Eagles invade Halls Gibbs pus pushes shes ffor or new middle school By Jake Mabe If it had been Election Day, building a new Gibbs Middle School would’ve won in a landslide. Gibbs residents packed the Knox Schools 2020 insight meeting at Halls Elementary last Thursday night in vocal support of building a new Gibbs Middle School. The nonprofit American Eagle Foundation was even outside the building with Mr. Lincoln the eagle, representing Gibbs’ mascot. The standing room only crowd was so large that two extra groups were added to the breakout sessions. All 10 groups named building a new Gibbs Middle as its No. 1 priority. Gibbs Middle School was closed in 1991. Students attend Holston Middle School. Participants were asked to answer three questions about Knox County Schools: What’s good? What’s not? What next? Group 6’s other two top answers were creating a teacher evaluation system that encourages and supports teachers, and, tied for third place, having more adequate use of property the school system already owns, and having the school system gain control of bus services, drivers, behavior on the bus and better communication about bus services, with particular emphasis given that bus drivers should not be allowed to use cellphones while driving. Other answers: What’s good? School teachers, holding the input meetings, principals, the new security plan, thinking forward with Common Core and after-school programs, and the superintendent. Said Gibbs resident Erin Lonas, “I think we’re lucky to have him (Dr. Jim McIntyre). He sees things with fresh eyes. I may not always agree with him but I think he knows more than I know.” What’s not? Busing students to Holston Middle, not enough time for teachers to be creative, kindergarten curriculum is too rigorous, Common Core, the new TEAM evaluation system, the timing of

City says go slow in neighborhoods By Betty Bean Most Scott Avenue residents don’t have driveways, so they park on the street. The big problem used to be caused by speeders cutting through Old North Knoxville from Central Avenue, dinging parked cars along the way. That doesn’t happen as much since the city installed the traffic calming circle at the intersection of Scott and Cornelia, says Amy Broyles, who lives a few doors west of Cornelia. The circle’s concrete curb is chipped and scarred from being run over, but it’s safer to park on the street now. Her neighbor Beth Booker showed up at the John T. O’Connor
Center for the last of a series of five meetings about neighborhood traffic problems last week and told city officials that Old North’s problems aren’t yet solved. “The traffic circle is not a panacea,” she said. “We have 16 kids under age 10 in a two-block area. Don’t lose track of us because we already have some stuff. Don’t feel like we’re done.” Jamie Rowe is tired of having cars go airborne into the field next to her house in the 4200 block of Tazewell Pike. Last month, To page 3 Aiden and Avery Parkey are two of the 16 kids who live in a two-block stretch of Scott Avenue near the traffic calming circle installed by the city of Knoxville to deter speeders.

Small sculptures in various stones and raw soapstone are part of the lessons.

The pair has been friends and collaborators since Slocum picked up a stone chisel in 1999. Their workshop was recently held at Slocum’s studio in Halls.

Steve Cox, electrician for Knox County Schools, on hand to deal with any last-minute fixes, is with cafeteria manager Tina Dyer at the new Hencredible serving display at Gresham Middle School.
Fresher, better lunches at Gresham “It’s not school lunch lunch at school,” says Jon anymore – we’re serving Dickl, school nutrition director for Knox County Schools. Gresham Middle School’s cafeteria is one of the first in the system to receive a major renovation. Crews worked over the recent fall break. Last Wednesday the all-new cafeteria was unveiled. Three large display cases allow five lines of service, presenting the Hencredible chicken line, fresh fruit, an Italian line, meat-and-three dishes and more, all appropriately lighted, heated and cooled. “Our three main goals are point of access, quality and participation. These kids have sophisticated tastes, and they will be able to enjoy fresher food in an environment they can appreciate,” says Dickl. “We’ve gone from one serving line to five. As soon as we receive and install some walk-in coolers, we will be making all of our food on site. About 60 to 70 percent was being transported from Central every day.” Dickl cited a study showing increased test scores in similar school lunch program improvements. Cafeteria manager Tina Dyer says, “This is definitely going to make life easier. And I am very impressed with the work done here. It’s beautiful. “The food is at eye level, the units are easy to clean and we’ve got more room for more variety.” Pizza fills one serving display, labeled “Gianni’s,” Knox County Schools’ pizza “brand,” touted by all present as delicious. “The pizza sauce has sweet potatoes in it, and the cheese is reduced fat. It’s really good for you,” says Wanda McCown, school nutrition field manager. The project’s price tag is $168,000, Dickl says.

A good case for government spending Paging Tim Burchett: This tale is an instance in which government spending is a good thing.
Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS Dan Stansberry was mowing his backyard about a month ago when he saw it. A large debris jam was damming up Beaver Creek near his home in Mill Run subdivision. Stansberry had read Shopper-News coverage of debris jam removal elsewhere and first called Knox County. He was told the property owner has the responsibility to remove debris jams halfway into the creek. “I explained to them that it wasn’t on my property,” Stansberry said. We looked into it. “Basically the policy is still that debris jams on private property are the responsibility of the homeowners involved,” says Knox County watershed coordinator Roy Arthur. “In Beaver Creek, we are only removing debris jams in areas that have the potential to be a navigable waterway. We have no plans to remove debris jams above Maynardville Highway. That includes Mill Run.” “The Fort Loudoun Lake Association will remove debris jams on private property for a fee,” says the organization’s executive director, Angela Howard. “This service is available anywhere in Knox County.” The Association is a nonprofit organization supported by people dedicated to giving people who live, work and recreate on or near Fort Loudoun Lake an opportunity to protect and enhance the economic benefits and
This debris jam has formed in Beaver Creek near Dan Stansberry’s home. Photo by Jake Mabe quality of life value of clean water. “Contact us at 865-5233800, visit us at fllake.org, or e-mail me directly at angela@fllake.org.” Knox County Engineering and Public Works senior director Dwight Van de Vate says, “As much we would like to help everyone who has issues with debris jams on the creek, that simply isn’t possible with the staff and resources we have.” Van de Vate’s sentiment is echoed by county stormwater management director Chris Granju. “Debris jam removal would be a benefit to Knox County and is an activity that would work well to help further goals of reducing instream sedimentation (by reducing erosion), reducing incidents of localized flooding, encouraging community knowledge and involvement in watershed issues, and promoting education about stream maintenance. “However, doing so in a purposeful and countywide manner would be a very costly endeavor requiring dedicated funding not available at this time.” ■

