And Sandra Clark is mumbling again. You see, the project is both over-budget and unnecessary since the county is building a new elementary school elsewhere.

Yet six members of the school board put it ahead of many more needed projects.

|

… for road projects

By Sandra Clark R. Larry Smith has brought the skills he honed in insurance sales to his job as county commissioner. He just won’t quit until he’s closed the sale.

So it was no surprise when he assembled state and local leaders to his office in Halls to discuss Smith the progress on pending road projects. State Sen. Becky Massey and state Rep. Harry Brooks joined Steve Borden and Amanda Snowden from the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Jim Snowden (yes, they are married) from Knox County Engineering and Public Works. We learned: Emory Road in Powell: The five-laning to Clinton Highway is ahead of schedule. “(Potter Construction) has made a lot of progress,” said Borden.

Hwy. 33 Bridge: Has been rebid and a contract could be let in September, said Borden. TDOT rebid the partially completed project after supports for the new bridge

were built too close to the existing bridge.

Harbison’s Crossroads: The new intersection of Emory Road and Tazewell Pike will have a traffic signal and be “no-choke,” said Borden, with each approach having a right turn lane, left turn lane and through lane.

Massey asked TDOT and Knox County to consider widening Tazewell Pike from the intersection to Gibbs Elementary School, but called it “such a big headache” because of required utility relocation and slopes.

Norris Freeway at Hwy. 33: This major intersection in Halls has been designed and right-of-way acquired at a cost of almost $1 million, Jim Snowden said, and now the project awaits state funding.

“This is a no-brainer,” said Smith.

“We have the room to do what we need to do to solve the problem.”

The design calls for moving the southbound side of Maynardville Pike to eliminate the grassy median area and create a road with a simple intersection with adequate turnlane capacity and a left-turn north on Hwy. 33. An additional traffic signal would be installed at Hwy. 33 at Andersonville Pike.

Construction estimates range

■

Will a 195-foot communications tower be constructed across from the entrance to Sterchi School? The Metropolitan Planning Commission will consider U.S. Cellular’s request to build such a structure on land owned by Trinity Church when MPC meets at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

Jean Greer says the neighborhood “will be there in force” to oppose the project.

Greer, long active in Dogwood Arts Festival leadership in Fountain City, lives nearby. She and neighbor Charles Henry successfully obtained a 30-day delay at the August MPC meeting.

Since then, the neighbors, U.S. Cellular and the church have been unable to reach a compromise.

The company says the tower must be built on the highest point. The church will receive income from the company. And Greer just wants to block the tower from the otherwise residential area.

“Sterchi School is the flagship of our community,” she said. “We are proud of our neighborhood and the visitors who come for the Dogwood Trail. We just do not want a cell tower here.”

U.S. Cellular identified four sites for towers at the August MPC meeting. Two were approved – one in the parking lot of Beaver Dam Baptist Church in Halls and another on Facade Lane near I-75 in Powell. The third site, on Washington Pike in the Alice Bell neighborhood, also was deferred and will be considered this Thursday.

from $11 million to $15 million.

“When can you start?” Smith asked Borden.

“We are in the early stages,” said Borden. “Obviously, this is something the locals are interested in. … This intersection is not in our 3-year plan.”

Jim Snowden said Mayor Tim Burchett will send a letter to TDOT, requesting funding.

Widening of Hwy 33: This five-lane improvement is already designed and funded, Borden said, and it awaits approval by environmental regulators.

Funding: TDOT Commissioner John Schroer will tour East Tennessee projects Oct. 15-18, Borden said, and he hopes to bring him to Halls. Schroer visited Harbison’s last year.

The commissioner has asked us to “right size” projects, Borden said.

As fuel economy goes up, TDOT gets less money since the gasoline tax is flat per gallon. Borden said the department will get about $100 million less this year because of fewer vehicle miles driven. Yet costs of petroleum-based construction materials have dramatically risen. Liquid asphalt cost $150 per ton just a few years ago, now it’s $400, he said.

Knoxville Business Liaison Patricia Inés Robledo will speak to the Fountain City Business and Professional Association at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, in the fellowship hall at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City. Robledo will present “From the Andes to the Smokies: A Journey from South America to East Tennessee.”

She will also speak about her duties in Knoxville. All are invited. Lunch is $10.

funds, hoping Dr. McIntyre would recognize us for one-time capital improvement priorities. We are very hopeful.”

Sanger has been collecting school data and statistics since 2010, and she has bedrock proof that Shannondale is deserving.

Here are some of her findings: Shannondale had the thirdlowest square footage per student in Knox County (96 square feet per student) in 2010, and the secondhighest percentage of students in portable homeroom classrooms in Knox County (145, for 33.6 percent) in February 2012. Now there are 178, for 44.5 percent.

The portable buildings house nine homerooms, including all

have one designated adult toilet in the building.

PTO co-president Carolyn Hooper echoed Sanger’s optimism.

“We are very hopeful and thrilled that the school board unanimously passed the Shannondale addition, and hopefully, all will go well with the County Commission vote,” Hooper said.

Sanger, like other parents at Shannondale, reports that she is very excited about new principal Jack Nealy, who is energetic, optimistic and hands-on.

“It says great things about Shannondale that he actually transferred his own children here. That shows he has a vested interest in the school.”

three 5th grade classrooms, three 4th grade classrooms and a speech and language plus a special education/resource teacher, all sharing a portable classroom.

“We have an art teacher teaching art from a cart,” Sanger said.

“Art and music share a space, but she basically stores her materials there and goes into classrooms.”

