Monumental day at Shannondale

By Ruth White If you are a parent of a Shannondale Elementary student – or school principal Jack Nealy – you might want to pinch yourself and make sure you aren’t dreaming.

Ground was officially broken last week on a new addition to the school, which Nealy calls “an exciting culmination of planning and dreaming.”

The new space will add 22,000-square feet, 12 classrooms, a teacher work area, a new media center, a new elevator and additional cafeteria seating.

“This is a wonderful day in the history of Shannondale,” Nealy said.

Helping break ground on the new addition to Shannondale Elementary are principal Jack Nealy assisted by Thomas Hooper, Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre assisted

Who ‘owns’ the tennis courts?

By Jake Mabe If you’ve driven by the tennis courts adjacent to Halls Elementary School along Andersonville Pike, you know the problem.

Neglect. Sagging nets. Growing grass. Wild weeds. Cracked playing surface.

The curious part is that no one seems to know who’s responsible for their maintenance.

The tennis courts were used for years by the Halls High School tennis team and community residents.

The Shopper-News contacted former Knox County Schools spokesperson Russ Oaks about the issue on behalf of community resident Gina Whaley Reed in 2008. The school system sent a maintenance crew to the site to straighten the nets.

But nothing has happened since.

The tennis courts located near the campus of Halls Elementary have fallen into disrepair.

The Halls High tennis team has to practice elsewhere.

Grass and weeds are growing at the Halls tennis courts.

Halls High tennis coach Cheri Duncan says the tennis team would love to use the courts.

“The reason we don’t use them is because they are in such bad shape. We tried the first couple of years (when I became coach) to use them but the surface was dangerous, so we have to use where-

ever we can find.”

A Halls resident who contacted me earlier this month said, “There’s no way anybody can play tennis on those courts. And it’s such an eyesore.”

Yet another person said: “If they aren’t going to maintain the tennis courts, why not just bulldoze them

Thank you, teacher!

By Jake Mabe and Sandra Clark

We asked and you responded.

This story touches off a multiweek series called “Thank you, teacher!” Here’s the deal: Teachers call and talk anonymously – because all who spoke to us are palpably fearful about repercussions – about issues facing Knox County Schools.

Due to the tremendous response, we’re giving you a quick highlight of what we’ve heard and asking quick questions. In the coming weeks, we are going to delve into specific issues in depth.

Here’s a sample of what we heard: A 20-year teacher dislikes the “exit ticket” kids are required to fill out – what they have learned today – before leaving class.

Huh? An EXIT ticket?

Adds that kids are being tested way too much, a refrain we heard repeatedly. Another teacher said she administers 62 different tests plus TCAPS. Friday is “test day” and often the students leave school crying, “and I do too.”

Crying?!

She gives three tests called

CARE, which are administered individually, and also does weekly CARE tests in reading and spelling. She does 12 timed math tests and 8 other math tests.

TCAPS last an entire week.

A kindergarten teacher says 1st grade test results were pushed back to kindergarten teachers for evaluation purposes, even though the kids were disbursed. Now kindergarten kids who cannot read will be tested – one teacher with 20 kids – and wordy questions can’t be explained or even repeated. Evaluations are set for

What’s right?

“Fabulous teachers and principals, all concerned about students.” What’s wrong? Over-testing. Said the rubric for teacher evaluation has 19 “indicators,” each with 3-8 “descriptors.”

One assistant principal frankly admitted not understanding the evaluation language.

A 27-year teacher said there’s too much change, too quickly.

To catch a thief Tatewood neighbors ID burglar

By Betty Bean The big news at the Tatewood Neighborhood Watch meeting last week was Christopher Skelley’s report on the investigation into the daylight breaking and entering of neighbor Jonathan Wallace’s car.

On Sept. 3, Wallace had been helping Skelley with some yard work and had to leave his car parked on the street because the Skelley driveway was full. He left his keys in the trunk lock and his wallet locked in the car.

When he returned 15 minutes later, the keys were gone and the console ripped off. His wallet vanished, too.

He called police and credit card companies, and learned that someone had already bought $300 worth of gasoline and cigarettes at nearby convenience stores.

He went to the stores and talked to a clerk who had a receipt with the forged signature and remembered the suspect as a regular customer. The next day, the clerk came up with a name, which Wallace and Skelley matched up to a photo on Mugshots.com.

KPD investigator Sue Cox got store security camera videotape, matched the name and the image, and got a positive photo lineup identification from one of the clerks, which enabled her to get a felony warrant, which Wallace signed the next day.

“We were pretty vigilant,” Wallace said. “Acting quickly was the key.”

“The Summer Bridge teachers were especially helpful. They helped us by answering our questions with respect. And the smaller class size helped us get to know teachers on a more personal level.”

Mike Toth, who served as principal for the Summer Bridge Program at Halls High and is now an assis-

The Halls B&P donated money so that the students could take the trip.

Tennova wins Middlebrook rezoning The pressure cooker has whistled on the stewing battle between Tennova and neighborhood groups.

Who follows Burchett?

Is Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett really running for U.S. Senator? This writer thinks eventually he will not do so, but Burchett continues to discuss the prospect in terms which suggest a run is possible if not probable.

Victor Ashe

This column will not deal with whether a U.S. Senate run by Burchett is wise or not. (I am a donor to Sen. Lamar Alexander’s campaign). However, talk of Burchett running has reached the point where those who might want to be county mayor should start listening and taking notes either for 2014 or 2018 when Burchett is term limited.

