Joel Helton didn’t get a banquet or a gold watch when he was forced out of his job at Central High School after his 27th season as head football coach. Last week, the Fountain City Lions Club tried to make up for that with an evening in his honor. The celebration was a love fest with an edge. Some 100 friends and former players gathered to honor the former Central High School football coach, who didn’t get a chance to say goodbye when he was told to turn in the keys to the fieldhouse last November after being accused of intimidating students. The allegations were never substantiated, but Helton remained suspended until he was transferred to Farragut High School in March. Superintendent James McIntyre announced that Helton is permanently banned from coaching in Knox County. There were funny stories and high praise for Helton, who was presented with a plaque from the Lions and a County Commission proclamation declaring last Monday “Joel Helton Day.” Former principal Jon Miller, who was an assistant coach under Helton before becoming his boss, first as athletic director and then as principal, said he came to honor Helton because it’s “more than just coaching; it’s more than one experience. It’s about the relationships (we built as colleagues) and a lifetime of memories.” He said Helton liked to nickname people: “If you had a nickname, you were in.”

in boot camp, there wasn’t a night I didn’t think about something he’d told us. That kept me going over the next few months. … And that’s happened all through my life. To a lot of us he was a dad, a big brother, a friend who would give you the shirt off his back. “Any time you have adversity in your life, you’d remember something he’d said that helped push you through the hard times. It’s not just about the present. He’s built a lot of character for a lot of us – a no-quit attitude, setting goals and reaching them.” Allen agreed and said Helton served as a father figure to countless boys “who didn’t have a dad.” He said it’s going to be difficult Former football players Coby McLemore and Andrew Wallace talk with coach to continue to support the Central Joel Helton.

Fountain City Road to reopen May 30 Knox County deputy director of engineering and public works Jim Snowden said last week that the portion of Fountain City Road closed during the Dry Gap Pike/Fountain City Road/Dante Road intersection project should be open by Monday, May 30. Snowden said that the project’s final closeout – “final asphalt surface, striping, sodding, etc.” – should take an additional couple of weeks and that the project should be entirely completed by July 1. – Jake Mabe

Correction Shopper-News published two misstatements in last week’s front page caption regarding road work underway on Tazewell Pike near Broadway Tazewell Shopping Center. The errors were caused by incomplete information from TDOT. There will be no raised concrete island in the middle of Tazewell Pike. Tazewell Pike will have a curb and gutter section on each side and the shopping center parking lot will have a 6-inch detached concrete curb. Motorists will not need to turn at Coile Road to enter the shopping center. Northbound traffic will use the existing entrance just south of Coile Road and Hardee’s. TDOT will construct a new 36-foot wide entrance to accommodate the shopping center flow of traffic. – S. Clark

Halls B&P donates to Second Harvest

Mail call “It’s wonderful to meet so many friends that I didn’t used to like.” – Casey Stengel Some people collect stamps, others old cars. I collect reader comments. Here, generously redacted, is one of my favorites. “I read your article,” it began, before asking if I had permission to “publize” some photos. I was then warned that I should “keep out of this untill (sic) the authorities are finished with thier (sic) investigation.” Apparently this reader had a bone to pick with East Tennesseans in general, because he wrapped up his comments with this criticism. “It amazes me how unsophiticated (sic) you people are here in East Tennessee. No manners just good ole boy net working! This is not journalism, this is plain ole tacky trash.” I wrote back, thanking the reader for his comments and wishing him the best with next year’s 3rd grade reading assignments. He failed to see the humor in my goodnatured response. Wearing your feelings on your sleeve will get you a lot of heartache and a short career in this business. In fact, the only sensible attitude for a reporter is one of gratitude for all unsolicited comments. They may hate you today and love you next week, but at least they’re reading you, and, after all, isn’t that the point? In the spirit of the baseball season, now well under way, here’s another quote from the “Old Perfesser” that resonates with me as an editor: “Managing is getting paid for home runs someone else hits.” We’ve got some home runs in this week’s edition. Sandra Clark hits it out of the park with her column on page A-5. This one could be subtitled, “To advertise, or not advertise, that is the question.” Marvin West clears the fences with his A-7 feature on what Vol fans can expect when UT answers for Lane Kiffin’s and Bruce Pearl’s violations next month in Indianapolis, and Jake Mabe knocks the cover off the ball as he takes you on a tour of The Hermitage.

Second Harvest Food Bank executive director Elaine Streno joked at last week’s Halls B&P meeting at Beaver Brook that she had so many friends in the room, “they probably know more about Second Harvest than I do.”

Jake Mabe The Halls B&P donated $1,500 to Second Harvest, which feeds families and individuals in an 18-county service area, following the Feb. 28 flood that Streno said “left two feet of water inside our building and six feet of water in the parking lot.” Streno said Second Harvest serves 200 agencies, including three in our community – the Halls Food Pantry at Cross Roads Presbyterian Church, the Knoxville Free Food Market run by Grove Church and one through the Fountain City Ministry Center. Second Harvest is moving to a new location in Blount County, “as soon as the cooler freezer is built.” Streno said the organization has outgrown its Delaware Avenue location in Knox-

for the past eight years, training and equipment requirements have pushed those costs to more than $60,000 annually. For the past year, the department has received about $15,000 in contributions from the community. In 2010, the department received $15,000 in contractual funding from Knox County in the form of a grant. In 2011, that figured was reduced to $13,500 and County Mayor Tim Burchett’s proposed 2012 budget only provides $9,500. The department also raises money through events such as rummage sales, spaghetti suppers and the like. In a perfect scenario, with the new factor of the dispatch fee to Rural/Metro, it should cost about $61,000 to run

Cherohala Challenge bike ride registration opens By Lorraine Furtner Registration is open for the annual Cherohala Challenge bike ride June 18 in Tellico Plains. This the 11th year the 62mile and the 115-mile challenge rides are being sponsored by Knoxville-based Smoky Mountain Wheelmen (SMW) bike club. Registration is $50 and includes an after ride meal sponsored by The Outpost, T-shirt, “goodie bag,” food/water rest stops and check-in appetizers on June 17, the night before the trek. SMW president Sue Buckley said the Cherohala Challenge draws about 400-450 bikers each year but hopes to attract 600 this year, with the help of the Tellico Plains Chamber of Commerce. Buckley adds the ride is not for beginners. The roads will not be closed, so bikers will have to contend with motor traffic, as well as varying temperature changes, and need good handling and climbing abilities. The ride extends onto the curves of “the dragon,” U.S. Highway 129 through Tennessee and North Carolina, and the hilly “saw tooth” section. “The number of climbs on the route is equivalent to biking up 9,000 feet of elevation,” said Buckley. Riders may start any time between 7 and 8 a.m., pacing themselves according to their own fitness level, keeping in mind the rest stations along the route will close in the afternoon. Because there is no cell phone reception in the area, SMW has arranged for Blount County ham radio operators to handle communication and emergencies. For registration info, visit SMWbike.org. Registration is online or by mail until June 12. After that time registration will be the day of the ride and there is no guarantee of a T-shirt.