The portables don’t have bathrooms, so the children have to go into the main building, losing instructional time and braving the elements. There have been no additional toilets installed in the main building since it was built in 1955 to serve a student population of 250. Now, there are more than 400 kids plus 48 staff members who

By Betty Bean It’s been a rough few years for Shannondale School parents and patrons, who have had to deal with well-publicized mold, overcrowding and personnel problems.

Unaccustomed to good news, they liked the way it felt when superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre recommended that Shannondale get $4.1 million for a new addition from the school system’s $13.9 million capital surplus, pending County Commission approval.

“We’re very excited about Dr. McIntyre’s recommendation for an addition and the school board’s approval,” said Shannondale Foundation president Tracie Sanger.

Coffee Break with

What is one word others often use to describe you?

People call me smart, but I’m not sure why. In my opinion, I’m just good at faking it.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I’d like to get in better physical shape.

What is your passion?

I love, love, love traditional archery.

I’m also pretty fond of throwing axes and spears. In fact, I just enjoy hurling pointy things at targets.

Shannon Carey

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?

Shannon Carey, Halls High grad (1995) and Maryville College alum (1999), is general manager of ShopperNews. But on weekends she heads for the woods to hurl “pointy things at targets.”

She and husband Zac have a son, Daniel, 4. Shannon is learning to sew because it’s hard to buy medieval apparel off the rack. And she sings in the choir at St. James Episcopal Church. She is president of the Halls Business and Professional Association.

Shannon’s parents, Byron and Christa Bryant, have written wills and handled legal matters for half of Halls over the years. Inspired by the English teachers at Halls High School, especially Denise Pennington, Shannon took a writing/communications degree in college with a minor in theater. She still remembers her role as Celia in “As You Like It,” a reboot version, she calls it.

She started work at Shopper-News in the summer of 2005 after she and Zac moved back from Savannah. “I wanted a job where I could use my degree,” she says. Sadly, she got hired here.

So settle back with a cup of coffee and get to know Shannon Carey.

My husband, Zachary Carey. He has never expected me to change to suit him, like so many of my beaus did. He has always loved and accepted me for who I am. That was important for a girl who always felt awkward and out of place.

I still can’t quite get the hang of …

Walking over cobblestones without tripping.

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

A typewriter. I was 10 years old.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

People are way too preoccupied with how they look to be very concerned with how you look.

What is your social media of choice?

Facebook

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

I’m a sci-fi and fantasy nerd, so I have a lot of favorite quotes. The “Lord of the Rings” is a movie now, so I hope this counts. Frodo: “I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.” Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

What is the worst job you have ever had?

I was a telemarketer selling add-ons to credit cards for a hellacious four-month stint. It was a dark midnight of the soul.

Even waiting tables was better.

Shannon Carey, in costume, stands with her longbow.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?

What are you guilty of?

Being quick to judge, being too busy and having a weakness for chocolate.

I didn’t just fall. I tried to catch myself, so the fall was more like a tragic stumble that lasted for half an hour.

What is your favorite material possession?

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

My bow, given to me by my sister Erin for my birthday last year. I use it for target archery at medieval events with the Society for Creative Anachronism.

What are you reading currently?

“In the Company of Others” by Jan Karon.

What was your most embarrassing moment?

When I was in high school, a boyfriend of mine was hosting a concert in his family’s barn loft. When it was time to meet the band, I tripped over a piece of farm equipment and fell flat on my face. The worst thing was,

“Dungeons & Dragons.” I’ll let you guess why.

What irritates you?

Bad writing and bad phone etiquette.

Have a Guinness in a pub in Ireland where local musicians are playing. Have sushi in a hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop sushi bar in Japan. See my son graduate college.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

Neil Gaiman. He’s my favorite author. He wrote the Sandman series of comic books in the late ’80s and early ’90s, “American Gods,” “Coraline,” “The Graveyard Book,” “Neverwhere.” He’s my hero.

What’s one place in Halls or Powell everyone should visit?

The Halls Outdoor Classroom. That place is really lovely.

What is your greatest fear?

I’m a mom, so my greatest fear is that something bad will happen to my son. It’s hard to balance the need to keep him safe with his need to explore.

Visiting Waterville Waterville, Maine – Jim and Judy Marine took one look at the great state of Maine, fell in love with Vacationland, and bought a house.

They have been summering here for a decade. They help serve meals to those in need, eat a lot of lobster and love showing off their adopted state.

Jim grew up in Halls. He was the Halls High band’s first drum major, graduating in 1952. He went to UT and graduate school at Columbia and spent his career in academia. He met Judy while working at Ball State.

They have been married for 35 years.

Autumn has arrived in this beautiful state, one that boasts, “The Way Life Should Be.” Gentle rain fell as we picnicked in Acadia National Park. It continued in Bar Harbor, that charming coastal town, climax of the

I bought a book about this coastline by Christopher Camuto at Sherman’s.

“Time and Tide in Acadia.”

Awesome.

We ate fresh lobster ($4.99/pound at the grocery). I went a few rounds with the dead red crustacean. Jim told me I needed more practice, that’s all.

Dr. Richard Hornberger, late of Waterville, wrote the novel “MASH” under the nom de plume Richard Hooker, by the by.

Henry Knox (Knoxville, anyone?) had a home here called Montpelier. We passed by.

The formal part of our day ended at Owls Head Headlight. The Maine rain began to fall. Fog rolled in to the shoreline. The lighthouse was bright. The fog horn didn’t blow.

On the way back to Waterville we passed Hussey’s General Store. Its marquee boasts: “Guns, Wedding Gowns, Cold Beer.”

Carter Middle gets a gym I’m still mumbling about the school board. It approved an over-budget contract for $2.75 million for a new gym at Carter Middle School.