a man was killed in a one-car crash two blocks west. “People just don’t realize the road is narrow through there. The speed limit’s 40, and I still think it’s too high,” she said. “They’re going 60-65. We had a car hit an ambulance in July. They fly through there and pass on the yellow line.” Some 50 residents of a dozen city neighborhoods, including Island Home, Edgewood Park, Lonsdale, Linden Avenue, Fairmont, Delrose Drive and Parkridge, joined Rowe and Booker at the meeting to have their say. Their suggestions, along with those gleaned from the other four meetings, will be passed on to members of Mayor Madeline Rogero’s staff, who will develop a residential traffic safety policy to be published before the 2014 budget hearings. “Mayor Rogero pledged to do a top-tobottom review of the city’s traffic calming policy,” said Office of Neighborhoods director David Massey. “Our definition of traffic calming is the attempt to slow or reduce motor vehicle devices through neighbor-
hoods to increase road safety and allow for more livable communities.” Traffic engineer Bill Cole explained that the city stopped installing “physical” devices like traffic circles and speed humps due to cost ($10,000 for a circle, $3,000 to 5,000 for a hump) and access problems. He said the city stopped installing them in 2008 in favor of “E&E” (Education and Enforcement) programs including signage and lower-cost devices like rumble strips plus off-duty police officers with radar guns. East Knoxville resident Evelyn Gill said she hasn’t had much luck contacting 311, and asked for stepped-up traffic enforcement in the neighborhoods between Magnolia and Five Points. Massey referred the audience to the city’s web site, cityofknoxville.org/ development/neighborhoods/ trafficcalming. Immediate complaints may be reported to Knoxville Police Department Lt. Ron Green at 215-7517 or dgreen@cityofknoxville.org; or to David Massey, 215-3232.

government Is the honeymoon over for Burchett/Rogero? Tim Burchett and Madeline Rogero aren’t like peas and carrots anymore.
Betty Bean Burchett has taken on a combative tone, challenging Rogero’s opposition to the James White Parkway extension and accusing her of excluding the public from the process, causing old-timers among the local press corps to recall the glory days when County Executive Dwight Kessel’s brawls with Mayor Victor Ashe were going the length of the bar and into the street. Hot damn! Could we be returning to a time when we never had to look hard for a government story? Probably not. These are two exceptionally canny politicos. Republican Burchett says Rogero’s his friend. Democrat Rogero says she’s looking forward to continuing their cooperative relationship. Rogero was elected Knoxville mayor in 2011. Burchett was elected county mayor in 2010 and openly supported Rogero in the nonpartisan city election, unlike most local Republicans, who were for Ivan Harmon in the primary and Democrat Mark Padgett after he got enough votes to force Rogero into a general election battle. Padgett made an open appeal for Republican votes, portraying himself as the conservative, businessfriendly alternative to the Cesar Chavez-loving Rogero (commonly referred to as “That Woman” by Padgett/ Harmon supporters who usually finished the sentence with the declaration “…scares me to death”). Burchett’s personal popularity and solid conservative credentials allowed him to safely buck the trend and let it be known that he was down with Team Rogero. It probably got Rogero some votes. But despite disclaimers to the contrary, the recent rough patch between the
Madeline Rogero and Tim Burchett share a Hollerpalooza moment in 2011.
two mayors isn’t just a one-off disagreement. Burchett followed up his JWP outburst with a sideways swipe at the city’s $22 million Baptist Hospital Tax Increment Financing deal, hinting that he might ask County Commission to delay its TIF vote so he could study the matter (both city and county tax revenues are at stake, so the county legislative body must approve such arrangements). He didn’t follow through, but he got the city administration’s attention. Opposing Rogero’s biggest development project to date would have caused more fireworks than Boomsday. Another potential dispute is brewing over what to do with county-owned Historic Knoxville High School. City redevelopment director Bob Whetsel, a member of the committee that evaluated developers’ proposals, lives in Historic 4th & Gill, center of opposition to the county plan to convert the iconic building into senior citizens’ housing. Rogero declined to comment, calling Knoxville High redevelopment a county matter. Burchett, though clearly irritated by criticism of the county plan, deflects questions with signature humor – “You got two big kids on the block and they’re gonna bump heads. I’m a big picture kind of guy. I have a lot of vision.” It’s not Dwight/Victorlevel fireworks, but it’s not all bluebirds and Bubble Up between the offices on the opposite ends of the 6th floor, either. So old reporters have reason to hope.

