Plans unveiled for Broadway Corridor City officials will present the Broadway Corridor Enhancement Plan at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, at St. James Episcopal Church Fellowship Hall, 1101 N. Broadway. North Broadway has potential to become a highly successful corridor connecting downtown Knoxville to Fountain City, reads the city press release. It has valuable assets such as long-standing businesses and strong neighborhoods. However, its current streetscape could be improved to benefit businesses, customers and residents. The Broadway Corridor Enhancement Plan analyzes existing conditions, assesses shortcomings, and develops solutions that can be implemented throughout the corridor and other urban corridors throughout Knoxville. All are invited.

So long, Danny

Adair Oak named state historic tree

By Jake Mabe The mystery surrounding the location of Fort Adair has been solved – somewhat – thanks to the age of a historic tree. The Adair Oak, a large, lone white oak tree located in the north section of the cemetery at Berry Lynnhurst Funeral Home on West Adair Drive in Fountain City, has been designated a Tennessee Historic Tree by the Tennessee Urban

Forestry Council. A plaque was presented to the funeral home last week by Tom Simpson, who is the state urban forester for East Tennessee and represents the forestry council. In order to be considered a historic tree, the age of the tree has to be proven. Local arborist and Fountain City resident Jim Cortese, a former TUFC president, used historical information about

Halls backs the blue is tribute to deputies By Sandra Clark

Businesses and individuals in Halls donated more than $3,600 in gift cards and cash to deputies with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office in a promotion called Halls backs the blue. Officers were invited to a buffet lunch last week at Beaver Brook Country Club. Co-president Michelle Wilson thanked the officers Rathbone for their “professionalism, judgment, leadership, bravery and sacrifice.�

The club donated $1,000 to a fund that assists officers with emergency needs. In addition, the club donated $600 ($50 per month) to sponsor the “officer of the monthâ€? recognition in 2017. Topping off the donations were over 200 gift cards for $10 for individual deputies. “This is unbelievable,â€? said Chief Lee Tramel, who accepted the gifts on behalf of the deputies. “It will mean so much to our men and women. It’s amazing what they do and the courage they display. They don’t do it for the money but because they have a servant’s heart. ‌ But it sure shows when they get

thanks.� Deputy Anthony Rathbone was a special guest of Captain Robert Hubbs, who is a board member of the Halls BPA. Rathbone had returned to work after a serious accident on I-75 near Emory Road while he was on duty. He was off work for one year. Hubbs later wrote to the board: “It sure was nice to see how much people care. The gift cards will remind officers their community is thinking of them when they do good (officer of the month) and also when things are bad. To page A-11

Bondurant to join Wall of Fame By Courtney Shea A strong work ethic and a commitment to church and community characterized the life of Jackson Keith Bondurant. He was born July 11, 1904, in Trentville, Tenn. His parents moved to Hotel Avenue in Fountain City and he attended Fountain City Grammar. His father, Joseph, died in 1918, leaving the 14-year-old J. K. (known as Keith to his family, Jack to his business associates) with considerable responsibility for his mother, Flora, and three younger sisters. His two older brothers had already left home and J.K. considered himself responsible for assisting with support of the family. At 5 a.m., he would ride the streetcar downtown, pick up newspapers, then would walk his newspaper route around Hotel Avenue before heading up the hill to his classes at Central High School. Afternoons, J.K. also delivered newspapers, still finding time to play football and baseball at Central. There is no yearbook for J.K.’s senior year: Central’s Class of 1922 voted to use the money raised for school improvements. In 1924, J.K. began as a furnace installer for Holland Furnace Co. Some months later, he was promoted to sales, and within three years, became the

general manager of the Knoxville branch of the furnace company. In 1927, his older brother Thomas (Tom) also joined Holland Furnace as a salesman in the Knoxville branch. J.K. continued to have considerable success with Holland Furnace, eventually becoming the manager of a new division based in Knoxville. Between 1933 and 1936, 10 branches were added to his district, and sales grew from about $300,000 to over $1 million. Ten more branches were added in 1937. Tom and J.K. formed a company in 1934, Bondurant Brothers Co., to act as agent for Holland Furnace, and to expand into representing a manufacturer of automatic stokers. The company’s first location was 400 West Main Street, current site of the City County Building, moving to a location on Sevier Avenue with better access to rail in the 1950s. As the Bondurant Brothers Co. business grew, it expanded into wholesale distribution of heating and air conditioning equipment, electronic equipment, appliances, and kitchen cabinets. Bondurant Brothers Co. was a part of the enormous growth in home appliances and electronics following the end of the Second World War, including huge changes in the size of consumer

electronics and appliances, as well as the evolution from black and white television to color. The business grew from a single employee to more than 40 employees in the 1980s. For more than 50 years, the brothers continued to comfortably share responsibilities: Tom as the salesman and promotor, J.K. as the detail man. In a News-Sentinel article, J.K. spoke of working with his brother for such a long period: “The fact that we have been able to live and work together in harmony is extremely unusual. We have never had any serious differences.� J.K. continued as vice president until he retired and sold his interest in the business. Central High School played a role in helping this successful businessman start a family of his own. In the early 1930s, J.K’s younger sister, Fannye Bondurant Ford, was the librarian at Central High School. She became acquainted with Evelyn Boring, who taught elocution and drama at Central and other area high schools. Through Fannye, J.K. and Evelyn met; and in 1935, the couple were married. J.K. and Evelyn moved to Farragut where the Boring family owned a large farm. J.K. Bondurant was not only a highly successful businessman but was a vi-

