Beaver Creek

grant-funded projects completed By Jake Mabe Projects along Beaver Creek funded by a $919,000 “clean water” grant secured in 2008 have been completed. Knox County watershed coordinator Roy Arthur, who is the grant’s project manager through the Beaver Creek Task Force, says the grant was awarded through the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s 319 grant program. “Every state gets an allotment every year and the state decides how to allot it,” Arthur says. “This grant was run through UT and the Tennessee Water Resources Research Center, who was the administrator. We focused on sediment reduction into Beaver Creek.” Partners included Knox County Stormwater, Hallsdale Powell Utility District, the Tennessee Water Resources Research Center and other UT departments and,

early on, TVA. Arthur said a watershed plan was created to focus on three areas – runoff from agriculture, stream bank erosion and sediment input from residential areas. “We did not address construction runoff. That is handled by Knox County Stormwater.” Arthur says a major component was community engagement/education. “These included, for students, the Adopt-A-Watershed program in six schools on or near Beaver Creek (Gibbs High, Halls High, Powell Middle, Powell High, Karns High and Hardin Valley Academy), and for adults, we held a variety of programs that focused on more specific areas rather than just general watershed education.” The agriculture runoff portion of the plan included fi xing pasture input problems on 23 farms along

feet of bank erosion problems, including on school property.” The last two projects funded by the grant are the cistern system installed this summer at Halls High School’s greenhouse and the Harrell Road Stormwater Park, which is still under construction. At the latter, Arthur says 1,700 feet of 18inch pipe was installed to reroute stormwater from Painter Farms subdivision through a created wetland pond, rerouting 355,000 gallons of water in a one-inch rain. “Before, all of that was going straight into the creek. Now, it’s filtered into ponds. These projects are all designed to provide some flood mitigation. Because we don’t have a large swath of land anywhere along Beaver Creek, we have to create storage on a small scale wherever we can. The more we can put into storage, the more it’s going to help prevent flooding.”

Tennova project delayed, hearing set By Sandra Clark Knoxville City Council has delayed rezoning land on Middlebrook Pike near West Hills subdivision where Tennova wants to build its flagship hospital. The project would result in the closure of the old St. Mary’s Hospital in North Knoxville. The vote is now set for Sept. 17. Knoxville Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis has set a council workshop for 5 p.m Thursday, Aug. 29, in the Main Assembly Room, City County Building. Rocky Swingle spoke on behalf

of opponents: “This is a serious issue that deserves full discussion.” Wesley Neighbors Community Association voted 91-7 against the hospital, Swingle said, even though Tennova has met numerous times with residents and has made several concessions to minimize the impact on residents. “We’ve got 200 yard signs up in West Hills and 300 names on our petition (against the project),” Swingle told the council. “Yes, it’s a $300 million investment by Tennova and several temporary

Beaver Creek from Gibbs to Solway. “We also held farmers’ breakfasts for education purposes and the last one we held was attended by 120 people.” The stream bank erosion portion of the plan included the signature project of fixing major erosion along Beaver Creek in Mill Run subdivision in Halls as well as creating a 3,500-foot riparian zone. The residential portion of the plan was undertaken in cooperation with Knox County Stormwater’s Environmental Stewardship Program. Arthur says it included installing 23 rain gardens in residential areas designed to capture and infiltrate the first one inch of rain off of 1,000 square feet of a roof top. “Eroding ditches (3,000 feet) were also turned into grass-lined swells, and we fi xed 2,000 square

(construction) jobs and increased taxes, but those taxes and temporary jobs are not free. “The biggest cost is the closure of St. Mary’s, followed by the diminution of the quality of life in West Knoxville.” He asked council to fund both a traffic and environmental impact study. MPC Director Mark Donaldson said a “thorough traffic study, the most intensive study our rules permit,” will be required at Tennova’s expense.

not want a postponement because “time is money.” Tennova has been “very communicative with multiple meetings,” King said, and had hoped for just a two-week delay (because the district’s council member, Duane Grieve, was out of town). City Council also postponed a vote on proposed apartments at Northshore Town Center until Sept. 3. Rezoning for Westwood on Kingston Pike (new home of Knox Heritage) was approved.

Long-range plans in Cape Town

“Nineteen-f “N N in inet etee eenn f if i f t y-seven y - se yseven ever” – the best yearr ev ever er”” (to graduate from Central High School), says Ed Decker. “Just look at the ’57 Chevy.”

