Upgrade for water plant By Sandra Clark West Knox Utility District has awarded a $17.4 million contract to low bidder Judy Construction Co. Inc. for an expansion of the Daugherty water treatment plant. Work could begin in 60 days. Five bids were close, each well below the projected $21 million cost. The project will expand the water plant from 2 million to 8 million gallons per day and will add membrane filtering technology. It is a 2-year contract. Judy Construction is based in Cynthiana, Ky., hometown of founder and president Larry Judy. The company has constructed more than 150 water and wastewater treatment facilities in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, In-

I believe it is so important for our students to continue to experience the concepts of altruism and generosity. I want them to experience what it is like to be

a part of something that truly makes a difference in the lives of others. “Next year we will attempt to double the amount of money we raised this year.

Daugherty plant will be shut down for about one month during a nonpeak season. WKUD operates two water plants, both drawing from Melton Hill Lake. Daugherty is the smaller plant, located in Anderson County near Henderson Road and Toby Hollow. Bond counsel Joe Ayres brought good news to WKUD’s monthly meeting. Interest rates will drop from 3 to 2.5 percent on the latest bond issue, approximately $35 million. Commissioners voted to pay Knox County approximately $40,000 for repaving of Smithland Lane and Frostland Drive, damaged when WKUD made multiple road cuts for sewer line improvements. “The county can buy asphalt cheaper than we can,” said attorney John Owings, citing $73 per ton versus a market price of $300 per ton.

Wayne Hastings, chief engineer, reported two water line replacements are on schedule, and the Oak Ridge Estates pump station will be completely rebuilt about a month ahead of schedule. A water line replacement on Park Village Road will start within a week. “You guys are doing great,” said Hurst, noting that WKUD has several projects underway and, with 63 employees, is inspecting all of them in-house. Owings said the Gulf Park sinkhole inspection has been finished and sent to the attorney for homeowners. “That sinkhole has been there all along and the utility district had nothing to do with it,” according to the engineers’ report, he said. The next meeting is 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, at the district office on Lovell Road.

“What’s going on with the development on Childress Road?” County Commissioner Tony Norman wanted to know about the June 28 detention pond collapse at a development atop Copper Ridge that sent a wall of contaminated water rolling down onto the property below. It destroyed the home of Gary and Marsha Carter, damaged Patty and David Dowling’s house and eroded their front yard, drowned wildlife and contaminated a pristine lake on Chuck and Mandy Parrott’s property at the foot of the ridge. Norman wanted to know why it happened and how such catas-

trophes can be prevented in the future, so he asked Public Works and Engineering chief Dwight Van de Vate for answers at last week’s commission workshop. Van de Vate absolved the county of responsibility for the past and offered limited reassurance about the future. “We will always do our best to ensure that all applicable grading, construction and stormwater management regulatory policies are strictly observed,” Van de Vate said. He added that while new pollutant discharge elimination standards will reduce the likelihood of pond failures, there is “no plausible way” for the county to guarantee Gary Carter.

failures won’t occur. Norman didn’t disguise his dissatisfaction with Van de Vate’s response, even after Commissioner R. Larry Smith announced that developer Rufus Smith Properties has agreed to build the Carters a new home. Gary Carter, who has been living in a motel room with his wife for three months, says that Smith’s announcement is news to him, and he agrees with Norman that the county should do more to protect homeowners. “Ma’am, I have not heard that statement from anybody except R.

Kayla Miller

Kayla Miller finds peace in art Kayla Miller is a senior who loves art. She has spent much of her life creating works of art and plans to spend her future pursuing her passion. Kayla developed her love for visual arts when she was younger. “In elementary school I would take a piece of paper and Crayola water colors and just go at it,� she says. Kayla has known for several years that visual arts were the right direction for her. She spends about three hours per day painting, drawing, photographing, or working on various other art projects. She had take four art classes since arriving at Hardin Valley Academy: general art, advanced painting, advanced photography and advanced drawing. She also takes private art lessons 2-3 times a month. Kayla has put work in various art shows. In the spring of 2010, she had two pieces accepted into the Knoxville Museum of Art collection in the East Tennessee Regional Art Exhibit. The following fall, a collage she created received honorable mention in the Hardin Valley PTSA’s art

competition. Kayla plans on majoring in art and receiving her minor in education when she attends college. Later on, she intends to become an elementary school art teacher. “I knew that I wanted to pursue art teaching when I took [a class at Hardin Valley Academy] ACTS (Action Counts in Teen Service) last fall. I helped out with 4th and 5th grade art classes at Hardin Valley Elementary. I was approached by a 5th grade girl one day in class who told me I should become an art teacher,� Kayla says. Her favorite visual medium is painting. She prefers to work with watercolors and acrylics. “Art relieves my stress,� she says. “It helps me express what I’m feeling inside.� Kayla adds, “I love creating something out of nothing.�

Sandra Rowcliffe reports several Hawks flew home for Friday’s Homecoming at Hardin Valley Academy. We hope to have pictures next week. The Homecoming queen (with 25 contestants, give or take) and king (nine contestants) were chosen based on a formula unique in Knox County. Equal weight was given to a student body vote, a timed essay, an interview with community reps from outside the school, and a poster highlighting each student’s individual accomplishments. HVA has had only two graduating classes and this year’s Class of 2012 is the one in which students began as freshmen. HVA has accomplished a lot in a short time. (And I’m not just saying that to make friends.) Well, maybe!

