Happy 100

anniversary Inskip! Deputy Mayor Eddie Mannis, who attended Inskip Elementary School, plants a tree in celebration of the school’s 100th anniversary. The event kicked off a day’s walk down memory lane for former and current students and faculty. The school was founded in 1912 as High School. The building had three classrooms and an upstairs auditorium, and students from grades 1-10 were taught subjects including Latin, algebra, geometry and science. Professor G.W. Morton served as principal and teacher for grades 8-10. Professor N.W. Murray, Ada Weisner and Lillian Hall Gresham were also original staff members. Today, Inskip Elementary serves 474 students with a staff of 70, including principal Dr. Elisa Luna. Photo by Ruth

Dog gone?

A frequent Shopper-News contributor says someone almost nabbed her dog right in front of her house. “It was a heavyset female with short, dirty brown hair driving a small, 4-door dark blue car in the Maynardville Highway and Emory Road area. “She parked across the street, came onto our property, picked up my small dog off our sidewalk while I was bagging trash in the garage and was hurrying down the driveway when I yelled at her to stop. “She turned, handed me my dog and mumbled something about thinking it was a ‘lost dog.’” The woman fled before our contributor could get identifying information.

‘This is Alice Bell’

Community, business reach benchmark agreement By Betty Bean A “benchmark agreement” allowing a cellphone company to meet increasing customer service demands while making concessions to neighborhood aesthetics appears to have made everybody happy. “Is every neighborhood going to want a cell tower now?” quipped Mayor Madeline Rogero just before she called for a vote to allow U.S. Cellular to build a slightly-shorter-than-originallyplanned cell tower adjacent to the Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood Association Park. The negotiated agreement won unanimous City Council approval. In September, the neighborhood association and wireless provider appeared to be at loggerheads over the plan to build a 150-foot cell tower, which they feared would be the first thing people see when they take the Washington Pike exit off the I-640 loop. The location is next to an access road leading to Knoxville Center.

“We kept hearing there wasn’t a whole lot we’d be able to do (to stop or alter the cell tower). We wanted them to move it to a different location,” said ABSHNA president Ronnie Collins. But after two months of wrangling, the two sides hammered out an agreement that lops 10

feet off the 150-foot monopole tower and converts it into a 140foot flagpole at 5020 Washington Pike and South Mall Road. A wooden fence originally planned to enclose the base of the tower will become a brick wall that will be enhanced by mature Leland Cyprus trees, matching the land-

scaping at a nearby doctor’s office. Since the 32-foot-long flag won’t be lowered at night, it will be lighted. Collins said ABSHNA’s lawyer worked overtime to get the agreement done in time for the Oct. 30 City Council meeting. “They wanted it done by Tuesday, and we thought we were going to have to ask for a postponement, but our lawyer (Wayne Kline) worked on it over the weekend.” Kline agreed to withdraw ABSHNA’s challenge of the Metropolitan Planning Commission’s September approval of U.S. Cellular’s use-on-review application and City Council member Nick Della Volpe, who represents the Alice Bell area, praised both Kline and U.S. Cellular attorney Jackson Kramer. “I want to congratulate the community and the company, as well as the two lawyers, who didn’t go out to kill each other. It was important to the community that their gateway not be damaged by an industrial look.” ABSHNA vice president Gene Mathis said he is happy with the agreement: “We are pleased that we were able to come to you with a compromise. Now we have a beautiful landmark as you come off the interstate – This is Alice Bell.”

with

dementia and I long to sit and talk with him as he was before the dementia took him away from us.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? Wow! It’s hard to narrow that down to just one. I’ve lived long enough now to be able to look back and see that there have always been those special people who influenced me in the way I needed it at the time.

Robbie Norman

Meet Robbie Norman, principal at Brickey-McCloud Elementary School since 2003. Even though it was hard to leave Mooreland Heights Elementary, where she had served as principal for five years, Norman says working at the school between Halls and Powell is rewarding. “The staff, students and parents are so fabulous and I consider it an honor to be a part of their team.” Norman spent her childhood in Middle Tennessee, moving about every three years and making great friends along the way. She graduated from Carter High School, University of Tennessee and Lincoln Memorial University. She taught first grade at Carter Elementary for 20 years, and then became curriculum instructional facilitator for three years, where she was able to observe five different principals in five very diverse schools. She is married to Jim Norman and has “two fabulous children, who are married,” Abigail and Charlie Lynch Jr. and Andrew and Elizabeth McGowan. “They have blessed me with five beautiful grandchildren with whom I am totally smitten,” she says. Settle back and enjoy Robbie Norman’s insights.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? Loretta Lynn from Coal Miner’s Daughter: “I just can’t believe it! I can’t believe that I am standing right here in the same room as Patsy Cline! I just can’t believe it!”