Libby Morgan

Decker moved to Monroe County 17 years ago after living in Fountain City his whole life. He and his wife of 10 years, Arleen, have been a busy pair down on their land in Punkin Center. In addition to his work with Arleen growing and putting up tons of food every year; hosting, housing and feeding college groups for six weeks of “Break-Aways” (this year they welcomed their 1,000th student guest) and holding a few week-long wilderness adventures each year; traveling extensively (they honeymooned in a tent in October in Denali in Alaska … in the snow.); and maintaining a trail as volunteers in the Smokies; Ed, being of boundless energy, fell in love with the idea of target shooting muzzle loaders. “I learned to shoot when I was 12-years-old from my grandfather, Amos Watson, who lived in Roan Mountain, Tenn. When I was 17, my parents signed for me so I could join the Army Reserves while I was a junior in high school. “I immediately got involved with the rifle team and shot for the team for two years prior to entering the service. I continued shooting modern, high-powered

rifles in the reserves for nine years. Our team went to Camp Perry (Ohio) for the National Rifle and Pistol matches every year.” Decker raised a family, worked with his father, C. V. Decker, in construction, estimated jobs, sold for a long stint with Huttig, and crafted fine furniture. He created a cabinet from the wood of Tennessee’s state tree, the tulip poplar, for the White House during the Reagan years. A craftsperson from every state was asked to make a piece of furniture, and Decker was chosen to represent Tennessee. His furniture has sold in art galleries across the country, and his commissions have included restoring a grand piano for Lamar Alexander. “It was 40 years before I got into competitive shooting again. I read an article about shooting a muzzle loader at 1,000 yards with a bulls-eye the size of a basketball. “I said to myself, ‘I’ve got to see this,” and attended a competition. At the end, a shooter offered to let me shoot his rifle, an original muzzle loader made in the 1800s. He said I hit the bulls-eye. I was hooked.” Fast forward through a couple of years, when Decker won competitions all over the U.S., garnering enough medals to fill a five-gallon bucket, and in 2011 he was chosen to be on the U.S. International Long Range Muzzle Loading Team to compete in the world championship in England. “Our team brought home Ed Decker with his muzzle loader rifle, ready for the world a silver medal at long range championship match in South Africa.

you get up, clean the barrel, pour in the powder, ram the bullet in, attach the cap, lay back down to shoot, judge the wind, aim, relax … breathe … steady … and pull the trigger,” Decker explains. “The competitions go on in whatever weather condition you’ve got. In England, Hurricane Katia caused terrific winds during the match. My box of powder and ammunition blew off the table.” Winds are judged by the shooters with long flags on either side of the range to show direction and speed. These long-range shooting competitions take place on military installations and a few other official ranges. The shooters are aiming for a target you can’t see with the naked eye from 1,000 yards away. That’s 10 football fields. And Decker, at almost 75 years of age, doesn’t even wear glasses. “Two things really excite me about all this. I’m in good health and I’m able to shoot this well at my age. I think I’ll be the oldest competitor at the Cape Town match. To me it is an unbelievable accomplishment,” says Decker. There’s only one U. S. competition at 1,200 yards (that’s 12 football fields): the Joe Hepsworth Memorial Match in Indiana. Decker took home the 2012 Hepsworth gold medal. “Most long-range competitors shoot an Italianmade rifle. Lee Shaver in Missouri, our coach, is a gunsmith who produces a superb custom-made rifle. I placed my order for one of his muzzle loaders about a year ago and have just now received it. “I plan to take it to South Africa, and there are several on our squad who have this rifle. We believe we have one of the best teams we’ve ever fielded and I hope we can bring home the gold with American-made rifles.”

fire on a regular basis on the walk to school and back. He rearranged his schedule to arrive at school at 6 a.m. because one parent had to drop her daughter off that early before going to work. He found out the girl was hiding in the bushes until somebody arrived. “You gotta go that extra mile because (kids ask) ‘can you walk in my shoes?’ “I drove one of my kids home one night and the complex they lived in had Memphis Police Department officers in front of it. They looked like a SWAT team. I said, ‘Why are they here?’ My student said, ‘Those are our security officers for the night.’ It was almost like I was back in Afghanistan somewhere.’� Pinkney says poverty is rampant in Memphis, but also affects a sizable population of Halls Middle School students. “Two things help one (escape) poverty – educa-

tion and relationships. Relationships work. Students respond to those they respect.� He said one student of his was an excellent A student – when in school. Pinkney noticed the student had missed 54 days. He went to the kid’s house prepared to have a serious conversation with the child’s mother, only to discover the student had to stay home to take care of his grandfather, who had Alzheimer’s disease. Another student told him her mother had forced her to become a prostitute to help pay the bills. An algebra teacher was furious at one student who was sleeping in her class. Pinkney asked the teacher, “Have you asked her what’s wrong?� Pinkney did – and found out the student was an 8th grader with two children and had taken one of them to a clinic the previous night when she’d gotten sick.

The 32nd annual Big Ridge State Park Bluegrass Festival is scheduled for the evening of Friday, Aug. 16, and everyone is cordially invited. Bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. “Every year, we call in volunteers and schedule other rangers to come help, and if we get a big rainstorm, we can’t get all that to happen again, so we just look toward next year,� says Ranger Sarah Nicley, organizer of years 18 through 31 or so. This year, the torch was passed to Ranger Derek Wilson.