sionary who made many contributions that shaped his communities. In Fountain City, he assisted with the establishment of the Fountain City Water Company, served for many years as a bank director of Fountain City Bank, and was active in Fountain City United Methodist Church. He organized and served as director of the Knoxville Water Company. J.K was active with other business people in the Downtown Optimist Club. A 1991 News Sentinel article credits him with a perfect 35-year attendance record. After his move to Farragut, he helped to organize and obtain approval for the First Utility District, and for the Concord Telephone Exchange. In Farragut, he joined the Concord Methodist Church, serving in many capacities including trustee and building committee chair, assisting in the church’s growth from 100 members to over 2,000 members today. While maintaining his activities in the Downtown Optimist Club, he also was a founder of the Farragut Civic Club. At the time of his death in 1994, J.K. Bondurant had two children, daughter Barbara, married to Dr. Reuben Pelot, and son Robert Jackson, married to Donna Thompson; six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. The Central High School Foundation and CHS Alumni Association will honor this distinguished businessman and civic leader, Jackson Keith Bondurant, with his induction into the CHS “Wall of Fame� at 9 a.m. at a Breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 29.

Fighting cancer with grace Benefit car show for Megan Emehiser is Saturday Thirty-six years old, married, mother of five girls, busy as can be, Gibbs resident Megan Emehiser isn’t one to slow down. But she didn’t feel well, started hurting, got sick whenever she tried to eat or drink anything. She researched her symptoms online and thought she was having a gall bladder attack. She and her husband, Shaun, don’t have health insurance. Costs are too high. But she was hurting to the point she called the University of Tennessee Medical Center to discuss options. They suggested she visit a walk-in clinic. The doctor there told her to go immediately to the emergency room. She got to Parkwest on Aug. 16 and requested an ultrasound. Several hours later, her life changed forever. “The ER doctor said, ‘I think you’re a lot sicker than you know. Your liver is covered in tumors.’ “I sat there, astonished.� Megan has Stage IV colon cancer. It has spread to her liver and is inoperable. She’s also anemic. That night at the hospital, her blood levels were dangerously low.

The doctor said, “I’m not sure how you’re able to function, much less take care of five kids.� Megan was admitted immediately, underwent three blood transfusions and was given a bagful of iron. She woke up in a hospital room to find an oncologist waiting, who told Megan she was staying in the hospital for a liver biopsy and immediate treatment. “At that point, I’m still trying to process all of this. I have yet to say, ‘I have cancer.’ But God provided and just keeps making a way.� Megan has gotten assistance paying for cancerfighting drugs and partial help paying for doctors’ services. But the bills are still astronomical, and the family is in need. Longtime friends Jeff and Lisa Ogle have organized a benefit car show and vendor/yard sale for Megan, which will be held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sat-

The Revvin’ for Megan car show and vendor/yard sale is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at Fairview Baptist Church, 7424 Fairview Road off East Emory Road. Preregistration is $15 before 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28. Registration on Oct. 29 is $20 at 8:30 a.m. Judging begins

Burchett turned out a crowd for a ceremonial “big check� event for a state recreation grant which was announced almost a year ago. Prominent in the press release was the name Eddie Smith.

urday, Oct. 29, at Fairview Baptist Church in Gibbs. “She always puts others first,� Lisa Ogle says, “to the point you’d think she has divided herself for her five girls, her husband and anyone else who needed her.� Megan refuses to complain. “This is part of God’s plan,� she says. “If I can help another person or raise awareness, or if nothing else, I want to let people know that cancer has no respect for gender, age or anything.� She says she can’t thank people enough for what she and her family have been given. “You touch people’s lives that you don’t even know. We moved to Gibbs three years ago. We haven’t been here our whole lives, but people have stepped up to help us.� Megan will undergo chemotherapy treatment every two weeks for at least six months. Her tumor count initially was 23,500. As of last week, it was 3,000 after four treatments. The treatment itself is so aggressive that it causes pain. At first, she could hardly stand, sit or twist, because the pain was radiating from her liver

Oct. 21: WBIR-TV showed footage of Smith at the Fulton High game, presenting a ceremonial street sign. Detecting a pattern? Goodness knows what will happen this week. And while Eddie Smith is a safe vote for the governor and the GOP majority, he’s not noted for any special legislative brilliance. Why are the governor and those he influences aligned against Gloria Johnson?

Perhaps it’s because she is strongly opposed to outsourcing the jobs of career employees at UT. Maybe it’s because she gets the broader battle over charter schools and vouchers and stands firmly on the side of public education. Maybe it’s just because she’s a Democrat in a state that seeks to be “Red to the Roots.� One-party rule is dangerous. It was bad for Tennessee for 100 years until Republicans started clawing back in the 1970s following the

statewide elections of Howard Baker, then Bill Brock and Winfield Dunn. This writer was there then and stood with the insurgents.

Cortese then measured the diameter of the current tree with a person, in this case Dr. John Tumblin (Jim’s brother) standing beside it. The average human head is 6.5 inches in diameter, and Cortese found the tree is 21 millimeters in diameter. He compared that to a 1926 photograph, in which the head of a person standing in front of the tree measured 5 inches in diameter, and the tree was then 23 millimeters in diameter. Based on that information and using the same algebraic equation, Cortese determined the tree was planted in 1803. Finally, he used the average diameters of six white oak trees his firm cut down in the 1990s and ultimately concluded the Adair Oak would have been a seedling when Fort Adair was built in 1788. Jim Tumblin says the fort “supplied protection and provisions for the Cumberland Guard and pioneer settlers who were passing through East Tennessee on their way to settlements near Fort Nashboro (present-day Nashville).� “By recognizing the tree, I hope that it will improve its chance of survival for several more generations, educate the public on the historic site and bring some glory to the cemetery as curators,� Cortese said. Berry Lynnhurst general manager Keah Deal said