KARNS/HARDIN VALLEY SHOPPER-NEWS • SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 • A-3

Creative laundry day cleans up cash prize One Karns resident has turned an everyday chore into big bucks. Emily Walls entered a Hallmark contest, and her entry won her $5,000. In addition, a commercial is airing on the Hallmark Facebook page. Walls completed the fill-in-the-blank contest that explained an everyday special occasion. Her paragraph on doing laundry beat out 11,000 entries in the Facebook contest. “I submitted the answer and then friends and others voted for it. In all, I received about 600 votes,� she says. As a child, she created cards and sent them to family and friends. She dreamed of working for a company like Hallmark. Walls includes her children Isaiah, 2, and Abby, 4, in the chore, using her creativity to spark their interest. Her son loves to put his hand under the running water from the machine and the bubbles that are formed

with detergent. Abby pretends that she is shopping for clothes. She selects items and places them on hangers as if they were purchases. Then she takes them to her closet, which is a pretend trunk of her car. Walls says each week brings about 15 loads of laundry. She admits that her husband, Tony, washes the majority. She began doing laundry in her late teens but wants to teach her children how to complete the chore at an earlier age. She uses the time as a way to complete the work and enjoy time with the kids. The best part is watching her children’s faces brighten as their imaginations awaken. Still, she says

nothing is that great about laundry and that the worst part is the never-ending piles that accumulate. The prize money is coming in handy for the family. Tony, who is a pastor at Providence Church, is taking on new responsibilities at a seed church in Jefferson City. The Walls family will move as soon as their house off Bob Gray Road sells. Em-

ily says the cash is a blessing from God, who provided the money they need to help with the upcoming move. Walls is a 1999 Karns High School and a 2003 East Tennessee State University graduate, where she majored in English and advertising. She worked for an advertising agency in Louisville, Ky., until 2003, when her family moved back to Knoxville. She

Emily Walls won $5,000 in a Facebook competition. Her topic? Laundry. now is a contract copywriter who works with local and national clients. Her job allows her to work from home and to spend precious time with her children. She and her husband met in middle school and began dating in high school. Emily Walls is glad she responded to an email from Hallmark. It led her to winning a contest that has

brought much needed cash, a commercial and publicity into her life. She gives all the credit for her success to God and suggests that other people take similar challenges offered by companies in future contests. She’ll get on with life as Abby, Isaiah and Tony all pitch in to conquer a mountain of laundry. It’s a family affair.

out here one day. Since that I haven’t heard anything about it,â€? he said. “This has been about the most miserable time of my life. Having to come home twice a day to take care of my animals and then leave it behind and go to the motel and spend the night – it’s just destroyed the way I think, the way I do and the way I act,â€? he said. Carter also takes issue with Van de Vate’s contention that drainage problems at the Rufus Smith site are under control. “It rained on Labor Day, and I was out on the back porch, reading. Water started coming down and I had to get off the porch or my feet were going to get wet. By noon, I couldn’t walk on the porch without walking in running water. ‌ We’ve been dealing with this since June and we’ve got no future in sight.â€?

Isaiah, Abby and Emily Walls tackle laundry together. Photos by J. Rector

Patty Dowling, whose husband, David, built a detention pond in hopes of protecting their home from the Smith Properties runoff, says her family is still dealing with runoff every time it rains. Her husband and some friends dug a drainage ditch through the yard to keep the water away from the house and they have decontaminated the bedroom where their daughters, one of whom is disabled, sleep, but there is mold in other rooms of their living space and the bank behind the house is breaking down. “We haven’t suffered nearly as bad as the Carters, but our problem has been going on for a year. As that pond filled up, more water came over and it got worse and worse. We just can’t keep waiting and waiting and waiting and letting it get worse and us living in it.�

Mayor ‘sees the light’ on Carter Elementary School “I think the light’s at the end of the tunnel on the Carter project,” Mayor Tim Burchett said at last week’s County Commission work session. Today’s commission vote will reveal whether that light is a rising sun or an oncoming train. In the words of Commissioner Tony Norman, the process for building a new school “got so convoluted and curious” that predicting commission’s decision has become a slippery business. Tim Burchett Questions about the Devon Group’s abrupt withdrawal linger, and parents with children in other decaying schools are beginning to ask how Carter jumped to the head of the line. If the project stalls, it’s better for Burchett if commission gives the thumbs down. A school board rejection could cast the mayor and the school board as adversaries for the next three years, an outcome that benefits neither. Alternatively, if the commission signs off and the school board says no, Burchett remains a hero in East Knox County. However, his pledge to use the money raised to reduce debt if the Carter project fails could cost him support from parents in other parts of the county. But first things first: how will the commission vote? ■ 1st District: Sam McKenzie’s skepticism is welldocumented. McKenzie is solidly for renovation and against building a new school. He votes no. ■ 2nd District: Some blamed Amy Broyles for Devon’s pullout. That’s farfetched, but Broyles is an emphatic no. ■ 3rd District: At the work session, Norman said, “It was always so curious why (Partners Development) wasn’t selected to begin with,” given their experience with school construction. Norman wants to consider the proposal objectively, but is leaning toward no. ■ 4th District: Jeff Ownby supported a new school for Carter while campaigning for his seat. He hasn’t explained why residents of his district should care, but he’ll vote yes. ■ 5th District: At a recent commission meeting, Richard Briggs opined that building a new school was not a good use of tax dollars. He probably votes no, but Briggs has been known to backtrack. ■ 6th District: There’s little reason for him to support the project, but Brad Anders has signaled he’ll vote yes. ■ 7th District: Conditions at Shannondale and Adrian Burnett should give R. Larry Smith something to think about, but he leans yes. ■ 8th District: Dave Wright votes yes. ■ 9th District: Mike Brown votes no unless a deal emerges for New Hopewell, which appears unlikely. ■ At-large Seat 10: Mike Hammond goes with the mayor and votes yes. ■ At-large Seat 11: Ed Shouse is leaning yes, but against his better judgment. The results: ■ Solid yes: Ownby, Anders, Wright and Hammond ■ Solid no: McKenzie, Broyles and Brown ■ Leaning yes: Smith and Shouse ■ Leaning no: Norman and Briggs The mayor needs to keep Smith and Shouse on the reservation. The loyal opposition needs to hold on to Briggs and Norman and pick off either Smith or Shouse. The former is much easier, making the most likely vote 6-5 or 7-4 in the mayor’s favor.

