Gibbs construction delayed for middle school entrance

By Jake Mabe

Knox County Engineering and Public Works deputy director Jim Snowden said last week that construction at Harbisons Crossroads (the intersection of Emory Road and Tazewell Pike) has been delayed and redesigned to accommodate construction of an entrance to what will be the new Gibbs Middle School. “Originally, we (Knox County) were going to form a left turn lane into the school and T-DOT was going to form a turn lane, and there would’ve been a gap in the Knox County Commissioner Dave Wright tours middle that would’ve done nobody the construction site of the Harbisons Crossroads any good,� Snowden said. “TDOT intersection redesign.

Ron Williams, acclaimed artist, dies Family struggles to pay for funeral By Betty Bean Artist Ron Williams, whose sweeping mountain landscapes grace the walls of fine homes and galleries across America and abroad, died June 24 at Parkwest Medical Center of congestive heart failure. Two weeks later, his sister Elaine Ron Williams was struggling to at age 14 pay for his funeral. Part of the problem was that Williams was painfully shy and struggled with mental illness for most of his adult life. Artist Eric Sublett, a former gallery owner, said Williams, for all his talent, couldn’t deal with the business of art. “His main style was that of the Hudson River School, but he

Elaine Williams said that some of her brother’s last outings were to Lakeshore Park, where he would reminisce about what used to be. “He was very upset about Lakeshore’s closing and was very concerned about the patients.

‘Dealers in rare things and fine jewelry’ John W. Hope (1842-1914)

John W. Hope (18421914). Civil War veteran John Hope reorganized his father’s Gay Street jewelry store in 1868 in partnership with Fred Miller. Photos

When Col. J.C. Woodward liquidated his extensive real estate development in Lexington, Ky., in 1890 and moved to Knox County, he purchased the Fountain Head Hotel and Resort. He enhanced the park adjoining the hotel and impounded the lake nearby. He also established the Fountain Head Land Co. and

advertised residential lots with “easy transportation, pure water, beautiful trees and a pleasant climate� in the local papers. The post office soon renamed the suburb Fountain City to avoid confusion with Fountain Head in Sumner County. Among the first to purchase lots there and build summer homes or to establish permanent residence in the suburb were Col. J.C. Williams, coal magnate; Sol H. George, department store owner; and John W. Hope, prominent Gay Street jeweler. Perhaps the most interesting of these choices of a home site was that of John W. Hope since he was the grandson of famous architect Thomas Hope (1757-1820). An ability to choose building sites seems to have passed down through the generations. Thomas Hope, an English architect and furniture builder who had trained in London, moved to Knox County in 1785. His first local project was Francis Alexander Ramsey’s elegant two-story Georgian-style home at Swan Pond, built of locally quarried marble and completed in 1797. A decade later, Hope built “Trafalgar� for planter John Kain, overlooking the Holston River (1806), and Charles McClung’s Federal-style

Hope Brothers Jewelers (c. 1930). The store and its iconic ornamental clock were downtown landmarks for many years. CMMHC, Thompson Collection, N-3848

“States View� at Ebenezer in West Knox County (1812). Hope also built Dr. Joseph C. Strong’s house, on the corner of State Street and Cumberland Avenue, which was later named “Maison de Sante� (1812). Some attribute the original design of the James Park House on Cumberland Avenue to Hope, and several payments Hope received from Thomas Humes, builder of the Lamar House Hotel, indicate that he may have participated in the hotel’s design. Ramsey House and States View still stand as evidence of Thomas Hope’s architectural expertise, and both are on the National Register of Historic Places. Blount Mansion still displays some of his elegant furniture. John W. Hope’s father, David Large Hope (1799-1869), was born at the Ramsey Plantation in 1799. He married Mary E. Welsh, and they became parents of several

children, including our subject, John William Hope, on Dec. 27, 1842. After attending the common schools, John apprenticed himself to his father, a silversmith. He traveled to Atlanta early in the Civil War (1861-1865) to enlist in the Georgia 1st Regiment of Regulars (CSA) and was stationed at Fort Pulaski until the Battle of Manassas. After that battle, he transferred to Gen. Rogers’ Virginia Cavalry. He was captured at Culpeper Courthouse and imprisoned at notorious Point Lookout, where he served 16 months. Although he was ardent in his support of the Confederacy during the fighting, Hope refused to hold ill will, and after the war he turned his efforts toward rebuilding the South. Hope Jewelers had been founded by his father in 1846, but John Hope and Fred Miller reorganized the business in 1868, and John’s brother, David J. Hope, joined the firm not long after.

Dr. Tumblin’s latest book, “Fountain City: Those Who Made a Difference,� is available at the Fountain City Art Center, Pratt’s Country Store and Page’s Fountain City Pharmacy.

generated by Col. J.C. Woodward in the late 1890s. They bought on fashionable Fountain Avenue, which then as now runs along the western side of Fountain City Lake paralleling Broadway then curves up Black Oak Ridge. At the time, the heartshaped lake with its white board fence, gravel walk and gas lights was the jewel of the neighborhood. Each of the houses on Fountain must have had quite large grounds, as the 1910 U.S. Census lists only four families on the street: John M. and Lelia Tindell, John W. and Rachel Hope, James B. and Margaret Carson and George L. and Anna B. Price. The northern terminal for the Fountain Head Railway (the Dummy Line) was within easy walking distance for those families. From 1890 to 1905 the unique train collected 10,000 fares each day and, in just 30 minutes, carried John Hope and others to their downtown businesses. The railway was replaced by a trolley line that ran on those same standard-gauge tracks after 1905. The idyllic home life of John W. and Rachel Hope ended on Sept. 8, 1914, when John passed away at home after several months of failing health. After services conducted by the Rev. French Wampler at the Fountain City Methodist Church, South, he was buried in Greenwood Cemetery.

