Until burning in 1990, the original Halls High School building (later Halls Elementary) stood at the corner of Maynardville Highway and East Emory Road on a site that is now near the CVS pharmacy.

By Jake Mabe This is the second of a four-part series. As Halls High School celebrates its centennial, let’s continue to look back to see how it got here. It might be educational (pun intended). Last week’s article about the late Maxine Smith Smelser’s scrapbook proved to be popular.

Carl Tindell told me a story from his school days about Smelser that I wish I could repeat. Heh, heh. Anyway, to finish up with the memory book, Smelser kept a narrative in the back on the history of her class (1926). “Four years ago,� she wrote, “in August of ’22� – note that the postLabor Day start of the school year yearned for by many wasn’t always

Raymond Craig showed up for the class’ sophomore year, and Smelser says they had a lot of fun, “but hard work in algebra and Latin.� The following year, the junior class was reduced to 17, then to “the lucky number 13 at the end of school.� To page A-2

Leadership set for Halls Ahead Halls Business & Professional Association has identified four strategic areas of concern and selected leaders to develop improvement projects. Michelle Wilson, the group’s co-president, spoke about the Halls Ahead initiative at last week’s meeting. She said board members are tackling four areas of proposed improvement for Halls. Wilson is exploring development of a teen center. Carl Tindell, Bob Crye and Travis Woody are looking into improvements to the Halls

greenways and Clayton Park. Bobby Hubbs of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office is taking on streetlights, and Sue Walker of Tindell’s is coordinating shopping center beautification and promotions. Wilson encouraged the membership to pick one of the four groups and get involved. “We’re hoping that the HBPA as a community will get behind the efforts of the board,� she said.

Legislature to rewrite laws on elder abuse By Betty Bean Knox County District Attorney General Charme Allen can’t discuss open cases, but in the two years since she took office, she has become convinced that existing state law is too antiquated to deal with the growing problem of elder abuse. “Laws (addressing elder abuse) have always been on the books, but it’s not clearly defined. There’s the Criminal Code and the Adult Protective Services section, and we haven’t been able to rely on criminal laws. Last year, laws went on the books but there was still no comprehensive rewrite under the criminal code. New types of crimes are being committed – exploitation and financial crimes,� Allen said. One case she can talk about is that of an octogenarian woman whose “caregiver� forced her to watch him have sex with his girlfriend. Allen was frustrated when she learned that she didn’t have a criminal statute to punish the perpetrator. Elder abuse laws in the Adult Protective Services section of the code often have definitions that are vague and overly broad. “We have deemed sex crimes against children to be much worse than sex crimes against adults, but no particular sexual assault law was written to deal with elder abuse, so there

was nothing we could charge, and there’s no enhancement in sexual assault laws for crimes against elders.� No case law means no prosecution, said Allen, who has assigned two prosecutors, Andrea Kline and Willie Santana, to pursue Knox County’s growing number of cases in this category. Kline has been deeply involved in rewriting elder abuse laws for the reform package the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference will present to the Legislature when it convenes in January 2017. This package will consolidate elder abuse offenses and give law enforcement a clear and accessible guide to applicable charges and punishments. Last week, Allen joined Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch, Mayor Madeline Rogero

and U.S. Attorney Nancy Harr at a press conference announcing a $350,000 federal grant to be administered by KPD that will investigate elder abuse issues including emotional, financial, physical, sexual and neglect. Allen’s office defines “elders� as those who are 65 and older. Part of the grant’s purpose will be to educate law enforcement and professionals who work with the elderly, community members and clergy, to recognize elder abuse. Some staggering numbers were introduced: In the fiscal year that ended June 30, Knox County’s Adult Protective Services opened 483 investigations, 422 of which were within Knoxville city limits. They included 105 allegations of emotional abuse, 130 allegations of financial exploitation, 311 allegations of neglect, 78 allegations of physical abuse and 13 allegations of sexual abuse. Because financial abuse has been at the heart of 65 percent of the cases her office has been able to charge, Allen said Kline and Santana will be working closely with Bill Bright, who specializes in white-collar crime. “Hopefully, the conference will be able to roll this out and come out with an entire new code section by January,� Allen said.

Eighteen vendors will offer many different types of Asian food.

The dazzling Dragon Dance is one of the h highlights of the festival.