Winning: Madeline Rogero The outcome of a mayoral election boasting more candidate forums than voters is tough to predict, but that’s what we do here at the Shopper-News, so here goes: Madeline Rogero is going to take this thing in the primary. Despite having four opp one nt s and being dubbed “ T h a t Woman” by Rogero Republican men who professed to be scared to death of her, she will get the necessary 50 percent of the vote and then some, sparing us the agony of another two months of endless appeals to the lesser angels of our natures over things like red light cameras and homeless shelters (if Ivan Harmon had made the runoff) or commercials about running government like a bidness delivered by

Betty Bean the slickest talker this side of Ron Popiel (if Mark Padgett had made the runoff). Joe Hultquist and Bo Bennett won’t be factors, although Bennett’s pleasant manner and perseverance have probably won him a lot of new friends. Hultquist, not so much. By the end of campaign season the gimmicky pseudo issues he was throwing against the wall (dismantling KUB, building a campus for the homeless) were not only not sticking, but were largely being ignored. Not a single news outlet of which I am aware covered his appearance at a recent school board meeting when he promised to increase the city’s already substantial voluntary contribution to the county schools.

Harmon and Padgett are locked in a close contest for second. Harmon ran some early feel-good TV spots casting himself as a helpful neighbor who fi xes old ladies’ mailboxes, but he petered out in the home stretch, probably because he has had difficulties raising money. Harmon is clearly hoping to cash in on the nationwide Republican surge with endorsements from county GOP figures like Sheriff J.J. Jones, party chair Ray Hal Jenkins and County Commissioner Jeff Ownby, whose recent robocall to likely voters was paid for by the Committee to Elect Ivan Harmon, but which took an odd, nasty swipe at City Council candidate and former County Commissioner Finbarr Saunders, whom Ownby defeated last year. It remains to be seen whether an overt pitch to fellow Republicans will overcome Democrat Padgett’s

Country living on Mullins Mountain One of the funniest books to come along in awhile was written by local Realtor and raconteur Sonny Mullins. Sonny memorialized the book to his big brother, Jim, who was murdered Sept. 22, 2009, at his store on Rutledge Pike. And while this tragedy touched Sonny to his core, he worked through the pain by recounting tales of life on Mullins Mountain, where every man and boy

called the others “bubba.” Sonny writes of his onearmed daddy and his mother, Gracie Lee. He writes of his wife, Patsy, a long-time teacher at Central High School, and his “one or two hundred cousins.” He writes of the first time an airplane flew over Mullins Mountain. The Rev. Mullins declared the end of time had come and gathered all his kids and neighbors

Rogero, whose great strength is her strong, citywide base, has consistently lagged behind Padgett in fundraising – until now. In the Sept. 20 financial disclosure, Padgett raised $135,215. Rogero took in $139,054, besting him by $4,000. On Tuesday, Madeline Rogero will be poised to make history. She will become not only Knoxville’s first woman mayor, but the first Tennessee woman to become mayor of a city of this size. The spectacle of this lifelong Democrat prevailing in one of the most reliably Republican regions of the country will finally give Tennessee Democrats a little something to cheer about.

■ Had time to review those financial disclosures? ■ Marilyn Roddy spent more than $70K in printing with an out-ofstate firm. So much for bringing jobs to Knoxville! ■ Lamar Alexander is taking a break from Republican Party leadership (he holds the No. 3 spot in the Senate) to concentrate on issues of importance to Tennessee. Lamar has looked increasingly uncomfortable touting the hard as concrete right wing talking points. Good move, Lamar! ■ Becky Massey put out the best piece of comparison campaign literature that I’ve seen. For instance, she says four words: “Opposes red light cameras.” Then she cites a Jan. 29, 2009, News Sentinel article reporting that Marilyn Roddy voted for red light cameras as a member of City Council. ■ Massey goes on with taxes, homeless housing and GOP support. ■ Best of all, her flyer was printed and mailed in Knoxville. ■ Four council seats are up; all will go to the November general election. Here’s our best guess for the top two vote getters from each district in order of finish: ■ District 5: Mark Campen, unopposed ■ Seat A: George Wallace, Paul Berney ■ Seat B: Marshall Stair, Bill Owen ■ Seat C: Finbarr Saunders, Ron Peabody.

Inspecting the inspectors Construction violations trend with economy By Larry Van Guilder “Anyone in construction will sooner or later receive a notice of violation (NOV),” says Chris Granju, who heads Knox County’s Stormwater Management department. The department’s records back that up. From 2008 to the present, NOVs were issued to companies at 35 different business addresses for EPSC (Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control) violations. The number of NOVs per address ranged from five to 25, and 15 were assessed civil penalties of more than $1,000. Not all the penalties were collected. Penalties of $31,750 were levied on the Westland Manor

and Towering Oaks developments for 19 EPSC violations, but the developer went under after paying only $3,000. The county collected an additional $20,000 when the company forfeited its performance bond. Issuing the NOV does not guarantee swift compliance, as Gary and Marsha Carter found out on June 24 when a detention pond collapsed sending a torrent of muddy water into their home on Dawson Hollow Road. As reported in the ShopperNews in August, a stormwater inspector issued an NOV to Southland Excavation on June 6 for defects in the detention pond and gave the company 15 days to fix the problem. On

June 22 Southland asked for more time. On June 24 the pond collapsed. Stormwater records show 21 NOVs issued to the Southland Group and Smithbilt LLC between 2009 and 2011 for nine developments. There is no record of civil penalties assessed. Dwight Van de Vate, director of Public Works and Engineering, says the department’s goal is to put itself “out of business” where violations and civil penalties are concerned. Granju echoes that philosophy, saying the goal is to educate, not punish, the developer. “The last resort is to have Knox County go after the money,”

Granju says. Clearly some builders and developers need education. Van de Vate recalls one who poured five gallons of oil in a creek and incurred a $5,000 penalty. “Autozone will take it for free,” Van de Vate says. “Today’s NOV is 1995’s, ‘Hey, can you put up that silt fence’?” Granju says. And despite horror stories like the Dawson Hollow Road disaster, Van de Vate says “enforcement is better now than it’s ever been.” Granju notes that a developer not in a position to complete the work is probably not in a position to pay a fine. The faltering economy has placed a number of local developers and builders in

that position. “The economy has buried the marginal developer,” Van de Vate says, and the number of foreclosures is “more than we’ve ever had.” Stormwater inspectors performed 623 site inspections during the first quarter of 2011, even as the worst new building market in decades persists. Granju says a consultant study in 2005 concluded that the department needed 17 inspectors “per that paradigm.” But the rules and the “paradigm” change frequently. Phase II of the EPA’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System for stormwater management makes that certain. “Five years from now, the needs will be different,” Van de Vate says. Granju agrees. No developer is asking for more regulation and stricter enforcement, but no one wants another Dawson Hollow.