the historic tree designation “means everything� to the funeral home. “We sit on Fort Adair as far as we are concerned,� Deal said. “John Adair’s burial site is here, and we’re honored to have the tree on this property and be the guardians and caretakers of it.� Deal also said the funeral home will soon be working with Cortese to replace dying trees and, with some location restrictions, offer opportunities for families with loved ones buried at the cemetery to become involved in the program. As happy as he is about the age discovery and the state recognition of the tree, Tumblin doesn’t think the actual location of Fort Adair will ever be solved. “Until I found a quote from Kate White in the Knoxville Sentinel when she interviewed John Adair’s great-grandson James Harvey Smith in 1923, I always thought the fort had been on high ground. It was probably closer to the (former) Ruby Tuesday location, but it’s still a mystery in my mind. “If only trees could talk.� Tumblin’s book, “Fountain City: People Who Made a Difference,� contains a chapter about John Adair and is available at Pratt’s Country Store, Page Fountain City Pharmacy and at the East Tennessee History Center’s bookstore downtown.

Now Republicans have a supermajority and are looking for more. The District 13 race will be the county’s closest on Nov. 8. Gov.

Haslam has made it about him. He’s not for Donald Trump, but he’s all in for Eddie. We’ll see soon how that plays out.

government Burchett sniffs out truth on Hoffa Everybody knows about Tim Burchett and Big Foot. And Tim Burchett and metal detecting and Tim Burchett and motorcycles and Tim Burchett and World War II history (he lost an uncle in Europe and his dad, Charlie, fought in the Pacific). Tim Burchett is interested in a lot of stuff. But Tim Burchett and Jimmy Hoffa? Who knew? Turns out the Knox County mayor has harbored a long and abiding interest in the union strong man whose 1975 disappearance has spawned decades of rumors and conspiracy theories. Contrary to myth, Burchett says there’s no mystery about what really happened to the legendary Teamster boss. He says it was a clean, clinical, classic mob hit. “All those legends like the one about burying him under Giants Stadium? Stupid. They (organized crime) kill people for a living. He was shot in the back of the head and cremated within an hour.” Last week, Burchett was the featured book reviewer at the East Tennessee History Center’s “Books Sandwiched In,” sponsored by the Friends of the Library. The book he chose was, “I Heard You Paint Houses,” by former Las Vegas prosecutor Charles Brandt. It is the story of Frank “the Irishman” Sheeran, a mobster and a longtime Hoffa friend who decided to clear his conscience with a death-bed confession that he was the one who pumped two bullets into Hoffa’s skull on July 30, 1975. He said Hoffa’s body was taken to a local funeral home and deposited into an incinerator. The book’s title came from Sheeran’s account of the first thing Hoffa ever said to him, “I heard you paint houses” – mobsterese for the way blood splatters the walls and floors when someone is shot in the head at close range. Sheeran worked for East Coast Mafia boss Russell Bufalino, a business associate of Hoffa’s

Betty Bean with connections to the Las Vegas casino business. Sheeran told Brandt that his response to Hoffa was, “Yeah, and I do carpentry, too,” meaning that he knew how to dispose of corpses. Hoffa was elected president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 1958 and became the most powerful figure in organized labor. He ran into a streak of bad luck in 1964 when he was convicted of jury tampering (and a long list of other offenses) and sentenced to 13 years in federal prison. He stayed on as president until 1971 when he resigned as part of a pardon deal with the Nixon administration (that also involved a bribe that Sheeran claimed to have delivered to Attorney General John Mitchell). When he got sprung, Hoffa was dismayed to learn that the deal barred him from getting his job back, and he started working to undermine it. Which led to his sudden demise. Filmmaker Martin Scorsese has optioned “I Heard You Paint Houses,” and Burchett is looking forward to the movie. He believes Sheeran’s story. “He was clearing his conscience before he died,” Burchett said. Burchett, a tee-totaling nonsmoker whose favorite epithet is dadgummit, says he can identify with Mafia stories like this one (and fictional accounts like “The Godfather” and “The Sopranos”). “I wanted to be the honest Don Corleone, to help people – without the bad stuff. I’d see that with my dad. People would come see him; he’d make a call and take care of it. “Hoffa genuinely cared about working people and made sure they were taken are of. And they loved him for it. He could have shut the country down.”

Alvin Nance seeks old job Alvin Nance, former executive director of KCDC who left to work for Lawler Wood Housing Partners, has applied for his old job back at Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation as Art Cate is retiring as director. Nance will have to compete with at least 38 other applicants, and the process will likely go into 2017. If he prevails, this will be the first time the same person has served twice as KCDC chief. Nance was highly regarded at KCDC and would be a safe and respected choice for another tour. He would not need on-the-job training. He also would not be running for mayor in a special election in 2017 or the regular election in 2019. ■ Legislative observers are surprised at the ferocious nature of attacks between House Republicans with Democrats sitting still. Speaker Beth Harwell is blasting state Rep. Billy Spivey for his attacks on House Clerk Joe McCord and her leadership. Reps. Andy Holt and Rick Womick are attacking the speaker and the governor. Normally, a speaker would not criticize a minor House member (especially one who is retiring), which would only serve to elevate his public attention. Harwell accused Spivey of being a Jeremy Durham supporter when in fact he is not. She would have been better advised to have downplayed

