By Jake Mabe The Cedar Crossing Homeowners Association in Halls has approved a project to help alleviate flooding in the condominium complex The Village at Cedar Crossing adjacent to the subdivision. Knox County watershed coordinator Roy Arthur says several complaints were received through Knox County Stormwater Management and that a study was commissioned through the Tennessee Water Resources Research Center.

A drainage pipe had also blown at the subdivision’s one-acre common area during a rain event. “There wasn’t a lot we could do in The Village,” Arthur says. “The study said we had to do the work up here (in the subdivision). So, we came up with a design for a bio-retention basin.” Arthur says the plan calls for a 4-foot excavation in the common area, replaced most of the way with rock and sand, and sod on top. “It will infiltrate the first inch of

Arthur says an application has been submitted for grant funding for the project. Homeowners association president Chris Lay confirmed the plan has been
approved per the receipt of the grant monies. “We’ll know within (a week) whether we get the grant,” Arthur said. “If we don’t get it, we’ll go another route.” Ruth Anne Hanahan of the Tennessee Water Resources Research Center says the plan will also help reduce pollutants into Beaver Creek.

age for MPC director Mark Donaldson, who got slapped down like Oliver Twist pleading for a little more gruel when he asked for $100,000. It was money Mayor Tim Burchett had deleted from his budget request. Donaldson said MPC has experienced a bottom line loss of nearly $400,000 in operating funds since Burchett took office in 2010, via a combination of $200,000 in budget cuts and nearly $200,000 in rent hikes. Additionally, MPC received no incremental funds for the increased work load generated by the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan, a 3-year undertaking authorized by a joint vote of County Commission and City Council. This project was concurrent with the recession that torpedoed de-
velopment and further depressed MPC’s fee structure. “We had 44 people on staff five years ago. Today, we’ve got 36,” he said, explaining that his staff is having a hard time keeping up with its responsibility to update countywide addresses and the Knox County Geographic Information System and is not able to service developers’ permit and zoning requests in a timely manner. Also, MPC is no longer able to take on the contract work that once supplemented its budget, he said. MPC asked for $656,000 and got $556,000, which Commissioner R. Larry Smith, a former MPC commissioner, said was plenty. He To page A-8

OK, Halls High grads, family and friends. Perk up. It’s time to buy a brick. (Or two! Or three!)
Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS The Halls Alumni Association is making a fall campaign push of its own to sell bricks for the new Halls High Walk of Fame. Brick pavers like the one pictured on this page are available for $125 each. Bricks can be dedicated in honor of or in memory of an individual or can be personalized up to three lines (13 characters per line). They will be placed near the entrance to Halls High School. The project is a fundraiser which will help fund the alumni association’s annual scholarship. This is a good project and I’m not just saying that because I am the president of the organization. Halls High grad Ron Wallace has a passion to give something back to the school to which he says he owes everything. “Everything I accomplished is because of my parents and that school.� He and just-retired Halls High teacher and coach Chris Vandergriff have worked hard on this project. Construction on the Walk of Fame is slated to begin this week. Order forms are available at the Shopper-News office at 4509 Doris Circle during business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday). For more info, call Ron Wallace at 933-1288, Chris Vander-

Members of the Fountain City Town Hall board were surprised when more than 100 people showed up for Town Hall’s October meeting last week at The Church of the Good Shepherd. “We didn’t know anything about this when we had our board meeting,� said Town Hall board chair Kenny Cloninger. “As far as I know we will have a speaker from the Knox County Trustee’s Office. They just aren’t here yet.� When that speaker didn’t show up, Cloninger opened the meeting to Family Promise of Knoxville executive director Joyce Shoudy, since it appeared most attending were there to hear from a representative of that organization. Shoudy explained the purpose of Family Promise, which is to assist homeless families as a day shelter. “We are currently based in a 1,100 square foot space in Bearden and are hoping to purchase the Presbytery building on Cedar Lane and move there,� said Shoudy. Amber Bradley was among those in the audience who weren’t convinced the move would be in her best interest. “I am concerned about my property values and the type of people this will bring to the area,� said Bradley. Others who attended gave full support to the organization and the work they do. “I don’t understand why anyone would be opposed to Family Promise being in this area,� said Felecia Outseypettway, who brought her four children to the meeting. “I was once homeless and am a graduate of the Family Promise program. I am working and now live in a four bedroom house. Life is hard and this is an awesome program.� “There is a preconceived idea and fear of the homeless,� said Shoudy. “There are former homeless fami-

Family Promise would also need to raise the necessary funds before the purchase. Shoudy says all was going well for the move until an article about Family Promise appeared in a local paper. The article drew questions and concerns from residents who called the city of Knoxville to find out if the program was allowed to run services from the Presbytery building.