the HVFD. If Burchett’s budget proposal passes as proposed, the department is still faced with raising more than $50,000. As projections are seldom perfect, the cost could go as high as $86,000 or more to keep the department running. This would require the department to raise more than $75,000 – a daunting task in today’s economic and fundraising conditions. After much study, the “Path Forward Committee” determined that there were essentially two options: become a paid subscription service or enter into a contract with Rural/Metro. The subscription service option would require the development of a business model and the establishment of a business entity separate from the fire protection di-

vision per the department’s bylaws. The subscription option would also require the establishment of procedures and policies to execute the business plan. There had been preliminary discussions with Rural/Metro and RM chief Jerry Harnish was at the May 14 board meeting. In principal, Rural/Metro has agreed to hire HVFD employees, take over protection of the area and maintain the HVFD equipment while providing a community flavor to the service. The details would be worked out in the negotiations. The committee recommended a written ballot vote. The board voted 6-4 to enter into a contract with Rural/Metro. What does this mean for

homeowners in Heiskell? The financial implications are unclear as yet. Harnish explained that Rural/Metro charges a sliding scale based on square footage on file in the county assessor’s office. The fee ranges from 6 cents to 14 cents per square foot. The more square footage under protection the less the per square foot rate. For example, if one has a 2,000 square foot home with no outbuildings, using the 14 cents per foot as a worst case scenario, the annual Rural/ Metro subscription would run $280 using the figures provided by Harnish. There are still questions to be answered and they won’t be answered until the contract negotiations, which are scheduled to begin this week, are complete.

Rausch takes ‘hands on’ approach as police chief By Jake Mabe When Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch heard that a so-called “pain clinic” which had been closed down on MidDavid Rausch d l e b r o o k Pike had reopened at Central and Main streets downtown, he stopped by there personally before speaking to the North Knox Rotary Club at Litton’s last Thursday, telling the operator that his first order of business would be to “get you outta here.” This “hands on” approach is what Rausch says is his style, similar to that of his predecessor, Sterling Owen IV. Rausch says that the “clinic” operates out of a nondescript building without a sign and charges a $300 “membership fee” before a “doctor” looks at an X-ray or MRI and writes prescriptions for painkillers. “There’s a huge market (for painkillers) and it’s tearing lives apart,” Rausch says. “Our agency’s commitment is to the community. I think it’s important that we take care of our people.” He says his two months as police chief following Owen’s retirement have been “an amazing whirlwind” but that becoming chief is a goal he’s had since he joined the police department 18 years ago.

Rausch says the top three crimes in the city of Knoxville are property crimes, such as automobile burglaries and shoplifting; the drug trade, particularly prescription painkillers and methamphetamines; and gang activity. He says the increase in property crimes is partially due to the bad economy. A big way to fight it, Rausch says, is by educating the public to lock car doors and not leave valuables like iPods and GPS systems in plain sight. Tennessee is No. 1 nationally in the production of meth. Rausch says the drug cannot be made without pseudoephedrine, which is found in over-the-counter drugs like Sudafed. Rausch says the law enforcement community will continue to push for greater control of such drugs. Rausch says the increase in gang activity is due in part to the fact that a large group of gang members who were put away 15 years ago is getting out of prison. He says he’s talked to his counterpart in Lexington, Ky., who has also seen an increase in gang violence. Last week was National Police Week and Rausch reminded the crowd that one police officer dies somewhere in the United States every 53 hours. “Tennessee is fifth in the number of officer deaths and East Tennessee has two/thirds of them.”

He’s not Judge Judy

Andrew Jackson, judge of General Sessions Court, says he’s not Judge Judy, even though their courts are similar. He’s not a millionaire, and you can tell she’s never run for office. Jackson’s remarks drew laughter at the Halls Republican Club, inspiring him to tell of a case in which the defendant appeared in baggy shorts that hung almost to his ankles. When Jackson, a former prosecutor, menJackson tioned that he had the fellow’s criminal record, the man bolted for the door. “He was in violation of his probation and thought I would send him back to jail,” said Jackson. The man slammed so hard into the locked side of a double door that he bounced back, giving the court officer a chance to catch him. The officer grabbed his pants, which came off, and the man ran away through the other door. “Where could he go?” asked Jackson. The City County Building has Pentagon-level security. So Jackson set about calling the next case when he noticed “a 103-year-old man struggling to rise. “Can I help you, sir?” asked Jackson. “Your honor,” said the man. “Do you reckon I ought to go help the officers catch that boy?” – S. Clark

Budget making, that is. And when the budget in question is $680 million, it’s no less of a game, although the object has changed under Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s administration. When former Mayor Mike Ragsdale was at the helm, his goal was to convince County Commission and the citizenry that the coffers had plenty of cushion and the revenue streams were flowing undiminished. He was ably assisted in this endeavor by a crackerjack finance department headed by John Troyer. Troyer’s team came through time and again. When critics advised caution, Ragsdale’s financial wizards invariably produced budget projections that “proved” the mayor’s optimism was warranted. Exit Ragsdale, enter Burchett. The new mayor has retained the services of the