What are you guilty of? Eating too much frozen yogurt!

What is your favorite material possession? My grandmother’s Bible. My mom found it the day my grandmother had a stroke. It had a Baptist “quarterly” placed in it with notations beside each day that she read her “daily Bible readings.” It reminds me of the legacy she left behind to my Mom and all of her grandchildren. I am honored to have it.

What are you reading currently? Actually, I’m reading many books. My closest friends know this about me … I don’t read just one all of the way through without beginning another one. Eventually, I get them all read though!

In the library at Brickey-McCloud are Mackenzie Chittum, principal Robbie Norman and Mallory Moore.

I still can’t quite get the hang of… Using my new smartphone!

What is the best present you ever received in a box? What was your most embarrassing moment? I’ve had many, but the first that comes to mind was when I was 9 years old. My aunt had taken my cousins and me skating. I mopped the floor with my pants more than I skated. As luck would have it, my ticket was drawn for a $10 prize given away from the center of the rink with everyone watching. My cousins pushed me out on the floor so that I could navigate to the center of the rink to claim my prize. I coasted to the appropriate spot, but then I was stuck! I couldn’t get back to my place at the side of the rink! Everyone watched as I skated … and fell … got up … skated some more … and fell … you get the picture!

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Gee, I don’t have a bucket list, although there are many things I do think I’d like to do and places I’d like to go!

What is one word others often use to describe you? Passionate. I hope it is because they see my passion for loving children and doing whatever it takes to provide the best education for them!

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would not be so lazy about exercising regularly.

What is your passion? My life’s verse is, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the passions of your heart.” Some passions have come and gone, but the passion I have for making a positive difference in the lives of children through education, as well as the passion I have for my two children and their families, has never waned.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? My Dad. He passed last December as a result of

The Disciple’s Bible that I am still using after about 20 years!

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? “Don’t ever let the little things get you down. If you do, you will not be able to keep going when things really get rough!”

What is your social media of choice? Facebook

What is the worst job you have ever had? I was the janitor at one of the churches my dad pastored and I was only 14 years old! Oh, how I hated that job!

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? I don’t remember watching Saturday morning cartoons growing up, but after my children were born, I enjoyed watching some with them. My favorite was Babar.

What irritates you? The entitlement mentality I see in some folks today.

What’s one place in Halls or Powell everyone should visit? The greenways of Halls – a great place to walk and enjoy being outside!

What is your greatest fear? Heights! I have an unreasonable fear of heights!

Gabby needs help To reach blanket goal By Betty Bean

It hasn’t been easy, but 12-year-old Gabby Bogart is inching her way toward her goal of providing warm blankets for the residents at Beverly Park Place Health and Rehabilitation (formerly Hillcrest North) before winter sets in. She wants to collect 270 blankets and so far has 114. She could use some help. Gabby, who is a Gresham Middle School 7th grader, hatched the idea of organizing a blanket drive in

honor of her Nanny, Opel Williamson (actually her great-grandmother), who died in the nursing home on Sept. 6. Gabby noticed two things that made her sad when her mom, Jaclyn Bogart, used to take Gabby and her little sister Christina there to visit their Nanny, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s: It was cold in there, no matter what the season. And many patients didn’t have warm blankets or socks. “I was cold whenever I went there, even with my sweatshirt on,” Gabby said. So she came up with the

idea of getting blankets for every resident, something her Nanny would have approved. She was getting a little discouraged because her mid-November delivery deadline is approaching, but two recent events have perked her up: Kathy Edwards, owner of Bounce USA, 7312 Morton Lane in Powell, is going to hold a fundraiser 5-7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 15. Edwards volunteered to help and said her employees have offered to volunteer their time, as well. “The admission is one blanket for every two chil-

Central ‘Wall of Fame’ Honors dedicated teacher, Mary Sue Miller By Courtney Shea

In 1945, a 7-year-old girl made the journey with her twin sister to Knoxville from their home in Mississippi to live with an aunt and uncle for a year. For Mary Sue Beggs, that one year journey never ended and Knoxville became her home. The Central High School community is the richer for her dedication to teaching and community service, and the Central High School Foundation and CHS Alumni Association are delighted to select Mary Sue Beggs Miller, Class of 1956, for the Central “Wall of Fame.” Mary Sue was born in Tupelo, Miss., in 1938, 15 minutes before her sister, Martha. The Beggs family had two sets of twins and three other children. It was a heavy burden for her mother, Effie, after the death of Mary Sue’s father, Clifton, in 1943. Mildred and Elmer Castleberry suggested that their nieces Mary Sue and Martha come to Knoxville, live with them and attend Halls Elementary.