Alexander rocks U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander pretty much got rock star treatment from the enthusiastic crowd at last week’s meeting of the West Knox Republican Club.
Anne Hart
It was standing room only in the largest meeting room at Red Lobster on Kingston Pike, with still more guests and members of the media spilling out into the surrounding dining rooms, all to greet Tennessee’s former two-term governor, president of the University of Tennessee and sitting senator. And Alexander didn’t disappoint his fans. He posed for the cameras with babies, local politicians, old friends and new, warmed up his audience with his trademark folksy stories and then
got their collective Republican blood churning with predictions of a big win for presidential candidate Mitt Romney. “Every major crisis we have ever had in this country has been solved by presidential leadership, and Obama just doesn’t have it,” Alexander said. “He’s been a complete failure when you look at the big problems we have. “Romney’s biggest advantage is his ability to lead. It’s his best skill. America will have a brighter future with Romney as president and (Paul) Ryan as vice president. “I like it when Romney talks about how he worked across the aisle as governor of Massachusetts and got results. President Obama is a nice fellow, but he hasn’t been able to work across the aisle and get results, and I think the American people are tired of that. They want a president who can lead, who has presidential leadership and who can work with Democrats and Republicans to reduce the debt and get

Hart the country moving again.” Alexander said his three personal goals in Congress are: “To stop spending money we don’t have … to let states make their own decisions … to get results in Congress.” He deplored the tactics of Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader. “Reid is ruining the U.S. Senate by the way he leads it. We’re there to work for the people, we want the Senate to function so we can get our jobs done, but Reid won’t bring us a budget. It’s like being asked to join the
Grand Ole Opry and not being allowed to sing.” While not exactly a “hometown boy” – he’s a native of Blount County – Alexander, a seventh generation Tennessean, knew his audience well and played it perfectly. “Knox County is the heart of the Republican Party in Tennessee,” Alexander said. “We haven’t elected a Democrat to Congress from this part of the state since Lincoln was president.” The GOP faithful loved it and gave their senior senator a standing ovation.
Painter’s union spruces up Tarleton Burchett says the Tarleton campus is close to his heart. “I was in the legislature with a state representative from Chattanooga named Jack Sharp who grew up at John Tarleton and was one of the finest people I ever met.

The university will invite polite applause on Saturday. Coach will return to Shields-Watkins Field for a brief ceremony at an early stop in the Alabama game. If you are alert, you may even see Peyton Manning. The 1997 team will be there. For those who came in late, this Fulmer recognition is for 152 victories against 52 losses, a national championship and seven wins in a row over the dreaded Crimson Tide. Alabama remembers. Fulmer’s success ranks somewhere between outstanding and best-ever. His teams, against better opposition, fell 21 short of Robert R. Neyland’s career total victories. As you may have noticed, the stadium is named for the General. What Fulmer did is worth at least a bronze statue. Opinions remain divided about his 2008 exit. Some thought he stayed too long. Others are convinced Tennessee football would be much better than it is if he was still coach. Just the other day, a Shopper reader dusted off Ronald Reagan logic and
Phillip Fulmer
asked (via email) if we are better off than four years ago. He answered his own question this way: Eight wins used to be barely tolerated. Now, eight would be excellent. We’ll reserve that better-or-worse debate for later. I will say Mike Hamilton botched most of 2008 as it related to Fulmer. That spring, the athletic director gave the coach a new seven-year contract. In the summer he said, “I am very proud to have Phillip as our coach for many years to come. We are fortunate to have such a talented and proven coach leading our program.” Leading didn’t last long. That November, early in Homecoming week, Fulmer was fired. As we now know, changing coaches didn’t turn out real good. The initial miscalculation by the athletic director cost $6 million. Many more are still draining
away during this recovery period. Set aside the sad part. Now is a good time to remember the good times. It is meaningful that Phillip Fulmer is Tennessee through and through. He grew up in Winchester. As a recruit, he picked the Vols over the Tide. He thought he would be a linebacker but became an offensive guard for Doug Dickey. John Majors brought him back as an assistant coach and promoted him to offensive coordinator. He was a great recruiter. Dickey put Fulmer in charge during Majors’ 1992 illness and gave him the job after the controversial conclusion to Majors’ career. Fulmer highlights, in addition to the remarkable comeback against Arkansas and the national title victory over Florida State, were the 1992 romp in the rain over the Gators, the 1995 rout of Alabama (4114) that started with an 80-yard Manning to Joey Kent touchdown and the terrific 2001 triumph in the Swamp. I really liked the bowl victory over Ohio State, the 2004 win over Georgia in Athens and the unlikely rally at LSU in 2005. Thanks, Coach, for a hundred more good days than bad.