The third annual Knox Asian Fest is coming to town this weekend, and you won’t find a bigger, brighter, better party anywhere. With its mission to promote Asian cultural heritage in Tennessee and neighboring states, the festival showcases the best of each participating country’s rich traditions, crafts, arts and textiles. The food alone is enough to get you off the sofa and into the city. This year, it’s a bigger event all the way around. Previously located in Krutch Park, it’s expanding to include Market Square. “Last year we determined we needed more space,� says festival organizer Kumi

There are also various food demonstrations intended to educate the audience on ingredients, utensils and traditional culinary methods of preparation. You can view and take part in arts such as pottery, flower arranging, bonsai, origami, calligraphy, painting, bead work and tea ceremony. There are plenty of activities for children, including the popular Kids’ Passport attraction, where children can visit each

country’s tent and learn a bit about it, including the language, capital, population, main industry, history, traditional clothing and food, and how to say “thank you� in the local language. They’ll collect stamps in their passports for each “country� visited. It’s the perfect way to have one last end-of-summer bash with your kids, enjoy delicious food and sumptuous sights, and learn a little bit in the process.

algae-feeding nutrients and filter pollutants. In the past two years, the city of Knoxville and its contractors have repaired a leak in the earthen berm that surrounds the lake. Crews have repeatedly drained, cleaned, treated and taken measurements of the lake, and inappropriate species of fish have been relocated. Algaecide has been sparingly added.

This weekend marks the fourth collaboration of filmmaker/veteran festival organizer Keith McDaniel and the Dogwood Arts organization on the Knoxville Film Festival, set for Friday through Sunday at the Regal Downtown West Cinema 8, 1640 Downtown West Blvd. The opening-night film is the world premiere of “Opposite of Ernest,� the debut feature by Knoxville-based filmmaker Chad Cunningham, who won the 2015 KFF 7-Day Shootout competition’s $20,000 prize to support making the film.

Halls High School “We studied hard this year, because it was the hardest of our four years. Our entire faculty was new.� By senior year, “one (classmate) had come to us from Knoxville, one from Farragut and one from Central High.� (Halls, you see, is always Halls. Not Knoxville. Not anything else.) But note this: “Our colors are orchid and blue and our motto is ‘Duty done means victory won.’� Orchid and blue?! I’ve yet to come across any firsthand accounts of the effect of World War I on Halls in 1917-18, but World War II is a different matter. Several years ago, I interviewed some members of the class of 1943. Long-timers will know some of the names, such as Mary Brewster (Willie G.’s widow and bluegrass/country singer Paul’s mother) and the late Lena Edmondson, who died in March 2015. They didn’t have dances. The boys were at war. A few years ago, David Masters brought by a 1988 special Shopper insert that listed Halls boys who served in “The Big One.� It’s too

From page A-1 long to share here. Jack Copeland, John W. Johnson and Ross Peterson were killed in action. Copeland was a tail-gunner shot down while bombing German factories. Johnson, the oldest of seven children, was killed during the Battle of the Bulge. Peterson was “on his 50th and last mission when German antiaircraft fire brought his plane down in 1944,� his brother, Gene, said in 2013. The Halls High Alumni Association erected a marker three years ago to all Halls students killed during wartime. It’s near the flagpole at the front entrance. By the end of the war, Halls, like the rest of the U.S., was rebuilding and beginning to grow. Cas Walker’s supermarket, Avondale Farms Creamery and Knox County Sheriff Austin Cate all bought ads in the 1947 school annual. Next week, get ready to rock and roll, as we revisit the 1950s and the 1960s. Note: Last week’s article incorrectly identified Maxine Smith Smelser’s memory book as chronicling the Class of 1924. I regret the error.

Overton sees bright future for Halls football

Halls High School’s head football coach J.D. Overton foresees great things for the Red Devils football team. On Aug. 16, he told the Halls Business and Professional Association that more and more students are choosing to play football at Halls. This year’s football team has more than 110 members, more than triple four years ago. “One in 11 or 12 people at Halls High School plays football,� he said. “That’s one in every six boys. We are very encouraged that so many people are with us every day and playing football.� In that mix are about 40 freshmen Overton calls “the most talented group we’ve had since I’ve been here.� Overton gave names of returning players who will drive the game forward this season, including quarterback Caden Harbin, former linebacker and four-year starter. Harbin came to the meeting with Overton, and thanked the HBPA membership for everything they do to support Halls football. Overton said Halls is one of the only local high schools that doesn’t charge students to play football, and uni-

Photos by S. Carey forms and equipment can cost up to $1,000 per player. The program also feeds the team twice a week with support from several community businesses. “We do a lot of fundraising, and it all goes back to the kids,� Overton said. In addition, Overton said the Haslam family and Pilot are installing a “top-notch� turf field at the school, and

Overton hopes to upgrade the facilities around it to match. Improvements to the press box have already happened with help from Gordy Noe of Pioneer Heat and Air. Overton also wants to spruce up the entryway to the field. “We call this our football family, and you guys are a part of that,� Overton said. “The families, the commu-

nity stakeholders, everyone. Come out and watch these kids. That’s the best way you can contribute.� HBPA president Carl Tindell invited everyone to attend the football game Sept. 16 and participate in the 100-year celebration at Halls High School. “When you’ve got a good football team, it’s good for the community,� he said.