Hopecote is second Staub house Only two John Staub homes exist in Knoxville, and the University of Tennessee owns both. One is Hopecote, an English Cotswold cottage-type home at 1820 Melrose Avenue. The other is the much more formal home of the late Eugenia Williams at 4848 Lyons View Pike next to UT Trustee Charles Anderson and two houses east of James A. Haslam III, older brother of Gov. Bill Haslam. Hopecote was built in 1924 and is used by the university as a guest house. The Williams home was built in 1940 and has not been used by UT for anything since its acquisition in 1998. Staub designed Hopecote for his aunt, Mrs. Albert Hope. Having grown up at 1811 Melrose Avenue from 1945 to 1961, I knew the Hopecote house and even delivered the News Sentinel there (then an afternoon newspaper). My family home is still standing, used as the Baptist Student Center. Both Staub homes have been in influential neighborhoods at one time or the other. Before the university moved into the Melrose Avenue area, the neighborhood was populated by well-known Knoxville families. Matthew McClellan, who owns MS McClellan’s, grew up on Melrose next to this writer. Former Mayor Kyle Testerman grew up here and other residents included attorney Charles Seymour, grandfather of Arthur G. Seymour Jr., businessmen Ed McMillan and Ed Ashe. Loye Miller, editor of the News Sentinel, lived in the area, along with
Victor Ashe
Cliff Pettit of Pettit Motors. Melrose Hall, which had been built in the 1850s and used by both Union and Confederate soldiers, was across from the Seymour home. The university, which has often had little regard for historic homes, demolished this Civil War era home to construct Hess Hall, which has to rank as one of the university’s least attractive buildings. The Ed McMillan home was acquired with the owner thinking it would become the UT president’s home, but that understanding was based on a handshake which was quickly forgotten as it too was hit by the wrecking ball. McMillan was president of Standard Knitting Mills. Last week I visited Hopecote, where I was met by five persons including Whitney Heins, media coordinator for Margie Nichols, Justin Dothard, Terry Ledford, Frank Cuevas and Garry Stinnett, Hopecote caretaker. It can house up to six guests at one time in three rooms. Stinnett has been there since 1990. The university bought the home in 1976 for $149,500. Stinnett said the most unusual experience he had was finding a guest deceased one morning in her room. The longest-staying guest was Kelly Brown, a
professor from Florida who stayed three months as she monitored the work of UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek. Stinnett keeps the house going and maintained. In the 2012 academic year, 41 guests stayed for 202 nights. This academic year has seen 34 guests for 118 nights. He said the best-known guest was Alvin Poussaint, who is a psychiatry professor at Harvard with an emphasis on African-Americans. In 2008-2009, more than $200,000 was spent for renovation, new furniture, a patio and landscaping. The prior furniture is in storage at the UT warehouse. Yet money is hard to find to stabilize the Williams house. There are three bedrooms with one being a master bedroom with an attached bath. The other two rooms share a bath. One has a queen bed and the other has twin beds. Room rates are $40 a night for a single room and $50 for the double bedroom. Non-university groups may rent the downstairs and outside patio for $150 for events. However, with a ban on street parking on Melrose, it is hard to determine where guests would park for a reception or wedding. Annual maintenance is around $33,000 plus a $25,000 salary for the caretaker who also lives at the house. The salary seems quite modest. Usage is on the low side compared to what it can be. As long as one pays the going rate, it seems that virtually anyone can overnight there with an approved uni-

The contrast with the care given to this Staub building and the other Staub house (the Williams home) is striking and painful to observe. ■ Progress on Fort Kid It may be too early to suggest Fort Kid will escape the wrecking ball, but Mayor Rogero has a meeting this week with Fort Kid founder Beth Waters, who oversees the $65,000 private trust fund. The meeting at Fort Kid represents a continuing discussion. Hopefully, the city will accept the use of these funds and restore the fort to its original status, when it was built in 1991 in five days. The city removed any mention of Fort Kid from its recreation brochure, enclosed in the News Sentinel recently at a cost just under $10,000.
The week the wheels rolled off At Karns High School on Oct. 21, when Shelby Berkley sang Willie Nelson’s “Blue Skies,” I turned to Superintendent Jim McIntyre on the front row and said, “He’s singing your song!” To his credit, McIntyre laughed. He then jumped to his feet to lead a standing ovation for the music students of Caryn Marlowe who had stayed late to entertain those of us attending the school system’s fourth of six Insight Sessions. But it’s more like gray skies ahead for McIntyre as teachers are following the lead of Lauren Hopson and speaking out at Insight Sessions and meetings with school board members. If teachers don’t advocate for best practices, who will? And teachers know that we’ve gone way overboard on testing and evaluations. We’re weighing the hogs rather than feeding them and then wondering why they won’t fatten up. This conversation will get shriller until something gives.