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself. (John 12:32 NRSV) Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2: 9-11 NRSV)
I
was drowning in paper that afternoon: reports, checks, check registers, forms, write-ups, vouchers, notes to self. Normally, I don’t mind. I am one of the few people on the planet (according to the results of my limited surveys) who still balances her checkbook every month. There is something pleasing and quite satisfying about wrestling all those numbers to the ground, lassoing them, and making them stand up tall and straight, in neat lines and perfect agreement. But on that particular day, I was not handling it well: unable, it seemed, to corral the information I needed without wading through a lot of other – apparently extraneous – names and figures. I should add here that math is not my native tongue. When I was in high school, I told my math teacher that algebra made my stomach
hurt. As my daughter Eden often declares, “We are musicians. We count to four.” (This, as her hand describes in the air a conductor’s pattern for 4/4 time). “If it is written in six, we count it in two.” This time she directs the simple up and down pattern for 6/8. Where the thought came from, I can’t really say. But there it was, fully formed in my brain. Paperwork is the antithesis of grace. It was such a revelation to me that I walked down the hall to my supervisor’s office, stuck my head in, and informed him of that new insight. He just grinned at me, but I saw the tacit agreement in his eyes. Paperwork is all about keeping records, keeping score, keeping track. Grace is about love, acceptance, inclusion, forgiveness: no adding up good deeds (or sins, for that matter), no keep-
ing score, no C-minuses. And along with the thought came a mental picture: St. Peter sitting at his desk at the Pearly Gates, with a great book (alongside stacks and stacks and stacks of folders!), checking the records for everyone standing in line, like so many customers at the bank. Then Christ shows up, and steps over to Peter’s desk and starts vouching for people. “She’s one of mine. Yes, I recognize him. Yes, this little one – in fact, all these little ones are mine. Oh, and that fellow over there, the one with the threadbare coat? He’s mine. The woman talking to herself? Yes sir, she is definitely one of mine.” Finally, in frustration, St. Peter says, “Are you just accepting everybody today?” And Christ holds out his hand over the crowd – a hand that still bears a scar right in the middle of the palm – and says, “All of these are mine. I died for all of them.” T hen, with that same nail-scarred hand, he rakes all of St. Peter’s precious paperwork right off the desk and beckons to the rest of the line. “Come into my house, and welcome.”

Litton named to Central Wall of Fame HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin Food – that’s what the Littons do. Grandfather Eldridge Litton (1899-1975), a native of Scott County, operated grocery stores in Oak Ridge and Lake City first but moved to Knox County in 1946. He established Litton’s Supermarket on Central Avenue Pike in Inskip and brought his son Edwin E. Litton (1922-1980) into the business in 1953. When a deli counter was added in 1962, the very first Litton Burger was served, costing 89 cents. Edwin Litton continued to operate the business until his retirement in 1976. He was elected to the Knox County school board in 1970 and served as its chair for five years before he resigned to serve as administrative assistant to county finance commissioner William Tallent. He also served as president of the Norwood Kiwanis Club and as a trustee of the Baptist Hospital board of directors. The third generation of Littons in the food industry, Barry N. Litton, added yet another dimension in 1983 when he founded the full-service restaurant that became North Knoxville’s most successful eatery. Barry Norman Litton was born to Edwin and Betty Rose Litton on June 6, 1951. He attended Fountain City Elementary School and the Tennessee Military Institute and graduated from Central High School in 1969. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps that same year and completed basic training at Camp Pendleton, Calif. He served at El Toro Air Base until deployed to Vietnam in 1971 where he served in I Corp (Force Logistics Command). When he was discharged from the Marine Corps, Barry returned

Barry N. Litton, Central High Wall of Fame Honoree. Following his service in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, Litton established a meat market on Essary Drive in 1980. home to join his father in the grocery business for the next seven years. In January 1980 he recognized an opportunity to open a meat market in Fountain City and found a suitable building on Essary Drive. He stocked the best of Western beef, serving as his own specialty butcher. About a year later one of his customers asked if he would prepare him a hamburger. There was an electric skillet on site and Barry did just that. The customer returned the next day for another, and the “Litton 10 Burger” was born, originally with 8 ounces of beef, bacon, cheese and French fries, selling for $1.99. The secret is in the beef ground on site from Colorado sirloin tip and/or chuck roast seasoned during the grinding with a secret blend of spices but without salt, which tends to dry the meat. Sometime later the electric skillet
was retired and replaced with a gas grill which allows the fat to drip onto the embers to enhance that special charcoal taste. Kelly Litton, Barry’s sister, presides over the kitchen where the Litton’s menu has evolved over the years to include daily Blue Plate lunch specials with various meats and fresh vegetables (beans, greens and potatoes) prepared on site and seasoned for East Tennessee tastes. The evening menu includes fi llet, T-bone and Kansas City strip steaks and chicken and fresh seafood (scrod, shrimp, oysters and scallops) flown in twice a week from Boston. And, of course, the baked potatoes and peel-on French fries have that special Litton touch. Demonstrating the expertise of the longtime bakery and dessert chef, Lynda Jones, Litton’s dessert menu is, as they say, “to
die for.” The menu includes the Baby Jane (a special strawberry shortcake), cheesecake, coconut and lemon ice box pie, German chocolate cake, bread pudding and several kinds of cookies. Litton’s Market and Restaurant has been recognized several times by Southern Living magazine and has placed first in the Best of East Tennessee polls for many years. It continues to be one of East Tennessee’s most popular restaurants. Barry Litton was chosen Fountain City Town Hall’s Fountain City Man of the Year in 2009. Goodwill Industries recognized him as Employer of the Year in April 1998 for supporting employees with disabilities for more than three decades. Quietly and without fanfare, Barry N. Litton has supported sports, recreation and civic causes in Fountain City, beginning with his arrival and continuing to the present. The Lions Club, the Fountain City Recreation Commission, Fountain City Park and Lake, Fountain City’s elementary, middle and high schools and many citizens old and young have been the beneficiaries of his counsel, kindness and assistance since he first established his business.
In the family tradition, Barry’s three children, Erik, Ashley and Elizabeth, have periodically worked at Litton’s over the years. Erik, a fourth generation restaurateur, has joined his father in the business. Barry and his wife, Jacquie, are residents of the Gibbs community. Barry Litton will be honored by the Central High School Foundation and the CHS Alumni Association at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, at the 11th annual Wall of Fame Breakfast. A highlight of the breakfast is the outstanding video with interviews of the honorees prepared by David Dixon, former band and technology instructor at Gresham Middle School. Proceeds from the Wall of Fame Breakfast will be being used to provide supplemental technology for the school, to help upgrade Central’s library, to support mailings for school organizations, to establish a contest for Web design by technology students and possibly for upgrades to the Heritage Room. Look for announcements of the other 2012 honorees in the Shopper-News and other media outlets. Tickets for the breakfast are $20 and may be purchased at the school office, by calling Larry Smith at 9225433 or by email to courtshea@ aol.com.