Larry Van Guilder

capable Troyer, but now the object of the game has changed. It’s up to the accountants to demonstrate that the mayor’s pessimistic outlook for the upcoming fiscal year is warranted. To no one’s surprise, the numbers vetted by the finance department demonstrate that the mayor is a prognosticator par excellence. We could hardly let pass without comment this curious conformity to the boss’ principles. Indeed, the concept of a CPA’s “independent” judgment gets muddled near the top of the political food chain. There’s a battered old

joke most accountants know about the fellow interviewing applicants for an accounting position in his firm. Every candidate was asked the same question: How much is two plus two? Each jobseeker answered “four” until the boss got down to the last bean counter on his list. “How much is two plus two?” he asked. The applicant rose from his chair, closed the boss’ door, walked to the windows and closed the blinds. Then, he turned to his prospective employer and whispered, “How much do you want it to be?” Hired. While we don’t maintain that Burchett’s bright financial folks can’t add, it isn’t hard to make a case that at least part of the proposed budget is probably too gloomy in its outlook. Even as the housing market continues to flounder, retail sales are showing new life, so sales tax collections are rising. This isn’t just my opinion, it’s one shared by the Tennes-

see Department of Revenue. And local sales tax collections for the first 10 months of FY 2011 are outstripping the prior year’s haul by about 3.4 percent. The mayor’s proposed budget does reflect an increase in sales tax revenue, but the projection falls about $900,000 short of what the trend indicates we could expect. Under other circumstances, we’d shrug off a difference of less than 1 percent of the total budget of $126.8 million in sales tax revenue, but the extraordinary leanness of this budget is just cause to speak up. In round numbers, an extra million could pave a few more roads, buy more library books or fund a few more community grants. Of course, there’s no guarantee that my forecast is any more accurate than the mayor’s. On the other hand, I’m not paid to be right, merely nettlesome. The mayor, however …

Why Realtors buy ads (or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) The Shopper-News has come under attack by a few members of the real estate industry because of columns by writers who support the ridge top plan sponsored by Commissioner Tony Norman. Betty Bean, Larry Van Guilder and I attended several community meetings during the planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiyear development phase, but this paper has never endorsed or non-endorsed it. And when a Realtor friend asked us to publish a map showing the affected areas, we did so without qualm. Times are tough for the real estate industry. Norman picked an incredibly bad time to press for ridge top protection and development restrictions on slopes of 15 percent or more. Norman, a former environmental science teacher, is trying to curb runoff into streams. He benefited at the outset from the antics of Lumpy Lambert. With Lambert as his foil, Norman picked up support from various sources. But opponents merely waited until the final draft and launched an all out assault, with full page ads in the daily paper, emails to Chamber members and

Sandra Clark

phone calls to commissioners. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the essence of politics, but feelings have been hurt. Norman seems unwilling to compromise; opponents are threatening to cancel advertising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will support businesses that support us,â&#x20AC;? one wrote. OK, fine. But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s think. Under my leadership, Shopper-News has a 40year history of support for development and property rights. A newspaper is a chorus of voices. Together, we make a fun read; separately, well, we put our name on the stuff we write. Reader, beware. If you polled the people who work at Shopper-News, you would find an even split on the ridge top issue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; much like the 6-5 vote by which it failed at County Commission. Now to the issue of advertising. The paper received an

email last week from a Realtor who said she was buying an ad only because the seller wanted it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big â&#x20AC;&#x153;well-duh.â&#x20AC;? In a free country, folks can buy what they want. But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think an agent (by definition one who represents another) would buy an ad where it would do the most good for the seller, not choose based on the agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of editorial opinions in a newspaper. Fact is, the classified section of newspapers is dying faster than one of Ronald Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redwood trees (see one, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them all). But newspapers work very well in â&#x20AC;&#x153;brand identityâ&#x20AC;? for agents. T hatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why high volume agents like Laura Bailey (north) and Judi Starliper (west) make a major splash in print. Sellers see the ads and know their property will be advertised heavily by those agents. Thus, they call for a listing appointment and the heavyhitters sign them up. Soon the properties sell and the agent sticks â&#x20AC;&#x153;soldâ&#x20AC;? in their ad, leading to a call from the next seller. Would Starliper or Bailey cancel an ad over politics? It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened yet.

President heads for Poland This coming Friday, May 27, President Barack Obama makes his first visit ever to Poland. He will receive a warm welcome from Poles in Warsaw who are very friendly to the United States. He will stay overnight and depart late on May 28. It is the first American presidential visit to Poland since June 2007 when President George W. Bush visited Jurata on the Baltic in Northern Poland. As part of the planning for the visit on the Polish side, I participated last Thursday in a video conference at the Polish Embassy in Washington with Polandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski, along with 14 others who have a longtime interest in Poland and Polish-American relations. It was a unique opportunity to hear the Polish perspective on the presidential visit as well as to ask questions or make comments to the foreign minister. In this case, Minister Sikorski had just returned from a visit to the rebel-held part of Libya as the first foreign minister to pay an official call on the insurgents seeking to overthrow the current regime in Libya. He indicated a positive impression of the insurgent leadership and felt former Communist-dominated nations such as Poland have much experience to offer a newly democratic Libya emerging from 40 years of dictatorship. The now democratic nations such as Poland which became free with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 faced similar issues then that Libya will face once it achieves domestic freedom. Those include how to treat survivors of the former regime, what type of democratic procedures to adopt, how to restructure a judiciary which is honest and independent, how to conduct a free election and how to interact with the Western European community and NATO nations. Poland assumes the presidency of the European Union (EU) this July for six months. This is the first time Poland has led the EU since joining it in 2004. This will place Poland in the spotlight on the European stage and is a significant event for the Obama administration to recognize. Poles are concerned that the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to reset relations with Russia might come at the expense of Poland, and the

Andrew and Rachel’s

love story PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

Touring The Hermitage

ASHVILLE – The 8,000square-foot Greek Revival mansion that Andrew Jackson called The Hermitage sits at the end of a road called Rachel’s Lane. Which is apropos because in so many ways this grand old estate serves as Old Hickory’s love letter to his wife. Ironically, Rachel Jackson wouldn’t live to see the home that visitors tour today. The original Hermitage mansion, a Federal-style brick building, was completed in 1821. Prior to that, the Jacksons lived in a log home that was later converted into slave quarters. Jackson had a formal four-square English garden designed for Rachel while the mansion was being built. He paid it no mind, at first, but Rachel loved it, leading one visitor to exclaim, “I never saw anyone more enthusiastically fond of flowers.” In 1825, she purchased flowering plants, including geraniums, daisies, wallflowers and polyanthus, from Cincinnati. When Rachel died, weeks after the bitter election of 1828, Andrew had her buried in the garden, originally under a small grave house. In 1831, he hired David Morrison to build Rachel a tomb based on a Greek monument. The domed limestone structure with a copper roof was completed the following year. Andrew grieved over Rachel’s death, blaming his one-time friend and presidential opponent John Quincy Adams for the ugly rumors spread about Rachel during the ’28 campaign. It went back to the 1790s, when Andrew married Rachel Donelson before her divorce from Capt. Lewis Robards had been completed. The Jacksons married again in 1794, but reports of bigamy would