What a difference a year makes Missouri, SEC East leader, wrong had or was. Pinkel is the surprise of the season. and critics were staring at the leftover shadow of a serious driving violation, an expensive divorce after 40 years of marriage, entirely too many Tiger injuries and Marvin a terrible experience (42-0 West at halftime) at Texas A&M. In retrospect, Derek Dooley and Tyler Bray probably preserved Pinkel as we At the end of 2012, there know him – in the fourth was talk of firing the coach overtime at beautiful Neyof the Tigers, Gary Robin land Stadium. That bad last year ended Pinkel. He was said to be with monumental unrest at distant, distressed, distracted, discombobulated Missouri. Fans, spoiled by success, wanted immediate and disengaged. (All those words came change. Pinkel emphatically directly from the famous declared his stuff would school of journalism at Co- work. Athletic director Mike Alden responded with firm lumbia, Mo.) Everything that could go words like “urgency” and
“accountability.” What difference does a year make? Pinkel has vaulted from 5-7 and job jeopardy to a nomination for coach of the year, from hot seat to hot attraction, suddenly blessed with fresh intensity and positive energy. Better beware, Tennessee. Missouri has endured fewer injuries than before but is again without star quarterback James Franklin. Pinkel’s solution creates an interesting comparison. If all redshirt freshman quarterbacks were created equal, development is undoubtedly the difference we see. Case in point: Nathan Peterman and Maty Mauk.
Williams to be inducted into CHS Wall of Fame By Jamie Rowe Sylvia Blankenship Williams has enriched her community as one of the creative forces responsible for the succ e s s f u l Fountain City Art Center. Sylvia Williams She will be inducted into the Central High School Wall of Fame on Saturday, Nov. 2, at Central High. Sylvia was born July 11, 1952, in Knoxville, the oldest of four children born to Dr. James L. Blankenship, a nuclear physicist, and Jamie Gillenwaters Blankenship. Her 5th grade teacher at Spring Hill Elementary, JoAnne Wade, was the first person to encourage her pursuit of art. Her education continued at Fountain City Elementary, then Central High. In high school, she was active in Junior and Senior Honor Society, Beta Club, French Club, chorus, student library staff, and Y-Teens. She became the Central annual staff artist and headed the committee to create backdrops and props for the Central choral production of “The Wizard of Oz.” She also met her future husband, artist Charles Williams Jr., while washing paint brushes in art class. After graduation in 1970, she attended Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Va., receiving a degree in French literature. The college’s Junior Year Abroad program allowed her to spend a year in Paris. She returned to Knoxville, married Charles and attended the UT for certification to teach K-12. Two professors recommended her for graduate studies in the French department with a teaching assistantship. Obtaining her master’s degree in French was too enticing to ignore. After achieving her master’s in 1976, she began 10 years of teaching at Gresham Middle School, including three levels of French, as well as English, Reading Enrichment and English grammar. Additionally, she was sponsor of Y-Teens and French Club, and director of both the annual spelling bee and Awards Day. She became a full-time mom to her two children, Chuck and Olivia, then reentered education, writing and instructing high school French courses for UT’s Center for Extended Learning. From 1993-98, she was a French instructor at Pellissippi State. In 2001, Sylvia became involved with an area artist
organization, the Fountain City Art Guild. She proposed creating a nonprofit art center. In October 2004, that dream was realized in the old Fountain City Branch Library building on Hotel Avenue. Months before receiving keys to the property, Sylvia formed a board of 21 community leaders and artists and enrolled 150 Art Center members. Sylvia served as volunteer director from the beginning. In 2005, the board asked her to serve as executive director with a salary, a position
she still holds. The art center offers 20 classes or workshops at any given time. Additionally, the center has exhibits, summer art camp classes for youth, five or six major art-related events, and works with other organizations in the region to promote the arts. She has original, innovative ideas for well-attended events such as the annual garden party, Art-a-Palooza and Murder Mysteries at Halloween. Sylvia is proud of her
Nathan was the victim of Butch Jones’ failed experiment at Florida. He was the Tennessee brick that broke. Mauk was plug and play at Missouri. When Franklin went down against Georgia, Mauk looked surprisingly comfortable as the emergency replacement. A week later, Mauk directed a victory over Florida. OK, those were not exactly the same Gators who ate Peterman alive. And, perhaps the Missouri offensive line did better in support of Mauk than did the highly regarded Volunteers on behalf of Peterman. (It is highly unlikely that both lines are the best in the Southeastern Conference). The difference in red-
family – her husband, two children, and two grandchildren as well as her parents. She said the best part of being inducted into the Central High Wall of Fame is “being on the same wall with my father, Dr. James Blankenship, (a 2007 inductee) a great scientist, father, and a man of charitable deeds.” The 12th annual CHS Wall of Fame Breakfast will be held at the Central High School Commons at 9 a.m. Nov. 2. The ceremony will follow in the school auditorium. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Central High office. Call R. Larry Smith (922-5433) or the school office (689-1400) for more info. Other inductees are C.E. Harris and Stephen Land.
shirt freshman quarterbacks goes back to high school. Mauk was a Parade All-American and two-time Gatorade Player of the Year at Kenton, Ohio. He broke national prep career records for passing yards, completions, touchdowns and total offense. Mauk’s senior stats were awesome: 5,413 passing yards and 68 touchdowns, 1,768 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns. It seems the numbers mattered. His father was his high school coach. The dad allowed the son to keep playing in his final home game, a 74-22 rout. Mauk finished the evening 27-for-29 for 505 yards and nine touchdowns!
Peterman, Florida 6-A player of the year, threw for 2,972 yards and 35 touchdowns as a senior at Bartram Trail High in St. Johns. He ran for 319 yards and five touchdowns. Nathan’s dad is a pastor. Missouri beat Michigan, Notre Dame, Illinois, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati for Mauk’s signature and services. Nathan was thinking Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Cincinnati before Tennessee offered a scholarship. Indeed, Coach Jones had been vigorously recruiting Peterman and Mauk for the Bearcats. Maty’s brother Ben played at Cincinnati. Peterman, recovering from a fractured hand, does not project as a Saturday factor. Mauk is the young man for the Vols to beat.

Halloween of yesteryear One thing I have noticed during the past few Halloweens is that trick-or-treaters are on the decline. I can remember not so long ago they arrived by school bus, and when you opened the door your treats were wiped out in less than a minute. The decline can be partially attributed to church and civic club sponsored events that include various competitions and other wholesome activities that keep the kids off the street and out of harm’s way. But in Old Concord, Halloween was nothing like today’s version. First, there was no door-to-door trick or treat activity because the treat aspect was not an

option. Oh, there were the more benign tricks such as writing on windows with a bar of soap, or perhaps a busted pumpkin on someone’s front porch, but these pranks usually involved the younger kids. The real tricks began in the wee hours of the morning and often involved pranksters in their late teens or even early 20s. Most families in the Village had outdoor privies,
and these were fair game for pranksters. If you had an outhouse, Halloween could become an all-night vigil to prevent it from being turned over or even moved to your front yard. I distinctly remember my father, a telegrapher for the Southern Railroad, going to the office one morning after Halloween to find a prominent outhouse sitting on top of the depot. He called railroad maintenance, which removed it with a crane, but it remains a mystery as to how the pranksters were able to hoist it on the roof. Not many people in the Village had garages, and cars parked in driveways or on the street gave most
pranksters an irresistible temptation. So, in addition to having your privy moved to the front yard, you also had to worry about finding your car on blocks the next morning with the wheels piled on top of the car. Fortunately, we never found our car on blocks, and some people noticed that fact. That led some to think that I was involved in the pranks, but that was not the case. I guess we were just lucky. Another favorite activity for younger kids was answering a dare, and one of those dares was to go to the old Masonic Hall and walk around the place slowly three times. Now, this old building already had a reputation of being haunted, and when you consider it was sitting in a cemetery, this made the dare even

Bonnie With a break from the Peters authors’ tent, I made my way up the hill. An older man with a long beard was sitting there and looked the part.

Justin Burke, keeper of the Folk Ways in Hardin Valley, and he didn’t cook – his wife did. I soon decided I’d struck out and went back to the authors’ tent. An hour or so later I looked by the tent again and there was the mountain man. Back up the hill I went. I asked, “Are you the person who lives in a tipi in the mountains?” “Yes, I’m Justin Burke. I live in a 20 x 20 foot tipi at Boone, N.C.” He had bought his winter’s supply of cushaw, pumpkin, butternut squash, etc. at Walton’s.