Heiskell Methodists celebrate 100 years By Theresa Edwards Heiskell United Methodist Church, located at 9420 Heiskell Road, celebrated its 100-year anniversary with a homecoming Oct. 7. The Rev. Dr. Adam E. McKee III, district superintendent, delivered the message. Other special visitors included former pastors Pat Bishop (2002-2008) and John Mays (1991-1998). Heiskell UMC began in 1912 and was located in the heart of the community. The little white church on the corner was known for the quaint bell-ringing to announce church services. It is the hope of the congregation to continue this tradition by
Heiskell UMC’s celebration dinner. Shown are: (from left) Angel Newberry, Dr. Adam McKee III, Charlotte McKee, Lee Bishop, Pat Bishop, Cindy Jett and Zoe Jett.

The war on planning took the merciless role of Mr. Bumble to Donaldson’s Twist, advising the MPC chief that, “We’re not doing much business. We just need to trim our budget back.” The MPC request went down by a 5-3-1 vote – it needed six – with Sam McKenzie, Amy Broyles, Mike Brown, Ed Shouse and Tony Norman voting yes. Smith, Jeff Ownby and Mike Hammond voted no. Dave Wright passed. Richard Briggs and Brad Anders were absent.
The mayors Interviewed after the meeting, Burchett was no more sympathetic to MPC’s plight than Smith: “The first budget, I cut them,” Burchett said. “They just keep working people from getting jobs. “We’re required by law to have an MPC, but I’d like to use them on a contractual basis in the future. Then if we need them, we’ll hire them.” The city, though, has appropriated $905,000 to MPC in each of the last three fiscal years, indicating support from mayors Bill Haslam and Madeline Rogero. Holding a master’s degree in planning, Rogero is unequivocal in her support for MPC: “The Metropolitan Planning Commission performs crucial work for the citizens of Knoxville, and the city is committed to continuing
From page A-1
support of its operations. Effective planning protects the property rights of residents, businesses and all property owners, and ensures that we balance short-term and long-term interests for the benefit of all Knoxvillians.”
The legislature Last year, state Rep. Frank Niceley introduced a bill to abolish MPC. The bill didn’t go anywhere, but Niceley did. He won the Republican primary and is likely headed to the state Senate. Sens. Becky Massey and Stacey Campfield, along with Rep. Steve Hall, have served notice that they intend to have another go at it next session when they sent separate letters to County Commission asking them to postpone action on subdivision regulations for ridgetop developments until the legislators address the issue next session. In a speech at a local Tea Party meeting, Hall said that MPC, which was established in 1956 to serve the city and county in matters of planning, zoning, and subdivision regulations as authorized under Title 13 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, “…has a philosophy on property rights that the property is yours until they want it.” Hall said Massey is leading the move to curb MPC’s powers. Massey seemed surprised by Hall’s statement:
“I know we’re looking at the regulations that are on the books, but we won’t start actively working on anything until January. The part that has caused some folks concern is there’s no real recourse if somebody disagrees with an MPC decision.” When told that contested MPC decisions are regularly appealed to City Council and County Commission, she said that she wasn’t sure what the exact problem was, but that her staff is working on it, “looking to see if it’s clear or if it’s vague. Some of my constituents have asked me to look at it.” When asked, she identified the constituents as “the development community.” Commission chair Tony Norman had a hard time disguising his contempt for the Massey/Campfield/ Hall request, which his colleagues voted to honor: “I am very disappointed that certain legislators are attacking planning. As we grow and progress, we don’t need less planning, and we’re going to pay in significant ways,” he said. “They are trying to take us back to the ’50s, and I greatly resent them sending a letter before the commission meeting asking us to defer an ordinance until the next legislative session. That was way out of bounds – they don’t call, they don’t talk to anybody and the goofy guys on commission let it happen.”
Test pressure rolls downhill By Betty Bean Educators say the third grade is a crucial year in a child’s education – before then, children learn to read; afterward, they read to learn. In Tennessee, it is the first year they are subjected to the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP), a battery of tests that will track their yearly progress until they graduate from high school. Katie Henegar Smith’s son David is in the 3rd grade at Sterchi Elementary School and he loves it. He is bright and eager to learn, and Smith is firmly committed to public education. But Katie Smith she worries about the effect of the pressure being put on young children. “My husband and I are involved in Cub Scouts, and every year at TCAP time, Facebook just explodes with parents saying, ‘Little Johnny’s been crying all afternoon. He can’t sleep. He’s worried about passing the test.’” TCAPs are administered in April, but Smith says now is not too early to talk about it, and that’s why she took her concerns to the school board, even though her son hasn’t suffered any ill effects. “My son has a phenomenal teacher, and we are so
Bankers Life and Casualty Company For the life of your retirement
thankful to the TAG (Talented and Gifted) teachers and the principal. We feel very blessed. It’s not the school. It’s countywide. “For example, at the first parent-teacher conference, we were told that the focus of the entire year is preparing our child for TCAPs. We heard about the TCAP weekly assessment that the children have to complete and the discovery test to set the benchmark for them. We were told to make sure they get plenty of sleep and that they eat well the day of the test.” She says she knows one child who is already very worried about making the grade. “We are told, ‘You know this pressure is coming from the state, not from us.’ Well, this pressure is rolling downhill right onto the shoulders of little 8- and 9-year-old children. It’s just not right. If this was just a situation with my son’s school, I could go to the principal, but it is an issue with the system. The only thing I can do to stop this for my son is to take him
out of public school. “But I’ve been very thankful for the resources my son’s been given by the public school system, I don’t feel I would get that elsewhere. Taking David out is not going to help those other kids. I have faith in Knox County schools and I love the new STEM Academy. If that’s still around when he is old enough, my dream is for him to go there. To have a place in the public system that offers opportunities like that, it’s unbelievable to me…” This was the message that Smith delivered when she spoke to the school board this month, and she says she was encouraged by board members’ demeanor and by a conversation with elementary director Nancy Maland. She is hopeful. “Children shouldn’t have that much pressure put on them at that early age. They’re not little robots – they’re children. Putting this pressure on them is going to make them hate school. Let’s prepare them to succeed, not for just one test.”

