Look twice

and look out! Brush overgrowth has created a blind spot at the east (lower) exit onto Emory Road from the Halls Branch Library. Motorists complained that one has to ease out into traffic in order to make sure the coast is clear to turn left toward the Emory Road/Maynardville Highway intersection. Knox County director of engineering and public works Dwight Van de Vate said last week that his department is checking to see which agency is responsible for trimming (Emory Road is a state highway) and will make sure the issue is addressed.

Miracle Maker

Several things about Janice Cook seem unusual for the principal of the Knoxville Adaptive Education Center. 1) She started her career in education as a music teacher. 2) She’s very funny. 3) She’s from Scotland. The unexpected elements conspire to make Cook the perfect fit for this special Knox County school. For starters, she understands what the students need.

Halls B&P forms Breakfast Club By Jake Mabe Hey, Halls, get up, grab breakfast and get to know your business owners. The Halls Business and Professional Association is launching a monthly business breakfast series called, naturally, The Halls Breakfast Club. B&P vice president Bob Crye, who is chairing this committee, says it’s all about forming relationships. “I talked to two friends of mine, Mike Arms and Mike Cohen,” Crye said. “Mike Arms suggested that since we don’t have a (Halls) Chamber (of Commerce) that we have host businesses open at 7:30 one morning and provide coffee and doughnuts or

something as a way for business owners to get together. It’s gotten a good reception when it’s been tried (elsewhere).” The first breakfast is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, at Kaleidoscope Gifts, a women’s gift shop owned by Kelly Riggs, located in Halls Crossing, the shopping center behind Taco Bell, at 6834 MayKelly Riggs nardville Hwy. “It’s just a way for business owners to meet and also drum up a little business. We think it will be an exciting time and help

businesses, which in turn will bring more business to the community, which is desperately needed.” She says her store, which she describes as a classy boutique, has evolved since its October 2010 opening to include everything from high-dollar leather handbags to vintage furniture, jewelry, signs, wreaths and clothing, to name a few items. For more info, call Kaleidoscope Gifts at 9224600. Crye says that only B&P members may host a breakfast. But, anyone can attend. The Halls B&P meets at noon each third Tuesday at Beaver Brook Country Club. Lunch is $10. Info: Shannon Carey, 922-4136.

Excitement builds for Baptist reunion By Betsy Pickle Family reunions are a familiar concept. So are reunions marking the anniversary of an event, like a high school graduation. Among former employees of Baptist Hospital of East Tennessee, “family” is how they see themselves. And 2013 is definitely a milestone – the fifth anniversary of the closing of the venerable hospital on Blount Avenue. So … it’s party time! Former Baptist employees have been meeting since June to plan a reunion, which will take place 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, at Tennova South Ambulatory Care Center, 7323 Chapman Highway. The organizing meetings have been like mini-reunions for the committee, with memories and laughter flowing along with ideas. At a recent meeting at Broadway Baptist Church, chair Patsy Boling wowed her friends with her initiative. Knocking off agenda

items one by one, Boling would invite reports from those who’d been working on the assignment, then mention something she’d done to help research options. Sometimes, her colleagues had to rein her in. “What about Darden two-way radios?” asked Boling. “It’s a big place.” “We can use cellphones,” responded Lisa Stearns. As the event grows closer – along with the Thursday, Sept. 12, deadline for registration at http:// bhetreunion.eventbrite.com – the group is meeting more often and making final decisions on things like sheet cakes vs. cupcakes, cloth vs. plastic tablecloths and T-shirts vs. other types of souvenirs. It’s crunch time, and they know it, but they’re determined to put together

improve the Halls business community.” Riggs says she is honored to participate in the first business breakfast. “I believe it’s not only a very unique business to the Halls community, but to all of Knoxville and I want to open my doors to Knoxville to show that Halls does have it.

the best reunion possible for their “family.” The event is free for former employees, physicians and auxiliary and board members (plus a guest). The committee held a fundraising drive to cover the costs – which didn’t include things like printed invitations. “I’ve had people ask me, ‘When am I going to get an invitation?’” Joyce Porritt shared. Her reply: “It’s called Facebook.” At press time, they already had reservations for 600-plus, about two-thirds of capacity. They’ve distributed fliers. Boling and Cynthia Campbell reported a scheduled TV appearance. Glenda Darden of Halls started nursing school at Baptist in 1958 and after graduating worked there for 40 years. “I retired seven years before it closed,” said Darden. “These 12 years I’ve been waiting for this reunion.”

The group credits physician David Rankin, who chaired the board when Baptist closed, for coming up with the reunion idea, but he says his contribution was encouraging the right people to lead. “Patsy and Glenda are patients of mine,” says Rankin, who now is affiliated with the University of Tennessee Medical Center. “Usually when people from Baptist come in to the office we talk about Baptist and how it’s family. Patsy and I were talking, and she told me it’s been five years (since the hospital closed). “And I said, ‘Five years? We ought to have a reunion!’ We started talking about it. I said, ‘Patsy, you need to be head of this.’ She said, ‘Oh, head of what?’ “And then Ms. Darden came in the next week, and I said, ‘You and Patsy need to talk about this.’ So it went from there.” To page A-3

Arts directors connect The h neighboring i hb i arts centers of the Union County Arts Cooperative and the Fountain City Art Center have energetic, dedicated directors. Each is challenged to maintain and advance her center in a competitive environment.

Libby Morgan

Fountain City’s executive director Sylvia Williams, along with her board, volunteers and artists, has persevered for more than 10 years, growing the center, raising funds, promoting classes and events, and working tirelessly. Union County Arts Coop director Susan Boone, in comparison, is just getting started. The UCAC is just over a year old. And, until last week, the two had never met. “I worked my first year without a paycheck, too,” said Williams, when Boone disclosed she has worked without compensation since the inception of the co-op. Williams and Boone, with Neva Kitts stopping by, discussed common challenges and opportunities over lunch, surrounded by art created by Union Countians in the Maynardville shop. Strategies to realize a successful center in Union County include making it more of a true cooperative, requiring artists to become more responsible for time spent clerking and maintaining the building and grounds; and the possibility of creating a dues structure.