A view of The Hermitage from the back of the house. Photos by Jake Mabe dog Andrew through his second bid for the presidency. Rachel died, of a heart attack, on Dec. 22, 1828. Andrew, believing the controversy had hastened her death, never forgave Quincy Adams. Andrew’s favorite portrait of Rachel hangs in the President’s Room at The Hermitage, just as it did in the White House. She had picked out the home’s wallpaper, hand-painted in France using 80 different colors, which tells a story based on Greek mythology. Today, tourists visiting The Hermitage are treated to an excellent self-guided digital audio tour, which now features a separate series of stories about Rachel at each stop. The Hermitage was enlarged in 1831 to include a library and dining room because Jackson knew he would need enough space to entertain a presidential-sized party. A fire in 1834 necessitated another redesign, which led to the Greek Revival home that stands today. It was completed in 1837. The dining room walls are

painted a unique shade of blue. The venetian blinds on the windows were considered old-fashioned even in the 1830s. It is said that Jackson liked to sit in the middle, rather than at the head, of the table so he could enjoy his dinner with a lady seated on either side. Dinner was served at 3 p.m., so that visitors would have enough time to get home before dark. Jackson’s hand-picked successor, Martin Van Buren, won the presidency in 1836. They rode together to the inauguration in March 1837, starting a trend that continues to this day. The carriage that took them to the Capitol is on display in the visitor’s center museum. Old Hickory returned to The Hermitage looking rather old, indeed. One of the many portraits that Ralph Earle painted of him shows the lion in winter, haggard and tired. He had been sickly as president, suffering from abdominal pains, headaches, a persistent cough and – maybe – a broken heart. It is said that Jackson daily walked to the garden he once ig-

hard parts, laughed about some of her more gullible moments and smiled ruefully over the sum total. I have thought about her often and wondered how she was doing. And then one fine spring morning, she was waiting for me outside the building. “Do you remember me?” It took a moment. She was prettier than I had remembered, or maybe just happier than she was last time I saw her. She handed me a slim volume of prayers and meditations on leadership. “You helped me when I was here before. I found this and thought of you.” Tucked inside the book was a card she had made, complete with an original color drawing on the front and a sweet note written in beautiful calligraphy inside. I glanced at it and looked up at her

Andrew and Rachel Jackson are buried side by side in the garden. David Morrison built this Greek Revival tomb for Rachel in 1831. Andrew joined her in 1845. His tombstone simply reads “General Andrew Jackson.”

The formal garden that Andrew Jackson built for his wife, Rachel, in 1819. nored to visit Rachel’s grave during his final years. He joined her for good following his death on June 8, 1845. And it is there they rest, side by side, in the garden behind the house at the end of Rachel’s Lane. Call Jake Mabe at 922-4136 or e-mail JakeMabe1@ aol.com.

smiling face. “You should be doing this professionally,” I told her. She smiled, “I’ve thought about it.” I thanked her again and went inside. I sat down and read the first two chapters. I have never thought of myself as an “out in the front” leader. I am always happiest in a No.2 or No. 3 position, a second lieutenant, maybe. Since that morning, I have developed the habit of reading at least a page or two of that little book every morning. There is great wisdom there, and courage. There is humility and no little fear. There is stark honesty, pleading without desperation and matter-of-fact plainness. But perhaps the best lesson for me, or for anyone who deals with people and provides direction for

an effort of any kind, is this: leadership begins on your knees. Between the dream and the reality lie many steps: the vision, the sharing, the plan, the buy-in, the work, the adjustment. Through it all, however, there must be prayer. And from the book came the words that leapt off the page and lodged in my mind: “Oh God, I will give you my fear, if you will give me your peace.” It sounds suspiciously like bargaining with God, and maybe it is. But one thing I have learned in my life is this: if I am asking God for something, I may have to put down everything else I am holding onto in order to accept what God is about to place in my hands. Would I be willing to give up my fear for God’s peace? In a heartbeat.

Dad gum and tough stuff TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

ood neighbor Carl used to say “dad gum” if he spilled coffee on his Sunday suit or a tire went flat or it rained on the family picnic. So it is for Tennessee timing in the saga of NCAA sins. You might call it bad luck that the university faces the judge just as hanging becomes fashionable. If the committee on infractions is really looking to make an example of somebody, the Volunteers are the chosen ones. Next month, downtown Indianapolis, day of reckoning, public spanking, embarrassing probation, loss of scholarships, no telling what else. Compared to other institutions of higher learning, north and south, Tennessee is relatively inexperienced in getting caught cheating. Kentucky basketball once endured a one-year shut-

down. Alabama football was under consideration for the death penalty. Both fretted and frowned but went on living. Both were caught again. Purchasing prospects and academic fraud are capital crimes. Lying to investigators is high on the list. Murder is some worse. Strange, indeed, that Bruce Pearl compromised Tennessee’s reputation, such as it was, and set up the Vols for severe penalties with nothing to show for his misdeeds. If you rob a bank, you usually get money. If you risk recruiting violations, there should be measurable results, say 6-10 and 245. If the whole truth has been told, Pearl and his people got little or nothing for excessive phone calls, extended bumps and fibbing about where was the cookout. Coaching

careers are damaged and maybe totaled. UT basketball is left with the threadbare welfare look. I’m guessing Tennessee gets off light for what went down during the Lane Kiffin era. I remain surprised there were no more football charges. I thought I recognized familiar fingerprints previously seen on the front of the Reggie Bush case at Southern Cal. Could be wrong. I am no more than an amateur detective. I do know Tennessee is in a deeper mess than ever before. Two points of reference: In the mid-1980s, Tennessee football was called onto the carpet for recruiting violations, extra benefits to a quarterback on the team, use of that ineligible player and false certification of his eligibility. The penalty was modest, one year of probation, a public reprimand for the head coach and disassociation from two generous boosters. All they did was provide free motel lodging for players and relatives and loan cars to the QB. The cars were the sexy part of the story: Porsche, Jaguar, Corvette and an almost new Chevy Blazer. In bringing down the curtain, Frank J. Remington, chair of the NCAA Committee on Infractions,