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers
A shared passion for teaching P
By Wendy Smith
arents pass on eye color, hair color and mannerisms to their children, but the days of passing on the family business are mostly gone. So it’s a surprise when a child chooses a parent’s career – particularly when it’s a challenging one, like special education.
The big game-changer in special education is technology. – Matt Coe West Valley Middle School special educator Matt Coe hadn’t planned to become a teacher at all. But a summer job at Camp Wesley Woods turned into a full-time job as an environmental educator, and he found that teaching appealed to him. So he obtained a teaching license through UT’s Become a Special Educator in Tennessee (BASE-TN) program. At the time, participants received tuition credit for committing to become special educators in Tennessee schools. Once he made the decision to be a teacher, special education was a natural choice. His father, Fred Coe, worked for Tennessee’s Department of Mental Retardation Services (now called the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) for 35 years. His mother, Priscilla Coe, became a special educator herself after working with mentally disabled adults for several years. Because of his dad’s job, Matt was used to being around kids with disabilities. When Fred worked at summer camps for disabled kids, Matt and his brother went along, and the family occasionally provided transportation for Fred’s clients. “My whole life, I’ve been working with this population,” Matt says. Priscilla began her teaching career in 1990. She worked at Dogwood and Beaumont elementary schools until she retired in 2005 – the same year Matt began his teaching career at Sterchi Elementary. There have been many changes in special education since Priscilla’s early days in the classroom, but some philosophies and practices have been consistent. The students Priscilla taught were very different from the students Matt currently works with at West Valley, where he has taught for five years. Many of her students were medically fragile, she says, and his students are gener-

ally higher-functioning. But Knox County’s special education program is individualized so that each child receives the attention he needs, no matter his ability level. “I had 10 kids, and they had 10 different programs. I was organized so I could do things in a group setting, but there were different goals for each kid,” she says. Each special education student has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) developed by the child’s parents, teachers, doctors and therapists – anyone who works with the child, says Matt. The IEP determines the accommodations and modifications the child needs in the classroom. Special education students spend as much time as possible in regular classrooms. The concept of inclusion was gaining momentum when Priscilla began her career in 1990. The primary goal of Knox County’s special education program is independence, and West Valley students work on life skills by going into the community twice a week to shop or visit a work site. Priscilla’s elementary-age students also took regular trips away from the school. Students could learn a

skill in the classroom, like counting money, but be unable to use that skill in another environment. If they practiced in multiple environments, they were able to generalize such skills, she says. The big game-changer in special education is technology. New software, like the SOLO literacy suite, makes word predictions and allows students to listen to what they write. Such modifications allow students to further participate in mainstream classrooms and even take benchmark exams with their peers, says Matt. With apps that allow students to communicate using both symbols and words, iPads and iPods have also transformed special education. “There’s less frustration. Now they can tell me what they want and what’s bothering them,” Matt says.
But it takes money to fully implement technology. The SOLO software doesn’t work on all of the school’s computers, and there aren’t enough computers to go around. “It’s a great tool, but it’s completely useless if your computers don’t run smoothly,” Matt says. “The things we can do with technology these days are incredible. But it’s all about money.” Proceeds from coupon book sales will help, but West Valley teachers are trying to think of additional ways to raise funds to update the school’s computer labs. Being a special educator is a never-ending cycle of trying new things, and days are often filled with paperwork and meetings, Matt says. But the payoff comes in the form of good days, like a recent Special Olympics bowling event, and academic progress, like the enthusiasm he’s seeing as his students study “The Three Musketeers.” “Most of the time, I love what I do.”
Fun with football Like all teachers, Matt Coe has to get creative to engage his students. One of his most popular ideas is his football and reading program. Each student picks a major league football team at the beginning of the season, and the class keeps a chart of each team’s wins and losses. Each student’s behavior and reading scores can bolster their team’s performance. West Valley Middle School principals and other staff members can participate, as well. So far, there have been no arguments about who gets which team, and Matt has been able to hang onto his beloved Miami Dolphins. “Some students pick the same team every year, but others want to win, so they do their research,” he says. The competition ends before Christmas break, and the winner receives an award. The basketball and reading program tips off next spring.