more of a challenge. But I can remember taking that dare, and on the second trip around, I encountered a “ghost” in a white sheet making mournful sounds. I never finished the third trip around, but I did outrun the ghost who turned out to be one of the older pranksters. For the younger kids, nine o’clock was usually curfew time, and you had the option of either sitting on the front porch guarding your pumpkin or peering out the window to try to see other activities. And of course, the radio programs always ran a special feature on Halloween. The one I remember in particular was the “creaking door.” And a ghostly voice would say, “Come on in. No one knows what’s behind the creaking door.”
Halloween 60 years ago was not the commercial event that it is now. Today, Halloween outfits began making their appearance in stores at least a month before the big event. And the creativity of these costumes is laudable, but I cannot remember ever having a Halloween costume. In fact, I don’t remember ever seeing such a costume in a store, and certainly not the stores in Old Concord. And while it’s nostalgic to remember how Halloween was once celebrated, the planned activities of churches and civic groups today offer kids more wholesome entertainment in a controlled environment. That can only be a better choice for their well-being than it was in Old Concord 60 years ago.
and skillets. He doesn’t own a Dutch oven. He had once cooked a coyote at the request of the park service. He is a young, self-employed blacksmith, bark basket maker, leather worker and knife sharpener. Jim Clayborn, who had stopped by to visit with Justin and his grandmother who came over with him, says Burke is a better knife sharpener than 80-yearolds who have sharpened knives for 60-plus years. Justin uses a diamond hone. He teaches classes in blacksmithing, bark baskets and leather working at the John C. Campbell Folk School near Boone, N.C. Justin is indeed an interesting and gifted young man who is gaining worldwide recognition. Fifteen foreign countries were represented at the Homecoming. I learned that the gentleman of a certain age I had spoken with earlier is Jim
Stafford, who is fondly known as the “Mayor of Hardin Valley. He saw an empty chair and had taken advantage of it for a little while until Justin returned. ■
2013 Persimmon Weather Predictor
I was asked by several at the homecoming what the persimmons were saying about the coming winter. I had to say I didn’t have any persimmons on my trees this year, so Ellen Perry brought me some. First, these persimmons were much larger than usual, but the seeds were much smaller than I can remember seeing before. I cut open several seeds and only one had the imprint of a spoon (mild winter). The others had a knife (hard, cold, icy winter). I don’t know about the persimmons, but, if frost on my roof is any indication, we’re in for a humdinger.

Beeler is new youth pastor at Central Baptist By Cindy Taylor Josh Beeler has been named associated pastor of youth and college at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City. He said his approach is twofold. “First, I will seek to meet them where they are and help them walk with Christ through the unique challenges they face at this stage of their development and spiritual journey,� he said. “Secondly, my goal is to avoid isolation. It is important to have space to claim your faith and work out Christianity – but it is also important for young people to know they do not walk this journey alone and they will not be adolescents forever.� A graduate of Old Dominion University, Beeler has a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a master’s degree in divinity from Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond.
Josh Beeler
Even with these impressive accomplishments Beeler says he still searches for creative ways to never stop being a kid – such as disc golf, ultimate Frisbee and playing guitar. Beeler said it is important for church youth to have opportunities to interact with adults in order to mature and live their lives in fellowship with Jesus. He

also said he and wife Sherry are loving their time in East Tennessee. “After we married more than two years ago we retreated to the mountains as much as we could. When I received the call to serve in Knoxville, it was a welcome surprise. The church members and staff at CBC are a loving, light-hearted people. This makes adjusting to a new environment so much easier.� Beeler’s new role includes working with parents to offer guidance toward creating healthy and spiritually challenging homes. He said this is the primary arena for a student’s faith development. In the coming months Beeler will also join the preaching rotation with the other pastors. Central Baptist Church of Fountain City is located at 5364 North Broadway. Info: www.cbcfc.org.

A tardy autumn When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? (Psalm 8: 3-4 NRSV) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. (“All Things Bright and Beautiful,� Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848) It seems to me that autumn is late this year. I may be wrong about that, but I have been watching the ridges and the mountains for color, and it has been only in the last week that I have seen Mother Nature putting on her truly gaudy clothes. Oh, there have been hints and a few promising trees, but no take-your-breath-away views. She is being a tease, I think. I was supposed to be an October baby, and Daddy took Mother to the hospital on Halloween night (spare me the witch jokes, please) but I missed an October birthday by one day. Even so, October is my favorite month. I love the cooler air, the blue skies, the turning trees. On the drive home the other night after a visit to my daughter Jordan in Atlanta, I watched the moonrise over the mountains. It was a waning moon, and I was startled to realize I had missed the October full moon in the bright lights of the city. Only now that October is almost over, and the harvest moon of the Cherokee is waning, I see at last the warm plaid on the mountains, the gold and scarlet and orange against the faithful evergreens. I think we are blessed to live in this part of the world, where there are four distinct seasons. That is something you probably already know