The 1882 City Directory lists “Hope and Brother� at 142 Gay St. By 1930, John W. Hope’s two sons, Albert G. (1869-1955) and James D. Hope (1872-1947), had joined the firm. After occupying two other locations on Gay Street, the store moved to 428 S. Gay St. in 1908 and to 613 Market St. during the 1930s and was liquidated in 1959. Hope’s storied 12-foot-tall ornamented cast-iron clock stood on the sidewalk at the Gay Street location and remained there when Kimball’s occupied the building in 1933. When Kimball’s relocated to Kingston Pike in Bearden in 2004, they moved the clock to their new location. Downtown business people missed the iconic landmark so much that several of them, including Wayne Blasius, Ann Marie Tugwell, John Worden and Chuck Morris, organized fundraising that eventually enlisted some 200 contributors, and a handsome cast-aluminum replacement was unveiled in December 2007. But back to John W. Hope for the rest of the story: After he returned from the Civil War, he and Rachel Ebaugh (1846-1920) were married on Dec. 7, 1866, by the Rev. John F. Spence in the First Methodist Church. They became parents of three children: Albert G., James D. and Nora (Mrs. C.G.) Davis. Early in their marriage, the Hopes lived on Fourth Avenue near Lamar Street. They probably moved to their home in Fountain City during the real estate boom

Sandra Perry’s time capsule By Carol Z. Shane Powell resident Sandra Perry says she started her mid-20th-century basement time capsule for her 10 grandkids. “They don’t just want to sit around the kitchen table, you know.� She cleaned out a corner of the garage and made a place for them to watch movies, and it grew from there. “I’m a visionary, I guess!� she chuckles. The room now contains five main areas: the “drivein� with big-screen TV, cars painted on the wall with reflective tail lights added and Astroturf underfoot; “Route 66,� which features automotive memorabilia and a TV “just for video games�; a comfy Victorian sitting area; a Coca-Cola bar with tabletop jukebox, Elvis, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe cookie jars, a countertop salvaged from a Wendy’s restaurant, and plenty of references to the fizzy drink; and the toy room, which contains a wealth of Fisher-Price and other brands of toys. Her grandchildren “just go crazy when they see it,� Perry says. Lining the upper wall in the Coca-Cola bar are high school photographs of Perry’s nearest and dearest friends. She grew up on Gratz Street in the Fourth & Gill neighborhood “with 21 boys and nine girls,� she says. Although a few members have passed on, the close-knit childhood gang still continues to meet regularly. Recently, Perry threw a party for John Prater, a former KUB employee who is moving to Arizona. “I wanted to see Johnny,� says Perry. “I knew I wouldn’t see him again.� Almost every display – from old pictures of Gay Street pedestrians to Beatles figurines to a wall of trophies – ties in family and friends. “I try to include a little of my kids in everything.� Perry says her garage-tofantasy-basement renovation had its beginnings two

had spent several hot summer days on foot, knocking on doors and asking for help, was relieved when a graveside service was set for Tuesday, July 12.

become men – at Georgia, at Texas A&M, home against Alabama. Even the open date is potentially threatening. If the Vols lose again to the Tide, a hangover is almost sure to follow. If the Vols win, it might take more than a couple of weeks to return to Earth. That sets up a tricky trip to South Carolina. Strange that ESPN and the world are just now noticing that Tennessee Novembers are rigged. For generations, UT teams have generally improved as they went along. November was a dependable time to enhance the season record. For coaches above the borderline, it was time to milk the cash cow, negotiate contract

extensions, gain significant raises and qualify for bowl bonuses. Indeed, there have been several Novembers to remember. Thirty-seven times since the Southeastern Conference was organized, Tennessee has won all its November league games. That was possible because the “Third Saturday� was in October. In November, in times past, there was unbelievable domination of Kentucky and Vanderbilt – 26 in a row over the Wildcats, 22 consecutive against the Commodores. If you want to dig deeper, UK defeated UT four times in 46 years. Vandy won four in 50. This

does skew late-season worksheets. Beginning at the SEC beginning, in 1933, Robert R. Neyland went 31-5 against league foes in November. Bowden Wyatt was only 10-10. For that and other reasons, he was asked to go away. Doug Dickey got off to a slow start but ended up with 12 victories in 19 SEC November games. Bill Battle finished poorly but was 15-5 in his seven Novembers. John Majors’ Vols went 40-12 against conference opponents in November. He had an eight-year run where he didn’t lose late. Phillip Fulmer was the best of the bunch, 41-5.

Northeast survey reveals desires, needs The online survey of business availability in Northeast Knoxville is entering its final week. Your voice is important and we want to hear from you. Please invest five minutes to complete the survey monkey questionnaire – there are just 9 questions – so we will have a decent database to help launch a successful Economic Summit for the northeast quadrant this fall. The Chamber and Leadership Knoxville have said they will join us in that effort. So will the four BPAs active in our area. Sneak Preview: Here is how things are looking based on the first 100 respondents’ opinions we have received. Over 60 percent of you say you shop mainly at the East Towne business district and along the Broadway corridor. Less than 35 percent identify West Town and Turkey Creek as their

Nick Della Volpe

main choice. That’s not surprising. We live in the East or Northeast part of the city and would rather shop and support businesses in our own backyard. If our survey could reach folks from the outlying areas in Knox County, as well as Grainger, Union, Campbell and Jefferson counties, not to mention South Knoxville, I bet that north-and-east local business numbers would be even higher. Who needs the traffic and hassles of the west side if you can find what you need out here? Over 65 percent of the survey respondents thus far assert that more retail

is needed out here. Where are the developers and entrepreneurs? Opportunities abound for restaurants and bakeries to higher quality clothing stores, especially for women – you know the majority who really control the purse strings in America – and other retail. More and better restaurants were specifically identified as a need. Personally, I end up braving west traffic occasionally to visit a Bravo Italian or Carrabas or Hard Knox pizza, just to sample some varied flavors. Meanwhile, locals stand in line on the weekends to get into Aubreys, Puleo’s or a nearby steak house. The Habaneros brothers have recently added a second restaurant just to handle the daily flow. Chefs, where are you? Bistro yourself out here. Many of the respondents identified greater health care as a need they would

like to see fulfilled. That varies from walk-in clinics and women’s-care or childcare centers to a full service hospital. We have been shortchanged ever since St. Mary’s (now Tennova) decided to chase the fatter insurance policies out west. Countless people have identified the old (caring) St. Mary’s as the place where they or their children were born or a loved one had surgery and attentive post-op care. The days of the good Sister hauling in one of Peyton’s passes have waned. Other respondents cite the need for greater care facilities to treat Alzheimer’s or dementia-related illnesses. They say UT services in that regard are backlogged and thus hard to access. Without attempting more than this short survey glimpse right now, I will say that some respon-

dents want to see more pedestrian-friendly roads, a cleaner and better run mall (wake up Simon and your salvage holding company W.P.Glimcher!), as well as more family-run local businesses. Perhaps the Magnolia corridor revamp will jumpstart the effort there. The city engineers need to make upper Broadway easier to traverse by car and on foot, and so on. Meantime, please log on to your computer and take the survey. You can spare five minutes. The internet link is: surveymonkey. com/r/KCMR9X9. You can also reach it from my Facebook page. We’ll close that survey portal next week. Act now. Don’t just sit on your hands. Let’s take charge of our future. Let the Summit begin! Nick Della Volpe is a lawyer who represents District 4 on the Knoxville City Council. Reach him at ndellavolpe@ gmail.com