Class offers help toward GED By Cindy Taylor For those seeking to earn a GED, the process will become more difficult and costly after January 2014. This is bad news for the one in eight people in Knox County who do not have a high school diploma. Friends of Literacy volunteers at Fountain City United Methodist Church are helping students through that process before the new rules take effect. Jeanette Jensen is one church member who saw a need and started GED classes at the church three years ago. “I knew that my church would support any program to help further education,” said Jensen. “When I proposed it to Friends of Literacy
they didn’t have the funds or volunteers but would back us if we could provide those.” Presently the church has 10-15 volunteers who handle two semesters each year of the Learn Now program that prepares people for the GED. Twenty-one students from age 17 to 84 are enrolled this semester, which is the largest class ever. Amanda Abshagen is the program director for Friends of Literacy. “I supervise the GED classes as a go-between to answer questions and assist the volunteers,” said Abshagen. “We are always in need of volunteer teachers.” Abshagen said the upcoming changes for GED testing
include an increase in fees, electronic as opposed to paper tests and a credit card requirement. Susy Gray volunteers and organizes the classes with Jensen. “We focus on reading, writing and math,” said Gray. “If our students are proficient at those they will pass social studies and science.” Friends of Literacy also offers the Next Step program for those who earn a GED. Students can explore career paths and plan for the future. These classes will also be held at Fountain City UMC and begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16. Classes are free. Mentors are needed to assist these students.
Is your child ready for kindergarten? A free Kindergarten Readiness Festival will be held 3-5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4, for all rising kindergarten 2013-2014 students and their parents. Theresa Wishart, Knox County Reading Specialist, will speak to parents about important skills children should have as they start school. The Festival includes hands-on activities for children and parents alike. Reservations are required. This communitywide event is sponsored by AJCC Preschool, Knox County Schools and S.E. Knoxville Jewish Day School. Info or reservations: 963-8001 or www.kjds.org/Kindergarten.
Free flu shot Saturday The 18th annual Free Flu Shot Saturday will be held (while supplies last) 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 27, at Austin-East Magnet High School, Farragut Intermediate School, Halls High School, West High School, South-Doyle Middle School and Carter High School. Flu shots will be available to anyone age 4 and older. Donations to benefit the Empty Stocking Fund will be accepted but are not required to receive the vaccine. The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. The seasonal flu vaccine protects against three influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. About two weeks after vaccination, antibodies that provide protection against influenza virus infection develop in the body. Info: 342-6870 or visit www.knoxnews.com/charities.
Military Child of the Year Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit that provides assistance to military families, is accepting nominations for the Military Child of the Year awards to be announced in April. The award recognizes children who stand out among their peers. Ideal candidates demonstrate resilience, strength of character and thrive in the face of the challenges of military life. They embody leadership within their families and communities. An award will be presented to a child from each branch of service: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Winners will receive $5,000 and a laptop. They will also be flown to Washington, D.C., with a parent or guardian for a recognition ceremony April 11. Info: www.militarychildoftheyear.org.
Jeanette Jensen, Susy Gray and Amanda Abshagen prepare for a Learn Now class at Fountain City UMC. Photo by C. Taylor “We are trying to change the perception that it is better for employers to hire a high school graduate than someone with a GED,” said Jensen. “Our students are extremely hard working and
will make great employees.” The next semester for Learn Now begins in January. The program is free to students, and church volunteers provide child care and a free meal on Wednesdays.
When students graduate they are ready to test for the GED. Friends of Literacy is holding a fundraiser at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, at the Crowne Plaza. Info: 594-1507 or www.friendsofliteracy.org.
Asteroid-naming contest for kids Josh Emery, assistant professor in earth and planetary sciences at the University of Tennessee, works on the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission which is now hosting a contest that will allow kids under the age of 18 to name an asteroid. The international contest will help scientists find a new name for asteroid 1996 RQ36. To enter, kids should have their parents or teachers fill out a form with the name suggestion and an explanation of why the name would be fitting. The deadline to enter is Sunday, Dec. 2. Emery and other scientists working on the OSIRIS-REx mission have built a robotic spacecraft to send to asteroid 1996 RQ36 to collect samples for analysis. The mission began in May 2011 and will continue until 2025. It takes 1996 RQ36 about 1.2 years to orbit the Sun and could hit Earth within the next two centuries. The goal of the mission, Emery said, is to learn what conditions were like early in the solar system’s development. However, they also want to help protect Earth from the potential impact of the asteroid. “This will be the first time NASA has retrieved samples from an asteroid,” Emery said. The naming contest is sponsored by the Planetary Society, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Labs and the University of Arizona. For more information about the contest as well as guidelines for naming asteroids, visit http://planetary.org/name.