“Children are my passion,� he said. “When I was a Marine, I protected these United States with all of my heart. I never thought I’d be in a situation where kids would be in harm’s way.� As principal, he’s talked to students who face gun-

up some familiar talent and others who have never had the thrill of playing for free to the thousands who come every year to Big Ridge. Artists perform with no compensation other than a good time playing music. “Our musicians come out of the goodness of their hearts, and they always have,� says Nicley. “Our players like to jam up on the hill just to play together, in addition to their scheduled stage time. We usually have to go tell ’em to go on home when the festival is over at midnight.� She originally got involved with the event 14 years ago when she was a “loaned

ranger� from her post at Bicentennial Park in downtown Nashville. She landed at Big Ridge the next year. Nicley says she has noted festival attendance has fluctuated around 4,000 most years, but approached 8,000 one recent year. They shoot for 10 bands in 30-minute time slots, so the show keeps changing. “This event is designed to encourage our musical heritage. And the music here in Union County is amazing,� Nicley said.

She sang with soul and with a controlled power that some singers never refine in a lifetime. On and on the classics came – “Cry Me A River,� “Round Midnight,� “Mack the Knife.� It’s hard

The battle over James White Parkway Burchett ‘flip-flop’ riles city officials

Over in south Knoxville, public officials may come to blows in a confrontation reminiscent of the time in 2002 when then-state Rep. H.E. Bittle threw off his coat and offered to whip TDOT Commission Bruce Saltsman over the Orange Route. That project, SR475, was designed to funnel traffic off I-40/75 through Hardin Valley and into Anderson County. It never happened, despite support from the Knoxville Chamber and others who think roads mean progress. The James White Parkway extension is a similar issue. It’s a massive undertaking, a gleam in the eyes of engineers and road builders for decades, and once intended as a way to revitalize the south side of town. The bypass from Moody Avenue to John Sevier Highway would mostly be within the city limits. It’s shorter and therefore less costly than SR475, but has some similarities. State officials cite the need to take traffic

Betty Bean off the main artery (in this case, Chapman Highway). Supporters believe it’ll be safer and better for business. Opponents disagree. Everybody’s mad. Until a few days ago, the mayors of Knoxville and Knox County were united in opposing it. Then Tim Burchett got ambushed on a Friday afternoon by a TV reporter and said he’d changed his mind about the parkway extension – if it wouldn’t hurt the homeowners in its path, although he doubted that it was going to happen at all, given that no money’s been appropriated. City leaders felt blindsided. Sources say Burchett paid Mayor Madeline Rogero a Monday morning visit to do some explaining. Appearing to have taken both sides on

the issue, Burchett was unavailable for the balance of the week to explain why. Rogero and Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis are clearly in opposition. Bill Haslam, while mayor here, never took a public stand. But the JWP extension is a huge expenditure for no good reason. A city source calls it “a slap in the face” to those who for more than a decade have been working on the Urban Wilderness, a chain of public properties that includes 10 parks, 40-plus miles of trails, four Civil War sites, water features and scenic views, some of which are directly in the path of the JWP extension. City government has collaborated with the Legacy Parks Foundation and citizen donors and volunteers like the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club, whose members have created and maintained miles of trails. They point to the Checkpoint Tracker Adventure Racing Championship as a harbinger of things to come, if the Urban Wilderness plan proceeds unmolested by a massive road-building

project. The 30-hour race requiring compasses, maps, canoes, mountain bikes, running and rappelling will draw 200 participants and their families to Knoxville from all over the county in October. The Checkpoint Tracker website dishes out the kind of praise most cities would kill for: “The unprecedented land access rights granted to facilitate this event guarantees that even those familiar with the region will be delighted and surprised. We welcome all adventure racers, from novice to battered, to join us in beautiful Knoxville, Tenn., on Oct. 10, 11 and 12 for a weekend of championship racing followed by a righteous After Party and Awards Ceremony at Market Square in downtown Knoxville.” TDOT Commissioner John Schroer seems determined to sign off on the project, although the exact route and timetable remain a mystery. And, as with SR475, approval doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

The Farmers Market is spectacular – in full bloom. It covers the mall and extends along Market Street in front of Home Federal. Alongside the bright tomatoes and vibrant string beans, a nice couple sold worm droppings. In fact, Vern and Caye of Etowah have made their living off worms for a couple of years now, Caye said. And what’s lower than a worm? Why “worm castings,” an indoor/outdoor organic fertilizer, according to the WormWorks website. We moved on. Lunch at Café 4 was terrific, but we could have eaten on the sidewalk from one of a half dozen food trucks. Then it was off to Union Ave Books where Dr. John Hodges was signing his new book.