Burchett running for a second term as county mayor is a very winnable race for him despite opposition from many in the business community. No one has stepped up to take him on from either the Republican or Democratic side nor are they likely to do so.

However, if Burchett runs for U.S. Senate, he would have to abandon a re-election campaign for mayor as a practical matter if not a legal matter. That decision would have to be made by this February for the May county primary in 2014.

So who would run for county mayor if Burchett is no longer seeking a second term? Lots of names come to mind and my listing of them does not indicate a preference.

County Commissioner R. Larry Smith is a threat to many vacancies and county mayor would be no exception.

County Commissioner Mike Hammond who has thought of such a race in the past might run this time.

Would County Commissioner Richard Briggs drop his race for state senator to seek the county mayor’s position? Briggs’ senate campaign has failed to pick up steam at this point. In a county mayor’s contest with 3 or 4 candidates, the winner only needs 35 percent of the vote, while in a two-way race for state

senator, the winner needs 50.1 percent of the vote.

New County Commission chair Brad Anders may also be a prospect.

Craig Leuthold was thrilled to be the appointed trustee and will seek a full term for trustee. Would County Clerk Foster Arnett, who has considered such a race in the past, reconsider with Burchett out of the picture? Possible. Would new county school board chair Lynne Fugate seek the top county office to promote education?

Dean Rice on Burchett’s staff might take a hard look at it if the boss is running for U.S. Senate. State Reps.

Ryan Haynes and Harry Brooks are possibilities.

Well-known citizens who could do the job if they held it and who might be encouraged include Republican business owner and education aide to the governor, Randy Boyd, and Legacy Parks director Carol Evans. Both could secure the funding for a countywide campaign.

Do the Democrats have anyone who could win?

Doubtful. Mayor Rogero would not abandon her city job when she seems a strong bet for a second term although it would be a $24,000 a year pay raise for her if she won it. Former county executive Tommy Schumpert has no interest.

State Rep. Gloria Johnson would be a prospect, along with former State Rep. Wayne Ritchie. He would appeal to more Republicans than Johnson, but Johnson may want a second term as state rep. Ritchie seems content to practice law, but he would be a viable candidate if he ran.

■ If Johnson wins a second term as state rep she becomes vested in the legislative retirement plan which gives her a lifetime pension at age 55 of at least $250 a month increasing annually depending on how many years she serves. As a legislator, she does not have to contribute to her legislative retirement while she does have to contribute to her teacher’s retirement as well as social security.

■ State Rep. Joe Armstrong seems happy being the other Democratic state representative and does not aspire to other positions. He is the senior Knox legislator in either party in our 10-member delegation. Bill Dunn is the senior Republican.

POLITICAL NOTES ■ Third/4th District Democratic Club will meet 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, at the Bearden Branch Library, 100 Golf Club Road. Guest speaker: state Rep. Gloria Johnson.

Council voted 5-3-1 to rezone 60 acres of the 100acre Waterhouse farm on Middlebrook Pike to office.

The land backs up to West Hills where most of the opposition centered.

Council members Nick Pavlis, Brenda Palmer, Finbarr Saunders, Duane Grieve and George Wallace prevailed. Nick Della Volpe, Daniel Brown and Mark Campen lost. Marshall Stair abstained because his law firm represents Tennova.

Rocky Swingle organized the opposition. He presented a petition with 699 signatures and brought residents from the Oakwood area who will lose their hospital, the former St. Mary’s, once a re-

placement is built.

It was a night of high emotion.

Swingle told Council their vote would be remembered. It was a lame threat.

There is an election underway right now. Della Volpe and Brown have opponents. Both voted no. Grieve and Pavlis are unopposed.

Both voted yes. What would have happened had Swingle simply qualified with 25 signatures to oppose Grieve? It likely would have meant a loss for Tennova.

Elections matter, and those who care about preserving their neighborhoods should field candidates.

In case you want to remember the vote, here’s the Shopper’s handy guide: Daniel Brown: “For me, this council has to show leadership. I don’t want to see everything move to West Knoxville. We have to do what’s best for the city.”

Mark Campen: “I cannot support this because of the loss of retail sales and jobs (in North Knoxville). …

Seems there’s more interest in profits than people.”

Nick Della Volpe:

Thank you, teacher! and the central office.

Adds that so many teachers have submitted retirement applications that the state retirement board is telling Knox County teachers it will take three months to process the paperwork.

Several teachers – young and old – told us they would either retire or leave the profession if they could.

One teacher says principals were told last year that the reason their evaluation scores were so low was because principals have been rating teachers “too high,” and “to do a better job scoring the rubric until you improve (or else) principals’ scores will continue to be low.” Adds this has caused unintended consequences, such as pitting principals against teachers because of the evaluations. “How can you work together when people are being judged by each other?”

Hmm. We thought these evaluations weren’t supposed to be punitive.

Another teacher said her school has lost 5 excellent teachers and a mid-career teacher recently quit because her doctor said the stress of testing was affecting her health. All evaluations are unannounced this year.

One says the handbook for evaluations had specific criteria for levels 1, 3 and 5. Not so for 2 and 4.

Unverified rumor (supposedly from a former administrator back to classroom but still on principal email list) to gear back on evalua-

tions this year as funds are limited.

“It would take Jesus or Dumbledore to score a 5.”

A teacher said Knox County is using a form previously used for disciplinary reasons called a Conference of Concern for those who score a 2 or below.