d Williams ill lli d i Boone and discussed events to draw more people in, and fundraising. FCAC holds an annual garden party, greatly enhanced by local arts supporters Ginger and Bill Baxter, on their estate in Fountain City. There is also an annual tea, a mystery dinner and a holiday party. Art-A-Palooza is coming up Sept. 19-21, a sale of art and artwork-related items, food, activities and live music. Classes and workshops are ongoing at FCAC. The Fountain City Art Guild has been a driving force for promoting the arts in the area for many years, and was pivotal to the formation of the arts center. Williams took her time to view the items on display at UCAC, and recognized many of the artists. “I was very impressed by the wide variety of artwork and craftwork on display at the Union County Arts Cooperative,” she said. “The co-op is another example of all the talent and interest in the arts that we have in East Tennessee. “We all need to keep encouraging each other; we should share ideas about what works and what doesn’t work. In my opinion, the more art-related displays, sales, events, and opportunities for artists, the better!” UCAC has had a much shorter history, and a much shorter list of supporters than FCAC, but the shop contains hundreds of examples of beautiful art. “We do really well on the days there’s something going on in Maynardville, like Art on Main and the Heritage Festival, but that’s very seldom. Those days carry us for a month or two,

then we’re so broke again we can’t pay the utility bill to heat and cool this old house,” said Boone. “Some days I’ll have only one or two customers come in.” The arts co-op is on Main Street a few doors up from the courthouse in the historic Dr. Carr home, a frame house built around 1900, lacking insulation and weather-tight windows. But without a doubt the place has character. The homeyness is apparent from the street, with front porch chairs and blooming plants welcoming visitors. Inside, the house retains the original rooms, albeit stuffed with attractive art of all kinds in every inch of space available. Every Thursday morning at UCAC, Clay Worthley can dependably be found, many times with various other musicians, in a jam session. “Clay’s support of the arts co-op is incredible. When he’s here it really livens up the place, and visitors are pleased to see and hear him,” says Boone. “A couple came in recently and danced on the porch to his music.” “I try to match the mu-

sic I play to the people who come in,” says Worthley. “I play just about any genre. I’m just here to help promote the arts co-op.” Boone and Williams expressed appreciation for the other: “The most impressive

part of the Union County Arts Co-op is, beyond a doubt, Susan Boone. She is there every day Tuesday through Saturday – a real labor of love. Her enthusiasm for the artwork and the co-op is evident. “Every successful enter-

Art-a-Palooza: In the Heart of Fountain City

A message from Sylvia Williams: All arts and crafts people are encouraged to contact the Fountain City Art Center to reserve a booth space to sell their original artwork and to perform demonstrations of their skills during Art-a-Palooza, Sept. 19 - 21, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Outdoor booth spaces are $25 a day. Claim a space for all three days or just for Saturday. The Center has one

or two spaces left inside at $40 a day, but artists must reserve and use the space for all three days. For more details and an application, please contact the Center: 357-2787; fcartcenter@knology.net; www. fou nt ai ncit ya r tct r.com ; 213 Hotel Avenue 37918 next to Fountain City Park. Hours are: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays; (and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. most nonevent Saturdays, but call first to see if a volunteer is on duty.) Like us on Facebook, too.

prise must have at least one strong leader taking care of the day-to-day business, and Susan is that person. “We at the Fountain City Art Center salute Susan and the co-op artists. We wish them continued and growing success!” Boone responded: “I appreciate Sylvia taking time to come to the shop, sharing her huge wealth of knowledge on running an art gallery, and I hope we can work together to promote the arts in our area.” As a witness to their meeting, I will attest these two have already begun to work together.

Art-a-Palooza is the Fountain City Art Center’s fall fundraiser, now in its ninth year. Artists will be on site doing demonstrations all three days. Original paintings, easels, frames, art supplies, prints, pottery, jewelry, glassware and decorative items will be on sale for bargain prices, along with a few small household items, all donated by center members and area artists. Home baked goods will be on sale all three days. Family Day is 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, with interactive art activities booths for all ages. Family passes good for all activities are $20 and individual passes are $10. Several musical groups will be playing on the grounds 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., including Phil Weaver, the Dulcimer Guys (Tim Simek and Mark Edelman), the Black Oak Ridge Boys, and Phil Campbell with his beloved stories appearing with Papa Clay Worthley. For sale will be pork barbecue sandwiches prepared by Christine S. Harness just for Art-a-Palooza, grilled bratwursts, Creamery Park Grille ice cream and homemade desserts. Family, fun with art, food and music: how could you go wrong?

‘Poetry That Embraces Life’ Ted Farcasin fired off a good joke last week when I asked how to pronounce his last name.

Ted Farcasin will read poems from his collection, “Poetry That Embraces Life,” at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, at the Halls Senior Center.

MY TWO CENTS “Far-KAY-sin,” he said, adding that “there’s a little sin in it.” But Ted is a thoughtful type. He writes inspired sonnets. “You can call it Godly inspiration, or I may be inspired by a conversation or a particular event.” He’s hiked his share of mountains in the Canadian Rockies, but says that doesn’t inspire his poetry. “For a while it’s beautiful then you start thinking, ‘How am I going to get down?’” His sonnets offer solace on several subjects – work, love, joy, peace, jazz, chairs, meanness, forgiveness. “Everybody can relate because they have encountered issues that are in this book.”

Ted will read from his collection, “Poetry That Embraces Life,” 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, at the Halls Senior Center. “Sonnets have a distinct pattern and usually a distinct theme. I try to have a line that will lift readers heavenly, give ’em some hope. I hope the reading is going to be great and would love to see some people show up.” Born in Detroit, Ted has lived all around the world, including two stints in Knoxville. He moved back to East Tennessee a little more than a year ago from West Texas. “My youngest son was at

UT and was a member of the band. He called up and said, ‘Dad, why don’t you come on back to Knoxville?’” Ted has been a varsity tennis coach (one of his players was in the winner’s circle at Wimbledon), taught at universities (including ones in Russia and China) and worked in show business. “I’m a perpetual job changer. Which is strange because I always wanted to be a plumber, something ‘normal.’” “Poetry That Embraces Life” is also available online through Barnes and Noble.

Boling

Boling graduated from nursing school at Baptist in May 1973 and immediately went to work in orthopedics. She went on to spend 22 years in ICU, then moved to the nursing office in 1997 and stayed until it closed in 2008. “I was one of the last people to leave, actually, in the inpatient nursing area, and then we went to St. Mary’s,” said Boling, who’s now retired. She’s serious about being part of the Baptist family. “I felt like I grew up there,” she said. “Being in nursing school there and having all my friends and meeting head nurses and doctors at that time and then working as a nurse, it just really felt like a family. And I can say that I haven’t felt that at any other place that I worked. It’s been great.” To register offline, call 335-5275 or 218-7535 and leave your name, number and address by Sept. 12.

government Rogero names Vogel to airport authority Mayor Madeline Rogero has reappointed Howard Vogel to the Airport Authority. Vogel, the chair, was first appointed by thenMayor Bill Haslam.