Asked how old she is, the kid said, “Seven.” She’s really only six. “Go into reporting,” I advised. Her mom said Izzie has always loved to read. “She’s reading on fifth grade level and starting into first grade (at Thackston School).” “I really like my (book) cover,” said Hodges, a retired professor of religious studies at UT, winding up to read from his book. “This cover represents who I am. The sharecroppers’ home shows flat ground and an outhouse. That’s where I came from.” The second picture shows Hodges engaging students – a man who earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, studied abroad, and challenged students for many years. The pictures illustrate the contradictions in his life. Growing up in the Mississippi Delta was tough, with uncles who gambled and a mama who gave whippings “at least once a week.” His stepfather drank on weekends and had a terrible temper. “But he gave me a most wonderful gift,” said Hodges. He offered to work twice as much to enable his son to attend school. “At age 7, we were expected to go to the (cotton) fields. But my stepfather told the boss, ‘I want my son

Lee’s old warhorse Gen. James Longstreet. (18211904). Graduation from West Point and service in the “old” army during the Mexican War prepared Longstreet for his active role during the entire Civil War (1861-1865). Photo

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

O

n Nov. 29, 1863, Confederate Gen. James Longstreet experienced his worst day of the Civil War in Knoxville while Union Gen. Ambrose Burnside probably experienced his best. During the Fredericksburg campaign in November and December 1862, Burnside ordered 11 ill-conceived attacks on Marye’s Heights, where Longstreet’s Corps worked the defenses. Burnside had 12,653 casualties while the Southern casualties were only 5,309. But a year later in Knoxville the results would be vastly different. James Longstreet was born the fifth child of James and Mary Ann Dent Longstreet, on Jan. 8, 1821, in the Edgefield District of South Carolina, where his mother had traveled to her mother-in-law’s home for his birth. Both of his parents, owners of a cotton plantation near Gainesville in the Piedmont section of northeastern Georgia, were descendants of families dating to the colonial period – James born in New Jersey, Mary Ann in Maryland. It had required hard physical labor and resilience for his father to carve a plantation out of the wilderness, but it provided a place for young James to develop the physique, self-confidence and work ethic that would characterize him throughout his life. Dreams of glory filled his head as he read of Julius Caesar, Napoleon and George Washington. To a practical father with a profitable farming operation but a large family, such youthful longings could be fulfilled only with the admission of his son to the United States Military Academy at West Point. In 1830, with that long-term goal in mind, “Pete” (as he was called at home) traveled with his father to Augusta, site of the state’s finest preparatory school. There he would live with Uncle Augustus B. Longstreet and his wife, so that he could enter Richmond County Academy. A graduate of Yale University and a practicing attorney, Uncle Augustus was enormously talented, a gifted conversationalist and a licensed lay speaker in the Methodist Church. James would spend the next eight years embraced as a member of the family. The formal education he received at the Richmond County Academy was enhanced by the informal one he received in the stimulating home of his aunt and uncle. He had been at Augusta only three years when his father died of cholera during a visit to Augusta. His mother decided to live permanently in Morgan County in northern Alabama. Increasingly, his uncle’s plantation became his home and Uncle Augustus and Aunt Frances received his affections. He barely mentioned

his mother in his memoirs. James Longstreet entered West Point in 1838. Academics challenged him from the outset, but he excelled with horses, sword exercise and “football.” He admitted to being the leader in “larks and games,” and his demerits reflected such common cadet sins as visiting after taps, absence from roll call, dirty room, long hair and disturbance during study hours. When he graduated in 1842, he ranked number 54 in a class of 62. However unfortunate it was that he failed to make the most of his academic opportunities, one can ask whether he redeemed himself at the Brotherton house on Sept. 2, 1863, when his troops met those of classmate Gen. William Rosecrans, who was fifth in his class, and turned the tide in the Battle of Chickamauga. At graduation Longstreet was brevetted a second lieutenant and served tours in Missouri, Louisiana and Florida. He participated in the Mexican War (1846-1848) under Gen. Zachary Taylor during the Battle of Monterey and then joined the forces of Gen. Winfield Scott for the expedition to Mexico City. Leading his troops at Chapultepec, he was wounded when hit by a musket ball in his thigh. He staggered and fell but handed the colors to Lt. George E. Pickett (who later became famous

courtesy of the Valentine Museum, Richmond, Va.

James Longstreet (1821-1904) at Gettysburg). Lt. Pickett carried the colors over the wall. The Mexican War served as a training ground for the Civil War. Longstreet’s physical stamina, skill under fluid conditions on the battlefield and bravery under fire offered unique lessons in his trade – that of a soldier. During the war Longstreet had carried a daguerreotype of Louise Garland, the daughter of Lt. Col. John Garland. After the war, in March 1848, they were married at her relatives’ home in Lynchburg, Va. He reported to duty at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., where their first of 10 children was born. He was

transferred to San Antonio, Texas, where the army’s main role was to protect settlements and wagons of immigrants moving into the state. In 1854 he was assigned to Fort Bliss near El Paso, Texas, 600 miles from San Antonio, where the garrison was responsible for protecting ranchers, farmers and townfolks from marauding Indians. On one expedition, Longstreet’s column traveled for 16 days toward the Guadeloupe Mountains in ice storms with extremely frigid temperatures as they pursued the Mescalero Apaches. Longstreet soon assumed the command at Fort Bliss and held that post until the spring of 1858. Concerned with the education of their two children, Longstreet wrote the adjutant general’s office in Washington to request recruiting duty back East, citing his 16 years of service on the frontier. Instead, leaving the two children in a boys’ preparatory school in Yonkers, N.Y., Longstreet reported for duty at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he served as paymaster for a year and was then transferred to his father-in-law’s department in