This week’s business spotlight was Elmcroft of Halls, and executive director Chris Tharp was on hand to talk about the senior living community. Tharp has served as director in Halls for one year and has enjoyed being part of the Halls community. Elmcroft of Halls has two communities, and one is a memory care unit for up to 18 residents, designed and staffed for residents who need a higher level of care due to dementia. The facility houses up to 60 total residents who enjoy six to eight optional daily activities and fresh-cooked meals. “Just because they’re in assisted living doesn’t mean they’re not really living,� Tharp said. “When you eat a meal at Elmcroft of Halls, it is prepared from scratch. We even have our own garden.� Tharp also announced a community education series that Elmcroft

Chris Tharp, Elmcroft of Halls executive director will host in conjunction with Beaver Dam Baptist Church, the first of which was held Aug. 23, after this newspaper’s press time. A.D. Baxter was the speaker, focusing on “When Faith Meets Your Diagnosis.� “When you get a diagnosis, they give you a medical plan, but you also need a faith plan,� Tharp said.

Leaders plan ‘Thunder’ fireworks show By Sandra Clark Fasten your chin straps for the biggest, brightest, loudest fireworks show in Union County’s history. Thunder in the Park is coming 5-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, at Wilson Park, adjacent to Union County High School on Hwy. 33. Admission is free. Thunder is sponsored by the Union County Chamber of Commerce to draw tourists to the county. It should work. The fireworks are provided by LaFollette-based Pyro Shows, which previously provided fireworks for Boomsday in Knoxville. It will be a 10-minute show, synchronized to music by Gary and Diane England’s Sound Machine.

“We’ll be having fun together,� said Leslie Corum. She has exploded into her new role as president of the county chamber. Funding comes fully from the hotel/motel tax, said Gary England, who chairs the Union County Commission. “Absolutely no property tax money will be spent on this show.� The chamber is promoting “Vendors Row,� a chance for county businesses to showcase their wares and sell items including food. Corum said there is no setup fee this year. England is coordinating the music and a Cruise-In which he hopes will bring 200 vehicles. He’s got the General Lee coming from

government Why the school board changed By Lauren Hopson Seven of our nine Knox County school board members (come Sept. 1) have education backgrounds – a feat rarely, if ever, seen in an urban school Lauren Hopson district. Yet many in the local media still have no clue what just happened or why. Comments are frequently made that the elections were all about getting rid of Superintendent Jim McIntyre, and now that he has left office, there is nothing left for teachers to organize around. Wrong. Dead Wrong. Flipping school board seats was never about a person, but an ideology. People still holding that ideology are just waiting to take those seats back and do what they can to mandate top down management, push out experienced educators, and support charters, vouchers, inappropriate testing, and any other program that will suck public dollars out of our schools. Knoxville is the last urban holdout for a slew of charter schools, and if we think the dark money put into Nashville school board races this year won’t come for us, we are sorely mistaken. Test scores are not what earn the true bragging rights of a good school system. Scores are some of the easiest statistics to manipulate. Why has no one questioned our former superintendent’s unwillingness to come to the defense of Bearden High School when test scores dropped? I’ll answer that one. If you question the validity of low scores that may be an embarrassment to the system, you must also question the validity of high scores on which you hang your hat. A flawed system is a flawed system, no matter which end of the scale you expose. Saying our school system is headed in the right direction simply because test scores and graduation rates are up shows either benign ignorance or a willful refusal to look beneath the surface. Also, I am bothered by the continuing erroneous belief that our former superintendent’s problems with teachers were an unfortunate result of state mandates.

Well ... that may be true ... unless you remember that he testified to Congress about how great he thought all these new reform policies would be. He refused to align with other superintendents across the state who attempted to push back on some of the “test scores at all costsâ€? and other illconceived reforms, again voicing his support instead. He actually increased the difficulty level for some of the state guidelines for the new evaluation system, a move that was undone by the outcries of teachers. Additionally, I am frustrated with the negative spin in the soundbite that the upcoming BOE sessions will look like a teachers’ union meeting. To that I say, “Why shouldn’t they?â€? Nobody complained when only one former educator was on the board helping to set educational policy for our county. Why is an “unbalancedâ€? board an issue now? Educators who are deeply involved in their union are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable in their field. They don’t just do their job and go home. They spend their “spareâ€? time researching educational issues across the country and advocating for their students. This leads to my final point. I want the media to understand that “teacher issuesâ€? are student issues. At what point did things that are good for teachers became unequivocally bad for students? Meat and potatoes issues that teachers care about ‌ class size, plan time, discipline, turnover, professional development, toxic testing, under staffing, inadequate funding, etc. all have a direct impact on the success and well-being of our students. Parents and community members are starting to understand the issues. That is why the school board is vastly different than it was three years ago. Are the teachers passionate and organized? Yes. They did what they were born to do. They educated and inspired others, getting parents and other community members to vote with them. The school board elections turned out as they did because the public is starting to listen and then ask the right questions of the people who actually live education every day. It’s time for the talking heads to catch up. Lauren Hopson is president of the Knox County Education Association. The full post is online at speaktn.com