The gym was necessitated by a plan to renovate the present Carter Elementary School. When Tim Burchett jumped in and found funding to build a brand new elementary school down the road, the need for a new gym at Carter Middle evaporated.

Then the bid came in at $3.1 million instead of the budgeted $2.5 million. Officials whittled it down to $2.75 million and brought it back to the school board.

Property Assessor Phil Ballard even showed up. He said he played basketball in that Carter gym and, well, since it’s only 80 feet long (instead of the standard 94 feet), he was one of “a few little Hornets” who couldn’t run the length of the floor at newer, more modern gyms.

“The gym was built in 1950. My father played there; I played there. It’s time for this project to be approved.”

Thomas Deakins, Indya Kincannon and Gloria Deatheridge raised concerns and wanted the vote delayed. But bid-winner Merit Construction helped lobby the board and suddenly people who’ve probably never been to Carter lined up to support the gym.

Race close in District 13 House District 13 will be a battleground for the next 57 days. This district stretches from northeast Knoxville to Sequoyah Hills and across the river to Mount Olive and South Knox County.

Victor Ashe

With the exception of the Steve Hall-Anthony Hancock race, it is the only political game in town. The other Knox districts either have only one candidate or the competition is weak.

Rep. Jimmy Duncan and Sen. Bob Corker will clearly carry Knox County in their races for the U.S. House and Senate.

However, Gloria Johnson and Gary Loe are in a toe-to-toe battle. The Democrats are determined to hold the Harry Tindell seat and Republicans are anxious to add it to their column. Both candidates are working hard.

Johnson, 50, the Democrat, has a bachelor’s degree in special education from UT Knoxville. She was previously married, lives on Brice Avenue and teaches in South Knoxville.

If 10,000 vote in the district (compared to just 2,800 in the August primaries), then 5,000 votes will elect in a three-way race.

It’s hard to tell who independent Nick Cazana will take votes from.

Johnson claims support from numerous officials such as council member Finbarr Saunders, state Rep. Joe Armstrong, County Commissioner Amy Broyles and school board members Indya Kincannon and Pam Trainor. Mayor Madeline Rogero is a $500 donor which is $300 more than she gave Hancock.

Johnson hopes to have Rogero host or co-host events.

She said her first bill will be one to give preference to Tennessee contractors. She wants to serve on the education and transportation committees. She supports President Barack Obama, saying, “He has done a good job creating jobs (despite) a do-nothing Congress.”

Johnson criticized Gov. Bill Haslam for “signing the Gateway (sexual activity) Bill and not standing up on other bills.” She agreed with Haslam on pre-K proposals.

Johnson thinks it is more important to take the state sales tax off groceries than repeal the Hall income tax for seniors. She said she is opposed to the voucher program for schools and lifting the cap on class sizes. Loe favors immediate repeal of the Hall Income tax for persons 65 and older.

She declined to take a position on party registration and a closed primary saying there are good arguments on both sides. She said she will vote her convictions regardless of how the Democratic caucus might vote.

Johnson has held numerous neighborhood receptions and plans more including one to be hosted by former architecture dean Marlene Davis. Loe has catching up to do in that area.

Both have numerous yard signs. Johnson has secured free publicity worth thousands of dollars because the Republican-controlled election commission closed the Belle Morris precinct.

Johnson wants a series of debates which should be interesting if they materialize and both candidates will need to prepare carefully for them.

They could determine the winner.

■ Ray Lee Jenkins is term limited as Knox GOP chair. Ruthie Kuhlmann is actively seeking the position. Her front yard is well located on Kingston Pike near Western Plaza. Each election cycle it sprouts yard signs for various Republican candidates.

She is intensely active in GOP internal politics and is conservative. No one else has surfaced as a candidate at this time.

■ Steve Hall could benefit from a “sleeper” campaign by teacher and former Vol Anthony Hancock, who has not raised enough money to wage an effective media campaign. Speaker Beth Harwell will host a reception for Hall at the home of former Vice Mayor Joe Bailey on Sept. 18.

This is a major event for Hall who is normally a very low key candidate and officeholder. As an eight-year City Council member, he said the least of all nine members. He is a solid conservative vote.

After helping Tony Norman get elected County Commission chair, Amy Broyles congratulated him and said she was leaving.

She’s been suffering an itchy allergic reaction to a spider bite and the hives were breaking out again.

Betty Bean Before she was out of her seat, Norman put his hand on her arm, closed his eyes and prayed for healing, serenely ignoring a snickering onlooker who was comparing him to televangelist Ernest Angley.

Norman is a serious man and a walking contradiction – a Republican who commands respect in the “green” community, a career educator best known for his fierce opposition to the school board budget.

The notion of handing this guy a gavel gave developers, public school activists and Chamber leaders equal shares of the heebie-jeebies.

So what does a retired high school science teacher whose wife was a high school business educa-

tion department head have against the school system?

As in most matters, all you have to do is ask him.

“I worked directly under some of the central office employees at the building level before they were elevated, and they were some of the worst people I ever worked for,” he said.

“I am not associating these things with Dr. (Jim) McIntyre, and I’m not saying any names. But if you can’t administer a building, how can you administer a system?”

The son of the late Rex Norman, an old-school politico who served two terms on commission, Tony was elected in 2006 after being recruited by supporters of then-Sheriff Tim Hutchison to “take out” his nemesis, 3rd District Commissioner Wanda Moody. They soon discovered Tony was not a chip off the old block.

“I told them, ‘You wanted me to knock Wanda out of that seat, and I did. I just paid you in full.’ After the primary, they dropped me like a cold biscuit.”

That’s hardly surprising.