made Tennessee feel almost heroic with his summation: “Where evidence of violations was found, the university was forthright in admission of responsibility and has taken significant remedial action on its own. … “The committee notes with appreciation the cooperation of the university, and particularly the candor and commitment to rules compliance demonstrated by President Edward J. Boling.” Tennessee football was penalized in 1991 for impermissible recruiting in the late 1980s. An assistant coach, charged with unethical conduct, lost his job. The Vols lost some scholarships and operated one coach short in 1992. The assistant was blamed for an assortment of improper contacts and for providing free airfare so a prospect could attend summer camp. An attempted cover-up compounded the case. The coach asked an associate to report false and misleading information to university and NCAA enforcement staff members. Bingo! Tennessee was put on probation for two years. Coaches got additional instruction on compliance issues. The summer camp was discontinued. The head coach was

found not guilty in that he didn’t know. The terminated assistant pursued other career interests. The NCAA summation said: “Because of the institutional corrective and disciplinary actions, the committee did not impose additional penalties. … Had the university not taken the actions it did to correct violations, discipline the assistant coach who was primarily involved and self-impose penalties on its football program, the committee would have considered imposing additional penalties.” What happened then and happens in most NCAA violation cases influenced Tennessee treatment of Pearl and staff. Athletic director Mike Hamilton made a pre-emptive strike. He fined and restricted the coaches. He proclaimed support, but when the heat did not subside, he paid them to go away. The difference in two decades ago and now is NCAA disposition. If the governing body is serious about discouraging cheating, Tennessee has a problem. As Carl might say, “dad gum.” He might go so far as “tough stuff.” Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Knoxville Zoo plans $14M renovation VALORIE’S CORNER | Valorie Fister

s Knoxville mourns the loss of Zoo Director of Herpetology Bern Tryon, plans are underway for a $14 million zoo renovation that includes upgrading the reptile exhibit currently ranked ninth in the country. “Bern was fantastic,” said Knoxville Zoo’s Curator of Herpetology Phil Colclough. “I know that is general, generic. He was fatherly to all of us and had an old-school style in a lot of ways. He taught us the tradition behind our practice. He was my best friend in the whole world.” Tryon lost a lengthy battle with cancer this month. His work will continue at the zoo, where officials are also launching a capital campaign for renovation projects that will span the next four years. “Knoxville Zoo’s reptile collection is one of the largest and most diverse in the country, but the current facilities allow only about 20 percent of the collection to be seen,” said Tina Rolen, the zoo’s assistant director of marketing. Rolen said the zoo’s new Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Center will be its first year-round, indoor facility. It is currently in the design stages and state-of-the-art technology will be used to “immerse visitors in the habitats of the animals,” Rolen said. She said the renovation project will be funded by contributions from the community and

the city of Knoxville. “We are really, really excited about it,” Colclough said. “We have hands-on design.” Tryon’s work was instrumental in creating the strong presence of amphibians and reptiles today at the zoo. He was also the state’s primary authority for his conservation efforts and knowledge of East Tennessee’s bog turtles. He was keenly interested in saving rare species of reptiles. Bog turtles are the smallest turtle in North America, growing to only about 10 centimeters in length at maturity. The breed spends most of its time covered in mud and in hibernation during the winter. It is protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act but is also highly popular on the pet black market because it is so small. These turtles live for about 20 to 30 years in their natural environment. Tryon’s research on bog turtles began in 1986 when they were found in one bog in East Tennessee. Today, Tryon leaves behind a growing population of bog turtles in sites all around East Tennessee. Tryon was highly honored for his work. He was recognized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He also held the Turtle Survival Alliance Turtle Conservation Lifetime Achievement Award. “With the passing of Bern

Tryon, conservation has lost one of its greatest champions,” said Jim Vlna, the zoo’s executive director. “Our Knoxville Zoo family has lost a friend and a highly respected family member. Bern had instilled his passion for conservation and animal care in his staff who will continue his important work.” Tryon worked for 27 years at the Knoxville Zoo after beginning his career in Atlanta in 1971. In Atlanta, he was a reptile keeper. His career then led him to Fort Worth Zoological Park and then to Houston Zoological Gardens before his 1984 arrival in Knoxville. His first position at the Knoxville Zoo was curator of herpetology. It was under Tryon’s direction that the Knoxville Zoo was awarded the Bean Award. That award is given by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and was given to Knoxville’s zoo for becoming the first in the world to successfully breed Papuan pythons. “He was really good at identifying our individual strengths,” Colclough said of Tryon’s people skills. Colclough described Tryon as “the turtle guy” and himself as “the snake guy.” “He was good at recognizing our talents and balancing them. There was a whole lot of leadership,” Colclough said. Colclough said Tryon’s position at the zoo has not yet been

Photo submitted filled. Colclough has led the department during Tryon’s illness and will continue until a new director is named. He said enticing the community to fall in love with reptiles may not always be as easy as it would be for animals like “the big, brown-eyed pandas.” But Colclough said reptiles do have one advantage over other an-

imals in terms of human interest. “With zebras, if they hate them then they walk by,” Colclough said. “But with reptiles, if they hate them … they come and look at them. “If they love them … they come and look at them.” Information about supporting the zoo can be found at www. knoxvillezoo.org.

Photos by Ruth White

Little dresses heading to Kenya At the beginning of February, Gibbs High Family & Consumer Science teacher Rebecca Young and a few students began a project to sew dresses from pillowcases. Less than four months later, the students got together one last time to fill a suitcase with 85 dresses. Katherine McBee read the story of the little dresses in the Feb. 14 edition of the ShopperNews and knew immediately that she wanted to help. “I had known for a while that I wanted to do something to give back to the community but didn’t know exactly what it was until I read the story,” she said. McBee has sewn with the students almost every Monday afternoon and considers it a blessing to be able to give back. “This project has helped me as much as it will help the girls who will get the dresses.” Blaine Anderson will travel to Kenya in August with Calvary Road Ministry and will deliver the colorful dresses to a village in the area. Young plans on sewing dresses again dur- Sarah Rhodes prepares to pack up the dresses ing the school year and hopes to have more that she and several classmates and community members sewed during the spring. people involved and more dresses created.