Staples to Dems: ‘They’re coming after us’ A couple of points about Rick Staples getting the nod to replace ousted incumbent Joe Armstrong on the ballot in the 15th state House race: ■The entire Knox County Democratic Party can’t fit into a phone booth (even if they could find a phone booth nowadays). Fifty people crammed into a very small room to witness the vote for Armstrong’s replacement. A couple dozen more were denied entry by the cop at the door. ■Staples is no longer the Charlie Brown of East Knoxville politics. ■And here’s a bonus point: With Staples headed to Nashville and Evelyn Gill taking the District 1 County Commission seat, the coalition known as the Five Points Five that has long controlled the political establishment in Knoxville’s black community has suffered a serious blow (for now, at least). Eleven of the 15 Knox County Democratic Party officers eligible to vote went for Staples. Two women who’d expressed interest in the seat, Jackie Clay and Armstrong’s wife, Letonia Armstrong, withdrew their names and were

Betty Bean not nominated. Each candidate was given a couple of minutes for a campaign pitch, and Staples, who previously lost a race for City Council’s fourth district and this summer’s commission race against Gill in the Democratic Primary (which most observers expected him to win), hammered home a change message, challenging the audience to drive down Magnolia Avenue and take a look around: “What is my experience? I’m there. And I do it because I can. I’m about this community. I got the legs. I got the youthfulness and I’ve also got my mother.� Cleola Staples, who owned and operated a preschool on Holston Drive was sitting in the audience next to former Commissioner Diane Jordan. He issued a warning that the party needs to unify, reminding the audience that Armstrong was the last Democrat left in the Knox County

Diane Jordan, Rick Staples and Cleola Staples legislative delegation. “They’re coming after us, and we have to keep this seat – not just for this year, but for the future.� Presumably Staples is thinking about 2018, since the GOP didn’t bother to field a candidate in this year’s 15th district race – a curious omission for the Red to the Roots bunch, given the timing of Armstrong’s tax evasion trial – and it is unlikely that Independent candidate Pete Drew, who has run for more offices than anyone can count since Armstrong took the seat from him in 1988 after he switched from

Democrat to Republican, will pose much of a threat in November. It’s also unlikely that Staples’ change in status made much difference in Staples’ weekend plans – planning for an interest meeting of the 100 Black Men of Knoxville and young men whom they will mentor over the coming year, working on a September chess tournament for young people. “I didn’t realize how busy I am until recently when I overbooked myself one day,� Staples said. “I have to be the busiest person in Knoxville that doesn’t have a title.�

Hart’s departure could bring back Lady Vols With Dave Hart’s retirement, which will be greeted with applause by Lady Vols fans, it is time to restore the name as a lasting tribute to Pat Summitt. Hart’s contract amendment will give him a buyout of over $600,000; the public will want to know if he receives any other retirement benefits from the state or university. This column predicted Hart and Chancellor Jimmy Cheek retirements and we renew our prediction of a position for Madeline Rogero in a potential Hillary Clinton Administration, occurring in the summer of 2017. Rogero, a few months ago, downplayed it by saying she was not seeking a position. She has asked others not to promote it. Of course, saying you are not seeking a federal appointment is not a denial of a willingness to serve if offered. It is not even close. Rogero has not answered whether she would serve out her full term or decline a federal post if offered. Actually, it is a real compliment to the mayor that she is being mentioned as a Clinton appointee and an even greater honor if it is offered. It seems crystal clear that, if offered, she would quickly accept. Rogero likes public service. This would allow her to go to a level where she is already active with climate change and women’s issues. She

Victor Ashe

has traveled to China, Turkey and Los Angeles for the Obama Administration. It could trigger a pay raise of over $30,000 a year in most positions she might be offered. She will be 65 next year and will have only two years left in her final term as mayor. A federal post would give her four to eight years of additional employment and vesting in the federal pension system on top of the city pension she receives the day she leaves office. The four years could become eight if Clinton is re-elected, taking her to age 73. There is virtually no elective local or regional office she could win after mayor due to her liberal leanings. She leads the only Democratic enclave in East Tennessee and is term limited. What would be a position for Rogero? Certainly assistant secretary of labor or housing would be doable and logical. An assistant secretary of state for human rights or women’s issues would also be credible. She might have a U.S. Senate confirmed position or one free from the Senate confirmation process. Her key staff and several directors may hope she does

not depart before December 2019 as their jobs are not assured under a new or even interim mayor. ■City Council: Knoxville architect Randall DeFord is seen as a strong contender for Nick Pavlis’ seat. DeFord is active in Fort Sanders historical preservation efforts. Former council member Joe Hultquist may run. Stanton Webster, a Fort Sanders resident, is another possibility. Nick Della Volpe is termlimited in District 4. Lauren Rider is clearly running and longtime neighborhood activist Jeff Talman is giving it consideration. David Williams, who ran against Finbarr Saunders, is running for the Duane Grieve seat. Also mentioned are Terry Faulkner, Bearden activist; Sandi Robinson, West Hills sidewalk advocate; Wayne Christensen, former director of Knox Youth Sports; Doug Veum, retired; and Marleen Davis, who ran strongly but unsuccessfully for County Commission two weeks ago. Veum, Davis and Christensen all live in Sequoyah Hills. James Corcoran is mentioned for the Brenda Palmer seat, along with former council member Steve Hall, who has lost his last two races for state representative. Hall still has $10,000 left over from his losing legislative races. County Commissioner Sam McKenzie is mentioned