By primary night, it had become apparent that Tony actually believed all that environmentalist stuff. Before the end of his first year,

■

he was saying that Moody had been right about a lot of things. During his first term, he started working on the Hillside and Slope Protection Plan, which would consume three years and further alienate him from traditional Republicans, developers and the Chamber.

He got into the leadership race late. His opponent, Brad Anders, had been campaigning for months.

“The only reason I got in is because I thought the commission needed an alternative … somebody needed to step up.”

Did ‘shenanigan’ cost Anders the chair?

Commissioners are asking why County Clerk Foster Arnett started nominations for chair in District 9, where Mike Brown sat ready to nominate Brad Anders.

Amy Broyles said Arnett’s ploy was “orchestrated to give Brad the best possible advantage.”

Sam McKenzie said the vote was “a close call for me, but I didn’t like the way the vote was done.” Previously undecided, he was the swing vote for Tony Norman.

Arnett is flabbergasted at the complaints.

“I did it because Mike Brown asked me to,” he said. “He came up to me before the meeting, put his hand on my shoulder and asked me to start in the 9th District. You can be sure I won’t do it next time.”

Brown confirms asking Arnett to change the voting order. “We don’t always have to start with the 1st District,” he said.

When asked why he did it, Brown replied, “Just to be different.”

“I’m not accusing (Arnett) of violating commission rules. The issue is that we have a right to expect consistency, especially on as important a matter as who is chair. We don’t want to go back to the old way of doing things,” said Broyles.

Bedelle recalls Knox desegregation Almost immediately after the end of the Civil War, Tennessee, along with other states, declared that education for blacks and whites “must be equal.”

Anne Hart

Just a year after that, however, the Tennessee state constitution was amended to say that while the education provided would be equal, the two races must be taught in separate schools.

It was almost a century before that all began to change as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the landmark Brown v. Topeka Board of Education case.

In 1954 the high court held that “separate but equal” was inherently unequal and ordered school systems nationwide to desegregate “with all deliberate speed.”

Nothing was done right away in Knoxville to comply with the court’s decision.

Quite the contrary. A vocal and majority white population bitterly opposed it, and the all-white board of education dug in its collective heels and waited.

Former Knoxville City Schools Superintendent Dr. Fred Bedelle, who is writing a book about the integration of the local system, told West Knox Rotarians at their meeting last week that it was still another 20 years after that 1954 ruling before the very last court case involving equal education in the Knoxville city schools was finally closed.

He said the story of school integration in Knoxville “is a part of our history that shouldn’t be lost.”

Bedelle recalled that while the court had mandated that the schools be desegregated “with all deliberate speed,” in Knoxville, blacks focused on the word “speed,” while whites latched on to the word “deliberate,” choosing the verb form, which is defined as “to discuss, ponder, consider, etc.”

And deliberate they did, through the district, circuit and federal court systems on numerous aspects of desegregation.

At the same time, scattered attempts were made by black parents to enroll their children in the white schools that were closer to their homes than the allblack schools their children had been attending. They were consistently turned away and told to complain to the board of education if they were unhappy. Most

parents declined that option for fear of losing their jobs or other forms of reprisal if their names were made public.

The exception was the father of Josephine Goss, who owned his own barbershop and thus didn’t have to worry about being fired. In 1959, he and 16 others filed a suit titled “Josephine Goss et al v. The Board of Education of the City of Knoxville, Tennessee.”

One of the 17 was Theotis Robinson, who would later be elected to Knoxville City Dr. Fred Bedelle Photo by Charles Garvey Council.

Florida is a monster foe TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

O

nce upon a time, Tennessee versus Florida was THE September game in the Southeastern Conference. It drifted down to become just a game, relevant to combatants.

Suddenly, it is again the biggest game of the year for Tennessee. Win and all things are possible. Lose and you start over with Akron.

From the perspective of UT fans, losing and losing magnified the importance of this one-sided rivalry. The Gators have won seven in a row and 16 of 22 since they became every-year opponents.

They spoiled several seasons.

If the Vols hear the Saturday crowd, they might gain an emotional edge. This game generates purple passion. Alabama is a respected foe, a historical yardstick.

Georgia is sassy. Fans long ago picked Florida as a team to hate.

Sometimes Florida has had better ideas. Often it seems to have better players. Remember Danny Wuerffel and Tim Tebow

and Heisman trophies? Jabar Gaffney had magic hands. He caught a touchdown pass so fast, we couldn’t see it – even on replay.

Brandon James was a perfect punt returner. Alex Brown was master at beating the snap count.

There are so many memories, starting with espionage and the unbelievable Jack Sells fax. There was great joy in seeing a disgusted Steve Spurrier spike his visor.

There was pain in his verbal jabs.

Urban Meyer helped put Phillip Fulmer out to pasture but failed to punch out the punk. Florida defeated Tennessee in 2009 but it wasn’t by 50. CBS pointed post-game cameras at Lane Kiffin, brash boy coach. Urban was traumatized.

My favorite games? The overtime triumph in 1998 stopped a five-game fade. The Gators endured six turnovers. Al Wilson, linebacker on a rampage, delivered devastating blows. He hit one guy so hard, I fumbled my Coke in the press box.

Not to decide is to decide CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.

(Romans 7: 15 NRSV)

Since the days of coach Steve Spurrier, Florida has been a monster foe for the Vols. In this Aug. 30, 2012, file photo, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier yells to his team during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Vanderbilt in Nashville. Spurrier said afterwards what matters is the Gamecocks played hard down the stretch and opened SEC play with a 17-13 road victory over the Commodores. AP Photo/John Russell, File That was the night Deon Grant gave us a one-handed pick and Jeff Hall hit the clutch three-pointer and Florida missed and the goal posts came tumbling down.