Victor Ashe

the accusations and said where the actual charges stood as opposed to a heavy attack on Spivey himself. It achieved little for her record of calm, reason and stability. House Republicans have created a circular firing squad with these frequent attacks. Harwell is not a Ned McWherter, Jimmy Naifeh or Ron Ramsey in her speakership. She is more like Gov. Bill Haslam and less given to cracking the whip on dissident members. She will likely win reelection to her Nashville House seat but also faces a serious opponent in Jimmy Matlock for her Speaker post. Her problem is that her House district is moderate and her House caucus is much more conservative, making it very difficult for her to represent both at the same time. ■ The Gloria Johnson/Eddie Smith race for state representative is hot and both are going all out. Smith is linking himself to U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan and Haslam. Both have appeared for him, along with U.S. Rep. Diane Black, who is mentioned as a candi-

date for governor in 2018. Jim Haslam, father of Gov. Haslam, has been especially vocal in his backing for Smith. The governor has appeared in Smith TV ads. Johnson has had retired UT football coach Johnny Majors and Mayor Madeline Rogero doing appearances for her. Rogero has also assured Smith that she will be measured in her backing of Johnson and appeared with him in Sequoyah Hills’ Talahi Park last week for a check presentation. This is an attempt by Rogero to hedge her bets if Smith wins and she has to deal with him as chair of the Knox delegation for two more years. The fact is, Rogero is playing both sides on this one. ■ David Kustoff, GOP nominee for Congress in West Tennessee, benefited from a small fundraiser at Cherokee Country Club last week hosted by Duncan, Jim Haslam and developer and UT vice chair Raja Jubran. Kustoff, former U.S. Attorney, won a 13-way contest in August and is assured of winning Nov. 8. He, along with Democratic U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, are both from Shelby County. This marks the first time Tennessee has had two members of Congress who are Jewish. Cohen is a liberal Democrat while Kustoff is a conservative Republican. ■ James Corcoran, who ran a strong race for state representative against Martin Daniel, has endorsed

Daniel on the grounds “his economic policies will be better for Tennessee” than his opponent’s (Brandi Price). Corcoran and Daniel combined for 64 percent of the GOP primary vote in the West Knox County district. ■ Knoxville lost a great friend and history proponent with the death of Bud Albers, 91. A wellknown and s uc c e s s f u l businessman, Albers was an avid Bud Albers historian active in the East Tennessee Historical Society. ■ The Coffee County GOP has condemned Gov. Haslam for opposing Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for president. Coffee County is the home of Tullahoma and Manchester as well as the site of the Bonnaroo festival. Next year could be critical for the future of the festival, which sold only 45,000 tickets in 2016, down from 70,000 tickets sold in 2015. The GOP committees in Lincoln (Winchester) and Macon (Red Boiling Springs) have adopted similar resolutions. This is unprecedented. ■ Early voting has been very heavy with over 9,200 voting on the first day. Victor Ashe is a former mayor of Knoxville and U.S. Ambassador to Poland.

Show me the money By Lauren Hopson Several weeks ago, I had the privilege of witnessing the drumlines from Halls and Powell High Schools perform at the opening of the new Kroger Hopson in Powell. It was a proud moment as a parent, not only to watch my son perform and show off the results of untold hours of hard work, but to witness bands from rival schools exhibiting an air of collaboration and sportsmanship so often lacking in today’s world. An exciting moment of the event occurred when the Kroger staff presented $500 checks to the directors of each band, Eric Baumgartner and Richard Shaw. Don’t get me wrong, I was happy and appreciative that Kroger understood the need to value those programs and express it in a very tangible way. However, I couldn’t help thinking of the statistic I heard at my very first band parent meeting just over a year ago.

Apparently, our school system provides band programs across the county with just $750. Not per student. Not per game. Per year. That amount doesn’t even pay for the expenses incurred during one away game, much less music, uniforms, instruments or instrument repair. Then, I thought about how much it costs parents out-of-pocket to support their children who have musical aspirations. A parent whose child is involved in marching band and spring percussion ensemble puts out around $1,000 just so his or her kid can participate. Then I thought of the crushed dreams of the kids who don’t get to participate because they can’t afford it. Finally, I thought about the amount of money school systems are required to spend on standardized testing, computers for testing, test prep materials, and other unproven initiatives. I wondered what has happened to our priorities. We are supposed to have a system of free public education in our country so that

no student receives less of an education due to lack of ability to pay. In Knox County, we are proud that we haven’t had a tax increase in eons. Are we proud that we need a Teacher Supply Depot just to outfit classrooms with necessary supplies? Are we proud that we require working families to pay hundreds of dollars a year in class and supply fees? Yes, I know families can get waivers, but if everyone decides not to pay, then what will our children have to go without? I like to think that, over the last several years, I have helped to hold our school system accountable for how it spends money. However, we still have a lot of work to do in prioritizing how to al-

locate those funds. Do we need layer upon layer of administration, technology for 5-year-olds and expensive tests that tell teachers what we already know, or do we need to invest in the actual learning of our students? Our kids need to feel the support for their dreams in tangible ways. We can’t just support the dreams of kids going off to college to be doctors, lawyers and scientists, but also the dreams of the ones who will fi x our cars, build our homes, or perform on Broadway or at Madison Square Garden. Show me the money for that student in auto-body class or the one in the art studio. Show me the money for that kid in the drumline. Lauren Hopson is president of the Knox County Education Association.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ In case anyone cares, I’m voting for Hillary Clinton ■ Respected conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote that Trump “offered a dazzling array of reasons for disqualification: habitual mendacity, pathological nar-

cissism, profound ignorance and an astonishing dearth of basic human empathy.” I agree. ■ Krauthammer can’t vote for Hillary, though. He’s voting for Gary Johnson. – S. Clark

Glamour and heartbreak

For generations, Tennessee football has been the biggest show in town. It is a glamorous game, full house at Neyland Stadium, color, pageantry, Smokey, standing ovations, “Rocky Top” again and again – and even ESPN GameDay if excitement peaks. Fans worship the Volunteers. Have you ever been to the Vol Walk? Thousands and more renew wedding vows with the Vols each spring when they skip a car payment to buy season tickets. Lives are planned around the schedule. Memories are forever. Long run. Pick six. Eightyyard pass on the opening play. Letterman status carries all the way to obituaries. We never forget.

Danny was down and ing gear, country music, big not moving much.