for the Daniel Brown seat. ■Bob Thomas, announced candidate for Knox County mayor in 2018, has raised over $95,000 but $50,000 is a loan from Thomas himself. The GOP candidate also received generous donations from two well-known Democrats, former U.S. Senate candidate Gordon Ball, $500; and Farragut developer Doug Horne, $500. Former 911 director Bob Coker gave $200. ■State Rep. Martin Daniel was congratulated election night by a joint call from House Speaker Beth Harwell and Gov. Bill Haslam. Several Haslam friends in Knoxville had financially supported Daniel’s opponent, Steve Hall, this summer while Harwell’s PAC had donated $1,500 to Daniel as did ECD Commissioner Randy Boyd who is from Knoxville. Daniel, along with state Reps. Jason Zachary and Roger Kane, face Democratic opponents in November. However, the marquee contest will be the Gloria Johnson-Eddie Smith rematch on Nov. 8. It will be hard-fought and close as it was in 2014. The composition of the district is almost even between the two parties. Trump leading the GOP ticket may harm Smith. Rogero will help Johnson and Haslam will help Smith, who chairs the Knox delegation.

Opening-game memories Excitement is peaking. The lid may blow off the pressure cooker at any time. The opening game is almost here. Alarmists say don’t take Appalachian State for granted. I say the Mountaineers have a problem, a very serious problem. This Tennessee team is poised to make memories. I’ve collected a few from opening games over fourfifths of an exciting lifetime watching football Volunteers. Some memories are better than others. Perhaps you recall ‌ 1950: Cousin Ray Byrd, reserve fullback, told me the Vols were going to be good. I went to the opening game because of a complimentary ticket. I was 16. I didn’t

As if his life depended on it, Peanut ran down the bandit and made the tackle at the 3. “The thought flashed through my mind that if I didn’t catch him, that might be my last play as quarterback at the University of Tennessee.� The Vols squeezed that threat down to a field goal and won in a romp, 34-3. 1976: A guy you never heard of, Vince Fusco, kicked three extra points for Duke, and the Blue Devils won, 21-18, because Tennessee failed three times at conversions.

thin as a fishing line, was virtually invisible for two years behind quarterback Alan Cockrell. Tony’s combined stats were six for 15 passing and 12 runs for minus six yards. Tony moped. Tony fretted. Tony went home once, considered going again and asked about getting his old job back at a hardware store in Tallahassee. Quarterback coach Walt Harris said Tony just didn’t have his heart in being second-team. When Cockrell got out of the way (he went pro in baseball), Robinson blossomed. In his first game at the controls, the opener against Washington State, he completed 13 of 16 and suddenly became the best quarterback nobody had heard of. 1998: Jeff Hall’s field goal won the Syracuse game at the final horn in the Car-

Tee Martin (nine for 26) fell far short of spectacular as Peyton Manning’s replacement but did run better. Syracuse took the lead late and probably thought it had won when Tee threw incomplete on what appeared to be the final fourth down. Not so. The home team was flagged for pass interference. The official got it right. The defensive back hit the receiver a fraction of a second early, but you can’t count on such precise officiating on the road. As you may have heard, Tennessee took full advantage of that reprieve. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

A teacher of children “… and if you are sure that you are a … teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth, you, then, that teach others, will you not teach yourself?” (Romans 2: 19, 20-21 NRSV)

Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s at the Y By Jake Mabe You want to hear an inspirational story? Found one at the Y. The Rev. L.B. Harrell’s wife tipped us on it. You may remember L.B. either for his preaching or his longtime presence at Midway Barber Shop in Halls. Every Tuesday and Friday at 12:30 p.m. for about a year, Harrell, Tom Kearney, Harry Shehan and Bill Warden, under the watchful eye of trainer Cindy Solomon, pedal for Parkinson ’s disease. And, oh, has it helped. The Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s mission is to improve quality of life for Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers, support treatment research, and educate caregivers, the public, and

most importantly the patients themselves about the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle. It’s part of the Y’s gentle faith-based philosophy on living well. “So many people will not come out and do this,” Shehan said. “You can’t sit and wait for it to go away.” Kearney has noticed marked improvement in his gait. “You get on a (stationary) bike and maintain a rhythm. It helps, because the body does not produce enough dopamine to adjust. Just doing the exercise is working. It’s definitely worth putting the time into (doing).” Each has different symptoms, and each has a different type of Parkinson’s. Each sets goals of speed, time and