about me, since I have been known to go on and on about the first daffodil, or the first sandal day, the first wood fire, the first snowfall. Maybe, to be perfectly honest, I love the four seasons because change keeps life interesting and entertaining. About this time every year, I also ponder the imagination of our Creator who thought up praying mantises and Beluga whales and Irish setters, as well as mastodons and kitty cats and hippopotami. While God was creating, He also got busy and gave us stars and comets and rainbows, as well as bald eagles and cardinals and hummingbirds, red maple trees and dark firs and majestic oaks, each one a joy to behold. So I would surmise that God loves variety as much as I do. The poet Cecil Frances Alexander goes on in her poem to rejoice in the fact that “God gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, who has made all things well.� Consider it done.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers
Relationships key to special ed success By Betsy Pickle Hardin Valley Academy teacher Tim Lee has organized a team of 62 peer tutors to work with special education students. He says it benefits both groups. The most important education Lee had in preparation for his career as a special education teacher took place at home when he was a child, first in Nashville and then in Corryton. He had an aunt with Down syndrome, and she came to live with his family after his grandmother died, when Tim was in 5th grade. His aunt and grandmother had lived in a quiet neighborhood in Nashville, and the aunt had a job at the store at the end of the block. She had a network of friends who supported her, and she had certain days when she would get the shopping lists of elderly neighbors and then pick up and deliver their groceries. “She went freely, and she did her own thing, but she didn’t get to go to school when she was younger because they didn’t allow (mentally challenged) students where they lived to go to school. “When she came to live with us, my mom pretty much tried to continue what my grandmother had established for her. Then, I didn’t know what it was called, but now when I look back I know that my mom was trying to normalize her life so that she could be a part of the same thing she was a part of in Nashville. She made sure she created a network of friends and people around our neighborhood. … She had a little job at the church where we went, and she went two days a week to clean and to work there, and on Sundays she worked in the nursery. “I knew that she was happy. Every night before she had to go to work the next day, she would be really excited and be proud. That stuck with me, and through my impressionable years I knew that was something I would love to be a part of.” After graduating from Gibbs High School, Lee wasn’t sure what career to pursue. His father wanted him to become a veterinarian, and he started at UT with an eye toward that goal. Soon, Lee knew he was on the wrong track. He transferred to ETSU and double-majored in elementary and special education. Special ed was different in those days, and Lee was leaning more toward elementary ed. But then he saw that things were changing – kids with disabilities were being mainstreamed and encouraged to be part of the community, just like his aunt. After an internship at Bearden Middle, he taught in special ed at Fulton High School, staying there 19 years until he switched to Hardin Valley Academy when it opened.
Tim Lee
Tim Lee encourages student Jordan Cardwell to explore the inside of a pumpkin. Photo submitted Now in his sixth year there, Lee could not be happier. It has taken some time, but the special ed program he heads is the vision of what his aunt inspired in him. He says he has great support from principal Sallee Reynolds, and he’s thrilled with his new fellow teacher, Mallory Woods, and a strong team of teaching assistants. Hardin Valley’s special ed program has two facets that mirror Lee’s philosophy on helping students reach their potential. The first and probably most important is relationships. The foundation of his approach is peer tutoring, where general ed students come to class with Lee’s students. He tells peer tutors from the outset, “You have to come into this open to forming relationships with people that you probably would not typically have the opportunity to do that with. “I made sure they understood it’s not about coming in and assisting them with certain tasks.”
Tim Lee works on his peer-tutor schedule. Photo by Betsy Pickle He also tells them, “More than anything I want you to be a part of their life, whether it’s here at school or just in the hour and a half that you’re in this class. My hope is that it’ll carry over to after school and it’ll help create memories that will stick with you on down the road. These are life lessons that are embedded in all the things you’ll be doing in here.” The message seems to have gotten through. Though he started with three peer tutors his first semester and five in the second, he now has 62 peer tutors a semester. The application process is rigorous. “We get the top-notch kids. We get the kids that the other kids look up to. That helps make them better advocates because those are the people that people will listen to and think, ‘If they can do this, it’s something I would try.’ “The peer tutoring helps build
bridges for our kids as far as pulling them into the mainstream of everything without it being something that I have to force.” Peer tutors are with the special ed students each day when they go out into the community to learn life skills at different job sites. They act as role models, not teachers. “The philosophy behind this program is to build life skills toward independent living.” He believes the program benefits his students and their “partners,” as they call their peer mentors. “It’s pretty amazing, just seeing the relationships start to form and then in the end to hear how they felt like they were the ones that were learning from our guys. To hear them say that, it validates what I’m hoping from the very beginning, that the relationships will carry forward and will have meaning.”

business The third spoke: Washington Pike Wait a minute, wait a minute! In all this talk about the twin mall frontage roads flanking the interstate, are we forgetting about the third spoke of this Golden Shopper’s Mile? The first half-mile of Washington Pike, as you leave I-640 exit 8 and drive eastward (or southeast), is part of the shopper’s paradise we’ve been featuring here lately. Washington Pike alone sports some 20 independent stores. For years, Kohl’s and Honey Baked Ham anchored this segment; and across the street, you will find Mattress Firm, American Flooring, the Sewing-Vacuum store and Hunley Turner appliance repair shop. Those are all great stores. But there is more … In recent years, Washington Pike retail options have blossomed. This started around 2005, when the failing Farmers Market site was sold by the county government through the Indus-

trial Development Board to a private developer for $7.6 million. What a crazy financial deal that was (sorry, taxpayers), but that story is for another day! You probably recall when Target uprooted from Fountain City and planted itself on that roughly 30acre Farmers Market parcel. That was just a beginning. The balance of the land (owned by Knoxville Levcal LLC) soon added a number of retail and food establishments riding Target’s coattails. The site now hosts Marshall’s, the Dress Barn, Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ross Dresses, the China Wok Buffet, Sport Clips, Sally Beauty Supply,
A-12 • OCTOBER 28, 2013 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news LifeWay Christian books, Dollar Tree and an AT&T phone store, among others. Just north of Target are JoAnn’s Fabric & Crafts and Shoe Carnival. If you are hungry after all that shopping (and not ready for Chinese), try Kitts Café across the street (technically, it’s Greenway Drive at that point) or visit the Tasty Cake Discount Bakery. The TVA Credit Union is nearby. The site is also home to New Harvest Park, a 43-acre county park with a walking trail, ample parking, a great picnic pavilion, a kids’ splash pad and playground, an outdoor farmers market, and a large meeting hall which hosts meetings and early voting for this side of town. Wait! there’s more. There’s more roadwork ahead. The city’s engineers, with help from TDOT and federal funds, are studying an $18 million boulevardtype widening of Washington Pike, running from I-640 eastward to Murphy Road. Construction is not scheduled to begin until 2015, with completion sometime in 2018. It is said the road work is needed to handle the 17,000+ trips per day. (More information is available on the City’s website (cityofknoxville. org/engineering/projects). The road plan may anger some of the neighbors, but

Jean Baird: Banking legend The year is 1954. Bill Haley and his Comets record “Rock Around the Clock,” kicking off the revolutionary rock and roll craze that will thrill teenagers worldwide and horrify their parents.
Anne Hart
A kid named Elvis pays $4 to a Memphis studio to record his first two songs. RCA manufactures the first color TV set, and the Miss America Pageant is broadcast on television for the first time. The New York Giants defeat the Cleveland Indians to win the World Series. And in Cleveland, Tenn., a recent Bradley County High School basketball standout named Jean DeLay begins work as a proof clerk for a local bank – the start of a career that now spans an astonishing 59 years in that industry. Today Jean DeLay Baird is a branch team leader for Regions Bank’s Knollwood Branch on Bearden Hill and has enough knowledge about changes in the banking industry to fill a book. From typewriters clicking throughout the office to the latest in computerized banking, Jean Baird has seen it all. One thing, she says, has never changed:
“Good banking is all about providing exceptional service to the customer.” Her many years in the business also represent a veritable alphabet soup of mergers and acquisitions. The Cleveland Bank that gave her that first job was eventually bought by Park National Bank, where she served as branch manager in their Cedar Bluff facility. When First American bought Park National, she became a personal banker for them and worked in that capacity even after AmSouth acquired First American. After Regions and AmSouth merged, Jean became an assistant branch manager in the Bearden office before moving into her current position. And while she has worn many hats over nearly six decades in banking, her dedication to her job and her reputation for treating her customers well has been a mainstay of her business philosophy. A member of West Knoxville Rotary for almost three decades and the second woman admitted to membership in the club, she was in the audience recently when guest speaker Pilot Oil founder Jim Haslam spotted her from the podium and gave a shout out to his old friend, “Jean, Jean, the money machine.” Another guest speaker, sports icon and Shopper columnist Marvin West noted that Jean and his wife