There are terrific clients out there who also want to be in Win/Win relationships. Finding them and holding onto them by honoring the Win/Win paradigm is the key to small business success in my opinion.
Watson said the group does only concept drawings, usually used to raise money. “We do not do construction drawings.” Working with volunteers and UT students, the Community Design Center takes volunteers from “Wouldn’t it be great if ...?” to “We’re ready to get started!” On Sunday, Oct. 14, the Knoxville PBS station aired a 30-minute documentary on the history, mission and work of the Center. Many of the founders were interviewed. Founders include Knoxville-based architects, landscape architects, planners, an attorney and a sociologist. The group has designed 126 community projects including the concept for Pittman Center; 193 landscape projects for parks and playgrounds; 59 facade enhancements; 160 community facilities; 175 rehabilitation and reuse projects; 51 housing projects; 24 graphic designs; 48 traffic calming sketches; and provided
technical assistance to 48 more projects. The group’s reach is the 16 counties of the East Tennessee Development District, Watson said, but it’s been known to venture a bit further afield. ■ Daniel Monday, chief operating officer of Slamdot, spoke briefly at last week’s PBPA meeting. “We don’t do marketing, buy ads or send press releases, but we design web- David Watson sites that work,” he said. munity cleanup on Emory The business was foundRoad from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, ed in 2005 and is headquarOct. 27.

HPUD bond re-fi could save millions
Why did you choose this career?
Like many CEOs, the career chose me. My father was a contractor. After graduating from UT in architecture, having a family to feed I had to get the highest paying job I could, with TVA in engineering. I then went to night school at UT and completed my master’s degree in engineering, which opened more doors for me inside TVA. During the downturn of the nuclear program in the early ’80s, I accepted a job as regional engineer for AISC, which led to my recruitment by a large commercial contractor in Memphis and subsequently a developer in Knoxville who helped me start Construction Plus in 1988. I took complete ownership of CPI in 1990 and the rest is history.

By Shannon Carey Refinancing two existing bond issues could result in some hefty savings for Hallsdale Powell Utility District. The HPUD Board of Commissioners heard from Larry Brown of Stephens Inc., on Oct. 8. According to Brown, with interest rates at an historic low, two existing bond issues from 2002 and 2004 could be combined and refinanced to save the utility district upward of $3 million. The board voted to be ready for refinancing by December. The utility set 33 meters and inspected 13 sewers in September. HPUD president Darren Cardwell said the

Temple Elementary welcomes grandparents
O
n Oct. 5, Temple Baptist Academy’s elementary school held its annual Grandparents’ Day. Parents and grandparents came, some from long distances, for the special program. The day’s festivities began with a program in the Curtis Hutson Center Auditorium. Each class presented songs, recited poems and quoted Bible verses. Temple principal David Whitaker spoke to the audience about the importance of the partnership that exists between the school and its families – including grandparents. “Temple Baptist Academy is here to come alongside families who not only want to provide a solid education for their children, but want an education that is built on a biblical foundation and belief in our creator God. It is this foundation that gives distinction to what we are providing in educa- Grandparents Emily and Leo Sullivan participate in classroom activities with their grandtion here at daughter, Temple 6th grader Mallory Sullivan.

Temple High School establishes STEM Society This fall, Temple Baptist Academy high school students are taking part in a new student club called the STEM Society. The society brings together students who share an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The purpose of the society
is to encourage students to explore, investigate, discover and connect with STEM subjects in a dynamic and practical way. The society provides a forum for students and club leaders to work together and explore many different ideas and activities related to STEM fields. Students who participate in
the society will gain an understanding of the relationships between their academic studies and the practical application of those studies in reallife settings. The STEM Society faculty sponsor is Tim Missey, who notes that the society is “designed to be a complement to