All the above lost credit for one or more victories over Vanderbilt because the games were in December. As bad as was Derek Dooley’s coaching, his November record against SEC opponents was 8-4. Butch Jones is 8-4. The easy part of the typical Tennessee schedule is not easy. The Vols are often at a psychological disadvantage. Going back to Neyland, Kentucky and Vandy would hide behind their disappointments and wait in ambush, hoping to disrupt or spoil the Orange season. So it remains, forever and ever, amen. Marvin West welcomes reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

GOSSIP AND LIES ■Steve Hall does not have my endorsement in District 18, even though he apparently sent out a mailer implying that. ■James Corcoran would be my choice if I voted in District 18, which I do not. ■And it speaks to the quality of candidates in that race that the only one I’ve not yet met is James Corcoran. ■Hey, Amy Brace! I met the new principal at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy last week and she got my attention. Brace looked at her community school volunteers and said, “We don’t want anyone to come here with pity.� ■“Our kids are as smart as any others, and if some started in a hole, then we just have to work harder to pull them up.� ■Susan Espiritu is handing over her staff and students to a hard-nosed leader. And we’re going to have some fun this year!

Ex-senator Brock won’t attend GOP convention The East Tennessee Development District, along with the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency, celebrates 50 years at an awards banquet at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris on July 14. This agency has assisted many disadvantaged persons in the mid-east Tennessee area. ■Former U.S. Sen. Bill Brock, who lives in Annapolis, Md., is a former Republican National Committee chair, but he will not attend the Republican National Convention for the first time in over three decades. His son Oscar Brock was recently elected GOP National Committee member from Tennessee and is an alternate delegate. The senior Brock continues to be active for the GOP at other levels and is hosting a fund raiser for Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in a few weeks. This writer is a delegate for Marco Rubio to the GOP convention and this week is serving on the platform committee in Cleveland, Ohio. ■In December 2017, five members of City Council rotate off due to term limits. They are Nick Della Volpe, Brenda Palmer, Nick Pavlis, Duane Grieve and Daniel Brown. People are already starting to look at running for these five seats. One of the most active is Lauren Rider, who lives

Her other issues include greenways, infrastructure improvement and sidewalks. â– The House race in West Knox County for the District 18 seat now held by state Rep. Martin Daniel is becoming more heated as early voting beings this Friday. A debate was held last night between Daniel, James Corcoran, Steve Hall and Bryan Dodson. Hall has sent out two attack pieces on Daniel, and Daniel has responded with mailers reminding voters that Hall, along with then-Sen. Stacey Campfield, tried to sell Lakeshore Park. Daniel accuses Hall of wanting to increase his current state pension by 50 percent through one more term in the House. Hall also draws a city pension from his council service. Hall for four years was almost invisible, but he has started early in attacking Daniel. Daniel is reminding voters why they retired Hall two years ago. Also in the contest is Corcoran, who has impressed many observers with his calm, articulate approach. He is hindered by not having the campaign funds which the others have.

â– Ron Williams, Knoxville landscape artist, died June 24 at 69. While his death was not widely reported, his works represent the Hudson River stylized artist approach. They are in many homes across Knox County as well as our convention center. A talented and vigorous artist, he will be deeply missed. â– Mayor Rogero deserves compliments for insisting reforms in the KPD moonlighting policy go forward and no retribution occur against the officers who raised the issue. â– Thanks to poor management decisions by UT athletic director Dave Hart and others, UT has paid out over $4 million to settle lawsuits which they said they would vigorously defend when first filed. That assertion was a myth. It seems no one is being held to account for this. Will Hart simply get another pay raise? UT President Joe DiPietro will appoint a commission to review Title IX compliance. It is imperative this commission be totally objective and include persons free to ask questions. The commission must have staff to do the work. UT personnel must be instructed to cooperate and provide access to all documents. The meetings must be open to the public.

If the 5th District school board runoff had been held last fall, the debate would have started (and pretty much ended) with the question, “James McIntyre: for him or against him?� The controversial former superintendent changed the conversation when he announced in December that he was stepping down from his $228K (plus perks) job. But underlying issues still remain. Both Susan Horn and Buddy Pelot have relatives who have served in public office – state Rep. Jason Zachary is married to Horn’s Susan Horn cousin, and former City Council member Barbara Pelot is Buddy Pelot’s mother – but the candidates say that family ties have little to do with their reasons for running. Horn finished Buddy Pelot first in the three-way March primary with 4,364 votes, or 44.86 percent, narrowly missing the 50 percent plus one needed to avoid a runoff. Pelot got 2,932 votes, or 30.14 percent, nosing out third-place finisher Lori Ann Boudreaux, who had 2,431 votes for 24.99 percent. A longtime PTA stalwart and school volunteer, Horn is doing lots of door knocking and enjoys the support of PACE, the political action committee of the Knox County Education Association, and SPEAK, an organized group of teachers and parents who banded together to oppose corporate education reform and the high-stakes testing that accompanied it. Susan and Brad Horn have two daughters who attended Knox County schools. She said that working in her children’s schools got her interested in running for school board. “I’ve worked alongside teachers on the parents’ side for a long time, and I’ve seen some of the consequences of state reforms – how they’ve changed the overall atmosphere and environment in our schools over the past few years. That’s what led me to want to run.�

Betty Bean Pelot, an attorney whose given name is Reuben Nisbet Pelot IV, is the son of longtime West Knox dentist Reuben “Nib� Pelot (and Barbara, of course). He and his wife Judith have three daughters who have or currently are attending Knox County schools. Both have been actively involved in the PTA, and he decided to run after hearing that incumbent Karen Carson wasn’t going to seek re-election. He has gotten strong support from the city’s business elite, largely mirroring that of District 2 candidate Grant Standefer, who lost to former teacher Jennifer Owen in the primary. Pelot said the similarity between his contributor list and Standefer’s is because they share a common consultant, Gary Drinnen of Targeted Strategies. When asked how he will turn the March numbers around in the August election, he said his campaign will look for the most efficient ways to get the word out. Drinnen is known for massive amounts of direct mail. Pelot said he’s always had a deep interest in education (UT’s Bob Kronick, founder of Knox County Schools’ community schools movement, urged him to pursue a master’s in education rather than go to law school). “I’m not getting into this because I’ve got an agenda. I’m just pursuing excellence in education for all our kids in Knox County,� he said, echoing a McIntyre theme. “I’m an advocate in my career, and there are no attorneys on the board, so I can add something there, rather than just being another voice on the board.�

Jackson surprises Morning Pointe residents For some time, the residents of Morning Pointe of Powell had enjoyed gathering together to listen to Alan Jackson and sing along.