Teammates grasped the gravity of the situation. They took a knee. Medical experts feared the worst, critical head or spinal injury. They called for a big board to support the big body and gingerly lifted him onto a John Deere wagon to be hauled away. That was the last we saw of Danny, 11:44 to go in the fourth quarter. There was good news at the hospital, no debilitating damage. He recovered sufficiently to fly home with the team. A few hours later, he got fired. Butch Jones said it was a violation of team rules. Butch didn’t make the decision. The penalty came down from the university. Best guess is a third failed drug test. Teammates expressed surprise and hurt. Danny was very popular. As a fifth-year

senior, he had seen it all, losses to Vanderbilt, coaching changes, seasons of hard labor, no recognition, no complaints. Danny could have been chased away earlier. On the early Sunday morning of Feb. 9, 2014, in the fallout from a loud party directed by A.J. Johnson and Dontavis Sapp, sheriff’s deputies charged Danny O’Brien O ’ B r i e n with criminal impersonation, resisting arrest and underage consumption of alcohol. The real sin was the fake ID. Jones imposed what he considered proper punishment. The court eventually dismissed the case. Danny got in trouble again in September 2015.

He was suspended. He said the correct things, that he was learning from his blunders, “partying mistakes and all that stuff,” and that he would cut out the distractions out of respect for the team. He missed two games. Finally came the straw that broke the camel’s back. Tennessee football didn’t end right for Danny O’Brien. I was sorry to see him go. Down deep, he is a good man who made bad decisions. He got a degree but gave more than he got. I liked something else. Danny’s dad, Kelly, and grandfather Phil served in the Army. Danny was proud of that. On Veterans Day, he said, “Thank you to the true heroes who defend our flag and freedom.” No question that Danny O’Brien stands for the national anthem. I like that.

Making the case for Donald Trump This election is rigged. All of it. And if Donald Trump somehow comes back to win on Election Day it will be the biggest upset since Harry Truman came back to defeat Thomas Dewey in 1948. When I write that the election is rigged, I’m not referring to the vote itself (at least not around here). Tennessee has hard-working election officials who will ensure the integrity of the ballot. This election is rigged because the national media and Democratic Party have never been so coordinated in their efforts to destroy the Republican nominee and influence the outcome of the election. The (now infamous) recorded conversation between Donald Trump and

Scott Frith

Billy Bush occurred 11 years ago, and it’s easy to speculate that NBC had that audio tape before the Republican primary. And they waited until now to use it. If NBC were a news organization, instead of a political organization, they would have released the audio prior to the primary, and Republicans (if so inclined) could have nominated someone else. NBC didn’t. They didn’t care about keeping Trump out of the White House. Republicans could have

Larry & Laura Bailey

stopped Trump in the primaries. Instead, and more revealingly, NBC waited until weeks before the general election – for maximum effect – to help put Hillary Clinton in the White House. In fact, a cynic might even say that Trump was a media-empowered Trojan horse used to destroy the Republican Party in 2016. Think about it. The purpose of these daily media frenzies isn’t just to defeat Donald Trump, but it’s also to elect Democrats to Congress. In states like Florida and Arizona, previously safe Republican incumbents like John McCain and Marco Rubio are threatened by this incessant anti-Trump media barrage. If these incumbents were to lose, and enough congressional seats switch parties in

a Clinton landslide, a President Clinton and a Democratic-controlled Congress could replace Obamacare with a single-payer health care system and remake the Supreme Court in their own liberal-corporatist image, endangering the rights of gun owners and thwarting a generation of conservative advances.

And now the only way to defeat Clinton is to elect Donald Trump. Many longtime Republicans are struggling to vote for Trump. Never have so many Republicans been so

Donald Trump may be bad for the Republican Party and the country, but Trump is the only person who can stop Hillary Clinton.

The 2016 Christ United Methodist Church Bazaar Babes are Norma Richardson, Dot Lucas, Mary Baker, Dory Norris, Millie Norris, Frances Ryan, Judy Guinn and Lou Watson. Photo by Jake Mabe

Getting crafty with the Bazaar Babes Christ Church bazaar is Nov. 5 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5. The bazaar will include a country store, Christmas crafts, a bake sale, Rada knives, white elephants, and soups and sandwiches for lunch. Norma Richardson says proceeds will go toward building a new church kitchen. The bazaar itself has been a regular event for years going back to when the church was called Halls Central United Methodist and was located on Afton Drive. But the Babes first got together 24 years ago at the current church location, organized by Lou Watson and Ethel

Merrill. The group admits that socializing is more than half the fun. “We work every Thursday morning and go to lunch after we finish,” Richardson says. “Then, after the bazaar is over, we go out to dinner. We take a little break right after the bazaar and start again.” They were busy as could be last Thursday around 10:30 a.m., arranging items, finishing projects, displaying completed crafts. Watson and Dory Norris find patterns. The Babes work in pairs or groups on various crafts. Millie Norris has created a Christmas-

themed afghan on the heels of making doll figures for the church’s fall arts and crafts fair last week. They’ve lost a few loved ones over the years. Jewell Stivers, who passed away earlier this year, worked on most of the embroidery. But the Babes carry on, still having fun, still laughing together, still enjoying every minute. “After I finish a project,” says Dot Lucas, “I say ‘hallelujah,’” she laughed, echoing the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s “Messiah.” You gotta have fun, folks. Just ask a Bazaar Babe.