Victor Ashe

Vogel, an attorney, is brother-in-law of state Sen. Becky Duncan Massey. He has been an active and effective chair following attorneys Arthur Seymour and Dick Krieg along with business owner Kirk Huddleston, who all served as chair over the past 20 years. Rogero has also appointed Marva Martin to succeed Sam Anderson, former city parks director, to the city civil service board. Anderson was removed due to residency issues. Rogero does not routinely announce appointments to boards and commissions, so your writer will mention them when the situation or person merits comment. Martin, who turns 70 in December, is very energetic and active. She will not back down on a subject because someone disagrees. She led enforcement of Title VI in the city for seven years (five of them while this writer was mayor). Also appointed was former FOP president Ed Mitchell to replace Don Green, a retired police officer, also removed for residency issues. Sometimes city council votes on the appointments and sometimes not. Council does vote on the appointments to civil service board and the airport authority.

Starting out hopeful The best line of the past week came from Ann Dyer, the new finance director in Union County. Asked why the medical cost for inmates continues to exceed its budget, Dyer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always start out hopeful.â&#x20AC;?

Sandra Clark

That line sums up the relationship between Knox County Commission and the Knox County Board of Education as each group starts anew with fresh leadership. Brad Anders got the job he should have had last year when Tony Norman came out of nowhere to be elected commission chair. Anders, in this writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, was being punished for considering the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget request. He never voted for it. He never made a motion to adopt it.

He just considered it and therefore he was suspect. Norman, an otherwise kind and gentle soul, made no bones about his dislike of Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre and his disdain for the proposed budget which could have required a property tax increase. Voting for Norman were R. Larry Smith, Jeff Ownby, Dave Wright, Amy Broyles and Sam McKenzie. Much of the same crew voted Sept. 3 for Smith to succeed Norman, but Broyles and McKenzie switched to Anders who won 6-4. (Richard Briggs, an Anders vote last year, was absent for a medical mission.) Smith was retained as vice chair. The school board succession was much more orderly. Vice chair Lynne Fugate moved up to replace Karen Carson. Gloria Deathridge moved in as vice chair. Bottom line: Brad Anders is gruffer on the surface than is Norman, but he will be a calmer, less volatile chair. Fugate has potential to be more abrasive than Carson, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to

Della Volpe gives humor nod to FOP By Sandra Clark When Nick Della Volpe got a candidate questionnaire from the Fraternal Order of Police, he almost swallowed his teeth. He quick ly penned a response to FOP president Mark Taylor: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appr e c i ate your sense of humor in sending Staples the letter. ... Your offer arrived a bit late for its stated purpose, however, as the FOP has already littered the roadsides with

anti-Della Volpe signs.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sure bet that the FOP will be endorsing Rick Staples, an employee of the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and probable member of the organization. The FOP leadership is after Della Volpe because of his problems with the current pension system. Della Volpe says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best friend the FOP ever had, because he is working for a sustainable pension over time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension plan, which has a roughly $200 million deficit, leaves your members at risk,â&#x20AC;? he told Taylor. Della Volpe says the hybrid plan for new work-

ers, supported by Mayor Madeline Rogero and adopted by voters, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good start (at reform), but is â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a drop in a very big bucket.â&#x20AC;? Never one to simply say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry if I offended you,â&#x20AC;? Della Volpe added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked at the numbers lately, city taxpayDella Volpe ers are putting in four or five times more than city workers ($20M vs. $3.8M per year) into the pension plan.â&#x20AC;?

He rolled on to a second page: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want to end up like the guys in Pritchard, Ala., where the bankrupt city just stopped sending out the retirement checks when their pension system and the city coffers ran dry? Farfetched? Over a dozen cities around the country have filed for bankruptcy because of overwhelming debt, including heavy pension debt. It is no time to stick oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head in the sand.

Longstreet’s long battle

Gen. James Longstreet (1821-1904). In 1896, Longstreet published his autobiography, “From Manassas to Appomattox,” one of the finest memoirs written by a member of the Confederate high command. Photo courtesy of the Library of Congress

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin This is the second part of a monthly series on the Civil War and the Knoxville Campaign in salute of the Civil War sesquicentennial. The year 1862 was devastating for Gen. James Longstreet in both his personal and his military life. James and wife Louise had previously lost two children. In January the general was called to Richmond, where his four remaining children were grievously ill with scarlet fever that was raging through the city. One-year-old Mary Anne died on Jan. 25 and four-year-old James passed the next day. Six-year-old Gus and 13-year-old Garland fought on then Gus succumbed on Feb. 1. Garland survived. The depth of sorrow of the parents had no limit. But duty called and Longstreet responded. The depth of the tragedy affected him deeply, though, and he turned more to the church and gave up gambling. Additionally, the physical and mental stress of six major battles had tested even Longstreet’s stamina that year. A misunderstanding of orders resulted in lateness to the field and a failure at Seven Pines on May 31, 1862. However, his courage and willingness to fight impressed Gen. Robert E. Lee during the Seven Days battles around Richmond (June 25-July 1, 1862). Because of this, Lee entrusted him with more than half of his infantry and, on Aug. 13, he was sent to aid Gen. T. J. “Stonewall” Jackson in pursuit of Union Gen. John Pope near Orange Court House. This maneuver marked the beginning of the Second Manassas Campaign and the Battle of Second Manassas (Aug. 29-30, 1862), where Longstreet led his 30,000 soldiers in a furious counterattack on the last day and the Union line crumbled. By Sep. 17, 1862, he was again involved in heavy action at Antietam. Lee recommended Longstreet for a promotion to lieutenant general on Oct. 11, 1862 and, by Dec. 13, his corps patrolled Marye’s Heights at the Battle of Fredericksburg.

There, Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s Grand Divisions under Gen. Edwin Sumner and Gen. Joseph Hooker were ordered to make seemingly suicidal frontal attacks. From the initial assault at daylight until dark descended, 11 attacks resulted in most of the 12,653 Federal casualties. This compared to 5,309 Confederate casualties (killed, wounded and missing). Burnside was almost overcome by grief, but ordered new attacks the next day. During the night his Grand Division commanders convinced him another attack would be futile. Both armies went into winter quarters. In early February 1863, along with Gen. George Pickett and Gen. John B. Hood, Longstreet was assigned to secure supplies for Lee’s hungry army in his first relatively independent command – the Suffolk Campaign. Suffolk was 17 miles from Portsmouth and about 100 miles southeast of Richmond. On April 11 he advanced on the 17,000 Federal troops bottled up in their eight strategically placed forts. He impressed every wheeled vehicle he could find and began the collection of foodstuff and other supplies. In two weeks he collected enough bacon and grain to feed Lee’s army and animals for approximately two months. When Union Gen. Joseph Hooker, now in command in Virginia, began crossing the Rappahannock south of Fredericksburg on April 29, Longstreet was ordered to rejoin Lee by moving north by foot and by rail with “all possible dispatch without incurring loss of train or unnecessary hazard of troops.” The Battle of Chancellorsville occurred 50 miles north of Richmond on May 1-4, 1863, while Longstreet was in transit. The commander of the other Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson – had been mortally wounded there. Longstreet reached Lee’s

headquarters on May 9 and conferred with Lee from May 11-13, during which time the summer campaign was planned. The basis of the disagreement in strategy that came to a head at Gettysburg in July began in this conference. On July 13, 1863, the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Lee ordered 11 brigades of veteran troops, spearheaded by three brigades of Longstreet’s Corps, one commanded by Gen. George Pickett, to make the assault on Cemetery Ridge. A mile-long line of Confederates (approximately 13,000) marched into the bore of the 118 Union cannon across a mile of open terrain. It was against Longstreet’s judgment. He had tried to persuade Lee to use a flanking movement instead, but to no avail. Longstreet’s brigades were decimated and Lee started the perilous march back to Virginia. Gen. William Rosecrans was in command of the Union troops approaching Chattanooga, a crucial railroad center. Gen. Robert E. Lee ordered Longstreet to join Gen. Braxton Bragg in its defense. Beginning on Sept. 9, 1863, in one of the

most dramatic troop movements of the War, Longstreet transferred five brigades from Virginia to Chattanooga by rail. By this time in the war it was impossible to use the more direct rail lines from Richmond to Bristol to Chattanooga, so he transported some 15,000 men from near Richmond, through Wilmington to Charlotte, to Atlanta, and finally to Chattanooga. It took nine days and involved 16 different interrupted railroad lines often with different gauges of rails and on open flat cars. He arrived in time to participate in the Battle of Chickamauga, in which his corps penetrated the Federal line at the Brotherton house in one of the most decisive actions of the war and made an important contribution to the defeat of Rosecrans (Sept. 19-20, 1863). After the Battle of Chickamauga, Gen. Braxton Bragg, commanding the Confederate forces around Chattanooga, felt that chasing Gen. Ambrose Burnside from Knoxville back to Kentucky would ease the pressure on him at Chattanooga. He dispatched an expeditionary force to Knoxville under Longstreet’s command, a total of 12,000 infantry troops and Gen. Joe Wheeler’s 5,000-member cavalry. Burnside had about 23,000 troops in East Tennessee, of which 14,000 were stationed at Knoxville. Two battle-scarred generals, Burnside and Longstreet, faced one another in the Knoxville Campaign. One can only imagine Longstreet’s fatigue and state of mind at this point in the war. His decisions during the impending Battle of Fort Sanders would reflect them. No doubt Burnside was tired too, but on this occasion he was to have the advantage of strong defensive positions. Author’s Note: Next month’s article will continue the story of the Campaign for Knoxville by providing biographical detail on Longstreet’s adversary, Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside.)

Hall of Fame finally admits Bernard King Eighteen old Vols are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Bernard King is the first former player in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Think about that – 18 to 1. Is Tennessee a football school or what?

Marvin West

Bernard was enshrined Sunday in Springfield, Mass. The honor was a long time coming. Ages ago the Ernie and Bernie Show packed Stokely Center. After that, it took years and years of repeated nominations to convince

selectors that the bestever Volunteer and former NBA great deserved a place among the immortals. There never was any question about basketball talent and accomplishments. The honors committee was undoubtedly waiting to see how King, 56, turned out as a man. The same might be said of former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian. He, too, made a few waves. In addition to BK and Tark, this class featured Louisville coach Rick Pitino and former Houston coach Guy Lewis. Sorry the hall took soooo long to recognize Bernard. Ray Mears and Stu Aberdeen would have really enjoyed the occasion. It was Stu, a New Yorker, who persuaded King to come from Brooklyn to

join fellow New Yorker Ernie Grunfeld for the best of times at Tennessee. It was Stu who stayed and stayed with the recruiting project when others thought King would not meet NCAA academic standards. Rivals believed that coffee stain on the high school transcript ledger covered a D. Stu, tenacious researcher, argued it was a B. Bernard many times tested Mears’ patience but the coach did deep-breathing exercises and learned to tolerate this unusual superstar. Only King would have brought a hamburger and fries to a pre-practice briefing. Such meetings were almost formal. Nobody would have dared stop the team bus, hop off and jog into a drug store for AA batteries. What

Old friends Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13:2 NRSV)

I first learned this verse when I was a very young child. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans had lost Robin, a Down syndrome child, when she was only two years old. Dale wrote a book about Robin’s short life, and titled it “Angel Unaware.” I asked my mother, who was reading the book to me and my brother, what that meant. She told me about this verse

from Hebrews. It was years before I learned the deeper meaning of it: that it was a reference to Abraham’s visitation from the angels (Genesis 18); and the wider meaning: that we are visited by angels in this life in the form of dear and beloved friends who bless us. Let me tell you about two angelic visitations I had just this week.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

I was shopping far from home over Labor Day weekend: in Durham, N.C., where I knew no one except the dear friends my husband and I were visiting. We were in a store that specializes in fabulous food, as well as ordinary groceries. I was walking toward the front of the store, when I realized that someone had stopped dead, right in my path. (I

was King to do? His music machine was dragging. Bernard King, he of fierce intensity, amazing quickness on turnaround jumpers, very aggressive board play, rare ability to slither through a tiny defensive crack in transition, was three times player of the year in the Southeastern Conference (1975–1977). He averaged 25.8 points and 13.2 rebounds and racked up a record 62 double-doubles in 76 career games. Twenty-six times he scored 30 or more. He played with pure passion and despised Kentucky twice that much. After King’s first appearance in Lexington, a taunting UK fan dropped a lighted cigarette into his hair. Bernard swore he would never again lose to the Wildcats. He didn’t.