Bookwalter UMC partners with Smokey’s Closet By Carol Z. Shane Mary Mahoney, assistant director of the University of Tennessee’s Center for Career Development and member of Bookwalter United Methodist Church, spends her days helping students prepare for life after graduation. She’s well versed in a variety of channels such as internships and job fairs that can open up opportunities in the working world. A few years ago, she saw a need that wasn’t being addressed. “We’d heard students say they needed clothing,� she says. “Suit jackets, pants, things like that.� Goodlooking business clothing is indeed pricey, and college students generally aren’t known for their bulging wallets. Thus was born Smokey’s Closet, named for the school’s mascot. The first year, says Mahoney, “We had collected quite a good amount. The students started lining up an hour before the time frame. Literally in a couple of hours we had given away all the clothes we’d collected.� The need was even greater than she and her colleagues had anticipated. And there was another problem: storage space.

Give her a share in the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the city gates. (Proverbs 31: 31) Long years ago when I was in grammar school, I learned that the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament had 31 chapters and that the 31st chapter had 31 verses. So, the teacher explained, since 31 was also the maximum number of days in a month, every person on the planet could claim the verse from that chapter in Proverbs that corresponded with their birthday. I went home that afternoon and looked up Proverbs 31. My birthday is the first day of the month, and so my verse said, by way of introduction, “The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him:� Well, that was pretty disappointing for me! Beginning with the 10th verse, however, the words of King Lemuel are an acrostic poem about the capable wife. It is an ode, really, extolling her virtues, wisdom, industriousness, good business sense, faithfulness to her husband, generosity and happy children. In 1984, when I moved to New Jersey, my new nextdoor neighbor came over to chat. As we exchanged information about ourselves, I told her that I was a musician and what denomination I belonged to, and she immediately told me the church I should visit first. So the next Sunday, we went to the church she had recommended and took our 2-year-old Jordan to the toddlers’ class, where a wise woman said, “You should meet my friend Anne.� I followed her instructions, and the rest is history. Even though John and Anne still live in New Jersey, we are still best friends and visit each other as often as we can. King Lemuel described my Anne to a T!

The Best in the World

“Research shows getting children outside reduces their stress levels and makes them more environmentally conscious,� says Stowell. “It is good for them to explore the garden on their own, with some supervision.� Volunteer Elaine Jollay, who usually helps with maintenance and pulling weeds in the flower beds, has spent some time helping with camp this summer and agrees with Stowell. “I think children need to see things and notice things without just walking by,� says Jollay.

The great idea Guinness Book of Records. Nick eyed the book, feeling perturbed. Clay hadn’t let him touch it yet. Clay even showed him the pictures too quickly, as if a look from Nick’s eyes would smudge the pages. Nick wanted to look at it on his own, take his time to see if there was anything besides the gross stuff Clay had been showing him. When he’d asked, Clay had said, “No way! I don’t want your nose-picking hands on my book!� “Here!� Clay said. “Get a load of these fingernails!� Pretending he didn’t care, Nick stole a glance. The man looked as if he were clutching ribbons he’d ripped off some presents. “That’s not gross. That’s weird. How does he sleep?� Clay shrugged and set the book on his thigh. “How does he scratch when he itches? Search me. But neat stuff, huh?� “I don’t know.� Nick eyed the book. It wouldn’t be hard to grab. “Ever want to be in that book?� — as the world’s worst best friend? he added to himself. Or the stingiest? “Sure. Once I did the most humongous burp in the world.� Nick snorted. “And my belly button whistles when I cough.� He slid his hand toward Clay’s leg, pretending to scratch his own kneecap. “No, really! And yesterday I sneezed twelve times in a row. I bet that’s a record.� Clay’s look dared Nick to disagree. Nick couldn’t stand it any longer. He grabbed and ran. “Hey!� Clay screamed. “Give that back!� “Who’s gonna make me?� Nick shouted. “Your grandmother?� Nick ran around the house, aiming for some lilac bushes where he could hide and take his sweet time looking at the book. He didn’t count on his little sister’s red wagon blocking the way. “E-e-e-iii!� he yelled, jumping. It all happened very fast. He shoved the wagon’s cocked handle away as his right leg shot forward. His smile seemed to lift him higher. “Yeah!� he breathed as he started descending. Then he heard a crash. “Ow!� Clay yelled. Nick couldn’t help looking behind him. The book flew from his hand. He lunged for

it and twisted in the air. The grass reared up like a snapped blanket. Nick landed flat on his back, knocking the wind from him. The book lay beyond his hand. He heard an “Ooof!â€? on his other side and turned to see Clay’s feet thumping the ground near his head. Nick tried to sit but couldn’t. He tried to breathe, but his throat felt like a straw collapsed from sucking too hard. Desperate now, and gasping for breath, Nick struggled once more to sit. Clay moaned as he pulled himself onto his hands and knees and wobbled toward the book. With a tremendous grunt, Nick reared up and threw himself toward the book, blocking Clay. Just as Nick was about to snag the book, Clay grabbed one of his feet. He yanked, pulling Nick backwards. Nick tried kicking, but Clay glommed on to his other foot. Nick felt as helpless as a worm on a wet sidewalk. Nick went limp and groaned. “All I want to do is look at it.â€? A wave of anger washed over him. “You’ve been a real creep about this book. And you know what? It’s not so great. It’s just about lot of losers doing lame things. And they’re mostly adults. A-number-one dolts? Get it?â€? “Oh yeah?â€? Clay said. He tightened his grip on Nick’s feet. “Yeah. How about the man who’s tattooed everywhere except between his toes. Gimme a break! Or the woman who paid six million dollars for a wedding dress. Come on! We could write a more interesting book than that!â€? “More interesting than the fattest model in the world?â€? Nick winced, picturing her. “Definitely. Let go and I’ll give you back your stupid book. Cross my heart ‌â€? Clay let go and they both sat up. Nick reached for the book and, holding it as if it were disgusting, handed it to Clay. Clay checked it for damage. Satisfied, he said, “You know what? You’re right. We should write our own book.â€? Nick nodded. “And make all the records in our book belong to us.â€? Clay grinned. “Hey! That’s a great idea!â€? He stood on shaky legs. “What record should we try for first?â€? (To be continued.)

Cross Train: Taking the gospel to the fields Seven years ago, Tim and Kandy Holt’s dream became reality with the Cross Train Sports Camp in Gibbs.