Mary Sue Miller The twins stayed on in Knoxville, starting at Halls High School in 1952 and transferring to Central for their junior and senior years. In 1956, Mary Sue graduated from Central in the top 10 percent of a class of 350. She started working at the White Store and continued cashiering

for the grocery store chain throughout her college years. “I would not take anything for this work experience. It taught me how to use and plan my time wisely, how to meet and work with people, and the importance of saving money for my college.” Wise use of time and a deep love of working with people are themes throughout her productive career. She pursued a higher education, first with a twoyear secretarial program at UT, then at CarsonNewman College, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in education in May 1961. After graduation, she took a position as the educational secretary at First Baptist Church, Knoxville. Her work with their youth program convinced

dren,” said Jaclyn. “We are just thrilled that Kathy has offered to do this. There have been times when Gabby has wondered if this was going to happen, especially when we were counting the blankets the other day.” The other encouraging event was a $200 check from an anonymous donor, which will allow the Bogarts to make a blanketbuying trip to Big Lots. They’ve got their fingers crossed that Gabby can meet her goal. “She’s had a tough year,” Jaclyn said. “Besides Nanny dying, Gabby’s had a dislocated knee, a torn MCL, a sprained MCL and a torn meniscus and got diagnosed as a cystic fibrosis carrier. It’s time something

her that she truly wanted to be involved with young people and teaching full time. First Baptist Church is also where she met Ed Miller, and the young couple would marry in 1965. In the fall of 1963, principal Dan Y. Boring asked her to join Central’s faculty and she began teaching the general business and typing courses. She had found her calling and would remain at Central High School until her retirement in 2000. In 1967, she was selected as Central’s “Teacher of the Year.” It was a welcome affirmation for the young teacher to be

recognized by her school. Mary Sue Miller loved all aspects of Central, and the more she became involved, the more she enjoyed her job. From 1979 through 1998, she sponsored the yearbook. Until recently, students volunteered, without credits, for the long hours of painstaking work to assemble the pictorial history of a year at school. The dedication of these students stood out when the school had a lengthy school closure for snow in the late 1970s. For three snowy days, these yearbook students walked or got rides to

Mary Sue’s house to ensure that deadlines for production would be met. Friday night home football games were great fun, and she enjoyed selling tickets in the “sewer” ticket booth. Some of the special people at Central were principal Dan Y. Boring, “a man of few words, but he was a jewel,” and student Joanne Owens, who also returned to Central as a teacher, colleague and friend. Mary Sue had a full range of community activities outside of school. She

government A fence for KPD? A resolution to construct a $290,000 chain-link fence around a portion of Knoxville’s Safety Building (home of the Police Department) was deferred on motion of council member and former mayor Daniel Brown on Oct. 16. Brown received numerous calls from leaders of the African American community such as the Rev. Harold Middlebrook, civic leader Margaret Gaiter and others. Brown and council member Duane Grieve feel that a chain-link fence presents a bad image on the major gateway to East Knoxville. It is also a questionable expenditure of $290,000 when the citywide tree planting budget is less than $100,000 for the same calendar year. An initial reading of the resolution on the council agenda was not clear as to where the fence would be or if there was more than one phase to it. Brown hopes the 4-week deferral leads to its demise. More and brighter lighting around the parking area might solve the vandalism problem to the degree there is one. Chain-link fences by defi nition are an eyesore to any community. The mayor would be smart to let the idea disappear. KPD Chief Dave Rausch is an able and effective leader appointed by former Mayor Brown. ■ Sen. Lamar Alexander is quietly but methodically putting together his 2014 re-election campaign by hosting luncheons around the state for past supporters as a thank you for help. This will be Alexander’s third Senate term. His political career began as a campaign aide to Howard Baker in his 1966 U.S. Senate campaign and as legislative aide to Sen. Baker in 1967-68. He hosted a Knoxville luncheon at Ruth’s Chris Steak House on Oct. 23 where longtime supporters like John King, Susan Richardson Williams and Bill Sansom attended. All served in his cabinet when he was governor. Younger persons attending included state Rep. Ryan Haynes and law student Alexander Waters who were not yet born when Alexander was first elected governor in 1978. ■ Dawn Coppock wants to be the next federal judge to replace Thomas Phillips who retires next summer, 2013. Her nomination would depend on President Obama’s re-election. She is in solo practice and is an activist in fighting ridge top mountain removals for coal. She is