Joshua has always been one of my favorite Biblical heroes. I freely admit that part of my affection for him is founded in the fact that John Derek played Joshua in Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,” and he was quite a handsome young man! (I also freely admit that was many, many years ago, when I was not yet a teenager.) In the years since, I have seen many torches passed: from generation to generation, the responsibilities, the stories, the dreams, as well as the heartbreaks and failures are handed down and remembered. They become part of who we are. What started me thinking about the passing of torches, I suppose, is the coming election. One of the most impressive aspects of our electoral system is the fact that our votes are cast, counted and recorded, and the outcome is accepted by the populace. The changing of the guard — the handing over of power — happens without warfare, and thankfully, the government goes on. We Americans are blessed to be able to choose our leaders. We all have opinions to which we are entitled, and we get to express our opinion by voting. Part of our covenant as a nation is that we accept the outcome of the election. Whether our candidate is elected or not, when the voting is over, we are still America, and so far at least, the Republic has survived. It behooves us to be involved, to be aware, to think deeply about what is at stake. And it behooves us to remember that we are “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Traditional or standardized report cards? By Kip Oswald Report cards came home last week, and grades became the hot topic of conversation in our family! While we were at our friend’s football game, I heard Mom and Aunt Becky talkKip ing about how they didn’t understand report card grades. So I asked Mom later and she explained. Mom has two friends whose kids are in fourth grade but in different schools. Both of them made an A in math, but one of them has not even started working on two- and threedigit multiplication while the other one has and is even starting division. The parents are worried that the A’s don’t really mean the same thing although they are given on the same report card. Mom’s other friend’s daughter, Lucy, goes to Gresham Middle, where she receives a report card that shows which skills she has learned and which skills she needs to work on. It is called a standards-based report card. Evidently, Mom’s friends were saying that all schools should have this type of report card. Since we had never heard of it, Kinzy and I began our researching and boy, we found a lot of information! We found that most states have specific skills students are expected to

know at each grade level and standards to show kids’ understanding of the skills. A lot of schools are changing their report cards to show how a student is doing in learning the standards. So, instead of the familiar A - F in each subject, this new report card has a number that shows whether the student has reached, exceeded or not yet met those expectations or is advanced, proficient, basic or below basic for each standard. Advanced does not equal an A on a traditional report card. For example, if I receive A’s on every math test during the semester, I would probably receive an A on a traditional report card. If those math tests measured only the concepts seventhgraders are expected to master, those A’s would be the equivalent of “proficient” on a standards-based report card; I would be doing what I should be doing, but not necessarily more. The skills-based report card keeps all kids graded on the same grade-level skills and parents can see exactly which skills and knowledge their child has learned. If Mom’s friends had gotten this k ind of report card, one kid would have been at the basic level and the other at a more proficient level. Then grades don’t vary from school to school as they can do with regular report cards. Do your own research into standards-based report cards and send your comments to oswaldsworldtn@ gmail.com

Espiritu shows principal’s other side By Sandra Clark Co-principal Susan Espiritu met with the Leaders Club at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy after school last week to discuss her experiences in Hawaii. Although she grew up in Fountain City, when she was 15 her family picked up and moved to Hawaii after a pleasant vacation there. “They sold their business and their house,” she said. After nine months, they decided to return. She met the man she would eventually marry, Charlie Espiritu, there. He was born in the Philippines but grew up in Hawaii. A great swimmer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a SEAL, she said. They’ve been married 43 years now and have three children and several grandchildren. The whole family will return to Hawaii in December to visit family there. It’s a 10-hour flight from Atlanta to Hawaii, which lies some 2,500 miles from Knoxville. Espiritu gave each kid a lei, and teacher Porscha Harris led them on a virtual tour of Hawaii via Chromebook. Ruth White and I learned more about Hawaii than we ever knew, and now Ruth wants to go for a vacation. Here’s what our junior reporters noted:

KeShawn Jackson – Men and women wear leis; they use a sling with a spear to catch fish; they eat octopus; music is the biggest thing; they play all types of sports. Hawaii is the only island with a live volcano. The Hula is a dance show story. There are no snakes, no poison ivy, no air conditioning, no alligators. There is lots of sushi, lizards and tropical birds. Ja’Maya Hollis – Their houses are not like those on the mainland. (They tend to have single wall construction without insulation because the weather is temperate. There’s no need for heating or air conditioning, although they do have fans.) Zora Freeman – Mrs. Susan Espiritu moved to Hawaii to see Hawaiian culture. She travels there by plane and returns to see her husband’s family and for the beach. Ja’Niyah Thornhill – She recalled the principal’s story about the time Charlie and his brother dived for octopus. The way to kill it is to turn the skin on its head inside out so the inky poison paralyzes the octopus. One time they brought a dead octopus up for Susan to hold and it wrapped its legs around her legs. “They could

hear me screaming at the bottom of the ocean.” The islands have snow on high mountains … no air conditioning, alligators or poison ivy. Ashaundae Bowman – They dive and fish for sea animals. They boil the fish, then eat it. Some things they eat raw. They cook pigs at a luau (a big pig buried in a hole and a little pig turned on a pole stuck through the pig) … They have a volcano and volcanic ash (black beach). Donnisha Garrett – Mrs. Espiritu’s family lives in Hawaii. They wear leis and have parties.

Gibbs High senior Chris Bradford recently signed to play basketball at Bryan College, where he received the Presidential Schola r s h ip. The Eagles center has Bradford played all four years at GHS and looks forward to his senior season on the court. Chris likes Bryan College because it’s a nice campus and he likes that it’s “in the middle of nowhere�. The coaches at the school were not only interested in Bradford as a player (he stands 6’9�) but as an individual and a student. While at Bryan, Chris plans to study criminal justice. While at Gibbs, Chris feels that he has learned to deal with multitasking and teamwork, both of which will be useful at the collegiate level. Attending the signing with Chris were his parents, Dean and Katy, and his brother, Jackson. Brother Joseph was unable to attend the special event. Also attending were friends and teammates from Gibbs.