The hurricane game, 2001, postponed from September until December, was an absolute delight.

The Vols were 18-point underdogs but nobody told Travis Stephens.

I enjoyed 1990. Dale Carter returned the second-half kickoff for

The questions we ask our neighbors (and ourselves!) are these, among others: “Can we recognize our part in the problem this time?� “How can we choose differently next time?� “Will we choose differently next time?�

In the course of all this consideration of decisionmaking, I began to wonder about the word itself. What

a touchdown and that was the beginning of the end. The final was 45-3. Oh my.

Two years later was the cloudburst and a 31-14 rout. Florida had plane trouble on the way home.

One player quipped that the Sunday headline would say Gators Killed Twice.

Not so much fun was 1994-9596 – lowlights included a 31-0 rout, 48 unanswered points and five

does it mean to decide, and where in the world did such a funny word come from?

According to Webster, it literally means to cut off, and implies the cutting off of debate, doubt, or wavering; arrival at a solution that ends uncertainty. It came by the same route as so many of our wonderful words: from Latin, through French, then Middle English.

I was asked on one oc-

Florida touchdowns in less than 20 minutes with 107,608 in the house.

The next year, 1997, wasn’t all that great. At the peak of frustration, a Peyton Manning pass turned into a Tony George TD. One of the worst was 2007. The Vols rushed 22 times for 37 yards.

This Saturday will be much better, maybe even good enough.

casion, in front of hundreds of people, including three adjudicators, what was my worst fault. I was 17 – young, but not stupid – so I hesitated, unwilling

to confess my faults to the crowd before me. I finally saw an escape route. “Indecision,�

I answered. Decisively, I might add.

P

aul is a thorn in the side of many Christians (to use his own metaphor).

He was a Pharisee of the Pharisees – a Law-(as in Torah)-abiding citizen of the Jewish faith. He was also a bundle of contradictions.

He was a proud man who learned humility, but he was proud of it. On the other hand, Paul was also honest about his struggles, about his doubts and fears, about his sinfulness.

Most honest Christians admit to having a love-hate relationship with Paul, because we see ourselves in his ambiguity. We know what is right and good and just and merciful. And sometimes we choose to do the exact opposite, even knowing that we will feel miserable after the fact.

I have seen dogs and small children, not to mention otherwise intelligent grown-ups, make a similar decision. Myself included.

I am reminded of Red Skelton’s character, the “Mean Widdle Kid� who said, “If I dood it, I get a whippin’.� Then he decides, “I dood it!�

The other day, I mused aloud to a friend that we are – every one of us – the sum of our decision-making (good and bad). Likewise, decision-making is at the center of every conversation I have in my day -to-day work. Folks find themselves in a bad situation (sometimes, though not always, because of bad decision-making) and come to us for help (a good decision).

James Harvey Smith (1840-1932) HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin James Harvey Smith (18401932), a fourth generation descendant of John Adair, inherited the land at the intersection of North Broadway and Tazewell Pike from his father, John Smith (1795-1883).

The acreage was a part of John Adair’s North Carolina Land Grant Number 28, given in recognition of Adair’s services to his country during the Revolutionary War. John Adair’s granddaughter, Mariah Christian (1802-1883), married John Smith (1795-1883), who purchased 474 acres from Adair for $1,000. He built his handmade brick home on the property in 1839.

James Harvey was born the seventh of nine children of John and Mariah C. Smith on Jan. 17, 1840, in the home at Tazewell Pike and Broadway in which he would live his entire 92 years. He would spend his youth working on his father’s farm and attending school in the community.

James Harvey enlisted in the 1st Tennessee Cavalry Regiment (USA) at Cumberland Gap on April 1, 1862.

He originally was the first sergeant of Co. C, but was promoted to 2nd Lt. effective July 28, 1864, and to 1st Lt. on Dec. 7 of that year at only 24 years of age.

Few units saw more action in the Western Theater of the Civil War than the 1st Tennessee Cavalry. For much of its service, the intrepid Colonel (later General) James P. Brownlow, youngest son of William G. “Parson” Brownlow, led the regiment. They were in action at Cumberland Gap in June 1862 and, by early 1863, were engaged in Middle Tennessee south of Nashville from Franklin and Triune to Shelbyville.

They participated in the skirmishes leading to the Battle of Chickamauga near Chattanooga on Sept. 19-

20, 1863, and then were detached northwest to fight at Winchester, McMinnville and Sparta.

In December 1863, the 1st Tennessee fought around Morristown, Tenn., against Longstreet’s retreating Confederates after the Battle of Fort Sanders. After their saber charge at Mossy Creek (Jefferson City) on Dec. 29, Col. McCook wrote in his report, “The gallant 1st Tennessee Cavalry, and their brave young commander, Lt. Col. Brownlow, added new laurels to their brilliant reputation by the splendid saber charge they made.”

During January 1864, the regiment was scouting and skirmishing in Cocke and Sevier counties and they then joined Sherman’s campaign to Atlanta. They fought at Resaca, Ga., on May 14-15, 1864. After frequent skirmishes south of Resaca, they were engaged at Lost Mountain on June 16 and at the Atlanta suburb of Newnan on July 31, 1864.

In September, after the arduous Atlanta campaign, they were assigned to intercept Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalry south of Franklin. They continued to participate in Gen. George Thomas’ march toward Nashville, from early September through November 30, 1864, and then in the final assault on Nashville on December 15-16 of that year.

From Jan, 27 through Feb. 10, 1865, they were assigned to reconnaissance as far south as Corinth, Miss. before returning to Nashville.