also a recognized expert on adoption law. Nasvhille Rep. Jim Cooper is the senior Tennessee Democrat in Congress and will make recommendations to President Obama. If Mitt Romney is the next president, then Sens. Alexander and Corker will make the recommendation and it probably would not be Coppock. ■ Hallsdale Powell Utility District stunned County Mayor Tim Burchett when they sent him a list of three nominees for the open seat on the board. The names were listed in order of their preference. Topping the list was recently defeated GOP legislative and county mayoral candidate, former sheriff Tim Hutchison. Burchett defeated Hutchison with 80 percent of the vote in 2010. Roger Kane handily defeated Hutchison this August for state representative in District 89. Why would a utility district recommend such a politically controversial name as Hutchison for a nonpolitical position? It is hard to understand or explain in a rational way. Public relations-wise this was a foolish decision. It is almost as if HPUD is tonedeaf. Surely there are other qualified persons in the utility district. State law should be changed to conform the selection process with the current city charter provision which impacts KUB. It requires that KUB submit five or more names annually to the mayor for appointment to the KUB board. This year KUB sent the mayor six names. Burchett should be commended for trying to break up the good ol’ boy network at HPUD.

Just one more day … maybe By tomorrow night, if all goes smoothly, former Knox County GOP chair Ray Hal Jenkins and U. S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan – along with all the rest of us – will know if their predictions in the presidential race were right or wrong.

Anne Hart

“I’ve been saying for two months that I think Romney will win with 300 electoral votes,” Jenkins said, “and I think I might have been a bit low.” Duncan, speaking to the Concord Farragut Republican Club last Thursday, wasn’t as specific about the numbers, but said he, too, believes Romney will win, adding (to laughter from his audience), “and I just can’t wait to see Chris Matthews (liberal MSNBC commentator) have to announce it.” Duncan excoriated “limousine liberals” for their claims that Republicans don’t care about the middle class. “Over the years I have spoken in about 100 congressional districts all across this country, and I can tell you that most of the people I met at those events

At last week’s meeting of the Concord Farragut Republican Club are former Knox County GOP chair Ray Hal Jenkins, U. S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan, Knox County Assistant District Attorney Charme Knight and club president Wayne Sellars. Photo by A. Hart are middle-class, and those that have money worked for it.” Duncan talked about his grandparents, who lived in Scott County. “They were poor. They had 10 children and an outhouse, and my grandfather used to say that people could make it to heaven if they weren’t Presbyterian or Republican, but if they were, it would sure give them a leg up.” Duncan said he could “sum up the Republican philosophy in one word: freedom. Republicans believe in free enterprise, private property rights and religious freedom. We know the best way to grow the economy is to leave money in the

private sector where it can grow. The least economical way to grow the economy is to turn our money over to the Feds.” He cited a study “that shows it costs $229,000 per person for the government to create a job and $50,000 for the private sector to do it.” In answer to a question about the recent attack on the U. S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya, that left the U. S. ambassador and three other Americans dead, Duncan said that during his time in Washington, Congress has consistently given large increases in funding for security for our embassies around the world.

“We have thrown money into embassy security. What I can’t understand is why we aren’t spending more of that money in countries where there is a greater threat than in others. I think we should have pulled security out of places like Canada and Bermuda where there is little or no threat, and put it where it is needed.” Duncan predicted a close look at what happened in Benghazi in the months ahead. “We would be hearing a whole lot more about this if Congress were in session.” ■ Republicans will gather downtown at the Crowne Plaza Tuesday night, starting at about 7:30 p.m.

Teachers break it down at Farragut Teacher Talk No one was angry at the Farragut Middle/Farragut Intermediate schools Teacher Talk with Dr. Jim McIntyre, superintendent of Knox County Schools, on Thursday. No one was really happy either. And no one was in a hurry to leave. McIntyre had a special guest drop in for the first part of Teacher Talk, which are teacher meetings the superintendent does periodically at individual schools. Tennessee Department of Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman came by to give a few opening remarks, then take questions from the approximately 30 teachers and administrators gathered in the Farragut Middle School gym. The meeting was scheduled for 4 to 5 p.m., and wrapped up a little after 6 p.m., an hour after the commissioner left. The teachers pulled few punches, and neither McIntyre nor Huffman dodged any. It was clear what is keeping teachers up at night: Teacher evaluations, the ongoing shifts in how children are to be taught, seemingly endless student testing, the lack of even adequate technology in West Knoxville schools and time to do all that is now expect-