It’s time to plant dogwoods It’s dogwood planting time in Tennessee, and Vicki Baumgartner, program manager for Dogwood Arts, has all the details. In Halls last week, Baumgartner said the Fountain City trail will be featured in 2017 with special attention to the trails in North Hills and Timberline. “You can buy trees online or from one of our nursery partners,� she said. Small, bare-root dogwoods are just $25. The festival requires a constant replenishing of new dogwoods. Baumgartner She said the average urban dogwood has a 25- to 30-year lifespan. Dogwood Arts was organized in 1955 with the first festival in 1961. Trees planted at the outset are now 60 years old, if still alive. Bazillion Blooms is a promotion, now in its eighth year, to plant 10,000 trees in 10 years. It’s on track with nearly 8,000 April-blooming, disease-resistant dogwood trees having been planted. Baumgartner joined the Dogwood Arts team in 2015, coordinating the outdoor component of programming. A graduate of UT, she has served on the Dogwood Arts board and volunteered on several committees including Bazillion Blooms and Dogwood After Dark. She served as interim director at the Knoxville Botanical Garden. She has also served on the board of Random Acts of Flowers and the French Broad Preservation Association.

Engineering and surveying by RGC By Sandra Clark The spotlight fell on Robert G. Campbell & Associates at the October meeting of the Halls Business and Professional Association. Robert Campbell, P.E., talked about the business founded by his dad, Bob Campbell. Robert said he’s lived in Halls since age 4 and he’s been in the business for 35 years. Bob Campbell worked for the Tennessee Department of Transportation for 17 years before starting the company. “He named it Volunteer Engineering but later changed the name when we got some jobs in Kentucky,� Robert Campbell said. The firm specializes in transportation and utility engineering and surveying. Campbell said land surveying had “not advanced much from the Egyptians�

, -( ,' , ' . ,.&

. -

– until lately, that is. Now his company uses drones to produce 3-dimensional images. “We have no physical interaction� with the land. The company has done over 200 TDOT projects, he said, including current work on Alcoa Highway in South Knoxville and Hwy. 33 between Halls and Maynardville. It also is designing the Schaad Road extension.

Question: “Can cavities seen as small black spots on teeth be significantly larger than they appear to be on the top of the enamel?� Answer: Yes. Decayed areas on the surface enamel of the teeth often have penetrated into the tooth to a deeper and larger extent than it appears to the eye. Enamel is the first and “harder� layer of the tooth structure, and it is more resistant to decay than the “softer� second layer of tooth structure, which is called “dentin�. Frequently the decay process creates a small entrance hole into the enamel, and

once into the “softer� dentin layer below, a bigger, cave-like cavity develops. Also, some cavities do not cause any pain or sensitivity until the decayed area has expanded near to or into the nerve of the tooth. If you have any visible cavities or dark spots on your teeth, you should contact a dental office for an examination as soon as possible.

It also works as a consultant for Hallsdale Powell Utility District and contracts with other utilities for inspection services. Construction services: “Once you design something, you want to be involved (with the project) until the end,� Campbell said. The company often works with contractors until the projects are complete. Campbell has two children, both attending Halls High School. “Halls is a great community. I’m proud to have my business here,� he said. The office is at 7523 Taggart Lane off Emory Road.

“Yesterday was a bit hard for Officer Rathbone. Coincidentally, it was almost a year to the day of his nearfatal event, and it seemed like his pain was back. He said us just acknowledging what has happened was better than any therapy he’s had. Us letting him know he isn’t alone to suffer, and that people he didn’t even know cared about him lifted his

spirits. “Rathbone was lucky he made it back. I think about another young officer (a lot) who was shot in the neck and left dying on the side of the road. “I compare your support to the numerous wires holding up the towers on Sharps Ridge. From a distance the tower looks strong and invincible.

Rural/Metro plans new north firehall By Shannon Carey Rural/Metro plans to construct a new, larger firehall on Emory Road around Tennova North during 2017. Chief Jerry Harnish said plans are firm, but the site selection is incomplete. Jeff Bagwell, a lieutenant with Rural/Metro Fire Department, spoke in October to the Halls Business and Professional Association. In an interview afterwards, Bagwell said the new firehall will be similar in design to the current Powell station. He said no station will be closed as a result of the new project. “We’ve seen a lot of growth� in the North area, he said. “Having subscribers makes it possible for us to fund capital projects.�

Although Rural/Metro has served Knox County since 1977, Bagwell said he’s shocked at the number of people “who don’t know who we are.� Knoxville residents and businesses are served by the Knoxville Fire Department, a division of city government. Residents who live in the town of Farragut or in unincorporated areas outside either municipality are served by Rural/Metro, a subscription-based company. “We receive no money from Knox County. Our funding is from subscribers.� FAQ: Why does a fire truck come when I call for an ambulance? Every fire truck is equipped to do everything an ambulance does, except transport to a hospital, Bag-

A year ago this week – the actual date was Oct. 28, 2015 – “The Rotary Guy� made his debut in The Shopper News. Most weeks it appears in all eight editions, from Halls to South Knoxville and from Union County to Farragut. The Rotary Guy was created by the publisher of The Shopper News, Sandra Clark, a professional I have known and respected since we first met many years ago. Even the name – The Rotary Guy – was her idea. I am a member and past president of the Rotary Club of Farragut and a Rotarian of 26 years. I write the weekly newsletter for my club and was a newspaperman for 35 years. Here’s how this Rotary Guy started. In September 2015 Sandra visited a Wednesday meeting of Farragut Rotary. “Hey, we need to talk after your meeting.� Then she laid out her idea for this weekly column. Every week? “Yep, every week,� she said. I wondered then – is there enough happening in these seven clubs for a weekly column? After the year it’s clear that there is – and then some. As this one-year anniversary approached, I asked Sandra how and why she created The Rotary Guy. When the Halls Shopper started a