Kandy’s dad had a passion for helping and ministering to students and dreamed of creating some type of camp for them. The Holts took his dream and created a camp that is “like VBS on steroids.� Cross Train is a sports camp that takes the church to where kids are: on the field, at the court and improving skills in sports. The camp features a time of worship and scripture mixed with teaching and strengthening skills in basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball, football, soccer, cheerleading and volleyball. During the weeklong camp, students focus on one sport for five days. They are able to build relationships with coaches during the week and make new friends. This year’s camp hosted over 250 athletes (students in kindergarten through eighth grade), and more than 150 volunteers showed up to coach, register campers, serve refreshments, pray and help make the event run smoothly. “We continue hosting the camp every year because the community turns out to help and to participate,� said Kandy Holt. “We are grateful for the people who make this a success each year.�

Rotarians of the Year

Fleetwood Photo & Digital By Carol Z. Shane Frank Distefano, owner/ operator of Fleetwood Photo & Digital on Bearden Hill in Knoxville, is looking forward to the fourth weekend of July and the special services his business will offer to East Tennessee’s photography enthusiasts. He and his staff will be hosting a crew from Atlanta’s Peachtree Camera for sensor cleaning at a cost of $40, a service which typically runs around $65. “We’ve used them for probably 20 years,� says Distefano of the company. As another service, “People can bring in lenses and have them calibrated to the camera for $10.� Those who are unable to make it to the event are welcome to drop off their cameras ahead of time in order to take advantage of the savings. A buyer from Used Photo Pro will also be on hand. “Interested in selling your gear?� they ask. “We can give you a competitive quote to make sure you get top dollar for your old camera gear. Come see us at Fleetwood Photo.

He’s anticipating not only a commercial event, but a social one. “What usually happens is people get in here and get interested in what they’ve got and some trading goes on!� Fleetwood will also be offering one of its usual services – photo restoration – at a reduced rate.

Real estate markets heat up

Fleetwood Photo 6504 Kingston Pike

584-4554 www.fleetwoodphoto.com

By Sherry Witt On the heels of a very healthy spring, local real estate and lending markets continued on an upward curve in June, producing 1,340 property sales in Knox County – 128 more transfers than in May and 167 more than last June’s number. The total value of land sold also rose as around Witt $304 million worth of real estate was transferred in the county, compared to $268 million in May. Although there were more actual transfers this June than last, the aggregate value of those properties did not reach the level of June 2015, when $345 million worth of land was sold. Mortgage lending saw a signiďŹ cant bump in June as nearly $460 million was loaned against real property in Knox County, well over $100 million ahead of May’s total. Like

real estate sales, however, mortgage markets came up just short of the level recorded last June when local lending reached $483 million. The largest property transfer recorded during June was the sale of multiple parcels in Shady Glen subdivision on Northshore Drive. The lots were purchased by Ball Homes for a total price of $3.834 million. The most notable mortgage transaction was a loan of $28.75 million, ďŹ nancing property along the South Knox riverfront at the corner of Henley Street and Blount Avenue. The second quarter has come to a close, and we have now reached the halfway point of 2016. As of June 30, property transfers are running moderately ahead of the pace set in 2015, with just over 800 more sales being recorded this year than last. On the mortgage side, lending is almost identical to 2015 levels, as $1.942 billion has been borrowed against real estate this year, compared to $1.936 billion during the ďŹ rst half of 2015.

Master Service shows dramatic growth

Relocates to Clinton Highway By Sandra Clark One of Knox County’s fastest-growing businesses has relocated to Powell, rehabbing an old auto parts place that started as a lumber yard at 6226 Clinton Highway. Master Service Company owner Josh Smith has a unique g r o w t h strategy – move into an oversized space and then grow the Josh Smith business to fill it. Almost sounds like government! Smith spoke in June to the Powell Business and Professional Association. His is a great story. From his start in 2003, as Kentucky Crawl Space, Smith has grown the business to 100 employees and expects to reach sales of $13-15 million this year. “People think we’re a franchise,” he says, but he’s not. Along the way, the business named changed to Master Dry and now is Master Service to encompass the array of home and commercial repair services offered. The business base is foundation and crawl space work and waterproofing, or as Smith puts it, “We specialize in professional services that improve the health and functionality of your below-grade space.” The company will do whatever it takes to make a basement, crawl space and foundation safe and usable. Josh Smith is a Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) and has extensive experience in environmental and building science. He attributes the business growth to his core philosophy: “Treat people right and do things right … and see what happens.” Smith does not have a college degree and he got a GED from high school, but he is well-read and learns “by studying other people.” He said the coolest thing about his company is how it operates. “As we grew, we started to lose our culture. I empower the people we hire and we hire good people. But we broke down. I put in writing our mission, our values, our ‘why.’ Now I do the final interview for every full-time employee.” Smith’s values include being “relentless in our pursuit of constant improvement.” He wants to provide a

“wow” service to every customer every time. Master Service Company won the Knoxville Chamber’s Pinnacle Award for small businesses a couple of years ago and it won the Pinnacle Award for midsized businesses in 2016. You can guess where it is headed. One more story: Josh started with four kids and bills to pay. Working at home, he had no rent. From his first big job, he spent $1,800 of a $2,300 payment to buy a trailer to haul his equipment. That’s when his wife almost left him, he jokes. From there, he moved into rent-free commercial space, sharing a room in a friend’s office. Then he moved to a space where rent was $400 per month. Scary. When he came to Knoxville, he found space on Center Park Drive for $2,000 a month. It was like an echo chamber, he said, but the company quickly outgrew the space. Then he bought an old building, 14,000 square feet on Solway Road. Two years later he bought the space on Clinton Highway. This time, he hired Merit Construction to rehab the space, some 53,000 square feet of office and training space with a massive loading dock for supplies and equipment. Smith has a five-member marketing department and a person called “community ambassador.” That’s Kathryn Ann Holt who says Holt she loves her job. Holt calls working at Master Service “awesome.” She coordinates volunteer projects in which team members donate one day per quarter. That’s roughly 400 days per year of volunteers who know how to build things and fi x basements. “It’s about giving back to the communities where we serve,” she says. “Team members are not required to join in, but most do because they enjoy working here and have pride of ownership. “You walk in this place and you feel a difference. Our culture of doing the right thing is not just writing on the wall. “Our goal is to be the city’s No. 1 employer.”