School buses are rolling again. I grew up among teachers: at home, school, church, in the community. I majored in music education and taught a few years before moving on to other forms of ministry. Along the way, I discovered there were different kinds of teachers. There were those who taught rules, those who taught content of books and those who taught children. I wanted to be one who taught children – and later, adults. As a school year begins, I think about classrooms, teachers, support staff and students. I hope that every person who works in a school cares about kids! I remember the custodians at my school. They were as much a part of the staff as the principal. They took care of us.

any job is important and should be done well and thoroughly. They cleaned up when we made messes and, to my knowledge, never complained. I remember teachers – the ones who cared, went the extra mile, kept us interested and challenged, and helped us grow up. One of my most poignant memories is seeing a miracle. There was a boy in school who had physical challenges. He struggled to carry his lunch tray, and sometimes he dropped it. One day, Mother was in the cafeteria when he came through the line. She showed him a way to hold his tray and carry it to his table successfully. As long as she lived, my mother remembered his turning around and beaming a smile at her – because she had taught him a lesson in competence.

The dog ate my homework? By Kip Oswald Well, maybe not! That’s a great excuse for not having my homework ‌ except I don’t have a dog! I really didn’t get my homework done because the Oswalds, Kip Oswald like most families, are always going to some activity after school, so we just don’t get home in time to do hours of homework at night. So, why do we have two or three hours of homework after we have spent seven hours at school doing the same work? As usual, sister Kinzy put on her research hat to find out the history of homework and what homework policies around the country and the world look like. First, she found that our family wasn’t alone in struggling with time for homework. More than 80 percent of respondents in a today.com poll complained about the amount of homework kids are assigned. Then Kinzy found several school districts that have completely stopped assigning homework based on studies done by many researchers including the Brookings Institution and the Rand Corporation. They found evidence that homework overload is the exception rather than the

norm, and in the past 20 years, this increase is associated with neutral and sometimes negative effects on student achievement. One study compared TIMSS math scores of students in over 40 countries with the amount of homework they reported completing each night. They found that many countries with the highest-scoring students, such as Japan, the Czech Republic and Denmark, had teachers who assigned little homework, while countries with low scores, such as Thailand, Greece and Iran, had teachers who assigned a great deal of homework. Also, Kinzy found that many school districts that assign homework follow a standard called the “10-minute rule,� created by Duke University psychology professor Harris Cooper. The rule, endorsed by the National PTA and the National Education Association, says kids should get 10 minutes of homework a night per grade. A first-grader would have 10 minutes of homework each night; a fifth-grader 50 minutes. What is your school’s policy and how does your family handle homework? Send comments to oswaldsworldtn@gmail.com. Joke of the Week: Teacher: Did your mother help you with your homework? Student: No, she did it all by herself.

YWCA honors area women

It’s time for the 2016 Tribute to Women, presented by YWCA K nox v i l le . Every year, the institution honors a select group of women in specific fields. There’s also Avice Reid a Lifetime Achievement Award, and on Sept. 15, it goes to a woman who does a lot of good in a field familiar to anyone who has read the news lately. Avice Evans Reid spent many years at TVA in information technology before coming to work for the city of Knoxville, where she’s been for the past nine years. She first served as executive director of Knoxville’s Police Advisory and Review Committee (PARC). Reid started out as a volunteer committee member for PARC while she was still at TVA, and when the existing executive director stepped down, she moved into a leadership position. During her years at PARC, she facilitated diversity training sessions for law enforcement recruits, educating the officers to “have a more open perception of people who are not like them,� says Reid. She brought in volunteers from various communities to interact with the recruits and

The 2016 Tribute to Women finalists gather at the downtown YWCA. Standing are Dottie Thompson, Andrea Rocha, Sharon Hannum, Diana Hun, Ola Blackmon-McBride, Nikitia Thompson, Susan Foard, Susan Dakak, Patricia Bible, Vrondelia Chandler and Suzanne Parete-Koon. Seated are Sylvia Peters, Julie Webb, Avice Evans Reid, Missy Kane Bemiller and Patricia Robledo. Not pictured are Heather Wallace, state Sen. Becky Massey, Maricarmen Malagon-Rogers, Barbara Blevins and Athena Sefat. The women will be honored at a banquet Sept. 15. Photo by Karlyn Brown

“have open dialogue in a non-threatening way.� She also educated community members on better ways to interact with law enforcement. Reid says, “Each of us woke up this morning with whatever experiences we’ve had.� Problems can often arise, she says, when people with one set of life experiences are expected to understand those with completely different backgrounds. Such problems escalate in tense situations. Now the senior director of community relations for the city of Knoxville, Reid still oversees PARC. Her efforts have been so successful that, for the past three

years, she’s served on the board of the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement. Her timely goal is “officers having more respect for citizens, and citizens having more respect for officers.� Others honorees are: Technology and Research and Innovation ■Diana Hun, research and development staff, Oak Ridge National Laboratory ■Suzanne PareteKoon, computational scientist and Titan user support specialist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory ■Andrea Rocha, postdoctoral research associate, Oak Ridge Associated Universities/Oak Ridge Nation-