Bearden edition, Sandra wanted to meet the “movers and shakers.� She began going to Bearden Rotary every Friday. “I met some of the best folks in town. Not only did Phil Parkey and Richard Bettis buy my lunch, but they donated $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation in my name, making me a Paul Harris Fellow,� she said. These days you can often find her at meetings of the North Knox club. “Then we launched the Farragut Shopper and you started nagging me about the abundance of Bearden Rotary news in the Farragut Shopper ... and the lack of Farragut coverage,� she said. “You were incensed. That got me thinking about The Rotary Guy. “So you and I crafted the idea of Rotary Guy. You’re a member, but you’re also a news professional. You’ve hit the perfect pitch in talking about clubs and Rotarians.� It’s an honor to be “The Rotary Guy� and to spread the news about the good work and the good Rotarians all around us. Sandra added this: “I love this column and know that others do as well. That’s why we have complaints when it’s left out of the Powell zone – and Powell doesn’t even have a Rotary Club.� It’s been a great year. The Rotary Guy thanks Rotary and Sandra Clark!

Veterans Legal Advice Clinic is Nov. 2 Sarah McAffry by the studio wall where canvasses are displayed.

Sarah McAffry: Photographer By David Hunter While looking for a story in downtown Powell, I checked out the Renaissance work being done around Emory Road and Spring Street, where the business most familiar to my generation, Groner’s Grocery, used to operate. As far as I know, nobody else has used the term, but Renaissance in its simplest definition just means “a new birth,� and that’s what’s happening in Powell and other places close by. Rather than destroy old buildings that have already had one life, Realtor Justin Bailey, whose mother, Laura, is also prominent in real estate, is putting buildings to new use, saving the architecture of a past day for the use and enjoyment of people of the 21st century. Where teenagers once bought sliced bologna and

bread for sandwiches – after sneaking off campus from Powell High School at lunchtime to shop at Groner’s Grocery – other things are now happening. One of those things is “Photography by Sarah McAffry,� located in an upstairs studio. The elegant lettering on the door, “Photography by Sarah McAffry,� says it all: A photographer plies her business from a building built long before she was born with simplicity and dignity. A photography studio with no specials advertised, and an artist letting the work posted on her studio walls speak for itself. Incidentally, all the busi-

nesses in the building are owned by women. McAffry, who grew up near her present studio, is a Powell High graduate and a graduate of the University of Te n ne s s e e . Her major was English and she taught at Powell High for six years before getting into wedding photography part-time. So how does a veteran teacher and amateur photographer become a professional with a studio in a renovated building with historic background? “The doors just started to open,� McCaffry recently told me. “Teaching English was my passion, but photography became another passion. Now I

support my family taking photographs.� Born on the cusp of Generation X and the Millennial generation, McCaffry is laid back, casually dressed in a manner envied by this old Baby Boomer, who grew up in an era that defined “casual day� as no tie for men and maybe slacks for women. Beards, long hair on men and women in jeans were forbidden. I like these new times better. In addition to portraits, including school senior portraits, McAffry is doing portraits of “older women who haven’t had a portrait made in 30 years.� Said McAffry recently, “Women who very often don’t see themselves as attractive any longer, are often amazed at how much different a good portrait is than how they actually viewed themselves.� Amen to that and a tip of

Mac McBride poses for a picture at the fall-themed photo booth during the block party.

Rick DePirro and Kevin Callis play for the crowd with the band A.M. Station. The group played great danceable oldies for those gathered at the event. Other band members not pictured are Pete Stetson and Rod Sturgeon.

Block party boasts fun, food, fellowship By Ruth White The Manor at Northgate hosted its third annual Fall Block Party and Mother Nature did her part and held off on the rain and cooler temperature. The back patio was transformed into a gathering spot for residents and members of the community as sounds of the band A.M. Station filled the air with great oldies, the grill was popping with burgers and crowds joined in the dancing and fun. Teresa Lawson, supportive services coordinator, mingled with guests and made her way to the dance floor when she wasn’t mak-

ing sure everyone else was having a good time. The event is a fundraiser for the facility with the proceeds going toward needed programs. The Greater Knoxville Sertoma Club and R. Larry Smith made sure all food was covered for the block party, stretching the proceeds even further to make a difference in the lives of residents. “Senior adults are the center of the community, they are living history,” said Lawson. “We want the neighbors to know that they are part of the community, and the block party is one way to get Manor volunteers helped serve up supper for guests.

It had been three years since Stacey Catlett’s last mammogram. That came as a surprise to her. “Time gets away,” the Pigeon Forge native says. “I didn’t realize three years had passed so fast.” Stacey, who is in treatment for invasive ductal carcinoma, acknowledges that she would have waited even longer to have a mammogram had it not been for a coworker who encouraged her to schedule one - a woman who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. “I was just busy,” Stacey says. “You neglect yourself because you do for everyone else.” Stacey had even dismissed a small lump she’d noticed in her left breast, deciding it was probably “just a cyst.” But personally knowing someone who had been diagnosed gave her the motivation she needed to make an appointment for a mammogram. Later, walking into a radiologist’s office, Stacey saw a pink bag sitting on a countertop. She could tell it was packed with information for a breast cancer patient, and she began to cry. “I already knew,” Stacey says. Richard Catlett says he doesn’t often see his wife break down like that. “She’s like a rock,” Richard says. “She’s so strong because of what she’s dealt with, so I just thought she was a little nervous, and I tried not to think about it.” Stacey still vividly remembers when she was 18 and found out her mother had leukemia. Telling her own teenaged daughter about the breast cancer diagnosis was the first and most intense of a series of physically and emotionally painful moments, known only to cancer patients. “I just tried to explain it the best I could,” says Stacey. The Catletts made a commitment to be com-