Although Lee had surrendered to Grant at Appomattox on April 12, the regiment was not mustered out of the service until June 14, 1865.

The 1st Tennessee had marched over 13,000 miles, rendered distinguished service and buried their dead in seven different states. Of

the total of 1,493 men enrolled in the regiment during the war, there were 333 lost through battle wounds or disease.

Upon his return from the war, James H. Smith married Margaret Ann Anderson on Feb. 7, 1867. James and Margaret had four daughters: Lucinda Adeline (Broome), Mary Christian, Sallie Douglas and Fannie Gertrude (Coile).

As his grandson Harvey Broome would write years later, James H. Smith demonstrated his skills on the farm. Broome said his grandfather could “… shoe a horse, cradle a field of wheat, make a pair of shoes, slaughter a pig, milk a cow, chop wood, grind a blade, grease a wagon, and handle a horse with certitude.”

In 1923, local historian Kate White interviewed Smith. He reported that he helped his father (John Smith) to pull down the old fort and house of John Adair. They were among the last to see the ven-

erable stockade that had protected and supplied so many pioneers traveling through East Tennessee to settle Middle Tennessee.

Probably the most prominent person in Smithwood (the community named for his father) during his lifetime, James H. Smith was active in the First Tennessee Cavalry Association, in community affairs and in the Washington Presbyterian Church. He became a charter member of Shannondale Presbyterian Church when it was formed in 1886.

On Aug. 1, 1932, James Harvey Smith passed away in the house in which he had lived his entire 92 years, except for his three years in the service of his country. He was

survived by three of his four daughters and three grandchildren, William S. Broome, Harvey B. Broome and Margaret Broome (Howes).

His services were held in his home by the Rev. W.P. Stevenson.

The prominent relatives and friends from the community who served as his pallbearers were Rogers Tillery, Robert S. McCampbell Sr., Shannon Anderson, Samuel Sanders, William S. Broome and Harvey B. Broome. The family burial plat is in Greenwood Cemetery.

The historic Smith mansion served descendants of the family until 1960 when it was demolished to make way for commercial development.

Corryton kicks off coupon book sales

Ashley Boruff and Justin Dennis shared with the student body what Corryton Elementary means to them.

Corryton Elementary recognized as Reward School

By Ruth White Sitting on top of a hill in the small community of Corryton sits a school that some considered closing to help with the school budget crunch.

That school, Corryton Elementary, was recently recognized for the wonderful things that happen in each classroom. Thanks to the hard work of staff members, students and parents, the school was recognized as a 2011-2012 Reward School.

This honor is given to the top 5 percent of schools in the state for annual growth and academic achievement. Corryton is one of only 10 schools in Knox County earning the designation.

Knox County superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre, for-

mer principal Sandy Roach, County Commissioner Mike McMillan and a gymnasium packed with proud students and parents celebrated their accomplishment, and new principal Jamie Snyder vowed to keep this positive movement going forward.

McIntyre praised the students and staff for their achievement, calling them “an extraordinary elementary school.” Said Commissioner McMillan, “This is quite an achievement and a lot of people don’t realize what small schools can accomplish.”

Corryton parent C.H. Qualls spoke, first thanking Roach for the precedent she and her staff set for the school while an administrator. “This is where my wife and I wanted our children to

grow up,” he said. “We want our children at Corryton Elementary for two reasons: the wonderful community support and the high test scores.”

Qualls called the school “the most amazing school” and is proud to be part of the community.

Fifth grade students Ashley Boruff and Justin Dennis spoke briefly on why they love their school. “I have taken in a lot of knowledge while at Corryton Elementary,” said Ashley, “and I know that it has prepared me to be successful in 6th grade.” Justin added, “The teachers have taught me to always try and do my best. They have taught me to shine.” Teachers have also taught Ashley about school pride and being a positive thinker. When talk of closing the school surfaced, she wanted to raise enough money to keep it open. A big dream?

Maybe. But it came from a girl with a big heart for her school.

Raley Qualls enjoys the coupon book celebration at Corryton Elementary. The theme for this year is the Olympics and students will be awarded medals and prizes for book sales.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Big shoes to fill Leadership Academy grad is new principal at Sequoyah

S

By Wendy Smith

equoyah Elementary School principal Alisha Hinton is young, energetic and a prime example of the type of leadership produced by Knox County Schools Leadership Academy.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also home-grown. During her fi rst week on the job, she received flowers from Annie Hendrix, her 3rd grade teacher at Powell Elementary.

Hinton still lives in Powell within a five-mile radius of both sets of grandparents. One grandmother, Ruth Mayes, was Knox Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fi rst female school bus driver. (She also was the fi rst person to land a plane at the Powell Airport when she took a break from a flying lesson to milk the cows. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another story.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandparents taught me that I could do anything,â&#x20AC;? says Hinton.

She worked at Vaughn Pharmacy during her teens and toyed with the idea of being a pharmacist. Ultimately, she realized she loved being around kids and chose to be a teacher.

While at UT, Hinton interned at Halls Elementary School.

Upon graduation, she accepted a job teaching 3rd grade at New Hopewell Elementary in South Knoxville. The small school turned out to be a perfect fit for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew every child in the building. It was four really good years.

I took on a leadership role that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been possible in a big school.â&#x20AC;?

Hinton completed an Education Specialist degree at Lincoln Memorial University while teaching at New Hopewell. She then jumped into the bigger pond of Brickey-McCloud Elementary. In spite of its large enrollment, Brickey-McCloud felt like a community school, she says.

By 2009, Hinton was ready to take on a new role in a new part of town.

She was hired as assistant principal at A.L. Lotts Elementary. In 2010, she became part of the inaugural class of the Leadership Academy.