The warrior had a softer side. He wrote poetry. I know that for a fact. He wouldn’t let me see but he read to Sarah West. King scored 19,655 points and averaged 22.5 in the NBA. He scored 60 one Christmas Day and had 50 in back-to-back games for the New York Knicks. He played in four all-star games. His greatest accomplishment was fighting back from a horrible knee injury at the peak of his career. There was a time when Mark Aguirre said “He was unstoppable. Also unbelievable.” Dominique Wilkins said Bernard was the only man he ever played against who caused fear. “He scared the hell out of me.” Knicks fans, late at night, after hard lemonades, will

tell you that Bernard, before the knee injury, was a better small forward than Larry Bird – and a greater scorer than Michael Jordan. Even if that sounds crazy, don’t laugh. King was really good. Bernard had a few minor problems at Tennessee and more serious ones as a pro. Thank goodness, all have been settled, forgiven or forgotten. For 30 years, he was estranged from UT. Bruce Pearl got him back. Bernard spoke to the team and the Tennessee Tipoff Club. He addressed a Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame dinner. He made sense and looked great in his doublebreasted suit. He adds value to the Hall of Fame.

had been rubbernecking to that point, astonished at the vast array of specialty, wonderful, exotic, fattening foods available.) I focused, then, on the smiling face in front of me and realized it was Linda, one of my volunteers from my days at Volunteer Ministry Center. She had been a special friend there, possessed of a good listening ear and a level head; she was someone whose advice and opinions I valued and sought. She was standing there waiting for recognition to dawn. When it did, I fell into her arms, and we laughed a lot and cried a little. “What are you doing here?” we asked each other, pretty much at the same time. It seems we were both visiting friends,

and that neither of us had ever been to Durham before. We were so astonished at the coincidence of our meeting that we could hardly get through introductions of her friends and my husband. Before she left the store, she came back to give me another hug, and tell me again that I had made an imprint on her heart. I was basking in the afterglow of that encounter, when I received an e-mail from the wife of one of my former pastors. Gordon and Mary were dear friends who shaped and formed me when I was a college student trying to figure out what I believed and why I believed it. They moved years ago to Joplin, Mo., and when the

horrible tornado hit there (was it last year or this?), almost obliterating the town, I could not locate them. Another good friend, also at the Volunteer Ministry Center, helped me search, with no luck. When I got home from my trip to Durham, still glowing from the angelic visitation from Linda, I got an e-mail from Mary, saying that she had found me online quite by chance, because they have a friend in their church named Lynn Pitts. “The Lord is good, all the time,” as the saying goes. However, as Carol, yet another of my VMC volunteers reminded me occasionally, “Sometimes He excels!” Angels unawares, indeed: one and all.

By Cindy Taylor On certain Saturdays throughout the year, Powell Presbyterian Church gathers food. Volunteers help feed those in need. Pastor Jonathan Warren said the last distribution day on Aug. 31 was the largest one yet. “I was worried that with a holiday weekend we might be low on volunteers but that didn’t happen,” he said. “We gave away 189 grocery carts filled with groceries to anyone who came and needed food. Warren said volunteers numbered 70-80, also the largest number of participants for this event. A tractor-trailer load of food was purchased from Second Harvest Food Bank. Volunteers arrived at 6:30 a.m. and distribution began at 7:30 a.m. But hungry people were forming a line around the parking lot of

Halls has seen a lot of new churches start up in the past few years. After only 12 short months, A Church Called Home has made an impact and they’re here to stay. The congregation celebrated its one-year anniversary Sept. 8 and has seen attendance almost triple in the first year. Pastor Jason Creech and wife Melissa say they are happy with the direction the church is heading, and members are constantly implementing community outreaches. “When we had our first Vision Gathering, we had six people, including myself and Melissa,” said Jason. “At our second meeting we had twice as many but seven of them realized they were at the wrong meeting and left. I realized that it had to get better from there.” The church has successfully launched more than 15 community ministries led by church members and listens to members who are interested in starting more new ministries. “Two things are important in a healthy church. We need to have a healthy relationship with Jesus and we need to discover our spiritual gifts to see how we are born to serve.” The couple have two children: Tori, 15, and Chaz, 13. The family is committed to the Halls and surrounding communities and approach church as a family model. The couple agree that when church is done right there is nothing that compares. “I will be sitting with my children on Sunday surrounded by people I didn’t know a year ago,” said Melissa. “And I feel so blessed.” On Sunday, Sept. 15, the church will begin a new series titled “Live like it’s 4th and Goal.” Studies will include living like it is the last day to win faith, family and finances. Tailgate parties will be a part of the fun. “There are so many good churches in the area,” said Jason. “You need to find where God is leading and plug in.” A Church Called Home meets at Halls Cinema 7, 3800 Neal Dr., at 10:45 a.m. each Sunday morning.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Helping troubled kids succeed By Betsy Pickle Several things about Janice Cook seem unusual for the principal of the Knoxville Adaptive Education Center. 1) She started her career in education as a music teacher. 2) She’s very funny. 3) She’s from Scotland. The unexpected elements conspire to make Cook the perfect fit for this special Knox County school. For starters, she understands what the students need. “Part of the skill of doing this job in this place – not just mine, but everybody’s – is you’re able to take these kids where they are,” says Cook. “I have a staff of people who get it. “They get the fact that we’re here to meet kids where they are, to give them the skills and to grow them academically. I always say (to students), ‘I love you, but I want you gone.’ That’s what we do. Our job is to give the kids the skills they need to function back in a regular classroom.” Around 300 students throughout Knox County have been certified as emotionally disturbed. The ones assigned to KAEC are those who aren’t able to deal with regular classrooms or even satellite classrooms with teachers trained to work with troubled children. “That doesn’t mean to say that they are low-functioning. Some of the students have the cognitive ability to do regular work, but at times their emotional difficulties stop them from being able to access the regular curriculum.” As with all the other schools in the county, KAEC is dealing with higher standards and more rigorous testing. “The kids really need to step up their game to be able to function in the world. That’s reality. That’s where we are at this point in education. We really need to be looking to help these kids get the skills that they need to be successful when they leave here.” KAEC has a “fluid population,” Cook says. At the beginning of the year, the school had around 80 students, but it could swell to more than 100. “As the school year progresses and the stress level increases, sometimes the kids get to a point where they can’t handle the pressure of regular ed or the satellite classroom. They just need a little more support.” One way Cook has found to support her students is to “change the culture” of the school. Now in her

Janice Cook (right), principal at the Knoxville Adaptive Education Center, gets some feedback from program facilitator Shari McDaniels. Photo by Betsy Pickle sixth year as principal, she decided early on that KAEC needed to feel more like a school. She realized “that before you could feel the change, maybe you had to be able to see the change.” She was able to brighten the walls of the former Bearden High School with new paint, and she engaged artist Gale Hinton – who has painted murals at several local schools and businesses in addition to private homes – to create a mural in the entranceway. The school made a to-do out of unveiling it. “We had a big move-thebus day like ‘Extreme Makeover,’” says Cook. “All the kids had watched the transformation. … We talked about changing, just the different expectations in terms of changing the culture for them. They were part of it, so they bought into that move-thebus day.” Other schools take pride in their nicknames, so KAEC got one, too – the Cougars. Cook reconfigured the high-school classroom setup to be more like regular high schools.