had graduated from high school together. It’s true that Jean Baird seems to know just about everyone. There are longtime bank customers who don’t get around much nowadays that she visits in their homes; others she drives to personal errands. Younger bank associates say that when they recommend a new or different service to bank customers they often hear, “Let me check with Jean about that first.” Jean and her husband, Bob, now retired from TVA, are members of Ebenezer United Methodist Church. They have a son, Dr. Michael Baird, an anesthesiologist with Parkwest Hospital, and four grandchildren. Jean says she does think about retiring from banking every once in a while, “but I’m just not quite ready. There’s still so much to do.”

Wellness Warriors walk for diabetes research By Alvin Nance More than 40 employees of Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC) laced up their walking shoes and stepped out on Oct. 20 to help end diabetes. The KCDC Wellness Warriors was the top fundraising team of the local campaign, which was held at World’s Fair Park. I am very proud of the KCDC employees who stepped up to support the walk effort. As chair of the “Step Out” walk this year, I am also very grateful to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) staff and the Step Out Walk executive committee members, such as Tank Strickland and Morgan Honeycutt, for their commitment and work to make this campaign a success. This is KCDC’s second year to be involved in the three-mile “Step Out” Walk. Last year, 17 team members raised more than $3,000 for the ADA for research. Thanks to team captains Denise Jaqua-Houston and Denise Campbell, we have doubled our team’s size and increased our donations to $4,256. They have done a wonderful job of rallying the KCDC team and raising awareness about diabetes among our employees. Jaqua-Houston is also a Red Strider, an ADA designation that recognizes a “Step Out” walk participant living with diabetes. Team member Angie Sharp is also a Red Strider, and other KCDC employees have family, friends or coworkers living with the disease. More than 26 million people deal with diabetes nationwide, so it has
The KCDC “Wellness Warriors” team raised $4,256 for the American Diabetes Association at the Knoxville “Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes” at the World’s Fair Park. Team members are: (front) Darrell Lindsey, Tiara Webb, Sean Maxwell, Beth Bacon, Morgan McGlasson, Cathe Lee, Shana Love and daughter, Jack Canada with grandchild Troy Bruce, Madison and Syla Sharp, Jackie and Dakota Strange; (middle) Bret Lindsay, Michael Webb, Beverly Mack, Joy Russell, Wendy McGlasson, Sandra Lewellyn, Dawn Lewellyn, Kim Mills, Angie Sharp, Donna Canada, Nancy Mills, Denise Jaqua-Houston, Helen Teff Teller; (back) Kent Patrick, Terri Evans, Joe Mills, Becky Fetters, Steve Ellis, Brenda Ellis, Kristie Bruce and Ray Sharp. Photo submitted touched the lives of many Americans in some way. “Raising money and awareness for diabetes is a cause very near and dear to my heart,” Jaqua-Houston said. “Not only have I lived with diabetes for 20 years, my friends have diabetes, and two of my siblings and my mother as well. We just need to do whatever we need to do to find a cure.” The Wellness Warriors held several fundraisers. The first citywide “Kiss-APig” contest raised more than $800. Individuals voted for their favorite – or least favorite – local politicians to kiss a pig, with $1 equal to one vote. The team also hosted giveback nights at local restaurants, bake sales and bracelet sales. The Wellness Warriors will round out the fundraising with an online auction, which will push us well beyond our goal of $4,000.
Fundraising continues throughout the next six weeks. You can still donate to diabetes research that will go toward the KCDC Wellness Warriors or another
“Step Out” team. To donate, visit stepout.diabetes.org. I am very proud of our employees and everyone who took part in the walk. Together, we can find a cure.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
A life changing night of sleep Scott Beverly of Knoxville, 53, has been taking better care of his health lately, ever since he experienced atrial fibrillation, the most common type of irregular heartbeat. Working out and losing weight have helped. But Beverly has also visited Dr. Thomas G. Higgins at the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center for an exam and a sleep test in the summer of 2013. “My wife (Toni) kept saying I was snoring a whole lot at nighttime, and she could tell I stopped breathing during the night,” Beverly said. At the sleep center, Beverly was diagnosed with a condition called obstructive sleep apnea. This occurs when a person’s airway relaxes during sleep and collapses on itself. This causes loud snoring and periodic lapses in breathing, which in turn can strain the heart. And of course, it makes for a lousy night’s sleep. At the sleep center, Beverly had a thorough exam by Higgins and then was scheduled for a sleep test. He arrived at 7 p.m. to spend the night in one of the center’s suites, complete with a comfortable bed and bathroom. “It was very nice, almost like home,” Beverly said. Except that patients are connected all night to monitors recording their heart rate, brain activity, breathing
dreamed. I hadn’t done that in forever!” Today Beverly wears a CPAP mask every night to sleep and has seen a dramatic improvement in his energy level. The machine is about the size of a shoe box and sits beside his bed. “I’m 100 percent better. I didn’t feel it at first. But my wife and even boss and others could tell the difference. I have more pep and a more normal energy level,” Beverly said. Beverly said he would recommend the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center to anyone who needs a better night’s rest. And the added bonus of treating his sleep apnea has been a more regular heart beat. “My atrial fibrillation has gone from spells four times a week, to maybe once every two weeks, if that,” he said. “Dr. Higgins thinks maybe when I stopped breathing so many times during the night, it was triggering the irregular heartbeat. “I had excellent care at Fort Scott Beverly and his wife, Toni, in Annapolis, Md., where their son, Brandon, is a junior at the United States Naval Sanders,” he said. “When you walk in, you’re not a number, Academy you’re a person.