The 12-member class included a wide range of education professionals, like curriculum coaches, guidance counselors and teachers from Kindergarten through 12th grade.

It created a rich place for conversation, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got to see all the working parts of a huge district.â&#x20AC;?

Leadership Academy fellows spend Monday through Thursday at their schools and Fridays in class at UT. Personnel from Knox Coun-

ty Schools team with UT staff to teach the classes, and those practicing partners make the program unique, says Hinton.

One of her biggest career accomplishments is the student leadership team she put together while at A.L. Lotts. The school doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a safety patrol or student council, and she thought it was important for students to have a voice.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face new challenges at Sequoyah Elementary, the biggest being value-added growth, given the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic excellence. The task is made easier by the Sequoyah Elementary Foundation, which provides funding for extra personnel, like math and literacy coaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have parents who are backing academic progress, not just hosting parties,â&#x20AC;? Hinton says.

According to Knox County Schools, Sequoyah has the smallest percentage of economically disadvantaged students of any school in the county. Only 11.5 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. But Hinton says that all Knox County schools are rich with excellent administrators, many of whom have participated in the Leadership Academy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The academy provides a great bank for (Knox County Schools

Hill has been a cheerleader to Hinton through emails and phone calls. The new principal acknowledges that she has big shoes to fi ll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even looking at those shoes.â&#x20AC;?

Shannondale recognized for academic achievement

By Ruth White Jack Nealy took over as principal of Shannondale Elementary this fall. Walking through the doors, he knew he was in a special school, but just wasn’t sure how special. That was until he received notification that Shannondale was recently named a Rewards School for the 2011-2012 school year.

Shannondale was given the honor of being in the top 5 percent of schools in the state in academic achieve-

ment. Only 10 schools in Knox County were honored and Nealy gives credit where it is due. “No one group gained this achievement,” he said. “This is the work of everyone up and down the line.

By “everyone” Nealy credited the staff members, students and parents for working hard, and the custodians, bus drivers and cafeteria workers who make an impact in Shannondale students’ lives.

With the honor comes great responsibility, and Nealy is eager to move forward and pursue excellence for all students and challenge them. “The bar has been set and the staff is more than happy to continue doing great work.”

Nealy is pleased with the recognition of what he and the Shannondale community already know – their school is one of the best kept secrets in Knox County.

Fountain City UMC Net Director Misty McComas. Photo by C. Taylor

Kids safe at The Net of Net director, she knew she had found her true calling.

Although she still works part time in film, McComas said it was time to stop volunteering and start a career in youth ministry.

“This is a vital community ministry,” she said. “I am challenged and a bit out of my comfort level since I am working, for the first time, with kids who may or may not attend church.”

The program provides “a safety net” for students as soon as McComas picks them up from Gresham. At The Net, they receive love from workers who care about them as individuals.

The Net is subsidized by church members to keep tuition low for an age group that McComas says is often overlooked. There are 13 spaces with just a few openings left for this semester.

Registration forms are available at the church or online at www.fountaincityumc. org.

By Cindy Taylor Gresham Middle School students may still enroll in the after-school program at Fountain City United Methodist Church.

Director Misty McComas says The Net is a safe environment that provides snacks, tutoring with homework and recreation with peers.

McComas, a member at Fountain City UMC since age 4, left a career in broadcasting to accept God’s call to youth ministry. In fact, she had arrived at LAX and was en route to an interview for a training program with the Directors Guild of America when she decided that career was not worth the sacrifice.

Yes, she could move away from family and friends, leave her hometown and contend with the stress and expense of training in Los Angeles, but she wasn’t willing to leave the youth of her church.

When offered the position

Remembering, reconnecting Boys and Girls Club to host reunion

By Ruth White The Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley is hosting an alumni reunion Wednesday, Sept. 26, at the Caswell Avenue location.

The event will run from 6:30-9 p.m. with a program at 7:30. The reception is open to former members, staff and participants of the athletic programs.

The goal of the event is to reconnect with people who attended the club and

to give them an opportunity to reflect on their experiences there. “Come back to the future and enjoy old friends and memories,” said Sports Camp director Mike Capps.

Judge Tim Irwin fondly remembers “learning to swim, playing basketball for Elliott Stroupe, making gifts for my mother in the shop and never wishing I was somewhere else when I was at the club.”

The event is free for club alumni and they are encouraged to stop by and

walk the halls, reminisce and reconnect. This is a great opportunity to meet president/CEO Lisa Hurst, who replaced John Lee when he retired with more than 40 years of service.

Dress for the evening is casual attire. Those interested in attending the event are encouraged to RSVP and to share a memory of their time at the club.

Info: 232-1073 or email alumni@bgctnv.org. Check out the club’s Facebook page at facebook.com/bgctnv.

Clayton and Betty Sharp

Sharps honored as Covenant Health Senior Stars Betty and Clayton Sharp of Corryton were honored as Senior Stars by Covenant Health on Aug. 28 at the Tennessee Theatre. The Sharps were honored for their continuing volunteer work at Tennova Residential Hospice and the Museum of Appalachia, as well as lifetime volunteer work in various church, civic and public service organizations.

For the sixth consecutive month, property transfers in Knox County outnumbered those from the same Witt period in 2011. For the month ending on Friday, Aug. 31, there were 837 property sales recorded by our of-

fice – that’s 56 more sales than occurred during August a year ago.

For the month, the total value of real estate transferred was $142.6 million, or about $40 million less than in July and $17 million below the total from August 2011.