And for another change, she started making the graduation ceremony more formal, asking faculty members to wear their academic gowns. “When parents get to graduation … they are so appreciative. They really feel like we have partnered with them.” Cook took a circuitous route to KAEC. After studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, she landed a teaching job in Edinburgh. A chance visit to Knoxville during a U.S. vacation led to her husband, Robert, being offered a pastor position at West Emory Presbyterian Church. The couple moved here when she was pregnant with their first daughter, Rebecca. They intended to stay for five years, but they’ve now been in Knoxville for 24 years. Cook began working with emotionally disturbed children when she went to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital to offer her services using music as a therapeutic tool. Someone had just resigned, and she ended up with a job as a psych tech. “That was a wonderful experience. They hired people who had lots of skills, and they expected

you to learn. There was mandatory training. “From the psychologists that I worked with there, I discovered that I had this skill for working with emotionally disturbed kids.” Cook started a program at Children’s to help parents navigate their way through the murky waters of the mental-health system. She would condense test results to “parentfriendly language” and come up with a plan for the child. When the program lost its funding, she took six months off, in part to spend time with younger daughter Ruth. Her child soon urged her to go back to work. She got a job with Peninsula, working as the resource for schools to help with behavior problems. Later, she became a consultant for KAEC, and then, with an administration supervision degree from Lincoln Memorial University, she was appointed principal. Working at KAEC can be draining, but the faculty and staff have formed their own support system. “I always say we really are a family because we have to take care of each other,” Cook says. “I think I have the best job in the county.”

That makes a great team, win or lose. Halls won the first match, 25-16. If you haven’t seen a volleyball game recently, stop by Halls High and watch some good stuff. The team is hosting alum-

Taking a peek at Copper Ridge By Ruth White I had an opportunity to stop by Copper Ridge Elementary for a brief visit last week. I was quickly greeted by the new administrators: principal Kathy Castenir and assistant principal Kelly Keen. Castenir came from Blue Grass Elementary Castenir and Keen was a 5th grade teacher at Cedar Bluff Elementary. I think they will do a great job at this sweet little school. Keen attended Heritage High School and said that her heart skipped a beat when she saw the beautiful campus at Copper Ridge.

Both have used data to help them focus on school priorities and know that there is a need to focus on reading and math. The data will help them get to know Keen children on an individual basis and allow a more focused learning environment. A big strength at the school is the faculty and its high level of care and professionalism. Copper Ridge is a close-knit school and a family in every sense of the word. Mark your calendars for the first series of Grandparents Days at the school. The first one is Friday, Sept. 20. More information to follow.

munity college in North Carolina as well. “My teacher was a perfectionist,” she says. “I was taught: Don’t rush – your reputation is at stake. Even now, if I leave a hair out of place, I can’t sleep at night.” “I prefer to take my time in a grooming session. I can do a dog on a while-you-wait basis, though, if that’s what someone wants.” Le Caniche Rose is in the U-shaped clinic building that was built in the ’30s, which was brought back to life in the late ’90s to become, coincidentally, a grooming shop. Since then it has held several different businesses. “I love being across from the park,” Sanders says. The customer lounge area has a big window with a nice view across Broadway to the park, as does Sanders’ work area on the other end. In between are a reception area, a dog playroom and cages. “I’ll be hosting dog training and providing doggie day care, and I hope to add more groomers soon, whom I will train here.” Sanders has a solid history of community service in Knoxville, in addition to the work with Children’s Hospital. She will exhibit and walk with the PetSafe K9 Cancer Walk to benefit Morris Animal Foundation, which supports research to advance veterinary medicine. The event will be held Sunday, Sept. 22, at The Cove at Concord Park. She is forming a team for the walk, and offers a link to sign up on her team at Facebook/BellaLeCanicheRose. “La Caniche Rose also offers Pink Poodle Themed Birthday Parties,” she says, something she’s been doing since before opening the shop.

‘The Rabbit’s Got the Gun’

News from the Register of Deeds

Commercial transfers fuel market By Sherry Witt Several large commercial real estate transactions helped boost total property sales in Knox County to more than $250 million during Witt the month of August. There were 950 property transfers recorded in Knox County – about 60 fewer than those recorded in July, but more than 100 better than last August’s totals. The aggregate value of property sold even bested July’s output of $248 million. By comparison, in August of 2012 about $142 million worth of land was transferred. It was a banner month for mortgage lending as well with just over $403 million borrowed against real property in August. That easily topped the $349 million loaned in July, and also surpassed last August’s figures by about $80 million.

Pete DeBusk pens autobiography By Sandra Clark

The largest mortgage transaction was a $27.5 million loan financing a development known as Walker’s Crossing Properties. The commercial real estate market experienced something of a mini-boom in August. Among the more noteworthy transactions was a sale of property on Executive Park Drive to Bryn-Mawr Estates Partnership LLC for $18.75 million. Close behind was a parcel in Northshore Town Center Phase II, which sold for $17,769,231. The $251 million in property sales was the highest aggregate monthly total since October 2011 when the Mercy Health Systems facilities were sold to Tennova. On behalf of all of us at the Register of Deeds office, I would like to wish a happy birthday to Faye Smith, who turned 75 on Sept. 4. Faye was our office manager, and was with the Register of Deeds for 43 years before her retirement in 2006. We still miss her, and we wish her all the best.

Let’s do it for Will Steve and Jill Ridenour of J.S. Ridenour Construction and Ridenour Realty dedicated Will’s Village in 2008 with the goal of bringing quality retail and restaurant space to Halls. The village was built in memory of their son, Will, who lost his life in an automobile accident. AutoZone at 7421 Maynardville Highway is part of the village and Ridenour is ready for new businesses to move in.

Nancy Whitaker

Bryan Cook with Ridenour Realty envisions the center being filled with a restaurant, a medical or dental office, insurance or tax preparation office and a fun retail shop for clothing or general merchandise. He also feels a hair salon or barber shop would fit in perfectly with what Will’s Village has to offer. Spaces are from 1,200up to 8,000-square feet and rates are as low as $15 per square foot. Bryan can be reached at 938-5000.