the curriculum, not a substitute for it.” Activities will include practical experiments, investigation, discussion and reflection. These activities are intended to be interesting, engaging, and enjoyable. “One of the goals of the STEM program is to motivate and build confidence in young people who struggle with STEM subjects, and provide an extra outlet for students who already show aptitude and are interested in furthering their learning,” says Missey. Society leaders outlined five objectives for the club:
■ To enrich, enhance and extend the Academy’s curriculum. ■ To inspire higher student achievement in STEM subjects through interaction and experimentation. ■ To facilitate collaboration between students, teachers and professionals in STEM fields. ■ To expose students to exciting opportunities in the STEM fields. ■ To provide guidance and inspiration to students who feel led by God to continue their education in STEM subjects beyond high school.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Where everybody knows your name: Family atmosphere keeps man coming back to Fort Sanders Therapy Center Aaron Mullis is no stranger to physical therapy. The 30-year-old Blount County attorney has done stints at several physical therapy clinics in and around Knoxville, and even in Chattanooga, thanks to a bad knee that’s needed surgery four different times. Mullis originally injured his knee during an unlucky fall in 2001 while he was a student at the University of Tennessee. On a recommendation from his roommate, he chose to do his knee rehabilitation at the Fort Sanders Physical Therapy Downtown Center near the UT campus. Mullis enjoyed his experience at the Fort Sanders Regional Clinic so much then, that now – 11 years later – after an April knee procedure, Mullis chose to travel from Blount County to do rehabilitation at the downtown Knoxville Clinic.
“I’ve always liked Fort Sanders PT and it’s really the great people there that keep me coming back,� says Mullis. During his recent stint at the Fort Sanders PT Clinic, Mullis’ physical therapist Erin McCallum worked with him to steadily increase his leg and knee strength. “After the knee surgery, the stairs in my house were giving me a lot of trouble,� remembers Mullis. “Erin helped me improve my balance and ability to move fast. I progressed from leg lifts to being able to run up and down stairs.� Mullis says the personal attention the staff gives each patient is what really sets Fort Sanders apart from other physical therapy clinics he’s tried over the years.
Aaron Mullis, pictured with his wife Rebecca and dog Mithrus, says the personal attention of the staff is what sets Fort Sanders Downtown Therapy Center apart from other clinics.
“At Fort Sanders, you don’t feel like you’re a patient on an assembly line. The staff is more like a group of your friends that are there to help you get healthy.� And that friendly atmosphere is what has kept Mullis coming back to Fort Sanders Therapy Center for more than a decade. “The staff has changed over the years, but the way they make you feel welcome hasn’t changed. I’ve never received anywhere else the one-on-one care I’ve gotten at Fort Sanders,� says Mullis. “Everyone there makes you feel they’re personally invested in helping you feel better.� For more information about the Fort Sanders Therapy at Fort Sanders Regional or the centers located in Halls or Powell, call 865-541-1300.
Getting the most from physical therapy
Fort Sanders Physical Therapy Downtown Clinic therapists Beth Heatherly (left) and Erin McCallum were recently honored by the East Tennessee Lymphedema Awareness Network as part of National Physical Therapy Month. Heatherly and McCallum are among several local therapists who specialize in lymphedema treatments who were recognized by the support group.
Celebrate Physical Therapy Month October is National Physical Therapy Month. The goal of the month-long celebration is to raise awareness about the crucial role physical therapists and physical therapy assistants play in helping people restore their mobility and live active and healthy lives. A physical therapist (or PT) is a health care professional who helps people improve movement and manage pain after an injury, surgery or chronic condition. They teach patients exercises to improve their physical health and strength. Physical therapists usually work in clinics, private ofďŹ ces, hospitals or nursing homes. A PT has at least a bachelor’s degree or an advanced degree like a master’s or doctorate. Physical therapists are aided by physical therapy assistants (PTAs) who generally have a two-year degree. All states require physical therapists to be licensed.
Each year millions of people undergo physical therapy to improve mobility and manage pain from an injury, surgery or chronic condition. Physical therapists teach people how to do exercises that will help them gain strength and movement and prevent recurring injury. For the treatment to be successful, however, patients have some responsibilities, as well. “The most important thing is to come to your therapy sessions with a positive attitude,� says Stephen Karp, manager of the Fort Sanders Downtown Therapy Center. “Coming to your therapy sessions motivated, in an optimistic state of mind, can help you progress faster and more steadily.� Here are some suggestions to help you get the most from physical therapy: ■Come prepared to work hard but not to feel pain. “To gain strength, you have to move a muscle to a point where it’s fatigued,� says Karp, “but not to a point where it hurts.� ■Communicate with your therapist. Not telling your therapist if you’re unable to do a certain exercise at home or if something hurts can delay your progress and recovery. ■Understand your treatment options. In some cases, your therapist will have several possible treatment options, and you should understand the pros, cons and risks of each. For example, your therapist may be able
to work with you at a slow, easy pace until you recover. But by taking a more aggressive pace, you may be able to recover more quickly. Be aware of the risks, such as an increase in pain that could slow or stop your recovery. ■Ask why you do the exercises you do. Understanding what the exercises should accomplish can help motivate you to stick with them. “Someone who has been bedridden may be asked to do a simple exercise like moving their foot up and down,� says Karp. “Unless they are told that this motion can help prevent blood clots, the patient might not be motivated to do it.� ■Try the exercises at home. If
you meet with your therapist only a few times a week, it’s important to do the exercises at home to make progress. ■Know what to expect after a therapy session. Asking how you might expect to feel one, two or 24 hours after a therapy session can ease your mind. “Ask your therapist if swelling, pain or stiffness is normal and what you should do if it develops,� says Karp. “In most cases, some soreness is expected, and applying ice or heat can bring relief.� For more information about the Fort Sanders Therapy Centers, call 865-531-1300.

The lowdown on stink bugs One evening last week, I took my 3-year-old to a park in Farragut for some sliding and swinging. Unfortunately, instead of having fun, the children at the park ran in fear from a swarm of stink bugs air-bombing the playground. Stink bugs are running rampant across the United States right now and have even stopped by the West Side Shopper-News office to say hello. Photo by S. Barrett

ages vacuuming stink bugs in your home because it will take some time for the odor to leave your vacuum cleaner. The stink bug has ancestral roots in Asia (which may be why it appears to be wearing a shield similar to a Samurai warrior’s armor). It was accidentally introduced to the U.S. in the ’90s. They cozy up in homes, offices and warehouses in the wintertime, so keep an eye out for a stinky, uninvited guest during the coming months. A group of researchers from 10 universities are collectively researching ways to manage the stink bug population including parasitic wasps, naturally occurring fungus and insecticides. Their efforts can be tracked at www.stopbmsb.org.