“The general saying is you are guilty until proven innocent and that you are a poor teacher until you prove otherwise. It’s causing a high level of stress.

“Teachers are afraid.

There is pressure. There are repercussions.”

One complained about students evaluating the teachers.

One question reads: Does your teacher PUSH you?

This means challenge you academically, but it could mean push you down.

Paging English 101.

A teacher says there are potentially 100 different aspects of a lesson, impossible for a teacher to include all in every lesson. Said evaluation rubric has good points, but we rushed into using it, “flying the plane while building it.”

One teacher was marked down for clutter in the classroom – materials for an upcoming science lesson.

Others were marked down for wasting time between lesson components, passing out papers, etc.

Multiple teachers talked about the difficulty getting kids into special ed, saying these kids lower test scores for the grade – and

“This decision has tremendous implications and will really affect the center city and the lives of people.”

Duane Grieve: “This is a land use issue.”

Brenda Palmer: “I’m not a cheerleader for Tennova or West Hills. It frightens me that we could have a big box store on this property.”

Nick Pavlis: “This is a

tough issue, but it’s a land use issue.”

Finbarr Saunders: “That land will be developed.”

George Wallace: “This is a land use and private property rights issue. ...

The developer is willing to set aside 40 percent of the property for a buffer; usually the buffer is 25 feet.”

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Attorney John King has found a way around City Council’s 5-minute rule. He just handed his remarks to Duane Grieve, who read for more than 30 minutes before the Tennova vote.

■ NPR reports a low favorable rating for Obamacare, but when the question is posed as the Affordable Health Care Act, the percentage rises sharply. Maybe the president should change his name to Barack Affordable.

■ Victor Ashe missed the most obvious successor to Tim Burchett.

Stacey Campfield followed Burchett into the state House and then into the state Senate. Can you say Mayor Stacey?

the teacher.

Lack of planning time. One teacher said planning time is needed to contact parents, meet with or talk with parents, plan lessons, meet with grade level teachers. Now the time is developed to meeting with “coaches” and “mentors” and “lead teachers.”

Hmm. We thought PLCs were going to solve that.

Principals are also losing planning time. They are so busy with evaluations they have no time to talk.

A middle school related arts teacher says 30 minutes a day have been chewed out of schedule for intervention, which fewer than 10 percent of students even need. The rest are put into “enrichment,” which lacks structure and is simply required to be “rigorous and support the Common Core.”

The teacher adds, “I teach an enrichment class every day even though I can’t tell you what that is.” Said the related arts time allotment is not uniform countywide.

Kids have to split time – get 1/2 as much – art, computer, music, band, phys-ed, etc.

“We were told we are not allowed to tell parents that they can say, “I don’t want my kid in an intervention class.”

Not allowed? If it’s such a good idea, no one would fear anybody opting out of it.

A 40-year middle school teacher says a sizable majority of teachers, principals and custodians all care about what they do, “do it because they have a calling, because they want to and it’s important to them.”

Adds that most teachers

see attending the superintendent’s forums or teachers’ meetings as useless.

“They may listen, but they aren’t going to change anything. That’s the perception, if not the reality.”

A teacher says that the Tennessee Education Association has had to hire an outside law firm just to deal with issues in Knox County Schools alone.

A middle school teacher says children are not allowed to enter the building until 7:30. “It doesn’t matter whether you get there at 6 a.m. or 7:28.”

Says that a handicapped student who was having trouble standing was told to go back outside. Adds that the principal admonished the teacher for arriving early to supervise the children.

Was told, “That’s not my job. It’s the parent’s responsibility,” and that the teacher was “breaking the rules” for allowing children in the building before 7:30.

Compare this to Kenneth “Sarge” Pinkney, a former soldier turned educator, who discovered a student hiding in the bushes near his Memphis school’s entrance at 6 a.m. and started arriving early himself so she could get inside.

“I can retire,” the teacher said. But I just can’t do it.

Says another, “Jim McIntyre is an accountant, not an educator, and he’s tearing Knox County Schools apart.

“We’re not just a number and neither are our kids.”

The people’s defender LAW DOGS | Betty Bean In real life, those Perry Mason moments when the defense attorney springs a surprise that snatches an innocent from the gallows hardly ever happen. But every great once in awhile the stars align, and the result can be as dramatic as anything on TV. Knox County Public Defender Mark Stephens had such a moment early in his career, but what he remembers best was how close the people of Tennessee came to condemning an innocent man, and how few people cared.

“My client’s life was ruined,” said Stephens, who was sitting on a couch in the Community Law Office in the building he helped design. A framed poster from the Gideon Celebration – a 2003 national gathering held in Knoxville marking the 40th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, the landmark Supreme Court case that established the right of indigent defendants to legal representation – hangs on the wall behind him. Pictures of his wife Lynette and daughters Jessica, Lizzy and Madeline cover the far wall.

A portrait of John Lennon is off to the side.

A sliver of anger creeps into his voice at the mention of his wrongly accused client.

“He struggled for years with residual problems from what happened to him in Knoxville, but we didn’t get a sense of ‘We made a mistake.’ We got a sense of ‘You got lucky, buddy.’ The lead detective refused to be apologetic, even after the fact.”

Stephens, a Republican elected in 1990, is the only public defender Knox County has ever had. He got a call late on a hot summer night in 1992 that a little girl had disappeared and a young man in custody was asking for a lawyer. The FBI was already involved.