It’s the book we’ve all been waiting for. “The Rabbit’s Got the Gun,” by Autry O.V. “Pete” DeBusk, has hit the stands. It’s a readable tale of the rise from stark poverty of one of Knox County’s richest residents. DeRoyal Industries is privately held, so records are sparse, but the photo pages show huge manufacturing facilities, each employing hundreds, in: ■ Powell ■ Maynardville ■ Tazewell ■ LaFollette ■ Portland, Tenn. ■ Sanford, Fla. ■ Rose Hill, Va. ■ Stone Mountain, Ga. ■ Camden, S.C. ■ Santiago, Dominican Republic ■ Villa Canales, Guatemala ■ San Jose, Costa Rica ■ Dublin, Ireland ■ Tallinn, Estonia DeBusk grew up in a house trailer, hauled by his

daddy to coal camps where there was work. Pete attended 13 schools in grades 1-12. Now he lives in a huge home on Cunningham Road in Halls. This place has 37,000-square feet in the main house and another 11,000-square feet in an adjoining lodge. Caretakers live in a garage and apartment area. The estate is fenced with a running trail and small lake. This writer was around during the endless construction, giving occasional updates in the Shopper under the heading, “DeHouse.” Pete was not amused, but he didn’t come and shoot me. He spearheaded construction of the Boys and Girls Club of Halls and Powell, which bears his name. He’s a good community member and a former Halls Man of the Year. So I like Pete DeBusk. I

like the way he built factories all over East Tennessee and exported merchandise when many businesses built plants overseas and imported merchandise. Don’t you love the way he bowed up and sued the American Bar Association when it failed to accredit the Duncan School of Law at LMU? Who does that? You’ll gain insight into how Pete thinks and operates by reading this new book. The title is based on an Appalachian metaphor for a situation in which an underdog comes out on top, when the hunted becomes the hunter.

Find a problem to solve and then figure out how to address it. Listen to your customers because your success or failure will ultimately depend on your ability to meet their needs.”

Sam’s Club invests in East Knox store Is it safe to invest your hard-earned money in an East Knoxville business? You bet. Sam’s Club, located on Millertown Pike, is investing nearly $8 million in a net 24,000-square foot addition to its existing 115,000 square foot building located near Knoxville Center mall. (I said “net addition” because the contractor is actually adding 31,700-square feet of new structure after demolishing the old automotive section of roughly 7,000-square feet). The expanded building will allow Sam’s to have a much better automobile service area and enhanced merchandise display. New features include a specialty electronics center, a hearing aid center to complement its vision/eyeglass service, an expanded bakery and meat sales counter area, more room for administrative of-

fices for store management, a new pharmacy and a better checkout area. The 140,000-square foot store will be a great addition to the shopping in this part

of the city. The project is expected to be completed by mid-November of this year. A separate Sam’s team is handling the interior finishes. The original target date was late October, but weather delays affected the early site work. The new building is now well along and will soon be completely under roof, so that construction delays are less likely to occur. In addition to the interior store expansion, Sam’s is

also building a fuel service island or kiosk style service station to provide gasoline for its customers. So, is it safe to invest in East Knoxville? A good place to earn money? You bet. Watch Sam’s grow. There are also other stores going up in the area. More about that next time. Come experience the 100+ shops in the mall and around both sides of the East Town exits of I-640. Nick Della Volpe represents District 4 on Knoxville City Council.

Diocese to unveil Legacy Clinic Located near the corner of Maynardville Highway and Emory Road, there is currently 12,754-square feet of retail or office space which includes a 2,830 square feet of restaurant space. The restaurant, formerly occupied by Wishbones, is set up with a walk-in cooler, grease trap and hood and also includes both eat-in space and a patio for diners.

A tradition of caring for the medically underserved of East Tennessee extending over eight decades now continues through a state-of-the-art mobile medical clinic that will be unveiled at The Chancery Office of the Diocese of Knoxville at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11. Bishop Richard F. Stika and Sister Mariana Koonce, RSM, MD, clinic medical director and family-practice physician, will announce and bless the commissioning of the vehicle and cut the ceremonial ribbon. The newly built 40-foot mobile clinic, owned and operated by the Catholic Diocese of Knoxville, will extend the healing ministry of Jesus to East Tennessee, according to a press release.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

When getting back on your feet

is the first step ately. I couldn’t believe it,” said Cosby. “I had no pain. When I woke up they took me back to my room. I didn’t go back to bed, I sat in a chair.” By lunchtime on Saturday, Cosby had walked 500 feet down the hall with a walker. By that evening, he had set the walker aside and headed down the hall without it. “I talked (Dr. Yau) into letting me go home on Sunday because I didn’t have pain. He talked me into a prescription, but I didn’t need them a lot. I had no pain. He asked me, on a scale of 1 to 10, what’s your pain? I said zero.” Recovery for Cosby has been swift, probably because of his determination to get back to normal and work on his farm. And yes, he still rides the ATV. “I don’t ride it fast like these young people do. I go slow,” he said. Cosby said he would recommend Fort Sanders to anyone who needs orthopedic care. His wife of 50 years, Imogene, also had orthopedic surgery at Fort Sanders and was pleased. “Nobody wants to go to hospital, but if anyone needs to, I recommend they go to Fort Sanders,” said Cosby. “They’re a fine hospital, with real nice people, and they do a good job. “It’s the finest hospital I’ve ever walked through the doors of, because of the people and the care they give.”

In early April 2013, Larry ry ry TV TV Cosby, 67, rode out on his ATV aito check the cattle on his Claiborne County farm. “I was riding and going up sideways on a hill. We had a lot ot ck, of rain so the ground was slick, byy so it starts to tip over,” Cosby wn said. “I put my left foot down o and my foot slipped; I had tto lyy , get off the four-wheeler quickly, getting up on my left foot.” Cosby managed to hop off the ATV fast enough not to be crushed by the machine, but the twisting motion of his leg sent pain shooting through his hip. “I got up and picked my stuff back up, but my hip was sore,” he said. Thinking he’d just strained a muscle, Cosby ignored the pain for a while. “I hopped around for two weeks, then finally went the doctor,” he said. A local nurse practitioner referred him to orthopedic surgeon Dr. Paul Yau at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. After an X-ray and an MRI, Cosby was diagnosed with a fracture in his hip, a partial break in the upper part of his femur (thigh) bone. Because hip fractures can lead to serious complications, Yau scheduled Cosby for surgery early the next morning, a Saturday. During the surgery, Yau installed three screws into the fractured bone to hold it together while it healed. “My pain was better immedi- Imogene and Larry Cosby at their 50th anniversary celebration