Common milkweed: Toxic, tasty, important It’s milkweed time in Tennessee, at least in north Knox County and neighboring Union County. My dependable orange butterfly weeds have been going strong for weeks, but now are gradually fading away. Now I’m focused on their big cousins, the common milkweed. I’m following three or four large stands of over a hundred common milkweed plants each, up in the slightly higher and cooler environs of Union County. These are the milkweeds of monarch butterfly fame. Everyone knows the story of the monarch butterfly – their amazing migrations to winter in clusters of thousands in trees along the Southern California coast and the mountains of northern Mexico. Maybe less known is a more worrisome part of the story, unless you’ve been watching for them – their alarmingly sharp decline in numbers over the last decade or so. Some factors similar to those that are causing the 50-70 percent decline in our migratory songbirds are plaguing the monarch butterflies as well. Their winter-

Dr. Bob Collier

ing grounds are under attack by illegal timber cutting and agriculture, and their northern summering grounds are drenched with insecticides and covered with fields of genetically-modified, caterpillar-killing crops. And their mainstay family of plants, the milkweeds, is becoming ever more scarce as agricultural areas give way to housing projects and shopping malls. So it turns out that a key ingredient in all this, and something we can actually do something about, is the dwindling supply of milkweed-family plants out there. Common milkweed grows much larger than its more familiar cousin, the orange butterfly weed. It comes in robust plants three feet tall, with stout stems and large leaves. Its trademark blooms are un-

properties. For instance, when a plant gets injured, say, a leaf broken off or chomped on by something, the sap immediately oozes out and hardens into a rubbery seal for the area. It is so rubbery, in fact, that our military studied it as a possible source for rubber for tires, etc. when during World War II our usual supplies from Southeast Asia were cut off. The hardened sap has been used for chewing gum as well; not recommended because of its possible toxic substances! Many plants known to have medicinal properties are also poisonous in higher doses. Although comusual, 2- to 3-inch balls of mon milkweed contains around 50 tightly-arranged, substances that even now five-petalled, pinkish- are in use in human mediwhite flowers that, rather cines, the plants are labelled than being showy like their “toxic� or “poisonous� in the flaming-orange cousins, tend to blend with the surroundings. They, too, like to grow in unmowed fields and along roadsides and median strips, but they can easily be overlooked if you aren’t actually looking for them. The milky white sap that gives the milkweed family its name has some unusual

wildflower books. In some places, range animals hungry enough to ignore their bitter taste have died from eating them. Books on foraging for wild edible plants describe ways of fixing milkweed shoots or immature seed pods, describing them as “tasty� and “delicious.� Now, I don’t eat poke greens; I’m leery of eating anything you have to boil and pour off three times to make it safe. The same goes for a dinner of milkweed – why do it unless you’re starving in a wilderness somewhere? But – it’s a different story if you happen to be a monarch caterpillar, or one of the several other milkweedeating groupies out there. That sap and other juices contain a number of toxic substances that the mon-

archs are not affected by, and indeed, that they use to their great advantage in the big game of survival. And the story goes like this. Monarch butterflies lay their eggs only on milkweed plants. And when those voracious eating machines, the caterpillars, devour many times their own body weights in toxin-rich milkweed leaves, they are somehow able to incorporate the poisons into their body cells without suffering any ill effects. Then, when the caterpillars become adult butterflies, their bodies still contain the toxins, which are so distasteful or sickening to their potential predators, like a hungry blue jay, for instance, that they quickly learn that monarchs are awful to eat.

There’s a brand-new place to let your creative juices flow in Knoxville. KnoxMakers, a nonprofit makerspace, has moved into the first floor of the East Tennessee Technology Access Center off Martin Mill Pike in South Knoxville, bringing people from all walks of life access to high-tech tools, creative equipment and classes covering just about everything under the sun.

But wait. What’s a makerspace? It’s a community center where people create and collaborate to make things. What things? Anything they can imagine. “I think one of the things that makes this so interesting is that it means different things to different people,� said KnoxMakers creative director Issac Merkle. “For some, it’s access to tools. If you live in an apartment or can’t afford them, you can join the makerspace and use the tools here. There are also those for whom the point is learning opportunities. We have workshops every week, and the ability to cross-train with others is amazing. “For others, it’s a social avenue. These are people who would not go to the sports bar. It’s a place to be that’s not home or work.� KnoxMakers has been around for six years. The first makerspace was located in the Tech2020 Industrial Park in Oak Ridge. The move to South Knoxville has allowed the group to more than triple their space, adding a sewing and crafts area and a classroom. It’s also more convenient for UT students and underserved populations. “When I first moved to Knoxville, South Knox was where I landed,� said Merkle. “I always thought it was cool. This is like a homecoming for me. I think it’s awesome to get this stuff into this area of town and hopefully get people around us to come in and use it.� “This stuff� includes several workstations that cover electronics, woodworking, metalworking and crafting. Tools available include a MendelMax 1.5 3-D printer, industrial vacuum chamber, MIG and TIG welders, laser cutter, professional embroidery machine, wood and metal lathes, drill press, fully-equipped soldering station and more. Recent classes have included stained glass, vacuum forming, Arduino and Raspberry Pi, soldering and home automation. KnoxMakers welcomes

newcomers and nonmembers, but members get a key and 24/7 access to the space. The general rate is $50 per month with seniors and students at $20 per month. There is also a $75 sponsorship rate that includes two memberships at a discount. A group of volunteers has spent the last month moving equipment and upgrading the new space, adding air conditioning and ventilation and improving the electrical infrastructure to accommodate welders. KnoxMakers president Doug Laney said he hopes makerspace will “unlock creativity� in the same way that the Internet did. “The Internet did a lot to unlock curiosity,� Laney said. “The space between not knowing something and knowing something is now very small. We have access to the collective knowledge of humanity in our pockets. One thing that this space does is make the space between wanting to make something and making something smaller. “Do-it-together is actually better than do-it-yourself. There are things that we have accomplished collectively that we could not have accomplished individually.� Some KnoxMakers members have gone on to market the inventions they created in the space. Two used 3-D printing to make marketable products and another is set to appear on “Shark Tank� with an exercise machine. “We want to be the nexus for creative and technical and entrepreneurial people in Knoxville,� said Laney. “We want to be the place where they get together and all those creative collisions happen. We place a lot of value on the community we have. “The larger and more diverse it is, the better it is.� KnoxMakers is planning an open house event to celebrate the grand opening of their new space. Details will be announced soon. Info: www.knoxmakers. org.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Shedding weight and worry “My blood sugar this morning was 116, and it used to be 200 in the mornings,” says Jim Johnson, 67, Knoxville. “I’m on no diabetes medication whatsoever, no insulin and no pills, I’m not on any cholesterol medication, my blood pressure is 110 over 68 with a resting pulse rate of 65, and I’ve been off the CPAP for six months.” Johnson is enthusiastic about sharing how much his life has changed since undergoing gastric bypass surgery at Fort Sanders Center for Bariatric Surgery last year. He’s happy with the results, but also amazed that he spent so many years of his life not realizing how much his extra weight was holding him back. His only regret is that he didn’t do it sooner. Johnson once carried 244 pounds on a body that is five feet and three inches tall. That’s a lot of weight for a man of his stature, but he says he couldn’t tell the extra pounds were slowing him down, so the weight never bothered him. “I’ve always had a high motor,” Johnson jokes. As an energetic person with a successful career, a family to care for, and many other responsibilities in his community, Johnson never felt like his life was lacking anything. But as he began to age, the weight started to take a toll. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and GERD began to tip the scales toward a life that was Jim Johnson before and after losing nearly 80 not quite so satisfying by the time pounds thanks to gastric bypass surgery at he reached his 60s. Fort Sanders Regional. He had managed his health with periodic exercise and diet changes over the years, but when a long, hard look at where his life but with a wife he loved, children, troubled him. He decided to pursue and grandchildren he adored, the a weight loss procedure, and after his diabetes medication stopped was headed. Johnson wasn’t afraid of death, prospect of life ending too soon crossing a few hurdles and finding working effectively, Johnson took