Women mayors have a long history Madeline Rogero may soon make local history as the first woman mayor of the city of Knoxville. If elected, Rogero will follow a path blazed by Susanna Madora Salter in 1887 when the 27-year-old Kansan was elected mayor of Argonia, a small town near the south central border of the state. Argonia, a Quaker village of less than 500, became nationally and internationally known when Salter became the first woman elected mayor in the U.S. Ironically, women did not win the right to vote in national elections until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, three decades after Salter made history. Writing in the Kansas Historical Quarterly in 1954, historian Monroe Billington recounted how “a certain group of men in Argonia” resented women intruding in political affairs and determined to humiliate them. They had ballots printed with Salter’s name

Larry Van Guilder

on them without her knowledge or consent. When the local chair of the Republican party saw the ballots, he asked Salter if she would run if elected. She agreed, and with the help of votes from members of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was elected. Mayor Salter had the last laugh in more ways than one. She lived to the age of 101, dying in 1961. (Living long is sometimes the best revenge.) Closer to home, May Ross McDowell became the first woman mayor of Johnson City, Tenn., in 1961. A graduate of what was then East Tennessee State College, now ETSU, and the East Tennessee Law School,

McDowell enjoyed a distinguished career before her death in 1988 at the age of 90. Among her many honors, she became only the second woman to receive the U.S. Department of Labor’s highest award, the Certificate of Meritorious Service, in 1964. In 1965 she was named the first “Distinguished Woman in Residence” at the University of Colorado. Last January, the third oldest city in Tennessee, Parrotsville, swore in its first female mayor. Mary Keller, 68, is retired, but her part-time service as mayor keeps her occupied. “Sometimes when you go to bed at night you wonder, ‘What was I thinking?’” Keller says. “But we’ve been real busy trying to put Parrotsville back on the map.” Keller says the town of less than 300 is in the process of renovating the local baseball field as well tennis and basketball courts. She’s also preparing for festivi-

First Presbyterian celebrates colorful history DOWNTOWN ‌ | Wendy Smith irst Presbyterian Church on State Street is Knoxville’s oldest church, and a few episodes in its long history were highlighted during the recent East Tennessee History Fair. Samuel Carrick is believed to have founded First Presbyterian in 1792. He would later found Blount College, which eventually became UT. Knoxville founder James White donated a parcel of land that was once a turnip patch for the church’s first permanent home, which was completed in 1816. The church’s current pastor, William Pender, portrayed former Civil War-era pastor William Andrew Harrison during a reenactment of a dramatic moment in the church’s history. Harrison, who was pro-Confederate, let it be known from the pulpit that he didn’t think Unionists could be Christians. Union First Presbyterian Church member Pat Armstrong stands beside Abner Baker’s obelisk in the church’s graveyard. Photos by Wendy Smith

Ken Creswell and First Presbyterian Pastor William Pender portray an incident famous in the church’s history when Civil War-era pastor William Andrew Harrison was arrested for anti-Union sentiments.

General Ambrose Burnside heard of Harrison’s remarks, and the pastor was arrested in the midst of a sermon in 1864. First Presbyterian member Kelly Norrell shared the history of church’s stained glass windows. Four of the oldest windows, which date back to the early 1900s, are thought to be the work of Flora and Ruby MacDonald of MacDonald Glassworks of Boston. They are made of opaque glass, which was considered less distracting to worshippers than translucent glass. The MacDonalds were paid $10,000 for the commission – an enormous sum at the time. Two other windows are attributed to Louis Comfort Tiffany. One is a large window that was later divided, and the halves are now on either side of the church’s State Street entrance. The other is in the sanctuary. Tiffany was commissioned to create a third window, but its location is unknown. One window was covered up when the balcony was built in the 1925, and Norrell wonders if it could be the missing Tiffany work. The windows are all memorials to First Presbyterian members. The newest window was installed in a church

Louis Comfort Tiffany is credited with creating the stained glass windows that adorn either side of the church’s State Street entrance. parlor earlier this month in honor of Rosa Scott, who led a popular Bible study for many years. Pat Armstrong conducted a tour of First Presbyterian’s graveyard. Ten percent of the graves belong to Knoxvillians who succumbed to an 1838 plague, Armstrong said. Church founder Carrick is buried in the corner closest to the intersection of State Street and Clinch Avenue, supposedly to be close to the first home of Blount College, which stood in the Tennessee Theater’s present location. James White is also bur-

ied there, along with three members of U.S. Congress – William Blount, John Williams, and Hugh Lawson White, son of James. But the most colorful character in the cemetery may be Confederate soldier Abner Baker. Baker’s father, Dr. Harvey Baker, was shot by Union sympathizers in his home, the historic Baker Peters House located at Kingston Pike and South Peters Road. After the war, Abner returned to Knoxville and hunted down his father’s murderer. But his revenge was short-lived, for he was later hung by Unionists.