ed of classroom teachers. Huffman wanted to talk about the State Report Card that was released on Nov. 1. He praised the improvements and the teachers’ roles in moving the state forward but reminded everyone of how far there is to go. “If you look at data from past years, we are getting a little better, but other states are getting better faster. That is why we see rankings like 46th in math even though we are improving. And the numbers are true no matter how you slice the data. We have to ground ourselves in the reality that this is where we are starting.” None of the teachers questioned that reality, even in what one teacher pointed out are “the highest performing schools in the district.” The questions and heartburns come in the processes being implemented to correct the problems. In the two hours, there were approximately a dozen

questions asked. A consolidated look at some of the questions from the teachers include: ■ At FMS, where 8th grade math scores were among the highest in the state, those same students were not able to solve a handful of mathematical problem when denied their calculators. Are we really teaching children critical thinking? ■ In moving to Common Core standards and assessments and teaching critical thinking, there are more writing exercises and openended questions in the tests. As good as that is, where do teachers find the time to grade these types of tests when a middle school teacher has 150 students? ■ Are we testing kids to death? “I am giving up 11 to 13 teachable days just to do assessment tests,” said one teacher. ■ Whatever the “rules” are, the evaluation process is still open to subjective assessments. There is a need for consistency in Lead Teachers, who should be high quality and highlyrespected. ■ At Farragut Middle School, access to technology is a critical problem. The school uses every bit of extra money to improve

technology, but it isn’t even coming close. In order to do a recent trial test that teachers wanted the students to take on iPads, teachers and administrators had to borrow iPads from the students and their own family members to get enough to do one class. After the comment on technology, school board member Pam Trainor, who represents District 9 and was in the audience, had one of the best comments of the evening, which, unfortunately came as no surprise to the West Knoxville teachers and administrators: “I just have to tell you that there is no way I could sell that story as truth in South Knoxville,” Trainor said. “No one would believe that there is a lack of technology in a Farragut school. This is a story that needs to be told.”

Visitor from the night NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier

hings that go bump in the night! There are really a lot of things going on out there in the dark. And they are often scary, because they are so unknown. Hordes of critters come out after dark, and hunt, catch, and eat things that are out there trying to hunt, catch and eat a bunch of other things. Most of us donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how much activity bursts forth when the sun goes down. Think about moths, for example. There are way more night-f lying moths than there are day-f lying butterf lies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 11,000 species of moths in North America to about 600 species of butterf lies. And most of us donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that more than a few of the more spectacular ones are out there. Then there are the frogs, toads, salamanders and snakes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one reason why all those camping tents have f loors sewn in them. Many of our mammals do their best work at night, such as the everpopular duo of skunks and possums, plus raccoons, coyotes and foxes. And you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how many little rodents such as rats, mice and shrews are out there scurrying around every night, until you walk out on a morning with fresh snowfall and see all those hundreds of tiny footprints going

in every direction in field and woods. All these creatures have learned to cope with the dark and use it to their advantage, both for cover for their hunting activities, and for their protection from whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunting for them. But the group of critters that, to me, seem to have mastered the dark and made it theirs, are the owls. The owls f ly completely silently, yet have a voice that can carry for miles. They are seldom seen, but when they are, they have a unique and intense appearance. Owls have been objects of superstition and awe down through the ages, and they are considered omens of good or bad fortune and symbols of wisdom by all sorts of people. Here in the environs of the Beaver Creek watershed, we have four species of owls, out of the 12 species that occur in the eastern parts of North America. Our largest is the fearsome Great Horned Owl, powerful enough to subdue a skunk or a rabbit. The smallest is the little Screech Owl, very difficult to see, with its feathers a perfect tree-bark pattern of camouf lage. The

least common is the pale, ghostly Barn Owl, who in spite of its habit of nesting in old barns, seems the least comfortable around humans. And that leaves my favorite, the big, round, f luffy Barred Owl. It is the one by far the most likely to be seen during daylight hours. Instead of the fierce intense gaze of the big yellow eyes of the other three, the dark brown eyes of the Barred Owl seem to look at you with a gentle and benign curiosity. We used to have a Barred Owl that came and sat on a branch over the driveway and stared at the cat, and the cat would sit and stare back at the owl, but we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen one here in years. I had been hearing an occasional â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who cooks for you? Who cooks for youallâ&#x20AC;? hoot-owl call from the creek bottom this summer and fall, but two weeks ago I got a rare treat. The current creek-bottom Resident Owl paid a daytime visit to my yard! About 5 p.m. one clear afternoon I had just put up the mower and was enjoying the quiet, when I heard a peculiar bird-type noise that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t famil-

iar with. I thought it might be a blue jay; they are good imitators and seem to enjoy making off-thewall noises. As I closed in on the area of the noise, a big stocky silent bird f lew right in front of me and glided smoothly up into a cedar tree. It perched, looked up, looked down, and then, satisfied that everything else was OK, settled down to stare at me. After enjoying the great look at the seldom-seen bird, I eased into the house and got Grandma and the camera. The owl perched patiently, and stared at us both with those big, dark eyes. It let me photograph

it (from a respectable distance) and even shut its eyes for a mini-nap as we stood there and discussed what a cool bird it was. Owls have a special feather design that enables them to fly in total silence. Their big eyes are designed to gather lots more information in dim light than human eyeballs, greatly improving their night vision. But unbelievably sharp hearing is really their thing. They can accurately pinpoint the sound of a mouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footfalls in total darkness at a distance of 25 yards! Goodbye, mouse. It turns out that the primary staple of the Barred

Owlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet is rodents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rats and mice. And at this time of the year, with all the field mice having meetings to discuss which parts of my house they plan to spend the winter in, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad they are the owlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite meal. Our owl was still sitting there quietly when we had our fill and finally headed back into the house, but it was already gone by early the next morning, undoubtedly having spent the night terrorizing the local neighborhood mice and, hopefully, dining on several of them. Welcome to our yard, owl.

heal most of the hurt. Going new places and bumping into strange things is called on-the-job training. The Volunteers may or may not add bruises. It won’t be easy-does-it. Both teams probably had this game penciled in as a victory. It appears Tennessee won’t have a great home advantage. In numbers, yes, but not necessarily in will-to-win. Both sides have only been talking about bowl eligibility. I suppose you realize you guys have been a disappointment, much like Tennessee. I hear the Tigers have not matched up well at the line of scrimmage and that is where a lot of things happen in the SEC. So, offense was projected as a strength but quarterback James Franklin

and too many linemen have been injured. Even Vanderbilt took advantage. Injuries? Yes, we can relate. Offensive coordinator David Yost sent word that his group has been plagued by unforced errors. He calls them self-stops. He says you have made opposing defenses look much better than they are. Tennessee can only hope it happens again. The Vols, too, have endured self-inflicted pain. Fortunately, each Saturday is a new opportunity to get things right. This might be a chance to slip up on somebody. Maybe Missouri, winner over Kentucky, but still very new, has not yet grasped the significance of an SEC victory.

As so much of our country lies devastated by the perfect storm – a combination hurricane and blizzard – and stands at the crossroads called an election, there are many of us feeling the clinching of a fist right in the center of the chest. Elections are always moments of high emotion: excitement, anticipation, joy, elation. There are also moments of other emotions: anxiety, disappointment, dread, fear. A die will be cast, and a decision will be made. The course will be set, at least for four years. Now, added to all those emotions are the shock and devastation of Mother Nature. Beaches eroded,

houses struck by lightning, homes f looded, cities shut down, neighbors drowned, October snow measured in feet. There are also the personal tsunamis, the misspoken – or misunderstood – word that can change a relationship for years, or forever. The unspoken word that could heal a hurt, but goes left unsaid, causing the hurt to deepen, darken, petrify. Is there a passage through all of these? There has to be, lest we just sit down in utter defeat and give up, opting to spend the rest of our lives wandering in the wilderness. And what does such passage require of us? Faith that there is

meaning in the journey. Trust that there is a mighty hand that leads. Determination that we will get through. Hope that we will grow and mature along the path. A dream that at the end of the road, there will be blessing. Perhaps most of all, the passage requires that we make the journey with others, that we have companions along the way, that we are aware of the love that surrounds us, that we share that love with all of God’s children, and that we help those who stumble. If we are faithful in those steps of the journey, we will find the passage through.

Missouri may not be too frightened TALES OF TENNESSEE Behold, a stranger knocks at the door. Well, well, so you are Missouri, a newcomer to the big, bad Southeastern Conference. Come in, come in, have a sip of orange Gatorade, make yourself at home. Why, yes, we do wear shoes. Don’t worry about manners or politeness. Go ahead, be yourself, excited, optimistic, borderline bubbling over with enthusiasm.

Right place, right time By Cindy Taylor City on a Hill Church is thriving and expanding. A tour through the facility today makes it hard to believe that it almost ceased to exist. Lead pastor Tony Colson and co-pastor and wife LaShea are dedicated to seeing the church continue and grow. So much so that they make the drive from Sevierville for every service. But that wasn’t always the case. “The congregation had decreased in number so much that we stopped taking a salary,” said Tony. “In 2010 we were at a very desperate time in our ministry and I was sending out my résumé.” Following an ordination service they attended, the couple were told by an anonymous person that they were at the right place at the right time. Within