Maintaining weight loss

Eligibility Criteria: Only patients considered morbidly obese or those with debilitating co-morbidities are candidates for bariatric surgery. Eligibility guidelines include: • Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35 • Are experiencing severe negative health effects related to obesity, such as high blood pressure or diabetes • Cannot achieve a healthy body weight for a sustained period of time, even through medically-supervised dieting

a time when he could put his hectic life on pause, gastric bypass surgery was performed by Mark Colquitt, MD in June of 2015 at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I’ll say this, I don’t think I’ve ever been treated better in a hospital or by healthcare providers,” Johnson says of the team involved in his weight loss surgery. Exercising regularly and paying careful attention to the doctor’s instructions on diet, the scales of his life began to tip back in his favor. “On surgery day I weighed 218, and at my six-month checkup I was down to 146,” Johnson says. “I had lost 78 pounds, and I was within six pounds of my goal weight.” His life has improved in ways he never imagined. Before losing the weight, Johnson says he couldn’t bend over to tie his shoes, and what he thought was a high energy level before gastric bypass surgery is nothing compared to the powerhouse he feels like now. “The stamina and energy I have is just incredible,” Johnson says. “I would recommend gastric bypass surgery to anybody.” Johnson emphasizes that weight loss surgery is not an easy way out. It takes discipline and dedication. The procedures offered by Dr. Colquitt are simply meant as a tool to help patients be proactive about having a better quality of life. “It’s like if you go to the garage to work on your car,” Johnson explains. “You have to have the right tool, and they gave me the tool I needed.” Johnson advises anyone whose life is restricted by weight to talk to Dr. Colquitt about bariatric procedures. “I would do it again in a heartbeat,” he says.

Bariatric patient Jim Johnson will tell you that it’s not easy. Gastric bypass surgery is a tool to help restore health, not a magic wand. “The reason I’m successful is because I’m a stubborn son of gun,” Johnson says. But he emphatically declares that his new life is worth every ounce of effort he’s had to put into it. “I’m tickled to death,” Johnson says. “I’m 67 years old, and I feel more like I’m 30.” Here are Johnson’s top tips for maintaining weight loss after surgery, with input from his surgeon, Dr. Mark Colquitt: 1. Educate yourself before the surgery. Know what to expect, and have a plan. “You have to go through a lot of things to make sure you’re ready for this surgery,” Johnson says. “It’s a commitment.” 2. Follow the doctor’s orders regarding diet. Dr. Colquitt recommends three small meals a day, with the focus on protein. Don’t consume beverages until 30 minutes after your meal. 3. Get plenty of support in groups and online. “I got on a bariatric support group on Facebook,” Johnson says. “If you have somebody who has a shared

interest, it’s easier.” 4. Drink plenty of water. Need it flavored? Johnson recommends dropping a couple of frozen strawberries (no sugar added) into a water bottle to avoid artificial sweeteners. 5. Keep a journal. Dr. Colquitt encourages his patients to stay on top of the changes in their bodies, and how their bodies are being fueled. Johnson uses a phone app to keep track of everything from blood sugar levels to the food he’s eaten. 6. Exercise. Dr. Colquitt’s patients receive a free, six-month membership at Fort Sanders Health and Fitness Center. Johnson says that was critical in his success after bariatric surgery. 8. Go for it! Johnson says one of the reasons he’s been successful is that he went into this process understanding that bariatric surgery isn’t a magic spell. Maintaining the weight loss takes discipline and commitment, but it’s a life investment worth making.

The Fort Sanders Center for Bariatric Surgery is now a designated Center of Excellence! If you are struggling to lose weight, please attend our free seminar to learn about the benefits of bariatric surgery that go beyond weight loss.

My

Vote

A SHOPPER-NEWS SPECIAL SECTION

Richard Nixon,

John Kennedy

By Jake Mabe “My vote doesn’t count.� You hear it often. Maybe you’ve even said it. And you’d be dead wrong. Ignoring any star-spangled platitudes about the importance of participating in a democratically elected form of government, here are a few examples in which American history would’ve changed forever had just a few folks either voted or voted differently. Most everyone reading this will remember the evening of Nov. 7, 2000. That’s the night the United States seemingly was on a path to “elect� two different presidents – then, for 36 days,

Lyndon Johnson

found out it had elected no one. Early in the evening, the network newscasts called the state of Florida and its 25 electoral votes for the Democratic candidate: vice president Al Gore. A bit of a surprise, the tally even that early on election night seemed to give Gore a clear path to the White House. But, a couple of hours later, exit polling – questions asked of voters as they leave their local precincts – appeared to have been wrong. Texas Gov. George W. Bush was leading Gore in Florida by several hundred thousand votes. The networks deemed the state “too close to call.� At 2:30 a.m. (EST), Bush,

JULY 13, 2016

Al Gore Jr.

leading Gore in Florida by about 100,000 with 85 percent of the vote tallied, was declared the winner. Cameras waited for Gore’s concession speech in Nashville. It never came. Bush’s razor-thin “victory� in Florida, which had dwindled to less than 300 votes by morning, triggered an automatic recount that in itself triggered a series of lawsuits. Finally, on Dec. 7, the U.S. Supreme Court, in two decisions, declared a statewide recount unconstitutional and that recounts couldn’t be completed by a “safe harbor� deadline. Bush officially won Florida, and thus the presidency, by 537 votes. He was awarded 271

George W. Bush

electoral votes (270 are needed to win), and Gore won 266. However, Gore won the popular vote, 50,999,897 to Bush’s 50,456,002. Some analysts say that the 2.7 percent of the vote captured by Green Party candidate Ralph Nader hurt Gore’s candidacy by drawing away traditional Democratic voters. Also, had Gore won his home state of Tennessee or the state of West Virginia, which until the turn of the century was a reliably Democratic state, the outcome in Florida ultimately would not have mattered. In 12 states – Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico,

Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin – the margin of victory was less than 5 percent. In 10 more states – Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia – the margin of victory was greater than 5 percent but less than 10 percent. The 1960 presidential race between Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M. Nixon was a close election of a different sort. Kennedy won 303 electoral votes to Nixon’s 219; however, Kennedy carried Illinois by less than 9,000 of To page 2

Town of Farragut Election Aug. 4, 2016 Alderman – District 1

Your vote 4.75 million cast. Kennedy also carried Texas by 46,000 votes. Switch 55,000 votes in two states, and Nixon would’ve been elected with 270 electoral votes. In the popular vote, Kennedy won 34,220,984 to Nixon’s 34,108,157. Widespread voter fraud was claimed in both Illinois and in Texas. In Fannin County, Texas, for example, 6,138 votes were cast in a county that had only 4,895 registered voters, according to a Washington Post investigation in 2000. Nixon refused to demand a recount, believing he would have no political future if he did so. Nixon later defeated Hubert Humphrey in another close election in 1968. Yet again, the votes in Illinois proved to be decisive, but this time in Nixon’s favor. These are but two examples in which, as it turned out, every vote counted indeed. Such close contests – and, potentially, such shenanigans – are not limited to presidential contests, though. One of the most infamous involved future president Lyndon

From page 1 Johnson’s 1948 election to the U.S. Senate. Johnson won a runoff Democratic primary contest by 87 votes out of 988,295 cast for him and popular former Texas Gov. Coke Stevenson. In one precinct in Jim Wells County, 202 votes for Johnson were curiously listed in alphabetical order in the same handwriting, according to Johnson biographer Robert A. Caro. Several people on the list later claimed not to have voted at all. LBJ’s 87-vote margin of victory led to a nickname that both he and his critics used: Landslide Lyndon. And a super story, no doubt apocryphal, also came out of that election. A few days after the vote, Johnson encountered a little boy who was sobbing great tears of grief. “Son, what’s wrong?� a concerned Johnson asked. “Well, sir,� the boy said, “I just don’t understand it. My daddy voted for Lyndon Johnson.� “Well, what’s wrong with that?� “Well, sir, he’s been dead for five years, and he didn’t even come by here to say hello.�

Why August elections matter By Sandra Clark How will the political landscape change as a result of the Thursday, Aug. 4, elections? Probably not much. Knox County: Law Director Richard “Bud� Armstrong was effectively elected when he beat Nathan Rowell in the May Republican Primary. Former Property Assessor John Whitehead was too, when he beat Jim Weaver, chief deputy for Assessor Phil Ballard. County Commission: We will say farewell to Commissioners Sam McKenzie, Amy Broyles, Jeff Ownby and Mike Brown. Expect the commission, now 9-2 Republican, to tilt 10-1 or even 11-0 Republican. In District 2, Michele Carringer (R) is favored over Laura Kildare (D) because heavily-Republican Fountain City joined District 2 in the last redistricting. District 1 could

Whitehead

Armstrong

be closer than usual as Evelyn Gill (D) is challenged by hardworking Michael Covington (R). Two Democratic women are challenging incumbents: Donna Lucas v. Brad Anders in District 6 (Karns and Hardin Valley) and Sheri Ridgeway v. John Schoonmaker in District 5 (Concord and Farragut). In District 4 (Bearden), candidates are Marleen Davis (D) and Hugh Nystrom (R). Both are newcomers. In the “Don’t bet the house against them� category are

incumbent Dave Wright in District 8 (East Knox County) and Carson Dailey in District 9 (South Knox). Four incumbents are midway through a 4-year term: Charles Busler in District 7 (Halls and Powell); Randy Smith, District 3 (Cedar Bluff); Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley, both at-large. Voters happy with the slowas-you-go style of Mayor Tim Burchett will vote Republican; those who prefer a bit more zip should vote Democratic. To paraphrase Donna Lucas: “The commission is male, pale and stale.� School board: Farragut area voters in District 5 have the only race remaining: Susan Horn v. Reuben “Buddy� Pelot. School board races are nonpartisan. For a closer look at this race, read Betty Bean’s column in this week’s Shopper. To page 3

From page 2

The school board loses Doug Harris, Karen Carson and Traci Sanger. Two years ago the board lost Pam Trainor, Kim Severance and Indya Kincannon. These members, plus Lynne Fugate and Gloria Deatheridge, formed a voting bloc for Superintendent Jim McIntyre. The lonely outlier was Mike McMillan, who will suddenly find himself in a 7-2 majority after the August election. And that’s why we’ve got a new superintendent. State primaries: The only real race is a great one. That’s in House District 18 where one-term incumbent Rep. Martin Daniel is challenged in the Republican Primary by former Rep. Steve Hall, attorney James Corcoran and former Stacey Campfield campaign aide Bryan Dodson. This race is too close to call.

Winning the close elections “Did you have a database?� then-state Sen. Jamie Woodson once asked me. “Yes,� I answered. My voters were on 3x5 index cards, colored coded pink (Democrats), blue (Republicans) and white (Independents or unknowns). OK. So the early 1970s were a long time ago. But lest ye think I am old – I’m younger today than either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Inspired by the disastrous defeat of Barry Goldwater in 1964, I set out to learn everything about win-

of 1971. The election was in August 1970. Five candidates ran from District 16 and I won by 16 votes. I Sandra was alphabetically blessed Clark with a name starting with “C.â€? (Stacey Campfield later used this advantage ‌ and Victor Ashe, well let’s just ning political contests. And say there’s a reason he’s in you’ve got to call me genius. Cleveland this week as a After all, who else could delegate to the GOP conmanage multiple winning vention.) Next up was the GOP campaigns for a 20-something female who really primary in August 1972. I didn’t get out much and pre- won again over four or five guys, riding that letter C ferred dogs to people? My first race was non- (and its first line on the balpartisan – delegate to the lot.) My claim to fame that constitutional convention first year was arriving a day

late (because nothing happens on the first day and I had a Shopper to get out) and requiring the state’s chief justice to come swear me in solo. Running for re-election in 1974 was a snap, I thought, but a gentleman got the Democratic nomination who put up billboards reading, “A man earns respect� and “A family man speaks for families.� I squeaked by with a 52vote win and decided to move on to consulting. Working for Republicans statewide in 1976 was an eye-opener. Running in

the wake of Richard Nixon’s resignation, the state GOP lost a bunch of races as Jimmy Carter swept the South including Florida and Texas. I moved on to printing. After winning that second term by 52 votes, I was depressed for weeks. Lord knows how a candidate copes with defeat. Luckily, I never found out ‌ because I left office a winner, thanks to a genius campaign manager, the lucky letter C and a fantastic database. Sandra Clark represented District 16 in the Tennessee General Assembly, 197276.