Enough: A place of peace In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.” (Exodus 16: 13-15 NRSV) When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” (Matthew 14: 15-18 NRSV) Hungry masses, deserted place: the settings for two stories. You know these two stories. You probably have heard them linked together in more than one sermon. You also may have heard them explained away, rationalized into nothingness. You may have heard them questioned. You may have heard them scoffed at. It was a conversation with a colleague, whose mind I enjoy, that set me thinking about these two accounts of miraculous feeding. We had finished the business at hand, and because we both work with populations who do not always have what they need, let alone what they want, the conversation turned to the economies in which we live. Not, please note, The Economy, that fearsome beast that is on everyone’s lips these days. We were talking about the economies of scarcity and plenty, and the ways in which each person’s perception of those extremes is set in place by our own experiences and our own expectations. We pondered those extremes and agreed that in the center was the ideal, the concept of Enough. And then the question arose, “Is the story of manna true? Or is it a parable? A fairy tale? Was the manna real?” There are all sorts of answers to those questions. Scholars point out

Cross Currents

Lynn Hutton that there is a secretion from certain plants in the Sinai Peninsula that dries to an edible form they call St. John’s Bread. As for me, I am pretty sure it as not a fairy tale. You can’t live on fairy tales. But after the conversation was over, I kept reflecting on the question, and I arrived again at my version of God’s Rules of Manna: 1. There will be enough. 2. There won’t be any extra. 3. It may not be exactly what you would choose. 4. It won’t come until you absolutely have to have it. 5. When in doubt, see Rule No. 1. God’s rules are predicated on our being willing to give up control (tough assignment, that one!), to trust God, and obey the rules: the Israelites had to share, and they couldn’t be greedy. None of which removes our responsibility to do something to help ourselves: the manna did not fall directly onto the Israelites’ dinner plates; they had to gather it. But the hardest assignment is learning that Enough is a state of equilibrium – a place of peace, of grace.

ball games leading up to the deadline. At the game against Clinton, it collected approximately $820. During homecoming last week, the band Traveling Mercies played at the SGA sponsored bonfire and donated the proceeds from its demo record sale to the fund. The SGA also sponsored a black light pep rally on Thursday and a homecoming rave on Friday night after the game against Central High School. “What we make from the rave usually funds the rest of our projects for the year,” Beckler said.

The SGA will also be sponsoring Pink Week Monday through Friday, Oct. 24-28. The game against Karns High School that Friday will be a pink out. “The week will be all about raising money for breast cancer,” Beckler said. “We will be donating the money to Susan G. Komen.” On Tuesday, Nov. 1, SGA middle and high school students from around the region will gather at HVA for a Tennessee Association of Student Councils leadership workshop. As a result of Beckler’s election as the East Tennessee representative to TASC last year, the HVA SGA will sponsor the event. “Students will gather and learn about what it means to be a school leader,” she said. Considering the exhaustive list of activities, one must wonder how Beckler manages to effectively lead all 75 SGA members and meet all the deadlines for each event. “I promised I would work hard for everyone, if they would work hard for me,” she said. “Tasks some people think would be big, I don’t see as a challenge and I am really not doing it by myself. Everyone is doing a great job.” SGA also has teacher appreciation projects and Christmas caroling planned for this semester. It will also help with the Special Olympics in the spring. Despite the busy schedule, Beckler’s enthusiasm is contagious as she discusses each project. “I just love school,” she said. “I want to be here as much as I can be, and I am a true servant. I live to make everyone else’s job easier, and I want the entire student body’s high school experience to be awesome.” After graduation, Beckler wants to attend an in-state university. She is debating between a business or a health field degree.

Hallway of zip ties Pellissippi art instructor displays sculpture

Brian Jobe, an adjunct faculty member at Pellissippi State, is one of three emerging artists showcased in the Knoxville Museum of Art’s Comtemporary Focus 2011. Jobe’s “Turfside Passage” is an interactive sculpture shaped like a hallway, one lined with 14-inch yellow zip ties. The entire piece is 7 feet tall, 28 inches wide and 25 feet deep, giving viewers room to interact with the art rather than just look at it. Touching is encouraged in the brightly colored, sense-laden hallway. “Repetition signals endlessness,” said Jobe of his creation. “The desire to move down pathways and passages is innate. ‘Turfside Passage’ is a project inspired by an interest in creating architectural spaces and a desire to engage the public in a physical, sensory experience. Viewers can choose to walk through the passage and allow the work to affect them.”

Brian Jobe stands inside his sculpture, “Turfside Passage.” It is featured in the Knoxville Museum of Art’s Contemporary Focus 2011 exhibit, which runs through Nov. 6. Photo submitted John Bissonette and Greg Pond are the other featured artists. The Knoxville Museum of Art is located at 1050 World’s Fair Park Dr. Info: www. knoxart.org or 525-6101.

Behold Buffalo on the football horizon. Fortunately, basketball is near enough to be a substitute subject. To quote a past president, “Let me make one thing perfectly clear …” Cuonzo Martin is not Bruce Pearl. Never was. Won’t be. He is not a natural promoter, of himself or others. He is not a marketing major. He is spirited and determined but something less than flamboyant. ESPN will have to get along without much of his help. You are not likely to see him in orange body paint. You are not likely to see his team in the second round of the NCAA tournament. If it answers the opening bell, Martin should be coach of the year. His Vols have been picked as low as last in the Southeastern Conference. As with most new coaches, he has this job because there were problems. Cuonzo faces a difficult task,

which is one reason the dearly departed Mike Hamilton more than quadrupled his Missouri State pay and presented a five-year contract. Ah yes, I remember it well … “Cuonzo is among the most promising young coaches in the game, and we are excited about the coaching ability, toughness and energy that he brings to our program,” said Hamilton. In more ways than one, the former athletic director and the former coach contributed to the overall difficulty. The schedule is daunting. There is good and bad. Tennessee gets to play in Hawaii. Tennessee has to play Duke.