Kassie Trimmier was 3½, blonde and lived in Christenberry Heights.

Stephens’ client was 19 (14 at the time of the murder, 17 when he was arrested), African-American, lived in Clinton and was known to have a white girlfriend.

Kassie had vanished from

ETTAC needs toys and toy adapters The East Tennessee Technology Access Center is now accepting volunteers to adapt battery-operated toys for children who cannot use their hands to play with typical toys. The first trainings for new adapters will be held 6-8 p.m. Thursdays, Sept. 26 and Oct. 3, at ETTAC, 116 Childress St. New battery-operated toys are needed immediately for the volunteers to begin working on in order for the toys to be ready for its annual Toy Tech party Monday, Dec 2. These toys are given at no charge to children with disabilities who cannot play with offthe-shelf toys in ETTAC’s 24-county region.

the parking lot where she was playing before supper.

Her panicked mother called the police, who canvassed the area.

A couple of unrelated witnesses came forward separately saying they’d seen a tall black man yanking a little white girl toward the men’s room at the Inskip ball park.

It didn’t look right, so each of them watched for him to walk out. He got into a green car and they both tried to get his license number. Both were one digit off, perhaps because the tag was muddy.

Investigators quickly focused on a suspect and brought him in. The witnesses identified him. That’s when Stephens entered the case.

“They wanted to make sure my guy understood that if the girl were still alive his situation would change dramatically. I remember going into the room and telling him I was his lawyer and if there was anything he could do to recover the girl, our situation was going to be a whole lot better.

“He told me ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’”

Later, when Stephens interviewed one of the witnesses, he showed her a photo of a black man that he’d found in the case file. It

wasn’t his client.

“I asked her, ‘What was it about this person that allowed you to recall his features – skin tone? Hair?

Forehead? Nose?’ She took that picture and said ‘Oh, yeah.’ I just let her go. I took all these notes and never did tell her it was the wrong guy.

A day later, talking to the male witness, I did the same thing with the same result.”

The woman identified Stephens’ client at the preliminary hearing and he began his cross-examination by handing her the picture.

She said she was sure.

“It never did dawn on her that the picture and the defendant weren’t the same person,” Stephens said. “At that point, (prosecutor) David Jennings hit the roof.”

Stephens’ client spent 69 days in custody before a grand jury no-trued his charges. In 1995, construction workers remodeling the building where Kassie had lived found her body wrapped in plastic bags, stuffed into a crawl space above an apartment three doors down. Investigators brought in a 14-year-old Caucasian named John Clark Kearney who’d lived there at the time of the crime and had ridden around with

The framed poster behind him is from the Gideon Celebration, a 2003 national gathering held in Knoxville to mark the 40th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainright. Photo by Betty Bean officers during the preliminary search. He confessed, and is still in prison with a release date of 2018.

“We never did know (the identity of) the guy at the ballpark,” Stephens said.

He says this case illustrates a lot that’s wrong with the criminal justice system.

“Contrast the way defense lawyers fact-gather with (methods used by) police and prosecutors. They gather facts consistent with who they think did it. Any fact that promotes the theory that the defendant didn’t do it is wrong. That’s their cocoon. They form judgments quickly and they are absolutely right.

“We teach fact-gathering from neutral sources. Fact-

gather as if all facts have equal value. This was just one case where the truth came to light, one case where the fact that the emperor had no clothes was revealed. But it’s not just this one time.”

Knox County was the last in Tennessee to get a public defender. Blessed with an abundance of lawyers, the local bar opposed getting a PD until state Rep. Joe Armstrong took up the cause in 1990. Stephens, who had been a prosecutor in former Attorney General Ed Dossett’s office before entering private practice, was elected and started the job with no money, no office and very little support from Knox County.

“We’ve been chasing our tails since 1990. We were given seven lawyers at a time when Memphis had 70 and Nashville had 30. What we’ve been trying to do since then is play catch-up.”

The passage of a state law requiring counties to give public defenders 75 percent of the amount they give the district attorney allowed Stephens not only to have a functional office but to build the Family Law Office, a beautiful building that reflects his commitment to holistic law, which centers around getting to root causes of criminal behavior and helps defendants find employment, job training and other essential needs.

The building will be paid for ahead of schedule, and he is grateful to former County Executive Tommy Schumpert and his administrative assistant Molly Pratt for supporting his idea.

Stephens says his philosophy is simple.

“I don’t think there is much that separates me from my clients. I reject the notion that I am any better than you or a prosecutor or a judge or any of the people I represent and the system only works when there’s a real adversary to stand up and get results we can have confidence in.

“I take this term public defender seriously. In my cases, we are litigating what a police officer can and cannot do, and I really am defending the people from a government that wants to know what you think, what you see, what you hear, what you view.

“The rule of law is what defines when that crosses that line.”

this coach, despite repeated interruptions for military duty, produced 173 victories out of 215 games. He put Vanderbilt in its place and never lost to the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant. He was a conservative fundamentalist in the truest sense and also a visionary who invented little things to make winning easier.

From a pick-up rocky beginning, the playing surface, through the years, has been nurtured like a golf course, then rudely covered with plastic, then wisely restored to natural greenness.

The building has been generally maintained, enlarged eight times, enhanced and redecorated. From peak capacity of 104,079, it has been shrunk in favor of more elites and fewer commoners.