Albuquerque, N.M., where he arrived in 1859. South Carolina seceded in December 1860, following the election of Abraham Lincoln. They were soon followed by six other states. Longstreet had a very difficult decision to make. He did not embrace secession but he remembered his Uncle Gus and his passion for state’s rights and decided his allegiance belonged to the South. On April 12-14, 1861, the firing on and surrender of Fort Sumter signaled the beginning of the Civil War. Knowing that he was the senior officer in the Army appointed by the state of Alabama to West Point and because his mother still lived there, he wrote his friend, Alabama U.S. Rep. Curry, and Gov. Andrew Moore and offered his services. He was made a lieutenant colonel in the Confederate Army and reported for duty in Richmond on June 21, 1861. In a meeting with Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Longstreet learned he was appointed a brigadier general. Within days he was ordered to report to General P.G.T. Beauregard at Manassas Junction. Longstreet was assigned the command of three Virginia regiments and set about training them. Three times each day he coached his troops in the intricacies of regimental and brigade maneuvers. By the Battle of First Manassas (July 21, 1861) he and his regiments were sufficiently trained to acquit themselves well as they defended Blackburn’s Ford in a prelude to the battle. Thus began his service in the Civil War, service that would earn him the title “My Old War Horse” bestowed by General of the Armies, Robert E. Lee. Author’s Note. Next month’s article will continue Longstreet’s story including his “Worst Day of the War” in Knoxville in November 1863.

How fast is fast enough? We don’t know, at this play selection and snap the point, how fast is Tennessee football. Move it, move it! fast. The threat of a quick start limits defensive substitutions and adds risk to simple adjustments. It allows the team with the football Marvin to dictate pace. This is our West game, this is how we do it. Ready or not, here we come. Months of extra effort invested in strength and Based on what Butch conditioning will supposJones did at previous stops, edly give the orange (aswe think he will want his suming no major changes in Volunteers to really hurry uniforms) team an edge on on offense. No huddle. No opponents who do not take standing around. Quick it seriously. If the Vols play fast glance at the defensive alignment, check the card enough, defenders will tricks on the sideline for eventually feel the pain.

They might even get tired and make a mistake. Fatigue is a terrible affliction. Tennessee will not get tired. That has already been decided. Tennessee might cash in. We’ll see. So, how fast is Tennessee fast? Former Volunteer allAmerican Bob Johnson, hall of fame center, distinguished NFL alum, prominent Cincinnati businessman, has considerable insight into Tennessee possibilities. He has seen several years of previews. “My impression of Butch Jones is that his aggressive offense and defense match

The voice of reason When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them. But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a short time. Then he said to them, “Fellow Israelites, consider carefully what you propose to do to these men…. I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them – in that case you may even be found fighting against God!” (Acts 5: 33-35, 38-39 NRSV)

Gamaliel is a Hebrew name which means “reward of God” or “God is my reward.” Gamaliel shows up only twice in the New Testament: here, where he stands up for Peter and the other apostles, using his power of reasoning, and invoking the law of unintended consequences to calm the murderous mob. Later in Acts 22: 3, he is referred to again, when Paul names him as his early teacher, saying he was

that counted: parents who loved him and taught him “brought up in this city at the difference between right the feet of Gamaliel.” and wrong, enough work to That is not a bad track re- teach him the value of accord: Gamaliel saved Peter’s complishment, friends who life, and is credited with respected and encouraged teaching Paul all that he him, and one woman who knew of the Torah. loved him thoroughly and We need men like Gama- steadfastly (and still does to liel. this day). He reminds me a little of He was a quiet-spoken, my father. easygoing and reasonable Daddy grew up poor, personality, but it was said like most every child did on by those who worked with farms in rural Knox County him in business or comin the 1920s and 30s.