Mortgage lending actually rose slightly in August. About $325 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to $315 million during July. Last

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Robotic Surgery at Fort Sanders results in quick recovery for prostate patient With a family history of prostate cancer, John Dunlap of Knoxville was careful to have a yearly PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test, a blood test that screens for prostate cancer.

“My father and uncle both had prostate cancer. So, for about the last five years I’ve been careful to have it checked,” says Dunlap, who at 58 is an avid cyclist and hiker.

He manages the Advanced Microscopy and Imaging Center at the University of Tennessee.

During a routine physical in the fall of 2011, Dunlap’s doctor found that his prostate gland was an irregular shape and referred him to the urologists at Fort Sanders Regional. There, physicians watched Dunlap’s PSA levels for several months, diagnosing him with prostate cancer in January 2012.

Because it was at an early stage, and prostate cancer is typically slow-growing, there was not a rush to treat it. Dunlap could have chosen traditional surgery, radiation treatments or just watching and waiting.

But instead, he decided to have his prostate taken out by urologist Dr. Kevin Art using the DaVinci Surgi- get worse, and I consider myself young,” explains Dunlap. cal System at Fort Sanders.

The DaVinci Surgical System, “I certainly saw no point in waiting, because it could only commonly called “robotically-

John Dunlap chose robotic surgery at Fort Sanders Regional after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is already participating in long distance bike rides again.

assisted surgery,” uses computercontrolled instruments (directed by the surgeon) to control robotic arms with surgical instruments

attached. They do surgery through tiny incisions with precise movements. And that means a quicker recovery and fewer complications

Screening is key to stopping prostate cancer More than 214,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, according to the National Cancer Institute. Aside from skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and is one of the leading causes of cancer death.

Since it often has no symptoms in its early stages, physicians recommend that men have yearly screening for prostate cancer starting at age 40.

“For all men, basically one in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime,” says Dr. Kevin Art, a urologist affiliated with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

“For African-American Dr. Kevin Art men, it’s one in three.” The typical prostate cancer patient is between the ages of 50 and 70.

“For most men there are no symptoms of early disease,” explains Dr. Art. “For the majority of men, the only clue that cancer is present is an elevated PSA blood test or an abnormal rectal exam.”

The PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test looks for a substance produced by the prostate gland.

Elevated PSA levels may indicate cancer, inflammation, or just an enlarged gland. Either way, the PSA is such an easy test, there’s no reason not to do it, Dr. Art says.

“From our standpoint as urologists, the numbers speak for themselves as far as the improvement in the prostate cancer mortality rate since its induction,” states Dr. Art. Another exam used in a diagnosis of prostate cancer is the digital rectal exam (DSE). This is a procedure in which the physician, using a lubricated, gloved finger, examines the size of the prostate

through the rectum. If there is an abnormality, a biopsy test is used to confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

If it is cancer, Dr. Art says only about 10 percent of men diagnosed will die from the disease, thanks to early detection from PSA screening. “Nowadays, the vast majority of cancers that are detected are localized (contained just within the prostate) and that offers the option for curative treatment,” he says.

Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy or what Dr. Art calls “active surveillance.”

“We follow the cancer in some cases. For some men with low-grade, low-volume disease, you can follow along without undergoing immediate treatment,” he explains. “Obviously that’s a decision that has to be made based on pathology, overall health and patient preference.”

For surgery to remove the prostate, outcomes are very good with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s DaVinci Surgical System, commonly called “robotically-assisted surgery.”

The robotic arms of the system perform surgery through tiny incisions with precise movements, controlled by the physician at a nearby computer console.

Smaller incisions often mean faster recovery time and less postoperative pain. “Surgery with the robot allows us to provide a minimally invasive treatment.

Patients tend to go home the next day,” says Dr. Art. And in most cases, the prognosis is good for treatment of prostate cancer. “By and large, prostate cancer can be slower growing than other cancers,” says Dr. Art. “For many men it’s a cancer you die with – not from.”

For more information about the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, call 865-673-FORT (3678) or visit www.fsregional.com.

than traditional surgery.

“The recovery time with me was amazingly quick,” says Dunlap. “It was just a few small incisions and that was that. I went in one morning and was released the next day around lunchtime. I was home for two weeks, and then I went back to work and resumed normal activities.”

“I did not have any problems at all, no pain, no real discomfort other than a catheter for 10 days,” he adds. “I teased Dr. Art about doing nothing more than making a couple of small incisions.”

Best of all, there are no follow-up treatments scheduled for Dunlap. “I was fairly lucky it was caught at an early stage,” he says.

Since the surgery, Dunlap is back to riding his bicycle several times each week, including 50 to 60 miles on Saturdays. Dunlap says the robotic surgery option at Fort Sanders is something he would recommend to others.

“It was great,” he exclaims. “The people in the operating room were very nice, and the nursing care afterward was good. I have absolutely no complaints about it.”

September is ...

National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month ■ Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men.

■ On average 1 out of every 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.

■ Prostate cancer occurs mainly in older men. The average age of diagnosis is 67 years old.

■ Although prostate cancer is a serious disease, most men do not die from it.

More than 2.5 million American men diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.

■ African-American men are at a greater risk for getting prostate cancer than white men. You’re especially at risk if your relatives are from sub-Saharan Africa.

all I want is my bed. A sick shelter dog is at the mercy of the staff who must be a temporary rock to lean on.

For folks who may have second thoughts about adoption at a shelter after learning of the illness at YoungWilliams, let me remind you of the numerous illnesses dogs can come with when purchased from a breeder.

Upper respiratory is treatable, and a facility with a strong strain of the virus can be easily sanitized. I’m sure Young-Williams will be spotless after getting a good scrub down. And that is more than I can say for some breeders’ consciences.