The only interruption in the SEC schedule is defending national champion UConn at Thompson-Boling on Jan. 21, just past the middle of a dangerous segment that could result in nine losses in 10 games. Give that some thought. Here’s what I know for certain about basketball: There is a critical link between recruiting and records. Great players make coaches seem much smarter. Going all the way back to Emmett Lowery, before Ray Mears, the best Tennessee teams had the best players. It is almost impossible to win on the road when rivals get top talent and you get good kids with heart and hustle. Much better story if it happened the other way but no go. Martin says his team will play hard. That won’t be enough. In fact, anything less would be an embarrassment. The upcoming Volunteers need to play smart and somebody must rebound now and then and

Walgreens ‘Volprentice’ challenge

Are you ready? Rural/Metro encourages 72-hour emergency supply kit Rural/Metro and our fellow public safety agencies have extensive response plans and resources in place to respond to major disasters, but it still may take time to reach everyone during such an emergency. It is important for individuals to be prepared. September is National Disaster Preparedness Month, which encourRob ages Americans to work Webb Division General together to take concrete Manager of actions toward emergency Rural/Metro preparedness. One such step is to create a 72-hour emergency supply kit. Recent storms and disasters across the world have demonstrated that it may take several hours, and even days, for first responders to reach everyone. Basic services like electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment and telephones could be cut off for a week or longer. Our team is trained and prepared to respond during a mass disaster. But to help protect yourself and your family until help arrives, Rural/Metro highly recommends that everyone have a personal 72-hour emergency supply kit. Items for a basic emergency supply kit include: ■ Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation ■ Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food ■ Battery-powered or hand-crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both ■ Flashlight and extra batteries ■ First aid kit ■ Whistle to signal for help ■ Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place ■ Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation ■ Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities ■ Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food) ■ Local maps ■ Cell phone with (auto) chargers Some additional items to consider include prescription medication and glasses, infant formula and diapers, pet food and extra water for your pet, weather appropriate clothing, important documents, matches and activities for children.

Central High graduate and UT senior Erin Norton had her feet firmly planted on what she thought was the perfect career path for her, but after participating in a UT class partnership with Walgreens, she’s considering a detour.

Anne Hart

On the second day of school this fall, Dr. Nancy Rutherford’s retail class (in UT’s Department of Retail, Hospitality and Tourism Management) heard from a Walgreens executive with a challenge: divide the class into five teams, each team develop a different UT-related product, Walgreens will sell each team’s product in a different one of five stores in the Knoxville market and the team that makes the greatest profit will be named the “2011 Walgreens Volprentice.” All jokes about Donald Trump and his “Apprentice” TV program aside, the students have taken this project seriously, and have learned a lot about doing real business in the real world.

Erin Norton and Jaime Bridgman model T-shirts they helped design for a UT class project sponsored by Walgreens. Photo submitted

Dr. Rutherford calls the project “very exciting,” and says of her students, “It’s amazing how creative they are.” Erin says it has been so much fun and such a great challenge that she may change her career path from women’s wear buyer in a department store or a boutique to product development. She says she and her fellow team members – Lee Smith, Taylor McCorkle, Jaime Bridgman and Nikita Johnson – with only two

weeks to develop a product and one week to get it produced, immediately decided to do a T-shirt or sweatshirt, designing several different logos before choosing just one – a checkerboard design. “We designed it with three-quarter length sleeves so it can be worn through the football, basketball and baseball seasons.” As part of the project, each team visited the store where its product would be sold to develop information about the demographics of

shoppers at that specific location. “We are in the Walgreens on Middlebrook Pike at Cedar Bluff Road,” Erin says. “We were told by the store manager that the typical shopper there is a middle aged woman buying for her husband and kids, so we had that in mind when we did our design.” After completion of the design, Knoxville’s Bacon & Co. produced the Tshirts. Last week Erin and her fellow team members were at the store setting up the display. Rutherford says the students won’t just sit back and wait for shoppers to stroll into the store. They’re now hard at work on various marketing strategies – social media included. The contest ends on Oct. 18, and here’s how you can participate: visit Erin’s team’s store on Middlebrook Pike or the other Walgreens participating in the project on Chapman Highway, Clinton Highway at Merchants Road, Northshore Drive near Kingston Pike or Peters Road at Kingston Pike. UT will receive a portion of the proceeds to fund instructional programs. If you do your holiday shopping early, you can choose the next “Volprentice.” Contactannehartsn@aol.com

NEWS FROM WEBB SCHOOL OF KNOXVILLE

Teach to Each By Angie Crabtree, Lower School Director Webb School of Knoxville

N

ot all students are alike, and not all students learn in the same way. Given the reality of those two statements, how do teachers in today’s classrooms address the challenge of “individualizing” instruction? At Webb School, the answer is largely through differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction is an Angie Crabtree instructional concept that maximizes learning for ALL students – regardless of skill level or background. It’s based on the fact that in a typical classroom, students vary in their academic abilities, learning styles, personalities, interests, background knowledge and experiences, and levels of motivation for learning. When a teacher differentiates instruction, he or she uses the best teaching practices and strategies to create different pathways that respond to the needs of all learners.

Differentiated Instruction is an instructional concept that maximizes learning for ALL students – regardless of skill level or background. When a teacher “teaches to the middle,” the teacher misses at least 40 percent of the students within the classroom – 25 percent who need support and additional practice and 15 percent who need enrichment and a higher level of complexity relating to the content, process of learning or final product. In order to reach and teach all learners within a classroom, a teacher must implement the tenets of differentiated instruction in the research, planning and delivery of curriculum. Within a classroom that incorporates differentiated instruction as a model for instruction, a teacher examines his/her role within the classroom and incorporates the following tenets:

N A teacher understands the learning profile for each student to include strengths, weaknesses, interests, and multiple intelligences. A teacher must begin where the student is and develop a plan for progress; otherwise, the

Learning should be hands-on, rewarding, engaging, and thought provoking. Not all students are alike, and they deserve to be treated as individual, unique learners.

Through a variety of activities targeting individual needs, Webb students are provided with multiple opportunities for processing information and making sense of concepts.

Using differentiated instruction, Webb teachers increase the level of engagement in their students by structuring the classroom to work in small groups, enabling students to practice the skills of communication and collaboration.

teacher assumes that the student is ready for the content and that everyone is functioning at the same level. And in almost all classrooms, this is not the case. A teacher would gather data about the student formally (interest inventories, pre-assessments, parent input, and learning preferences) and informally (observation and discussion). From the data collected, the teacher would develop a pathway that determines the best approach to reach and teach the student.