Career Magnet students set to earn college credits and an associate degree when they graduate. What makes the program unique is that juniors in the program can walk upstairs from the high school campus and be in the PSCC lobby. The students will attend regular high school classes and then head upstairs during the middle of the school day for two college courses, ending the day back at CMA for seventh period. Dr. Mike North, campus dean for the Strawberry Plains PSCC, said, “I can’t say how thrilled I am to see the first group ‘come

By Ruth White Last week, Career Magnet Academy recognized students from the class of 2018 who have met the requisite benchmarks to begin taking dual enrollment courses at Pellissippi State Community College. This group will make significant progress toward an associate degree at PSCC while still in high school. Through the program, most students will need only an additional three to six courses to complete their degree, but some will earn their high school diploma

Getting to ‘come upstairs’ means successfully progressing to the next step in their program. That is something the teachers and administration in the Career Magnet Academy have been cultivating in them for the past two years – a desire to obtain the skills to enter college coursework and degree pursuit.� Out of the 82 juniors enrolled at CMA, 48 will work on the dual enrollment pro-

Clarence Brown launches new season By Sandra Clark

The curtain will rise Friday, Sept. 2 for opening night of “Violet,� the first of eight productions for 2016-17 at Clarence Brown Theatre. This season could be the best yet. “Violet� is filled with bluegrass, folk and gospel music in telling the story of a mountain girl scarred in a farm accident who takes a bus to Tulsa – via Johnson City, Kingsport, Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis – to be healed by an evangelical preacher. “Violet� runs through Sept. 18. Other plays ahead are “The Crucible,� by Arthur Miller; “This Is Our Youth,� a comedy about three wayward adolescents; “A Christmas Carol,� the Charles Dickens classic; “Outside Mullingar,� a romantic comedy set in Ireland; “The Busy Body,� a comedy; “Top Girls,� a contemporary feminist play about sacrifices in reaching the top; and “Around the World in 80 Days,� from the novel by Jules Verne. We’ll see plays for all people at a range of prices for all budgets: ■Pay what you wish nights make the plays affordable to all ■Open captioned performances include a text display of all words and sounds ■Deaf night at the theatre provides four live interpreters and a barrier-free experience ■Student matinees are scheduled during the school day at drastically reduced rates ■A day for community provides an evening of free theatre including a talkback for a targeted audience identified by the Urban League in order to engage the under-served ■Blue Star theatre offers discounts for military and veterans ■Family feast provides dinner and $10 tickets

â– Penny4Arts offers kids the opportunity to attend select performances for a penny when accompanied by an adult. In addition, Clarence Brown Theatre offers an “I want it all packageâ€? for $175 with discounts for UT faculty and staff, UT students and non-UT students. Preview nights for all eight plays are (Wednesday and Thursday before opening night) are $145. Single tickets are available. Ticket info: 865-974-5161 or online at clarencebrowntheatre.com The theatre is “like a teaching hospital‌ it is our labâ€? with training for actors as well as all those folks behind the stage in lighting, costumes, set design, marketing and directing, said David B. Byrd, managing director of CBT, who spoke recently to the North Knoxville Rotary Club at Litton’s. “Graduates leave UT with professional experience,â€? he said. UT has 80-100 undergraduates, up to 22 graduate students in design and 16 auditioned and invited students seeking a master’s in fine arts. Those MFA students will perform in the first play, “Violet,â€? a play that’s been a year in the making. UT leases six one-bedroom apartments in the Fort Sanders area to house visiting guest artists, Byrd said. “It’s really important that they enjoy their time in Knoxville, and they do.â€? Byrd said no two performances are the same because “the audience is a central component,â€? and performers adjust to the crowd’s engagement. “Theater is a collaborative art form.â€? Clarence Brown, a Knoxville native and 1910 UT graduate, and his wife, Marian, endowed the theatre – at the time, UT’s largest single endowment. It was built without a center aisle because Brown “hated to see people leaving during the performances.â€? It was dedicated in November 1970 as one of the nation’s finest performance venues.

Attracting new, younger members J. Fred Heitman’s job is his company, American Aquatics. He travels the country helping cities and counties with stormwater inspections. He is an expert when it comes to fish sampling studies. But his real job is Rotary. In this Rotary year of 201617, he serves as Governor of District 6780, the home district for Knoxville’s seven Rotary clubs and 58 other clubs in East Tennessee. Fred, who lives in Knoxville, is past president of The Rotary Club of Oak Heitman Ridge. He joined that club in 1998 when his company was located in Oak Ridge. Fred has managed to continue working fulltime and be a district governor, and that’s a neat trick. He’s changed the model and instead of visiting all 65 clubs, he’s had 16 cluster meetings with four or five clubs on average at each meeting. He’s also popping in unannounced, visiting clubs during their regular weekly meetings. “I like to sit and talk with who I call ‘table Rotarians,’â€? he said. “It’s been eye-opening to learn up close what great things our clubs and our Rotarians are doing in their communities.â€? He has 10 goals for his year. One major goal is for each club to do one community project per month. “I want us to do these projects in our communities and tell the communities what we are doing, on Facebook, social media or through other media,â€? he says. “We tend to hide Rotary’s bright light under a basket.â€? Another goal is for clubs to increase membership by 5 percent, especially recruiting younger members who will be the future of Rotary. “We have to attract young members going forward,â€? he says. “And that is starting to happen.â€? â–