He asked me, on a scale of 1 to 10, what’s your pain? I said zero. – Larry Cosby

Beating the odds with the latest approach to hip fractures Just months after falling and breaking his hip, Larry Cosby of Claiborne County, Tenn., was back on his ATV, tending cattle on his farm. But statistics show that Cosby is in the minority. An estimated 20 to 30 percent of hip fracture patients over the age of 65 will die within 12 months, according to a 2009 study by the Journal of the American Medical Association. About 90 percent of hip fractures occur in people over the age of 60. Hip fracture is the second leading cause of hospitalization for older people in the U.S. In 2007, there were 281,000 hospitalizations for hip fracture in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Studies show great disability after hip fracture. Ninety percent of patients can’t climb stairs, 66 percent cannot get on and off a toilet unassisted, 50 percent are unable to get out of a chair, 31 percent can’t get out of bed

unassisted and 20 percent cannot dress themselves after a hip frac”The statistics are bad with hip fracture, but we are changing that,” said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hip FracDr. Paul Yau ture Center at Fort Sanders. The center opened in March 2013 to provide coordinated, top-quality care to hip fracture patients. Using a team approach to care, the center employs all the “best practices” that research has found offer the best results for hip fracture patients. For example, hip fracture patients are encouraged to get up and out of bed as quickly as possible. “Getting patients out of bed, back on their feet and out of the hospital as quickly as possible is probably the most critical factor in avoiding complications,” said Yau.

“If you lie in bed for a prolonged period of time, you risk bedsores and skin ulcers, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections,” he said. Strategies for getting patients out of bed quickly start in the operating room. “Well, pain control is the best thing we can do in the operating room,” said Yau. “Our protocol is that anesthesia is given at the site of the break. Patients have regional anesthesia, rather than general anesthesia. This means there is less of a ‘fog’ for the patient after surgery, with less nausea and vomiting. As a result they can walk much sooner than normally done before,” Yau said. The surgery itself is a complete repair, not just a partial, Yau added. “We do it in such way that there’s no restriction on weight bearing afterward.” Historically, surgeons used to fix hip fractures with plates and screws that limited the patient’s weight bearing ability.

“We still use plates and screws, but we’re able to fix it in such a way the patient can put full weight on the leg with no restrictions,” Yau said. “Even a week or two out of surgery, people are getting rid of their walkers and canes,” said Yau. “We’re seeing two to three weeks of recovery instead of six to eight weeks. It’s pretty dramatic. They’re sitting up the same day of surgery.” The Hip Fracture Center at Fort Sanders is located beside the Joint Replacement Center, which specializes in replacing hips and knees. The two centers together mean Fort Sanders is one of the most experienced orthopedics centers in East Tennessee. “There are only about 30 institutions across country that have set up a program like the Hip Fracture Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center,” said Yau. “We’re pretty excited to be providing this to the community.”

hip fracture ■ Have your vision checked and corrected regularly. ■ Exercise daily to improve balance. ■ Remove home safety hazards like loose rugs, dimly lit stairs and extension cords on the ﬂoor. ■ Put safety rails in bathrooms and on stairs. ■ Know your osteoporosis risk and consult with your physician about medication if needed.

Walter knows water Walter Wunderlich, 81, of Fountain City, scolds me for the timing of this story. “You should wait two years,” he says. “Then I’ll be

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner celebrating 50 years in this very house!” Wunderlich is retired from TVA, where he worked as a hydraulic engineer. But his story goes much deeper than that. He was born in the town of Asch in the Sudetenland – an area rife with chaos at the end of World War II. His boyhood was full of upheaval, and Wunderlich speaks passionately about his homeland being invaded by the Nazi regime and then by the Czech military. Along with 3.5 million other ethnic Germans, he and his family were expelled from their ancestral homeland by the Soviet-protected Czech government. His family survived intact but lost almost everything. Nevertheless, he went on to earn a doctoral degree in engineering from the University of Karlsruhe (now Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) in Germany. And how did he end up at TVA? “I replied to an ad in Time magazine,” he says in his lilting German accent.

INDOOR YARD SALE! 2814 Pruden Dr. Fri, Sept. 13 • 8-3 ALL MUST GO!

“Also, I had friends with contacts in the hydroelectric field in America.” In 1964 Wunderlich applied for a work visa, and “by New Year’s 1965 I was in Times Square celebrating!” Recalling that wild night, he chuckles, “Never again!” Engineers like Wunderlich, and the expertise they bring, are the reason dams don’t buckle under the tremendous force of the water. He’s an expert on hydroelectric structures, and was a dedicated TVA engineer for many years. “I enjoyed that work very much.” He helped to expand the program into areas such as water quality monitoring and sustainability. With his boss, Rex Elder, he created the Water Resources Management Methods Staff, and supervised the group from 1970 until 1983. At the dawn of the computer age, they created early digital models for simulating complex processes in the TVA multipurpose reservoir system. He still enjoys numbers. “I read math books just for fun nowadays.” Wunderlich and his wife Carole, a retired lecturer in Spanish at UT, enjoy many pursuits. He’s a hiker and frequent neighborhood walker, and they both enjoy travel. They met 35 years ago in the Alliance Francaise, a Knoxville French Club. A study in their Fountain City home contains side-byside computer workstations, and Carole’s wall is covered with many “docent of the year” and “volunteer of the year” citations from the Knoxville Museum of Art. File cabinets march up the center of the room, and the walls are lined with books. Wunderlich himself wrote some of them.

There’s his textbook on probability methods used in maintenance planning for hydraulic structures. Another handbook on hydropower engineering contains a chapter authored by him. There’s a self-published book, “The Lookout Towers of the Great Smoky Mountains.” Before he finished it, many of the fire towers no longer existed, so he’s expanding it to include surrounding areas along with the Great Smokies. But another self-published book is near and dear to his heart. A few years ago, Wunderlich and his two sons spent some time hiking near the town where he was born. The resulting book, “Rund ums Ascher Land” (loosely translated as “A Tour of the Land around Asch”) is a cherished me-

mento of his homeland, its culture and the people who disappeared with the expulsion. “I wanted to create something for the people who were driven away and their progeny.” Right now he’s enjoying the impending change of season with his daily walks and occasional yardwork. Even after all his accomplishments, he still considers himself a perpetual student. “ Schooling is important to start you off,” he says, “but then you must continue to learn.” Send story suggestions to news@ShopperNewsNow.com