Back in the old days, exu-

berant fans several times stormed the field and tore down goalposts. Last I recall was mid-September 1998, after the dramatic overtime victory over Florida. Some think that was the best game ever at the great ballpark.

So, where is all this stuff going, in praise of readers and the Saturday shrine? If you have never been to Neyland Stadium, Saturday is a good time to go. The foe is South Alabama of the Sun Belt Conference. It is not to be confused with the real Alabama of national championship fame.

South Alabama will provide more than necessary competition but won’t cause over-crowded conditions.

Tickets will likely be available in the stadium vicinity, perhaps at discounted prices. Popcorn and the

UT band, the Pride of the Southland, will be just as good as at main events.

If you go, arrive early and soak up the scene. Recall whatever you remember from reading “Legends,” the interesting book about the all-time greats. Consider these add-ons: The Volunteers have won 79 percent of their home games. Eighteen old Vols are enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. Seventy-two allAmericans have played in orange shirts, one in black, none in gray.

Epic battles have been fiercely fought on that field.

Combatants have endured contusions, knee aches and severe body blows.

Blood, sweat and tears have dripped and spilled. Indeed, it is hallowed ground.

But until now, I had never stopped to consider one fact.

The “sons of God” (read: angels) had noticed the daughters of men because they were “fair.” Presumably, those daughters were Cross produced by child-bearing Currents women, right? So why did Lynn the angels fail to notice the Pitts fair women of that earlier generation? I’m just asking.

The phrase “it came to pass” occurs in the King James Version of the Bible I’m headed somewhere 428 times, by actual count else with this, but bear with (thank you, Strong’s Conme a moment while I ponder cordance).

She didn’t even have to stop and think about it.

She replied, “And it came to pass.” Her questioner, puzzled by her answer, said, “And why is that?”

“Because,” she explained emphatically, “I would hate to think it had come to stay!”

The truth is, as Frost so poetically reminded us, that nothing comes to stay.

(Well, maybe rent and taxes!) Rainbows share their beauty for scant moments.

Leaves turn and fall. Great castles fall into ruin. Our loved ones die. We age and realize that our future is now shorter than our past.

So the wise words “This, too, shall pass” are both threat and promise.

On Sept. 30, 1859, Abraham Lincoln, in an address before the Wisconsin State

Agricultural Society in Milwaukee, made this statement: “It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words ‘And this, too, shall pass away.’

How much it expresses!

How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!”

From the Sufi poets to our greatest president, the wisdom flows in our direction: Live. Enjoy. Pay attention. Give. Forgive. Forget.

Accept. Remember. Abide.

What the book did best was remind me of what we have here and what we too often take for granted.

What we have is one of the greatest arenas in the world, almost perfectly located between the Tennessee River and The Hill, historic center of campus no matter where it sprawls. There are mountains as a backdrop, a very high-tech video board, more than enough seats for the multitudes, and fancy enclosed quarters for the rich and famous.

The stadium has the best possible name, Neyland, for the godfather who transformed routine blocking and tackling into a great success story that became a genuine tradition.

Between 1926 and 1952,

It came to pass And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

(Genesis 6:1-2 KJV) Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower, But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay. (“Nothing Gold Can Stay,” Robert Frost) This, too, shall pass away.

Flint is new music minster at Beaver Dam

By Cindy Taylor Ryan Flint has experienced a lot of “new� in his life during the past two years.

He got married, moved to Tennessee and has accepted the minister of music position at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. “I just dove right in,� said Flint, a graduate of Liberty University with a degree in worship and church music studies.

He grew up with a father who was in worship ministry long before Flint was born. This fueled his interest in music and his passion for worship. “I owe being here at 25 years old to the life exemplified by my dad. He was

always an example to me as what I wanted to be as a father, husband and worship leader.�

The tenor singer always thought he would leave for a larger church but God had other plans. Beaver Dam Baptist is a bit smaller than his former church and is the second position Flint has held since graduation.

He said he was content with being minister of worship at First Baptist of O’Fallon in Illinois. The opportunity at Beaver Dam fell into his lap. Eight months after he first heard of the opportunity, he and wife Katie headed to Tennessee.

Flint said the former music ministers at Beaver Dam really paved the way.

“Mike Bundon and (interim) Angie Cook did a fantastic job of growing the ministry in many ways. I was able to jump in and hit the ground running. I plan to continue on the path he and Angie were on.�

Flint will have the musical responsibility for the sanctuary choir, Next Gen (the student choir) and Silvertones (the senior choir).

His first Sunday at Beaver Dam was Sept. 15, and Flint said everyone was super sweet.

He loves to play basketball and said he plays “at� golf. At 25, Flint is one of the youngest music ministers to serve in a permanent position at the church. Katie has a degree in special educa-

Meetings and classes

The truth will set you free

By Cindy Taylor From the community prayer box sitting by the road to donated designer clothes at great prices on the inside, you know you are seeing a different kind of church.

Warren Biddle and wife Marie founded Beavercreek Christian Fellowship Church, a nondenominational congregation, in 2005. He and Marie have been married 44 years and truly have a heart for serving the community. “The focus of our church is not on numbers,� he said. “It’s about meeting the needs of others and sharing the truth of the gospel.�

The church meets those needs in many ways. From 10 a.m.-5 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, the building is converted into a shopping experience for those who need to be frugal.

Name-brand clothing can be purchased at unheardof prices. Furniture, toys and tools are also on the tables. Items are donated by others or purchased by

the church. The “store� is on wheels and can be rolled away behind the scenes for services. Income generated goes to fund Christian ministry work.