Webb fourth grade teacher Beth Meyer works with Eli Davies on a math problem using an iPad app called ScreenChomp. The app allows students to draw and save work, record their voices and then share what they’ve done with classmates and teachers.

N A teacher engages students and allows them to be active learners rather than passive recipients of information. One method of increasing the level of engagement is to structure the classroom to work in small groups. Students may be grouped according to interests, strengths, weaknesses, personality, and/or ability. By working in small groups, students are able to practice the skills of communication and collaboration.

N A teacher must shift his/her paradigm to think photo album instead of snapshot relating to student performance – to collectively evaluate the progress a student is making over time – from beginning to end. As the teacher thinks about each student relating to where he/she is performing at that moment in time, the teacher may adjust the curriculum related to the complexity of the content being presented, the cognitive process of the learning or the final product from the student to reach and teach each learner. Learning should be hands-on, rewarding, engaging, and thought provoking. Not all students are alike, and they deserve to be treated as individual, unique learners. Differentiated instruction makes that possible.

Brain Boosters and more By Beth Meyer, Fourth Grade In fourth grade, students participate in a variety of activities targeting individual needs during Guided Math and Guided Language Arts, which are basically centers. Depending on their specific center plan, they participate in activities utilizing the Smart Board, their iPads, classroom laptops, and a mixture of other hands-on materials in the classroom. This gives students multiple opportunities for processing information and making sense of concepts. Also, during Guided Math and Language, the teacher is available for one-onone “coaching.” During the coaching

sessions, the teacher meets the child at his or her level of understanding. Each morning the students are given a “Brain Booster” activity, which is simply a formative assessment of skills and concepts introduced or to be introduced in math, language arts and social studies. Each day, the information gained from these assessments helps the teachers identify the students’ understanding and allows prompt adjustments in the curriculum and presentation of information. This student-based approach is the preferred alternative to expecting students to modify their learning to the teacher’s favorite style of presentation.

Local orthopedic surgeon invents ‘dog-bone’ implant normal position, allowing the body’s torn ligaments to heal.â€? “With surgery and this implant, patients will experience improved function, improved, if not eliminated, pain and get back to sport within six months,â€? Brady said. Brady performed the ďŹ rst Dog Bone implant in July. The patient is recovering well.

Device twice as strong as any other shoulder repair Paul Brady is a down-toearth guy, practical and enterprising. He’s also a boardcer tif ied orthopedic surgeon at Pa rk west Medical Center who has invented a shoulder implant Paul Brady, M.D. that is twice as strong as any other repair technique in existence for the Acromio-Clavicular (AC) joint. He’s pretty low-key about that, too. “Want to see one?â€? Brady asked, ďŹ shing his car keys from a pants pocket. The quarter-inch-long metal implant dangles from a string to his key fob, and by virtue of its shape is called the “Dog-Bone.â€? A sports fan, Brady graduated with honors from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. During his residency at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, he was assistant team physician for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team. His sports medicine background inspired the Dog Bone when Brady learned of the AC joint injury suffered by Oklahoma Sooners quar-

Close up of Dog Bone Implant terback and Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford in 2009. AC joint dislocation is a relatively common injury in football and hockey players. Similar injuries have affected NFL quarterback Eli Manning and Michigan’s quarterback Tate Forcier. “Conventional repair to this type of injury involves drilling 4- to 6-millimeter holes in the clavicle (collarbone), which weakens the bone, involves persistent pain during recovery and has a mediocre success rate. I knew there had to be a better way,� Brady said. So he headed to Home Depot. Brady purchased several metal washers at the home supply retailer and went to work in his garage, milling a prototype which would become the Dog Bone. Then, he

tested the Dog Bone on fake shoulder bones, and results were outstanding. The concept was pitched to Arthrex, a company that specializes in orthopedic products and education. With input from Brady, Arthrex engineers tweaked the design, which now has been perfected and is in the process of being patented. The ďŹ rst Dog Bone implant was released in April 2010 on a limited basis. Brady expects wide distribution within coming months. “There are a couple of major beneďŹ ts of using the Dog Bone,â€? Brady explained. “First, it’s an arthroscopic procedure that involves three 1/4-inch incisions which is a signiďŹ cantly decreased risk from open surgery. The holes that are drilled into the bone are so

Parkwest orthopedic surgeon Paul Brady uses a medical model of the human shoulder to show where Dog Bone implant would be placed. much smaller than conventional repair that four times less bone is removed.� Brady said that with shoulder or AC separations, the joint between the collarbone and shoulder blade is injured. The ligaments and capsule connecting the bones can be injured to variable degrees depending upon the severity of the injury. It is commonly caused by a fall directly on the “point� of the shoulder. This type of

Common injuries of the shoulder Whether throwing a ball, paddling a canoe, lifting boxes or pushing a lawn mower, we rely heavily upon our shoulders to perform a number of activities. Normally, the shoulder has a wide range of motion, making it the most mobile joint in the body. Because of this exibility, however, it is not very stable and is easily injured. The shoulder is made up of two main bones: the end of upper arm bone (humerus) and the shoulder blade (scapula). The end of the humerus is round, and it ďŹ ts into a socket in the scapula. The scapula extends around the shoulder joint to form the roof of the shoulder, and this joins with the collar bone (clavicle). Surrounding the shoulder is a bag of muscles and ligaments. Ligaments connect the bones of the shoulders, and tendons connect the bones to surrounding muscle. Four muscles begin at the scapula and go around the shoulder, where their tendons fuse to form the rotator cuff. When the shoulder moves, the end of the humerus moves in the socket. Very little of the surface of the bones touch each other. Ligaments and muscles keep the humerus from slipping out of the socket and keep the clavicle attached to the scapula. To keep shoulders healthy and pain-free, it’s important to know how to spot and avoid common injuries.