Garden party raises thousands The Fountain City Art Center’s largest fundraiser of the year, the Annual Garden Party Benefit Luncheon and Auction, was held for the seventh year in a row in the gardens of Ginger and Bill Baxter. The event raised $15,000 to be put toward the art center’s annual budget. Money was raised primarily through ticket sales and financial contributions from 240 guests and from the 54 silent and live auction items donated by local artists and area businesses. The table decorating competition was fierce, but the award for best table theme and decoration went to Jean Payne and Sharon Dobbins for a beachscape design. Another notable design was a table decorated by employees of Nostalgia on Homberg Drive, featuring a near-life-size “hippie chick” from the 1960s. If you would like to attend the garden party next year and host or decorate a table, contact someone at the center. Art Center hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. most Saturdays.

he Gay Nineties were quite a time in the history of Fountain City. The post office was established in 1890, and the town’s name was changed from Fountain Head to Fountain City because a Sumner County town had already claimed the Fountain Head name. In 1889, Col. J.C. Woodward (1841-1913) purchased 431 acres, including the park property, at a cost of $159,600 and an additional 14 acres and the 40-50 room Fountain Head Hotel itself for $27,500. Woodward soon built his home on present-day Broadway facing the entrance to Gibbs Drive. Robert A. McGinnis’ “Tidbits of the Past, Vol. II (2007)” described it in this quote from the Knoxville Daily Journal, Dec. 15, 1890: W.H. Dawn has the contract for Col. J.C. Woodward’s elegant residence, now being erected in Fountain City. This will be one of the finest and most complete residencies in the country and will cost about $20,000. Baumann Bros. are the architects. Since the buildings on Hotel Avenue had not been built, Woodward could view the park from his observation tower and named his mansion Park Place. Between Park Place and the park property with its massive spring and stately oak trees, the present plat bounded by Hotel Avenue on the north and Cedar Lane to the south, there was only a marshy swamp. The colonel had a vision that included a

Rule and Kindell have the contract for the dirt work and masonry. They will excavate about six feet and the water will stand about four feet. … The contract price for the lake is $5,000 besides the many other improvements to be made. By June 1, a romantic heartshaped lake was complete with a white gravel walking path surrounding it. White picket fences and gaslights completed a dream attraction for its time. Fountain City became a destination place for sweethearts, recently married couples and those still “young at heart.” A multi-course meal was available for 50 cents in Mary Donahue’s dining room at the Fountain Head Hotel. Prof. Guilliano, his concertina and his Italian Band led a parade down the steps to the Park Pavilion promptly at 6:30 each evening and provided a musical concert, followed by dancing. To end a perfect evening, a couple could stroll hand in hand around the lake, sit and talk on the benches on its perimeter and take the quaint Dummy Line train back to their home. No wonder they called them the Gay Nineties!

‘Reap what you sow’ KARM needs help By Greg Householder When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 19:910 NKJV) All of us have “stuff.” You know, the “stuff” that perhaps at one time you needed but perhaps not so much now. This “stuff” can be household furnishings, cookware or clothing – really just about anything that is what is called in the thrift trade as “gently used.” The Knoxville Area Rescue Mission Thrift Stores can certainly use your “stuff.” It might be a piece of furniture you have in storage, a sweater stuffed in a drawer or a pair of shoes you never wear in the bottom of your closet. It can be anything. Pete Zanoni of KARM spoke at Powell Presbyte-

The program is based on the biblical principle found in Leviticus 19:9-10. When harvesting one’s fields, leave a little behind for the poor. For the individual, there are many ways to help. One way is simply “clean house” to get rid of excess goods. Another way is to plan a churchwide rummage sale and call KARM to pick up Pete Zanoni of the Knoxville left over items.

Cavities? Not Me! : Should I worry about cavities if I don’t see or feel anything unusual with my teeth? : Most cavities can’t be seen by the naked eye until the tooth decay is well advanced. It’s important to have digital x-rays at your dental check-ups, for they provide a more detailed analysis of your teeth. Tooth decay

from a cavity can cause severe toothaches, for it leaves a hole in the tooth that exposes the nerve. In addition to filling the cavity, damaged areas may need to be drilled away to stop the spread of tooth decay. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups will help you prevent cavities, painful toothaches, damage to your teeth, and facing the dentist’s drill for a filling! Our goal at Family Dentistry is to provide solutions that optimize your dental health.

He remembers the girl who played sick, throwing up into a garbage can on the sideline when she needed to before running back into the game.

Bryants ‘going to the house’ By Sandra Clark Byron and Christa Bryant have raised a great family and helped hundreds of Halls and Union County residents through Byron’s law practice over the past four decades. Now it’s time for a new chapter in their lives. Byron Bryant is retiring, although he will complete his current caseload, maintain some corporate accounts and continue his unpaid position as city judge for Plainview. Clients can reach him at 922-7467 or at home, 992-6882. Christa Bryant is opening a new business, using skills she learned working in her husband’s office during much of his career.

Byron and Christa Bryant. Photo by Ruth White Legal Document Express: the name says it all. Christa will prepare legal documents for individuals or attorneys. She will make house calls to draft wills or medical power of attorney forms. She will meet you at the coffee shop or library. She can prepare documents for uncontested divorces or Chapter 7 bankruptcies. “After 30 years in the business, I know how to get the job done,” she says. And just as she supported Byron, he will support her, looking over her shoulder to review the documents she prepares.

“There comes a time when you want to scale down,” she said. “Byron still wants to work, but at a slower pace. Setting your own hours is a big plus and it’s easier to take time off.” “I’ve found very few people in Halls who want to drive uptown (for legal services),” said Byron. Going to the house might be a problem for some couples, but for the Bryants it means hanging out in a “log cabin” they built by hand on a 45-acre horse farm just up Tazewell Pike from Harbison’s. “Ahhh, it’s more a nursing home for horses,” Byron laughed. The elderly equines were ridden by his kids and now Byron uses them to pull a cannon in his hobby of Civil War reenactment, where he carries both a Union and Confederate uniform to see what’s needed. Christa also laughs, talking about the early days when “little Megan was 9, back in 1988, when we broke ground for the house. We finally finished it at Christmas 1992.” Byron picks up the story: “We cut timber, dragged in the logs and notched them.” “We lived like the Waltons,” said Christa. “We were building character,” said Byron. Part of that “character” passed to the kids: daughter Erin is now a family practice physician, based in Johnson City; daughter Shannon is associate publisher of Shopper-News; daughter Megan is a fitness professional with post-graduate work in business administration. Grandson Daniel Carey, 3, lives in Halls and enjoys nothing more than hanging out with “Bear” and “Gran.” Christa said they opened the law practice “with a typewriter and carbon paper.” Byron was one of the first lawyers to move to computers when he “borrowed money and bought that TRS-80 at Radio Shack back in ’81.” “That Trash 80,” said Christa.