Science of a good night’s rest Getting a good night’s rest is not a luxury but rather a necessity for good health, according to Dr. Thomas G. Higgins, a neurologist and sleep disorders specialist at Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. “Most people need at least seven or eight hours of sleep,” said Higgins. “There are shorter sleepers, but most people getting five hours are not getting enough sleep. Your body temperature, horDr. Thomas G. mones and everyHiggins thing in the body functions better if you’re attaining enough sleep.” A lack of sleep can affect the body in many negative ways, Higgins said. “The immune system is affected,” he said. “People who do not get enough sleep are more likely to become ill. People with insufficient sleep are more likely to put on weight, because a lack of sleep affects metabolism. That can lead to diabetes and heart disease. “Obtaining good sleep reduces your sensitivity to chronic pain.
doesn’t get to a deep stage of sleep. Sleep apnea is managed by wearing a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine at night. This machine forces air through a tube and mask, and into the patient’s airway to keep it open. “In one study, they took photos of patients before and two months after using a CPAP machine, and asked other people to rate who was more attractive. The people judged most attractive were the ones who had used the CPAP for a couple of months. “So if you want to Fibromyalgia, for example, can be aggravated by a lack of sleep,” be good looking, healthy and feel better, use your CPAP,” said Higsaid Higgins.

Myths about sleep Myth: Some people only need 4 to 5 hours per night. Truth: Everyone needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, and others need up to 9 hours. Sleep is productive time, in which brain and body cells rejuvenate. Myth: Sleep problems only affect older women. Truth: Insomnia affects everyone, but is more common in older women. Men in their 30s and 40s are most likely to get sleep apnea. And narcolepsy, a serious sleep disorder, most often begins in a person’s teens and 20s.
When to call the doctor If you have a problem getting to sleep, it’s probably a sleep hygiene issue. Try keeping regular sleep hours, use the bedroom only for sleeping don’t work on the computer or watch TV just before bed and avoid caffeine after dinner. Get exercise every day, but not right before bed. Do something relaxing before bed, like take a bath or read (as long as it’s not exciting). Keep the lights low or even off. Before there were electric lights, people regularly slept 9 hours per day. If you keep waking up during the night, that’s more likely a physica problem such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome or any one of a number of sleep disorders. If you’ve tried good sleep hygiene and still can’t fall asleep, call your doctor. Or if you’re waking up in the middle of the night repeatedly that’s a reason to call a doctor as well.
Get Your Life Back Chronic sleep deprivation or poor quality sleep can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable and unable to focus. It can also lead to serious health problems. The professionals at the nationally accredited Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorders Center can help you get a refreshing night’s sleep – and get your life back.

Team Leela On a recent Friday night, a group of some of the best folks on the planet got together for a party. At the center of this group was someone very special – a modern-day “Cinderella” of sorts – who was the reason for the celebration.
Carol Zinavage
Leela, the star of a modern-day Cinderella story. A cancer survivor, she led the PetSafe Morris Foundation K9 Cancer Walk this past September.

She’s had several names but now she’s Leela, and Leela she will stay. She’s a big, beautiful Anatolian Shepherd, and she lives a healthy, happy life thanks to several differ-
ent groups of people – including the aforementioned party crowd – working together on her behalf.
‘Fall in Love’ with cats at YWAC Young-Williams Animal Center is hosting the “Fall in Love” special through the end of November with greatly reduced prices on all cats. Kittens can be adopted for $50 (regularly $150), adult cats for $25 (regularly $70) and senior cats for $10 (regularly $50). The shelter’s cat rooms are at capacity. By helping an animal already at the shelter, you are helping another animal who will then be able to fill the vacancy. So far this year, YoungWilliams has taken in 5,210 cats that need homes. Despite the reduced adoption fee, every adopted cat will still receive the services covered by regular adoption fees, including a physical exam by a veterinarian, spay or neuter surgery, standard vaccinations

Leela likes the merchandise at the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley’s Four Feet Repeat store. Her story is quite a circuitous one. She was found wandering the back roads of Jefferson County in July of this year. The Humane Society of Jefferson County picked her up, logged her in as a male and named her Truman. However, it soon became evident that “he” was a “she,” and her name was changed to Trula. Another thing that had become evident was Trula’s bulging right eye. Concerned about the dog’s health, shelter director Melissa Descant contacted the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley. “After Melissa contacted HSTV, I just couldn’t get Trula out of my mind,” says board member Beth Schultheis. “Her size alone was enough to get my attention – she weighed 95 pounds! “Then of course there was the eye. It was a serious issue, but she seemed to take it in stride – the true definition of a gentle giant.” Schultheis contacted a few large dog rescue groups, but there was “no room at the inn.” She then contacted At Risk Intervention (ARI), a
“She would sit at reception and greet the public,” says Jessica Popek, the Society’s director of development and marketing. “She’d lay on the couch in the dog room for hours with children and staff members just wrapped around her.” Enter Sylvia Turner and Eric Johnson of West Knoxville, who had lost two dogs of their own – first Shadow, then Kaya – in quick, unexpected succession. “Kaya was irreplaceable,” says Sylvia, who is assistant director of the Haslam Scholars program at UT, of their beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback. Diagnosed with an aggressive tumor on her spine, she was given a grim prognosis. She was in pain, and no treatments were
helping. Sylvia and Eric made every pet owner’s hardest decision, and Kaya was euthanized at home. “We were devastated,” says Sylvia, “and we vowed never again to get another dog.” But dog lover Sylvia had been checking the Humane Society’s website every few days “secretly,” as she says. And “when we saw Trula, we knew we wanted her. There was no hesitation.” They adopted Trula “exactly one year after we lost Kaya.” They renamed her “Leela,” after the one-eyed “Futurama” character. And then they threw a party.
rescue group affiliated with PetCo, and requested that they help set up an internet funding site for Trula’s medical care. While all this was happening, the dog was examined at UT Veterinary Hospital, where it was determined that she had a malignant tumor. The eye needed to be removed in order to save her life. In July, Dr. Patrick Hackett of Pellissippi Veterinary Hospital successfully performed the surgery. Once Trula’s sutures healed, she was delivered into the care of the Tennessee Valley HuSend story suggestions to news@ mane Society, which began ShopperNewsNow.com steps to find the dog – no less beautiful after the loss of an eye – a forever home.