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Justin Snow achieves his dream Thanks to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center Justin Snow celebrated his 40th birthday by finishing a marathon. While that in itself is a great story, it’s just one chapter for Snow, because he completed the marathon just a few years after having both hips replaced at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I’ve always believed in going big and living the dream,” Snow says with a grin. Snow has been active all his life, and has a passion for sports. After pitching for the baseball team at East Tennessee State University, he settled into the life of a family man, but never slowed down.

When Snow began training for his first full marathon attempt in 2011, the pain became so intense that he had to give up. “It got to the point where it was affecting my everyday life,” he says. Snow’s wife, Buffy, agrees. “We would go to UT games, and he would have to stop five or six times on the way to the stadium,” Buffy Snow says. “We’d go to the grocery store, and his hips would just burn, and he’d have to find a place to sit down.” “I’m on my feet a lot at work, and it got so bad I was having to sit down,” he says. His job requires travel, and getting in and out of a car was also painful.

He would “I said, ‘if you you’re going to do this, let’s be turning 40. knock ‘em both out at the same time,” says Recalling Dr. Edkin’s words, “You can Snow. walk as much as you want to,” Snow called So on Jan. 23, 2012, 35-year-old his wife and told her he was going to walk Justin Snow checked in to Fort Sanders 26.2 miles in the full marathon on his Regional Medical Center for bilateral hip birthday. replacement, to be performed by Dr. Edkin. “I was a little hesitant, but I knew there “He talked to me about the whole wasn’t much I could say to talk him out procedure and the process,” Snow says. “He of it,” his wife says. “If his hips started made me feel comfortable.” bothering him, he was going to stop, but After a successful surgery, Snow had they never did bother him.” four days of inpatient therapy at Patricia Snow went to the Knoxville Track Club

because Snow is not a typical person. He’s younger than the average joint replacement patient, he was in excellent health and very active going into the procedure, and happens to be a very driven individual. But it’s the ultimate proof of how far joint replacement has come, and how far patients can go after surgery. The Joint Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is a model program of excellence, designed exclusively for care of the hip or knee joint replacement patient. Teams of experienced orthopedic surgeons, nurses, clinicians and therapists work together to stay on top of the latest technological advances and minimally invasive surgical techniques to provide better care for patients. There is an emphasis on education to prepare patients for recovery, and strong family involvement. Patients get on the road to recovery at a faster rate, and with fewer complications. Snow’s greatest testimony is that he doesn’t think about his hipsanymore. They’re a wellfunctioning part of his body, no longer requiring special attention. Justin Snow enjoyed support “Most patients return to a from his family along the way normal level of activity,” Dr. Edkin as he ran the 2016 Covenant says. “Although we usually recommend Health Knoxville Marathon. avoidance of impact loading activities, such as running or jogging, in order to protect the manmade surfaces from repeated increased force over time.” website for a training plan, he began Snow points out that he followed taking a couple of 45-minute walks during the week, and a long distance walk the doctor’s orders, walking the entire on the weekends. His first long walk was five marathon, and he doesn’t recommend that every joint patient do what he did, but he miles, free of pain. Race day came, and Justin Snow crossed does offer encouragement to anyone whose the 50-yard line in Neyland Stadium, daily life is affected by joint pain today. “If you think you might have a problem completing his first full marathon, and realizing a dream. His feet were blistered go see a surgeon, because you don’t have to and he was tired, but his hips were just feel that way,” Snow says. “Don’t be afraid fine.

Tips on how to avoid joint injuries Avoid doing too much, too soon. Never increase the length of your workouts by more than 10 percent from one week to the next, and never increase both the length and intensity of your workout at the same time. Maintain strength in the muscles surrounding the joint area. To strengthen the knees, do calf raises, lunges, squats and leg lifts.

Train smart by cross-training. Repetitive-motion injuries caused by doing just one sport or workout are some of the most common. You can prevent them by doing different sports or activities that work different muscles. Never skip your warm-up or cool down. Tight or stiff muscles around a joint will make the area more prone to injury.

Always use proper technique and body mechanics when playing sports involving repetitive motion, such as tennis and golf. Taking lessons from a certified coach or trainer every once in a while can help you learn and stick with proper form, which can reduce your injury risk substantially. Keep in shape. A high cardiovascular fitness level is crucial to avoid joint injuries. Otherwise, as you tire your form can fail and your joints carry unbalanced weight. Be sure to wear proper shoes that provide adequate support during exercise.