Photo by Ruth White Byron shrugs off his Vietnam Era military service as a Russian linguist by saying, “that’s all I can say about what I did.” Married for 41 years, the Bryants have an easy-going camaraderie. Christa says their partnership has worked because, “Byron is a good man and we each had our area that we dealt with.” Legal Document Express and Christa Bryant can be reached via email at christabryant7467@gmail.com or at 922-7467.

Make Your Smile SPARKLE!

Just last weekend our Rural/Metro team transported two people to the emergency room with lawn mower related injuries. One Powell resident injured his foot with a mower, and a mowing accident in Seymour resulted in a teen losing his toes. Both of these were early morning accidents and most likely resulted from mowing while the lawn was wet and slippery. People often forget lawn mowers and other lawn equipment are power tools. Most lawn mower-related injuries are caused by human error and can be avoided by following some simple safety precautions: ■ Wear appropriate clothing, including shoes with heavy-duty, nonskid soles. Never work barefoot or in sandals or flip-flops. ■ Do not mow when it’s raining, when there’s lightning or when the grass is slippery. ■ Be careful on inclines. Walk-behind mowers should be pushed across slopes. Riding mowers should be driven up and down slopes. All inclines should be assessed for safety before attempting to mow them. ■ Pick up objects from the lawn before mowing and always discharge clippings away from people. ■ Handle fuel with care. Do not smoke while refueling the mower, and refuel in a well-ventilated area. ■ Always turn off the mower and wait for the blades to stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the discharge chute. ■ Always remove the spark plug before servicing a mower. Many people are hurt every year because mowers start unexpectedly when the blade is turned. ■ Review safety tips with younger family members who mow the lawn, and keep small children indoors while mowing. Please remember to take lawn maintenance equipment seriously and have a safe mowing season.

Just Ripe caters to both consumers and growers By Wendy Smith Kristen Faerker and Charlotte Tolley think the time is ripe for downtown denizens to be able to purchase locally-grown produce and organic food items seven days a week. Their new store, Just Ripe, opened a little over a week ago in the Daylight Building on Union Avenue. The goal of the venture is two-fold, says Faerker. It aims to provide fresh produce to customers and give local growers a venue for their products. Tolley is the director of the Market Square Farmers Market, which Faerker also helped to establish. The women spent years dreaming up businesses that involved food before landing on the concept of Just Ripe, which will soon offer food service in addition to its current retail selection. It’s a big idea in a little space. The store occupies just 1,200 square feet, including the office and a bathroom. Half is allotted to the grocery, to which new products are being added daily. The other half contains seating that will be available for eat-in customers when Just Ripe begins serving homemade prepared foods in June. Kroger, it’s not. But the limited number of items on the shelves are mostly organic and produced within a 200-mile radius of Knoxville. That includes bread, coffee roasts and beer for off-premise consumption. The refrigerated section has Cruze Farm milk and Dreaming Cow

Creamery New Zealand-style yogurt. “I call it a ‘food shop,’ not a full-service grocery store,” says Faerker. The store also offers bulk foods, like beans, pasta and grains, including whole wheat, soy beans and grinding corn. The grains meet a growing demand from those who want to make their own flour, she says. A selection of colorful produce is visible from the sidewalk. The regular hours of Just Ripe, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, will make local organic fruits and vegetables more accessible to customers than farmers markets, which are typically open once or twice a week with limited hours. After years of chatter about whether or not downtown can support a grocery store, the new store is one of four that are currently operating or on the launching pad. Aisle Nine, which opened last summer on Central Avenue in the Old City, offers both natural and conventional foods, a wide selection of beers that can be consumed on premises and necessities. The store also has fresh meats, and plans are in the works for a deli. A recent arrival to the downtown grocery scene is Jackson Avenue Market, located in the JFG Flats in the Old City. The announcement of a new specialty grocery store in the former General Store location at 504 S. Gay St. is expected later this week. Perhaps the appetite for downtown grocers will finally be sated.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Skin cancer survivor preaches sun safety The citizens of Apison, Tenn., have spent the month of May cleaning up after four tornadoes killed 39 people in this small community north of Chattanooga. At her church on the Sunday after the storms, Rachael Neal stood up from her pew and cautioned everyone as they made plans to help. “I told them that May is Melanoma Awareness Month, and that before they worked out in the sun to help after the storm, they should

May is Melanoma Awareness Month As you spend more time this month outdoors enjoying the sunshine, don’t forget to protect your skin NOW from FUTURE damage. Although melanoma causes most skin cancer-related deaths, when detected and treated early, it is often curable.

“I would tell the whole world if I could: Melanoma is America’s fastest growing cancer.”

Neal is passionate about protecting others from melanoma, and especially the harmful effects of too much sunlight. “I use to be the one who would worship the sun and cook my skin,” she explains. Today, Neal wears a hat, sunglasses and Melanoma survivor Rachael Neal (right) enjoys a moment on vacation with loose long sleeves if she’s going to her family. Pictured are: son Jake, husband Scott and daughter Victoria. Raspend any time in the sun. wear hats, sunscreen and sunglasses.

A new drug for melanoma On March 25, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new drug for late stage melanoma, a medication that was tested in part at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. Now manufactured under the brand name Yervoy (Ipilimumab), the drug is the first new medication for melanoma in 13 years and the first to offer extended overall survival for advanced stage melanoma patients. Yervoy may extend life for many patients and virtually cure a smaller percentage of others, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Rachael Neal of Apison, Tenn., was one of the first to enroll at Thompson in the trial in 2008 and did very well with it (see related story). The drug helps the body’s own immune system fight against melanoma tumors. In Neal’s case, it eliminated dozens of tumors she had throughout her body. Today she is tumor-free. For information about melanoma detection and treatment, call the Thompson Cancer Survival Center at (865) 541-1720. do not take it lightly,” she says. “It’s just been a very hard long journey, but I’m still standing and thankful.” For information about melanoma detection and treatment, call the Thompson Cancer Survival Center at (865) 541-1720.

pecially among young people. Melanoma is a cancer of the pigment cells in the skin. While very treatable when caught early, melanoma can also be deadly if it spreads. In 2009 in the United States, there were 63,000 new diagnoses of melanoma and about 8,600 deaths. There has been a 50 percent increase in the disease among young women since 1980. One in 50 Americans will develop the disease in his or her lifetime. It is

people ages 15 to 29 years old. The sun’s ultraviolet rays are thought to be one of the main triggers for melanoma, although genetics and immune system functioning play a part as well. People with light skin and blond hair, or those who have many moles, are most susceptible. Those who have had serious sunburns before the age of 18 or a family history of melanoma also have an increased risk of melanoma.