his personality,” said Johnson. “I really like him. All the serious Bearcat fans really liked him. “From what I remember, the Bearcats ran a very high percentage of no-huddle – mostly shotgun – most plays started with play-action fakes – he really wants to spread the field – create chances for one on one for ball carriers. “I think the pace was a big portion of University of Cincinnati’s success. I think they out-conditioned some of their opponents.” Johnson recognizes pluses and minuses but, overall, he likes no-huddle offenses,

on his heels you could be assured that his mind was made up and that was that. At that point, it would be easier to move the Rock of Gibraltar than to change his convictions about the question at hand. Gamaliel was such a man. Gamaliel knew what was right. He recognized wrong about to happen. He also recognized foolishness when he saw it. And he was willing to stand up and be counted. That takes courage. He was able to say to an angry mob, “Think about what you are doing. Be reasonable, friends. What if you are wrong in your estimation of these men? Sure, they may be wrong. But what if they are not? What if they really are sent from God to tell you what you need to know? What if their words are the most important words you will ever hear? What then?” Gamaliel was well and truly named. He was a “reward of God,” a hero given to the children of Israel at a crucial moment.

going all the way back to when Sam Wyche coached the Cincinnati Bengals. Yes, Sam is ol’ Vol Bubba Wyche’s big brother. It’s all in the family. “Sam, who is a great friend of mine, was a real proponent of no-huddle. He would say that the disadvantage was that offenses had to be simplified. “Even with the large sideline signs that Butch Jones uses, formations and even play design are limited. Even with limitations, hurry-up puts pressure on the defense. There are chances for errors by the defense if they try to make changes between no-huddle plays. “In addition, it’s entertaining. Things happen quickly. Athletes have to

react instinctively. Defenses can be driven into assignment errors.” Here’s the punch line: “I think we Vol fans will be very happy with Butch in the next few years.” I think Bob is correct. Butch got off to a fast start. Tennessee fans were quick to forget about Jon Gruden and other pipe dreams. For most of us, recruiting hustle reduced the restoration job from awful to just difficult. The show is underway and still picking up speed. Sometime soon we’ll find out how fast is Tennessee fast – and whether it makes a difference and does it produce immediate results.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Knox opens two new schools, posts gains on TCAPs

By yS Sandra andrra Clark an Dr. Jim McIntyre says he’s as enthusiastic and excited about the new school year as “any in my career.” Knox County Schools has made gains on test scores every year since McIntyre arrived as superintendent in 2008. He headed each page in a recent report with “Predominantly very good news.” I know because I kept flipping pages to find the “Predominantly less than stellar news” page. Not there. The state’s recently released TCAP and end-of-course data showed Knox County Schools: ■ Met 9 of 11 achievement targets ■ Increased 2.3 percent in 3rd grade reading/language arts proficiency (from 51.2 to 53.5 percent) ■ Gained in proficiency in 9 of 11 key achievement measures including math, science and social studies ■ Gained in 6 of 7 high school end-of-course exams including English III for the first time ■ Increased in proficiency in 25 of 31 reported subject and grade combinations. ■ Posted strong gains in Algebra I and Algebra II exams The list goes on. But McIntyre says it’s really not about test scores. Students: “It’s about doing a better job for kids. ... We want hard work and great instruction in every classroom.” He predicts a future where rote jobs are handled by machines or sent off-shore. Workers of tomorrow must excel at problem-solving and teamwork. Principals: “Being a public school principal in 2013 is an incredibly complex job,” he says. “Hiring and placing principals is the most important job I have.” McIntyre said efforts are made to engage teachers and the community when a principal’s job becomes open, but this year 25 principals were moved over the summer. “Even the Methodists give (transferred preachers) a little reception,” joked Betsy Pickle, who sat in on our interview. We advocated for a chance to say good-bye at least. “It matters deeply who the principal is,” said McIntyre, denying that his choices were in any way arbitrary or capricious. “Sometimes a retirement triggers change,” he said, citing elementary supervisor Susan Turner’s retirement, which led to Adam Parker’s promotion and Cindy Bosse’s assignment to replace Parker at A.L. Lotts Elementary. Bosse, an outstanding leader at Sterchi Elementa-

Carter Elementary School invited the whole community to cut the ribbon to open the new school on Aug. 9.

ry, was replaced by Christine Boring, who holds a master’s degree in educational technology. Sterchi is one of 11 schools that will implement 1:1 technology this year as a winner of the system’s technology challenge. Teachers: The goal of evaluations is to help teachers get better, McIntyre said, predicting excitement for the Common Core standards, which will be fully implemented this year. The Common Core has fewer requirements, enabling teachers to go more deeply into each subject. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Alves said subjects such as art will include more reading and lan-

guage arts, seeing “literary strands infused in those disciplines, especially in grades 6-12.” McIntyre said teachers who are ineffective are given an opportunity to improve. “Some can’t or won’t improve,” and those he recommended for termination by the school board. Four teachers were recommended for termination in August. There’s no count on the number who resigned or retired rather than face termination. In response to a question from Jake Mabe, McIntyre said there’s no way to generalize about older versus younger teachers’ acceptance of

technology. “It just depends on the person.” Change: Three years ago, teachers received tenure after three years and then were evaluated once every five years thereafter. Now teachers are evaluated by principals and peer teachers four to six times per year. “We’re now having ongoing conversations with teachers. We had 10,000 of those conversations last year. You have to get better (with that level of observation).” McIntyre said he’s no miracle maker. “That’s the teachers in every classroom across the district. They are the miracle makers.”