One or more rotator cuff tendons may also become inflamed from overuse, aging, a fall on an outstretched hand or a collision. A torn rotator cuff is just one thing that can go wrong with the shoulder.

der becomes unstable when muscles and ligaments that hold it together are stretched beyond their normal limits. For younger people, this condition may be a normal part of growth and development. Shoulders generally stiffen or tighten with age. In athletes, shoulder instability is caused by activities such as tackling or pitching that put extreme force on the shoulder. Symptoms of shoulder instability are pain that comes on either suddenly or gradually, a feeling that the shoulder is loose or a weakness in the arm. Treatment may be rest, physical therapy or surgery. A shoulder separation, also called a sprain, occurs when the ligaments that hold the clavicle to the roof of the N Shoulder instability shoulder tear. If this hapShoulder instability occurs pens, the clavicle is pushed when the shoulder feels like it out of place and forms a might slip out of place. It oc- bump at the top of the shoulcurs most often in young peo- der. Sprains are common in ple and athletes. The shoul- falls, when the hand or arm

is outstretched to stop the fall, or when the fall is on a hard surface. Symptoms are severe pain when the sprain occurs, a misshapen shoulder and decreased movement of the shoulder. Treatment depends on the severity of the sprain. Ice applied immediately after the injury helps decrease pain and swelling. Keeping the arm in a sling to limit the movement of the shoulder allows ligaments to heal; this is followed by physical therapy exercises. Sometimes, surgery is needed. If the ligaments that hold the shoulder muscles to bones tear and can’t hold the joint together, the shoulder is dislocated. A fall onto an outstretched hand, arm or the shoulder itself, or a violent twisting, can cause a shoulder dislocation. The main symptom is pain in the shoulder that becomes worse when the shoulder is moved. Treatment for a dislocation

is ice applied immediately after the injury to decrease pain, swelling and bleeding around the joint. Within 15 to 30 minutes of the injury, the joint will be painful and swollen. A dislocated shoulder needs immediate medical care. Doctors treat dislocations by using gentle traction to pull the shoulder back into place. When the shoulder pops out of the socket repeatedly, the condition is called recurrent instability. Recurrent instability can be treated with surgery to repair the torn ligaments.

N Rotator cuff tear The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles of the upper arm that raise and rotate the arm. The muscles are attached to the bones by tendons. The job of muscles is to move bones. The tendons of the rotator cuff allow the muscles to move the arm. If the tendons tear, the humerus can’t move as easily in the socket, making it difďŹ cult to move the arm up or away from the body. As people age and their physical activity decreases, tendons begin to lose strength. This weakening can lead to a rotator cuff tear. Rotator cuff injuries occasionally occur in younger people, but most of them happen to middle-aged or older adults who already have shoulder problems. This area of the body has a poor supply of blood, making it more difďŹ cult for the tendons to repair and maintain themselves. As a person ages, these tendons degenerate. Using your arm overhead puts pressure on the rotator cuff tendons. Repetitive movement or stress to these tendons can lead to

injury can cause signiďŹ cant pain and tenderness at the front of the shoulder joint, especially when an athlete attempts overhead movements such as throwing. Diagnosis is made with a physical exam and x-rays. “Sometimes, the patient will notice something sticking up in his or her shoulder,â€? Brady said. “The Dog Bone implant is a type of washer that will secure the clavicle back down to its

impingement, in which the tissue or bone in that area becomes misaligned and rubs or chafes. The rotator cuff tendons can be injured or torn by trying to lift a very heavy object while the arm is extended, or by trying to catch a heavy falling object. Symptoms of a torn rotator cuff include tenderness and soreness in the shoulder during an activity that uses the shoulder. A tendon that has ruptured may make it impossible to raise the arm. It may be difďŹ cult to sleep lying on that side, and you may feel pain when pressure is put on the shoulder. Treatment depends on the severity of the injury. If the tear is not complete, your health care provider may recommend RICE, for rest, ice, compression and elevation. Resting the shoulder is probably the most important part of treatment, although after the pain has eased, you should begin physical therapy to regain shoulder movement. Your doctor may prescribe a nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drug (NSAID) for pain.

N Frozen shoulder This extreme stiffness in the shoulder can occur at any age. It affects approximately 2 percent of Americans, most often between 40 to 60 years of age. Although the causes are not completely understood, it can affect people with diabetes, thyroid disease, heart disease or Parkinson’s disease. It can also occur if the shoulder has been kept immobile for a period of time. It occurs when a minor shoulder injury heals with scar tissue that affects how the joint moves. This scar tissue reduces exibility in the shoulder and makes

it more prone to injury. The major symptom is the inability to move the shoulder in any direction without pain. Treatment can be NSAIDs, cortisone injections or physical therapy. You can reduce further injury and stiffness by stretching before starting activities.

N Overuse/strains Sudden increases in activity can place extensive stress on the shoulders and lead to a decrease in exibility. This is a common problem in middle age, especially among “weekend warriors,â€? or people who don’t exercise regularly but go out every now and then for an intense sport. Although painful and inconvenient, these overuse problems can usually be treated with rest, NSAIDs and stretching exercises.

N Arthritis Beginning as early as age 50, some people develop osteoarthritis, which causes painful movement. This occurs as the smooth surfaces of the cartilage that line the bones of the shoulder joint are worn away, and joints begin to wear out and become larger. The most common cause of osteoarthritis is overuse. Treatments for arthritis in the shoulder depend on the severity of pain. The usual treatments are rest, NSAIDs and cortisone injections. In some instances, a replacement of the shoulder joint is necessary. Information contained in these stories should not be construed as medical advice.

Picnic at Elmcroft

Huber has a voice that is perfect for the Big Band era and she brings life to every tune she sings. “They just don’t make songs like they used to,” said Geri Johnston, who dressed up for the occasion. She not only puts her heart into every song she sings, Huber also gives the audience a brief history of each selection. Did you know that the song “Somewhere over the Rainbow” almost didn’t make the cut for “The Wizard of Oz?” Huber told the audience that the song was thought to be “too slow” for the movie, but fortunately someone made the decision to include it in the film. Huber shared classics such as “As Time Goes By,” “Dream a Little Dream” and “Blue Skies,” and it was nice to hear audience members sing along, remember and smile.