Biddle is a third generation farrier, horse trainer and equestrian expert. Horses graze on the grounds behind the church and church members are often treated to covered wagon rides. The Biddles help make birthday parties and special events a bit more affordable for other churches and individuals by offering pony rides and inflatables at a lesser price than a traditional business.

The church also serves as an intermediary for auto repair. Folks can bring their vehicle to the church and it will be taken to a shop offering an honest, reliable repair. Few people are aware that One Voice Christian Magazine, a free publication, originates from Beavercreek Church.

Beginning in October, Biddle will be offering biblical training classes to help

A group of people concerned with the health and well-being of Norris Lake met at Norris Dam State Park tearoom to focus on caring for our cleanest TVA reservoir.

Norris isn’t quite as clean as it could be, though.

Campbell County deputy sheriff Glennis Monday is passionate about stopping illegal dumping. He says when he joined the sheriff’s office there were 733 dump sites. With diligence and help from the community,

the judges, and public education, only six are left.

And he’s working to get those dump sites cleaned up. They are on difficult terrain.

He told several stories about “re-educating” litterers and dumpers, but the best one went something like this: “I got a call from dispatch telling me a lady had called in seeing someone dumping something in the water at a boat ramp. She said she was at home and could see it from there. I happened to

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Six decades on the air WKCS is the only county high-school radio station

At Fulton High’s radio station, WKCS, Adam Diggs works the controls as he and Tony Gunn, Jonathan Roth and Tripp “Elvis” Carver prerecord a football pregame show under the supervision of broadcasting teacher Russell Mayes.

By Betsy Pickle Many schools have strong traditions in sports programs or academics. At Fulton High School, the Falcons are consistently noted for their football prowess.

But there’s another venerable tradition at Fulton, one that has set the school apart for more than 60 years: WKCS 91.1 FM. Russell Mayes knows a lot about the history and significance of WKCS, the only high school radio station in the county. The 1995 Fulton graduate was on the air as a student, and he’s now in his 10th year of teaching radio and serving as WKCS general manager.

Radio has been his lifelong passion.

“That was what I wanted to do from the time I was little,” says Mayes. “I wanted to be the next John Ward,” referring to the iconic former play-by-play announcer for UT football and men’s basketball, known as The Voice of the Vols.

Ironically, as a student Mayes didn’t work on Fulton football broadcasts. He was a team manager and was always focused on the players during games. But he remembers the complicated setup.

“At that time, we didn’t have any way to put football on the air live,” he recalls. “They would record a quarter on a cassette tape, and they would run it out of the stadium, and they had a little box that they’d drop out the window of the radio room; it had a string tied to it (to pull it up). We’d be on a one-quarter tape delay.”

He and his classmates learned, “You do whatever it takes to get the job done.”

While attending UT, Mayes changed his major from communications to political science.

“I thought, ‘If radio doesn’t work out, I’ll have something to fall back on,’” he says. He certified to teach world and U.S. history, U.S. government and social studies.

After UT, Mayes worked at a couple of area stations. He took over the radio department at Fulton when beloved former local DJ “Dr. Al Adams” (Allen Johnson) retired after a nearly 30-year stint. Mayes is the sixth teacher and third alum of the program to head WKCS (and the radio classes) since the station went on the air in December 1952 (Fulton opened in 1951).

Throughout its six decades, WKCS has operated under the auspices of English, journalism, audiovisual and vocational classes. It’s now part of the CTE – Career and Technical Education – program and is the crown

jewel in FulCom, Fulton’s Magnet School of Communications, which incorporates radio/TV broadcasting and production, digital design and imaging, and web design.

“We are in the second year of the magnet program.”

Mayes points out that journalism still plays an important role.

“You have to be able to write. You have to be able to express yourself in any of these fields.”

Journalism is essential for the students who work on the “Flying Falcon News Show,” which airs at 3:30 p.m. Fridays.

“They interview principals and other students and talk about news and events that are going on in the school.”

Michael Scates, a senior in the advanced broadcasting class and a member of the football team, says “Flying Falcon” has helped him see “what’s going on behind the curtain” at school. For example, the news show aired a report not just on the fact that Fulton’s graduation rate improved from 40 percent to 80plus percent in about five years, but also on why. One reason, he says: “It’s the 20-teens, and you need college, and people were finally recognizing that,” says Scates.

Students listen to WKCS primarily for broadcasts of football and basketball games and informational programming, Scates says.

“When it’s (providing) communication about the school, to the school, that’s when people start paying attention,” he says, adding that he’s one of the few who likes the station’s music format.

Mayes is OK with that. While it

Senior Michael Scates works a live shift on WKCS. Photos by Betsy Pickle had an adult-contemporary format when he was in school, WKCS in recent years has stuck with oldies ranging from “Crimson and Clover” and “Ride Captain Ride” to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Losing My Religion.”

“When I first started teaching, we were only on the air from 8:30 to 3:30,” he says. “Really, there was no reason to market toward students because students were in school when we were on the air.

“Over time, we developed the oldies format, and there was no other radio station that was playing oldies.

We found our niche in the market.

“The thing that’s neat is, most of our kids are not coming in here knowing much about rock and roll music from the past, but they do learn, and they find artists that they like and something that they can relate to, so after their time in here, I think they

Knox County Council PTA

become a lot more knowledgeable about the music in this format.