N Any mole that is asymmetrical, has an irregular border, has variations of color within it or is larger than 6 millimeters should be evaluated by a health care provider. N Any redness or swelling beyond the mole, itching or bleeding, oozing, or scaly appearance should be reported to a doctor.

Grand opening of Jo’s Grove

The Land of Make-Believe It was Mr. Rogers who first told most of the folks my age that playing pretend is important. Now that Daniel is making up stories and acting things out with his toys, I wish Fred was still with us, to change into a cardigan and talk about the Land of Make-Believe. It’s hard for us grown-ups to detach from reality and just play like kids. I’ve been observing Daniel’s burgeoning pretend play for a while now. He talks to and talks for his toys, and those conversations never fail to bring a smile to my face. I love the way he mixes genres. There are no boundaries to his play. His fire truck and firefighter will pay a visit to his zoo playset, or Woody from “Toy Story” will pop over to the roundhouse to say hi to Thomas the Tank Engine. While Daniel does have action figures, and sometimes he makes them fight, that boy-type play can turn sweet. Take, for example, the time I found him playing with Batman and Anakin Skywalker. They fought for a minute, then Batman hugged Anakin, said sorry and kissed his “boo-boo” to make it feel better. As an adult, it’s been hard to inject myself into these stories, but I think I may have finally gotten the hang of it. The other night, right before Daniel’s bedtime, Zac and I were having a tough time getting the kiddo pointed in the direction of bed. He wanted to ride his big, stuffed dragon George around the house instead

moms101 of going potty and brushing teeth. Time for a mommy stroke of genius. “Buddy, I think the dragon wants to go potty, too!” I chirped. I scooped the dragon up and said in my best growly voice, “I need to go to the potty.” Daniel ran into the bathroom and lifted the lid to his potty seat. “I think I need the big potty. You sit on the little potty, Daniel,” said the dragon. Yes, the dragon did sit on the potty, but I couldn’t bring myself to make sound effects. Daniel companionably sat on the potty, too. “Time to brush teeth,” said the dragon. “You use your toothbrush, and Mommy will brush mine.” Daniel happily brushed his teeth as I brushed the dragon’s. George the Dragon joined in story time and even kissed Daniel goodnight. Zac said George sounds a bit too much like Jamie from “Mythbusters,” but I’m proud of my mad pretend skills. Henrietta Pussycat, eat your heart out. Contact Shannon Carey at shannon@ ShopperNewsNow.com.

Critter Tales

Lemon cupcakes perfect for holiday picnic By Ruth White Memorial Day weekend – a time when area pools officially open, parks begin to fill with the sounds of happy children and family gatherings include good food. People who know me well know that I rarely will pass up desserts. Sometimes dessert comes first and then the main course will follow. I have few childhood memories that don’t include making mud pies, Play-Doh cookies sold in a “bakery” or decorating dozens of cookies for friends. Yes, dessert is an important part of the meal. If you’re looking for a simple but yummy treat to take to the next picnic or family gathering this summer, try lemon cupcakes with raspberry filling. They are delicious straight from the oven while still warm or frosted with a tart lemon icing. Don’t worry; these cupcakes are made in a miniature (one-bite) size so they won’t completely ruin your bathing-suit-ready diet. To make this treat, you can use your favorite lemon

The perfect addition to a Memorial Day picnic – mini-sized lemon cupcakes with raspberry filling. Photo by Ruth White cake recipe from scratch or pick up a boxed mix at the store. If you don’t make cakes from scratch, you’ll need the following ingredients: one box of lemon cake mix (I like Duncan Hines), 3 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1-1/3 cup water, seedless raspberry jam, 2 16-ounce containers lemon frosting and garnish. Preheat oven to 350° and line cupcake pan (should hold 24 miniature cupcakes) with paper inserts. Mix ingredients according to package directions. Fill

cupcake tins slightly more than half full with cake mix. Spread a small dab of jam on top of mixture. Bake for approximately 10 minutes. Cupcakes are done when the top springs back when gently touched. Yield: approximately 6 dozen mini cupcakes. Once the cupcakes are cool, fill a pastry bag with icing and use a star tip to decorate. Gently squeeze icing in circular motion on top of cupcake to cover. Garnish with lemon wedge, fresh raspberries or sugar sprinkles.

Center that gave community members the first opportunity to receive the newest copy of the guide that provides public education, names and phone numbers of services for senior adults.

Directory sponsors were on hand at the celebration answering questions, providing resources and reaching out to the community. Important topics discussed included lowering utility bills; hiring reliable, honest in-home services; heart rhythm screenings; tips on elder law; and more. “The directory is not only a useful tool for any senior adult,” said Kathy Burke with the Office on Aging, “but it is also a handy guide for family members and caregivers.” The guide not only provides contact information for agencies and companies, but gives a brief explanation of services provided, such as adult day services, crisis assistance, medical care, live-in help and others. The Senior Service Directory is made possible through the generosity of 91 area sponsors. Directories will be available for free at area sponsors, Knox County Public libraries, Knox County Senior Centers, through health care providers or at the Office on Aging, 2247 Western Ave.

Hey, hey, hey, it’s Fat Albert! This 6-month-old male Syrian hamster is very gentle, loves fresh fruits and vegetables, and enjoys running on his wheel. He would fight with a cage mate, so he must live alone always. Although hamsters are small, their care can be an involved process and one that might be best for a family rather than a child. Hamsters require weekly cleaning, fresh food and water daily, and toys and other objects for play and exploration. Their lifespan is relatively short at only one to three years. Albert would make a great first pet. The adoption fee for Fat Albert, who is not really fat at all, is a budget-friendly $5. His cage and other accessories must be purchased separately.