News from the Register of Deeds

Positive trends continue By Sherry Witt Continuing the upward trend of 2013, local real estate markets enjoyed another healthy month in July with 1,010 property transfers recorded in Knox County. While that was Witt slightly off Officers of the Fountain City Business and Professional Association Meredith Pratt, Regina Reed and Andrew Hartung present Foun- from June’s output, it outtain City Elementary principal Tina Holt (in white) with a back-to-school basket and giant cookie for the staff. Photo by Ruth White performed last July by 167 transactions. In aggregate value, July posted a robust $248 million – over $50 million more than the total value of land transferred in June. By comparison, about $186 million worth of land was sold in Knox County during July of last year. Mortgage lending markets had a good month as well. During July, around $349 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County, compared to about

$316 million in July of 2012. So far in 2013, approximately $2.33 billion has been loaned in Knox County in mortgages and refinances. That figure is running about $30 million ahead of the pace from 2012. The largest land transfer of the month was for a commercial complex adjacent to the Tennova North property on Emory Road at I-75. The entire transaction came in at just under $40 million. Another notable sale was the transfer of a portion of the Halls Walmart plaza off Norris Freeway. The parcel located in the rear of the complex sold for $5.95 million. On a personal note, many of you may be familiar with our long time Register of Deeds employee Billy Bright, who has been recovering from recent shoulder surgery. Billy is doing great, and he really appreciates all the concern and well wishes. We are very blessed to have him back.

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “I have recently noticed that my gums bleed when I brush my teeth. Could this be a sign of serious health problems?” Answer: Sometimes bleeding gums can indeed be a sign of health problems in the mouth or other parts of the body. Most often such bleeding is indicative of some degree of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), which can usually be treated successfully in the dental office. Periodontitis, the more severe type of gum disease, can lead to loss

of some or all of the teeth if dental care is not started soon enough. Gum disease also has been found recently to be associated with a greater incidence of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. I would strongly recommend a dental visit soon for an examination of your teeth and gums. Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

a direct course to the end of Clinch Mountain; thence with the ridge that divides the waters of Richland and Flat Creek. ...” The “end of Clinch Mountain” portion of Grainger County became a part of Union County on Jan. 13, 1850. As the settlers forged West in the late 1700s, there are many written references to mountains, ridges, creeks, branches, valleys, gaps and the like. At that time there were no roads and those places were named to provide directions for those who followed. The valley referred to in historical writings as “the great valley” includes both the Shenandoah Valley and the Valley of East Tennessee. Place names given were practical names and when designated with a story these names were easy to remember. It is interesting that both the mountain and the river are named Clinch. One story that has passed down through the years is that a young boy was drowning in the Clinch River and yelled “clinch me, clinch me;” but that seems not to fit. Both the river and the mountain had been there long before that event. I’m betting that a long hunter or a settler was named Clinch. If anyone

has documentation of this name, please let me know. Now, Clinch Mountain has two interesting characteristics – rocks and grease. Lots of rock formations date back millions of years. Trilobite fossils are found in the Clinch sandstone and can be seen in the rock wall at the Highway 25E overlook. Another characteristic unique to the sandstone of Clinch Mountain and the water of the Clinch River is that in certain places both the rock and the water are “greasy.” Oil has been found in the area. I expect that gave us the name “Greasy Hollow” in Claiborne County. There is a walking trail to

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Back to living, farming and riding For more than a year, Donna Barron’s back hurt, the kind of pain that keeps you up at night. During the day, it kept her from doing what she loved. “I love farming,” said Barron, 58, who lives in Crossville. “We retired (from Michigan) and moved to Tennessee. I drive the tractor and we garden. “I was really at the point of not being able to do any activities. Sitting, standing, anything like that tore me up,” she said. “I had to rest in bed four to five times a day.” Nor could she ride behind her husband, Mike, on their Honda Goldwing 1800 motorcycle anymore. “I couldn’t ride. I couldn’t bend over and pick up anything, either,” she said. “If something fell on the floor, it either stayed

there or I had to ask somebody to pick it up. On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain was a 10.” Despite her pain, Barron also did not want surgery. “I have osteoarthritis. I’ve had two knee surgeries and two neck surgeries. I didn’t want to have surgery again,” she said. Barron consulted with a doctor in her hometown, who prescribed steroid injections in her spine to reduce the inflammation. While these help some people with back pain, they did not help Barron. So her doctor recommended she see Dr. Joel Norman, a neurosurgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. He diagnosed her with stenosis, a narrowing of the spaces in the spine because of arthritis and wear and tear on

the disks. “The vertebrae had so much arthritis around them, the disk had shifted and was slipping out,” said Barron. Barron tried a few nonsurgical treatments such as physical therapy and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), which uses electrical pulses to block pain sensations. Neither worked to relieve the pain, and in March 2013 she was scheduled for surgery at Fort Sanders. Using minimally invasive instruments and only five small incisions, Norman replaced Barron’s disk and secured the two surrounding vertebrae with bars, fusing them together so they can’t move. This realignment of the bones created more space for Barron’s spinal cord, taking

the painful pressure off immediately. “The back pain literally disappeared,” Barron said after surgery. “I don’t exaggerate when I say it was a 10 when I went in, and when I came out it was gone.” Barron stayed at Fort Sanders just two nights. “The recovery from that surgery was astronomical,” she said. “I did have some residual nerve pain in my hip, but he put me on a nerve blocker and that works,” she said.