that same week they were touring apartments and saw the same wording. Then during a prayer the phrase “City on a hill, right place, right time” was used once again. “That was the third word to us within a week,” said Tony. “I tore up my résumé in front of the congregation and recommitted to the body. God would not let us transition out and we have been able to reach a lot of people.” The phrase, “You are at the right place at the right time,” is now a banner hanging at the entrance to the church, and the congregation has more than doubled in the past year. The church caters to a diverse congregation and the décor reflects that diversity. “We try to be creative with what God puts in our hands,” said LaShea, who has collected furniture

and art to make the church welcoming and exciting to visit. The entrance to the kids’ area boasts a castle guarded by a life-size lion and the sanctuary has a warm, theater feel. The church provides large, separate areas for parties. The church hosted gatherings during October to pray for the upcoming election and plans to start an outreach for parents’ night out. The Colsons have a vision for the church that

they hope to put into play in the coming year. The couple have four children; daughters, Kiera, 9, Makena, 6, Aliyah, 4, and son Tegan, 3. City on a Hill Church is located at 3001 Knoxville Center Drive, Suite 2961B in the upper level of Knoxville Center next to The Rush. Sunday service times are 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. with a Wednesday night bible study for all ages. Alternate Friday evenings are reserved for special events such as poetry readings, comedy presentations and musical expressions. Info: 659-7729.

■ Knoxville Fellowship Luncheon meets at noon each Tuesday at Golden Corral in Powell.

Oceanic art By Cindy Taylor

Jeannie Koenig is an artist with an amazing technique. But she doesn’t take the credit. She says her art has a Godgiven flair. “All I do is put three colors of paint on paper, spray it with the salt water and then fold the paper over,” said Koenig. “I move my hands across the back of the paper and God does the rest.” Koenig says she never knows what will appear until she opens the paper. And what appears is truly remarkable. Koenig has paintings that look like canyons, waterfalls and fish to name just a few. Her use of color brings to mind the psychedelic 1960s and fuels the imagination. Koenig and husband Tom have a lake house in Sharps Chapel but divide their time between that location and Sarasota.

“Every time we go to the beach we bring home a gallon of the ocean,” said Koenig. “I don’t strain it or change it. When I spray the paper, the most wonderful things emerge.” Koenig keeps the ocean water refrigerated so it doesn’t sour, fills up a spray bottle and she’s ready to begin a new masterpiece. She says the salt water with its shell and coral fragments cause a reaction on the paper. She quickly covers it with another sheet to quiet it down, and then gently rubs the back of that sheet. The process takes about 30 minutes and produces extraordinary results. Perhaps the most extraordinary result of all is that Koenig keeps none of the money she makes from the sale of her work.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

It’s a miracle!

So how does a brand-new head basketball coach who has yet to log a win of her own snag the most coveted recruit in the country? That’s doubtless the question plaguing Holly Warlick’s competition this week. Why, they must wonder, did Mercedes Russell decide to come all the way across the country to play college basketball under an untested coach? Is it the force of Warlick’s personality? Is it the highpowered coaching staff Warlick has assembled? Is it because she’s Pat Summitt’s hand-picked successor? Or does Russell just like creamsicle orange? One of Warlick’s Bearden High School teammates says nobody should be surprised. …

Holly Warlick’s UT team surrounds her, all wearing Bearden 22 shirts: Bashaara Graves, Meighan Simmons, Nia Moore, Isabella Harrison, Jasmine Jones, Jasmine Phillips, Kamiko Williams, Ariel Massengale, Warlick, Cierra Burdick, Taber Spani and Andraya Carter.

couldn’t shoot and three forwards who didn’t play defense. Nobody crossed the mid-court line. This system limited post-high school playing opportunities for girls and made recruiting harder for Coach Head, who would soon become the star witness in a civil rights lawsuit that forced the state to allow girls to play full court ball. High’s father, the late Charlie Burchett, a dean of student conduct at UT, supported Head in advocating the change. “Pat didn’t like to recruit from this area because we didn’t play full court, so we were at a disadvantage coming out of high school,” High said. If she had it to do over, she says she’d probably have joined Warlick at UT. “I’d walk on and be that 15th player, but honestly, I didn’t have that kind of talent.” High has a lot of demands on her time: her two younger sons, Charlie, 18; and David, 13, are on the basketball team at Christian Academy of Knoxville. Charlie, her middle son (named, of course, for his grandfather) is finishing up his senior season as quarterback on the football team, where he is considered one of the top prospects in the state. Son Billy, 23, is working on a master’s degree in math and doing an internship at Central High School. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett is her brother. High says Warlick is very deserving of having had her Bearden High School jersey retired, and that she would have carved the time out of her schedule to attend the ceremony if she’d known it was going to happen. “When we run into each other at Long’s, we take up our last conversation exactly where we left off,” High said. “When I think of her, I remember that dry wit. Holly could be hilarious, but when it came down to competition, she was all business. Other times, she was a lot of fun. I was always saying ‘Did you really say that?’”