“It’s kind of a paradox, it being a student radio station, but one of the realities of the industry is you’re trying to reach the largest audience that you possibly can. And for us, oldies gives us the opportunity to do that. It gives students a chance to be heard in the community; it gives them more exposure by doing that because other stations are doing other types of music.”

WKCS now operates 24/7, with automated programming on nights and weekends except for special events such as last year’s presidential debates, election returns and school board meetings. As Knox County’s only high-school radio station, WKCS has some serious duties.

“The school system is using us to help get the message out,” says Mayes.

Angie Harrod has a big heart for children You can’t help but like Adrian Burnett’s new principal Angie Harrod.

She was dressed in a beautiful Lilly Pulitzer summer dress topped off with a pair of high heel shoes with rhinestones around the base. She has good taste.

She also has a heart as big as Texas for children with needs. When she was growing up, Harrod would help her grandmother at a special day school. She wanted to help these children have a better life.

As she started off to college, she wanted to be a nurse to help others, but her heart was drawn back to teaching. She graduated college and taught special education for 30 years before transitioning into administration.

Harrod was the principal at Mount Olive Elementary School in South Knoxville for five years before moving to Adrian Burnett. For her, the transition was easy because the families have the same interests in kids and education.

“This is a community that is interested in seeing kids get the best education possible and I’m glad to be part of it.”

The biggest different in the two schools is the number of children and staff members. Mount Olive had 298 students enrolled;

News from Rural/Metro

Rural/Metro on hand at UT games

By Rob Webb UT’s Neyland Stadium becomes a blur of orange and white on football Saturdays, as does much of East Tennessee.

Amid that Webb sea of team colors are Rural/Metro ambulances that also bear orange and white, staffed by paramedics and EMTs ready to assist players and spectators in medical emergencies.

For more than two decades, Rural/Metro has been the official emergency services provider for the Tennessee football program and the hundreds of thousands of Volunteer fans who attend games each season.

In addition, Rural/Metro provides emergency medical services for Tennessee basketball and soccer games, working with Knoxville’s chapter of the American Red Cross, the city of Knoxville Fire Department

and the Knoxville Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad.

College football players oftentimes have massive bodies, along with the athletic attributes of speed and strength. That combination can lead to dangerous and sometimes life-threatening injuries that require treatment, equipment and techniques different than what is needed for standard EMS calls.

Rural/Metro knows firsthand the extraordinary injuries that can occur during a football game and how to treat them. At every game, Rural/Metro stations ambulances at field level and on the outer perimeter of Neyland Stadium. A miniambulance and Segway scooter are stationed outside the stadium to reach fans making their way to and from the game or tailgating.

Rural/Metro has stateof-the-art equipment to treat sports medical emergencies, including advanced cardiac monitors and defibrillators, and a critical care ambulance stocked

with medications, ventilators and other lifesaving devices.

A new addition is the LUCAS device, a mechanical system that delivers standardized chest compressions. In the case of cardiac arrest, the device will perform the compressions while the paramedic transports the patient to the ambulance. It can take precious time to navigate an injured player off the field or a fan out of the stands.

Deploying this device allows medical personnel to concentrate on moving the patient quickly and safely, while the heart continues to pump blood.

Key personnel who participate in sports and special events at UT undergo a two-day workshop on sports and event management. On a game day Saturday there are more than 100,000 fans packed into Neyland Stadium. Having the right equipment can make all the difference between saving a life and possibly losing one.

Making their big debut Actor/director Dylan Baker (center) was in town last week for the Knoxville Film Festival and the debut of his directorial debut of “23 Blast.” Baker is pictured at Bel Air Grill in Halls with Keith McDaniel, director of the film festival and actor Zach Slocum. Slocum, a 2004 graduate of Halls High, also premiered his film “The Kid” during the festival. Photo by Ruth White

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

‘A change for me’ Knoxville woman’s experience highlights importance of self-exams With a strong family history of breast cancer, Verondelia “Ronni” Chandler of Knoxville is careful about her health.

“Even if you do everything you can do, things happen, so what is in my power to do, I do,” Chandler said. “My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at 38. She had a radical mastectomy, but at age 48 it returned and metastasized.”

Since her mother struggled with breast cancer, Chandler has been faithful in getting regular screenings for herself.

In the spring of 2012, she was doing her monthly breast selfexam and noticed a lump.

“It was really tiny, a knot about the size of a small pea,” she said. “But because I regularly do my self-exams, I knew this was a change for me. In fact, when I followed up with my doctor, she couldn’t even find it!”

Mammography screening and a biopsy at Thompson Cancer Survival Center confirmed that Chandler had DCIS (ductal carcinoma in sutu), which is one of the earliest stages of breast cancer. Chandler had the lump removed at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and returned to Thompson for radiation treat- After surgery for breast cancer at Fort Sanders Regional, Ronni Chandler set sail on a family reunion cruise to the ments.

She also participated in Thompson’s Healing Touch When her treatments were Chandler said.

Easy breast self-exam Studies have shown that anywhere from 12 to 41 percent of breast cancer tumors are found by women themselves. That’s why it’s important to know what’s normal for your own body through regular breast self-exams (BSE).

It’s not hard to do BSE. Here’s how: ■ Do BSE once a month at a consistent time of the month, since breasts tend to change during the menstrual cycle.

■ Look in the mirror for shape, color, swelling, redness, dimpling or nipple changes, or signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples.

■ Raise your arms and look in the mirror for the same changes.

■ Feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel the left and the left hand to feel the right. Use a circular motion about the size of a quarter using the pads of your fingers. Cover the entire breast top to bottom, side to side, from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and armpit to cleavage. Squeeze the nipple and check for discharge.

■ Use light, medium and then firm pressure to make sure you’re feeling all the way through each portion of the tissue.

■ Do the same pattern of checking while standing and leaning over. Many women find it easiest to do this step in the shower with soapy hands.

ter and I’m appreciating being here to enjoy her life. I’m active in ministry at First AME Zion Church, so I have a rich wonderful life.”

Her experience with breast cancer has made Chandler more dedicated than ever to doing breast self-exams and getting screened regularly with mammography. She urges other women to do the same. An estimated 12 to 41 percent of breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump themselves, studies have shown.

“Start today with monthly self-checks,” she said. “Ask your nurse or doctor or Google ‘breast self-exam’ if you’re not sure how. But do it. And if you feel something, don’t panic. It may be nothing. Even if it is, early detection gives you great treatment options. And it could just save your life.

And for anyone facing breast cancer, Chandler said Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center provide excellent care.

“They were outstanding,” said Chandler. “They were very caring professionals. They made me feel like they cared about me. With my amazing team at Thompson’s, I am living beyond cancer, feeling great, and very grateful and blessed to see each new day.

“I thank God for them every day,” she said.

For more information on the oncology services available at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, call 865-673-FORT.

Steady advice about breast cancer Media headlines are full of conflicting information about when and how often women should be screened for breast cancer. Several recent studies have questioned the effectiveness of annual mammograms and monthly breast self-exam (BSE).

But the medical community is not in agreement. The bottom line is that more research needs to be done to determine why some breast tumors are so much more aggressive than others.

In the meantime, most physicians say they advocate for traditional screening schedules.

“We support the recommendation of the American Cancer Society and the American College of Radiology that a woman over the age of 40 should have annual mammograms. And, they should know how their breasts look and feel normally and report any changes,” said Fort Sanders radiologist Dr. Gayle Roulier.

A very crafty woman

Gladys Glad Gl adys ys D Davis avis av is o off Fo Foun Fountain unta taiin in City just can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning and start on her latest project.

Sometimes it’s very early in the morning, practically the middle of the night. “What am I going to do, lie there counting sheep?� asks Gladys, who usually clocks her nightly sack time at four hours or less. “There’s so much to do! I quit counting sheep a long time ago.�

Gladys Davis is 92.

Her all-consuming passion is handiwork of all types – many that you’ve probably never heard of.

Her specialty is bobbin lace. “It’s a very old art,� she says, as she gently manipulates delicate threads into an intricate pattern. “Hardly anyone does this anymore. It’s very slow. I used to teach it, and at one time I had about 30 pupils.�

Born in Webster, S.D., Gladys and her family moved to Burbank, Calif., when she was eight in order for her father – a Norwegian immigrant – to continue his work building airplane propellers. “One day a 90-year-old Belgian woman came to my school in North Hollywood and offered to teach lessons in bobbin lace for free. I’ve always liked anything that had to do with crafts, so I signed up. “I made a yard of lace in that first class. What my mother did with it, I don’t know. I’ve looked for it. I’d like to have it.�

Her ingenuity with her hands took other forms, too. “I got an apple crate and attached old metal skates to it. Then I had a homemade scooter! All the neighborhood boys were jealous.�

Carol Zinavage A finished piece of bobbin lace, made into a medallion

Carol’s Corner One of those boys – Carl Davis, a Tennessean who occasionally visited his uncle in the house next to Gladys’ family – took note of that very special gal. “Carl would come over to visit,� she says with a twinkle in her eye. “It took him three weeks to convince me that I had to come back to Tennessee with him.�

The couple eloped, but “I didn’t tell anybody – I was afraid it would be a bad influence for the teenagers.�

Carl soon began his 30year career as an electrician for KUB. Meanwhile, Gladys got busy at the craft table.

And stayed busy.

She’s an expert at a seemingly endless list of crafts.

In addition to bobbin lace, she does smocking and sewing, porcelain doll-making, rosemaling (Scandinavian painted-flower art,) bookbinding, hardanger (Scandinavian) embroidery and scratchboard, but her capacity for creativity is boundless. Coming across several old unwanted wooden cigar boxes, Gladys made handdecorated, meticulously organized sewing kits out of them.

Her studio in the home she shares with her son and his wife is bursting with examples of her creativity, and she sees artistic potential everywhere she looks.

Gladys Davis demonstrates the craft of bobbin lace.

The setup includes wooden bobbins, a pillow and straight pins.

“My son brought me this rock,� she says, “and he asked, ‘Mom, what can you do with this?’ I said ‘That’s an Indian moccasin if ever I saw one.’ “I’m into colored pencils right now,� she continues, displaying containers full of the brightly-colored implements, “and of course I’ve got a computer and printer.

I like to use those for designing greeting cards.�

She briefly tried selling

her wares years ago, but soon discovered that “people weren’t willing to pay me for my work. So I decided they can do without it!�

Is there anything she can’t do? “Well,� she says with a grin, “I never could keep house worth a darn.�

But that hardly matters. “My goodness,� she says, as she heads toward her current bobbin lace project, “I’ve got so much to do!�

Call me today so I can explain the steps you need to take to meet the application deadline and ensure you’re locked into the current program structure.