The back pain literally disappeared. I don’t exaggerate when I say it was a 10 when I went in, and when I came out it was gone. – Donna Barron

Minimally invasive surgery equals less pain, quicker recovery Eight out of 10 people will have some kind of back pain in their lives, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Certainly not everyone needs back surgery, however. “An acute back strain or sprain is not something that needs to be seen by a specialist. Those usually resolve on their own,” said Dr. Joel Norman, a neurosurgeon with Tennessee Brain and Spine located at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Degenerative arthritis of Dr. Joel Norman the lumbar spine is a common cause of back pain. This same condition can cause a narrowing of the spinal canal. This narrowing is called stenosis and it results in pain radiating down one or both legs (sciatica). There is often associated numbness and weakness in the legs. The degenerative process can also lead to slippage and misalignment of the vertebrae (spondylolisthesis). These conditions can be surgically corrected to treat the back and leg pain when all non-surgical methods have failed. Non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, stretching, pain relievers and corticosteroid injections should always be tried first. But if those don’t work, surgery may be the only path to relief. The good news is that at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Norman uses state-of-the-art minimally invasive techniques to perform spine surgery. These techniques allow the surgeon to make on a few, small (1 inch) incisions, rather than a long incision down the patient’s spine. “Smaller incisions mean less damage to

Barron said she’s back on both her tractor and motorcycle. “I’m back to doing all my activities that I’m used to, I just have to be smart about it,” she said. “They fixed it fantastically but I still have arthritis. “The care at Fort Sanders was great. It was so quick and I was home so quick. It was amazing, everybody was very, very nice,” she added. “That was the best surgery I’ve had, and I hope the last!”

Keeping your back healthy

surrounding tissues,” Norman said. “It gets our patients out of the hospital faster, with fewer pain medications. They’re back on their feet faster. Depending on their occupation, many patients can return to work within three to six weeks after surgery. It used to be that people were laid up for months.” “People feel so much better after surgery,” said Norman. “They’re out of the hospital quicker, walking around the night after surgery. It’s (minimally invasive spine surgery) really changed what we do dramatically and how people respond.” With some simpler procedures, such as the removal of a ruptured spinal disk, patients can even go home the same day. “We are a minimally invasive spine center, we’re making a difference for our patients,” said Norman. “Not many people in town are doing this approach. It’s somewhat unique and absolutely effective.”

Although many back conditions occur because of older age, the National Institutes of Health recommend taking a few steps to slow the process: ■ ■

Stretch before exercise or other strenuous activity Don’t hunch over while sitting or standing

■

Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes Eat a well-balanced diet to maintain a healthy weight and promote bone growth

■

Quit smoking

■

Oh my aching back ... Non-surgical option for relief Before considering surgery to cure your back problems, a great initial step is to try physical therapy. At Fort Sanders Therapy Center, a nationally recognized staff develops a personalized approach to the needs of each patient. Often times, a small nagging back injury could develop into something more serious. However, if caught early enough, proper therapy can reduce pain and keep you out of the operating room.

Blues in the morning

You’re sitting comfortably with a drink in your hand in a semi-dark room. Up on the stage, a guitar player wails the blues, backed by a tight band. You must be in a bar in Memphis, or maybe New Orleans.

ing to hear this guy will destroy that concept once and for all. “The fact that I preach and play – especially the really full-on blues stuff,” Trotter says, “has broken down potential barriers that can accompany my identity as a pastor.” And he’s all for that. As modest and self-deprecating as his playing is ferocious, he’s 100 percent dedicated to carrying the Christian message in any way he can. He came to the ministry via a path best described as “colorful.” In the early ’70’s, instead of finishing his degree at UT, he started a rock and roll band and went on the road. Then and now, his list of guitar heroes is long, including giants such as Eric Clapton and Chuck Berry. “Like you could play guitar and not list him as an influence,” Trotter laughs. With the arrival of the disco era, he left the road for radio. He spent 15 years at U102 (now Star 102.1,) much of it on-air, and seven

When he did, he “fell headlong into the blues” and started using his music to enhance his sermons. He’s served three United Methodist churches in 20 years of ministry and has been at Concord for the last 12. “I have the greatest job I could have ever imagined.