Dollars generated through Artsclamation! will allow Peninsula to continue to increase awareness of mental health issues and promote accessibility in our community by funding early identification programs and enhancing mental health resources available through the behavioral health services of Peninsula. Earlier this year the state of Tennessee announced the closing of Lakeshore Mental Health Institute as Tennessee moves toward more community-based mental health services. Covenant Health CEO Tony Spezia said Peninsula would do everything it could to help the vulnerable population Lakeshore served. Peninsula pledged to take as many Lakeshore patients as it feasibly could, adding staff (including some former Lakeshore employees) and expanding facilities to handle the expected influx. “Our mission states that Covenant Health is dedicated to improving quality of life through better health,” said Spezia. “That includes meeting the needs of people who struggle with mental health issues. Behavioral health services are expensive to provide and woefully underfunded by government medical programs. As local programs have closed or decreased services, Peninsula and Covenant Health remain committed to providing behavioral health care that is critical to the health of our communities.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

A Taste of Tuscany

Italian photos on exhibit at Fort Sanders Regional The hallways of the cardiology unit at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center now have an Italian flair. A 16-piece photography collection of Tuscan landscapes has been donated to the hospital and is on permanent display on the facility’s second floor. The “Amerigo America: Vespucci & the United States: A Collection of Tuscan Art” collection of photography was donated to the hospital in memory of longtime Knoxville resident Christine Thomas Jones and her daughter Nancy Jones Dennis. Christine was a cardiac patient at Fort Sanders Regional during the last part of her life. “We spent a lot of time here on the heart floor when Mother was sick,” explains Christine’s daughter, Cheryl Dickert of Atlanta. “She always received excellent care at Fort Sanders and we hope the staff and patients will be inspired by this beautiful artwork.” The collection is an extension of her love for the arts and her joy of painting oils and watercolor landscapes. “Christine Thomas Jones loved the arts and was an artist,” says Dickert. “We thought the photos were very appropriate.” Christine’s granddaughter and namesake, Christine Dick-

ert, lives in Florence, Italy, and works with The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals, a nonprofit group that places artwork in hospitals. Three of the 16 Tuscan landscape photographs were created by Christine. She is also part of the “Young Anglo Women’s Network” organization that is dedicated to the advancement of women in the arts. “Florence, Italy, is so scenic that it’s all about capturing the sunshine and the sky,” says granddaughter Christine Dickert. “We are excited to share a little of that beauty with those here at Fort Sanders.” The same 16 Tuscany landscape photos that can be seen at Fort Sanders Regional in Knoxville are also on display at a hospital in Florence, Italy. “We truly appreciate this beautiful gift. Our staff and patients are already enjoying the artwork,” says Jennifer Debow, Fort Sanders Director of Cardiac Services. “It’s soothing and comforting for people to have something so nice to look at while they’re here.”

Hospital visitors Kris Sims (left) and Antonio Lacoucci admire three of the Tuscany landscape photos now exhibited at Fort Sanders Regional. Cheryl Dickert (left) and daughter Christine Dickert unveil one of the 16 Italian photos recently donated to Fort Sanders Regional’s cardiac floor.

Year end giving – There’s no better time!

The Fellowship Center, located on Laurel Avenue next to Fort Sanders Regional, is supported by donations and the generosity of guests and volunteers. The center offers free lodging to patients and family members who travel long distances to Knoxville for outpatient medical treatment. Eighteen fully-furnished apartments provide a home-like atmosphere. Gifts of money, supplies, time and talent make this caring service possible. For information about contributing your time or support to the Fellowship Center, call 865541-1725 or go to www.fellowshipcenterknox.org.

End-of-year charitable contributions can provide you with a tax break and give you the satisfaction of helping people. Many special programs and services of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, such as pastoral care, the Fellowship Center lodging facility and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center’s Innovative Recreation Cooperative are funded by donations. Gifts can be made in honor of a favorite nurse, therapist, physician or other caregiver. Timing is the key. If you itemize and make a donation before Dec. 31, you can secure a deduction for this year’s taxes. Smart year-end giving

strategies include prepaying a pledge, donating appreciated securities, making honorarium gifts for friends and loved ones or investing in a life income plan. Your tax benefits depend on what you give and when you give. We can assist you and your financial advisors in making a charitable gift to support the nonprofit mission of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and its programs.

For more information, contact Jeff Elliott with the Fort Sanders Foundation at 865-531-5210 or Jelliott@covhlth.com.
