Name that school
What’s in a name? A lot if you are currently known as “Southwest Sector Elementary School.” Knox County Schools is asking the public for input on naming the new elementary school that is opening on Thunderhead Road in Northshore Town Center. The school, which now has an approved enrollment zone that affected the zoning on six other elementary schools, is scheduled to open in August. Suggestions for a name, along with an explanation and rationale behind the name, may be sent to nametheschool@ knoxschools.org. Deadline for submissions is Friday, March 22.

Karns update Commissioner Brad Anders sees great things ahead for the Karns area. He spoke last week to the Karns Republican Club. Theresa Edwards was there to get his take on sidewalks, crosswalks, the trash convenience center, road improvements, a senior center and more.

An architect’s architect Labor Day, 1940. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had just begun his campaign for a third term. The President and his entourage were proceeding down Henley Street en route to Newfound Gap to dedicate the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As they passed the Church Street United Methodist Church, the president remarked, “That is the most beautiful church I have ever seen.” Built in 1930, the church was designed by Charles I. Barber (1887-1962) in cooperation with John Russell Pope of New York in Gothic Revival style to emulate the early Gothic style of Durham Cathedral.

Karns High pushes ‘tech-cellence’ By Theresa Edwards Students, teachers and administrators at Karns High School are running a full court press to be selected as one of 10 Knox County schools to receive oneto-one technology next year. Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre has said he will recommend this pilot program to demonstrate the benefits of laptops or digital devices to both teachers and students.
He didn’t have to convince KHS principal Dr. Tracy Sands. She has pushed for more technology since coming to the school, and now has launched a program called “Striving for Tech-cellence.” Assistant principal Robert Norton visited the Karns Community Club last week to ask for support. Personal computers will enable students to learn faster and teachers to personalize instruction, he said.
The Karns Community Club agreed. “We are writing Dr. McIntyre to recommend Karns High School be selected for this program,” said club president Don Gordon. Karns High is asking for community, parents, students and staff support during this process. Anyone with questions or suggestions on how technology can be used to personalize learn- Robert Norton, Karns High School ing may contact Cori Hackworth assistant principal, visits the Karns at khstechcellence@gmail.com.

Middlebrook Pike UMC welcomes the Deaf By Theresa Edwards Middlebrook Pike United Methodist Church has partnered with Visual Communication Interpreting to provide certified ASL interpreters for the contemporary service at 11 a.m. each Sunday. “We welcome the Deaf,” said senior pastor Eric Rieger. “We are thankful for the church to open its heart and its doors to everyone including our new deaf friends.” “If you know anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing that uses ASL to communicate, please let them know this service is now accessible to them,” said church member Sara Shoemaker, who signs with her adopted Chinese son. This is the first United Methodist church in the Knoxville area to offer ASL interpretation, according to interpreter Ruann Wood, although there are other denominations that offer it. “This is another option for deaf people,” Wood said. Wood’s deaf friend, Lavona Collins, came to the service to provide feedback from her perspective. She let Wood know if she was standing in the best place to be seen, if the signs were easy to understand, and if she was able to participate in the worship experience easily. “How deaf and hearing people think things should be set up are two different things,” Wood explained. “I thought it was good,” Collins signed as Wood interpreted. “It was similar to my (Baptist) church actually, with the exception of the

The pastor went more in depth on the topic than my preacher does. “The interpretation was clear, and the words on the screens for the songs and Scripture also helped.” The church is located at the corner of Middlebrook Pike and Vanosdale Road.

The facilities will be similar to Powell’s when completed, according to Anders. The county is also still working on plans for a senior center in Karns. “Karns is the only district without a senior center,” he said.

government The closing of Fort Kid Fort Kid looks destined to close but the actual date is uncertain. Twenty-two years ago from April 3-7, 1991, the Fort was constructed with over 12,000 pennies collected from Knox County children and manual labor contributed by hundreds of citizens continuously over a 5-day period. Those children are now in their late twenties or early thirties. Led by West Knoxville civic activist Beth Waters, it was a Herculean effort to celebrate the city’s Bicentennial with a lasting legacy. And it has lasted almost 22 years. However, city spokesperson Jesse Mayshark says that “The playground at Fort Kid is being phased out, with the aim of turning that property into public green space. As pieces of equipment become unsafe, they are being removed and decommissioned.� Money has not yet been made available to do this.� The co-ordinating committee which led the effort was composed of Waters plus Bruce Bosse, Wes Stowers, Karen Robinson, Randy Massey and Nancy Prosser. Helping in the campaign was the finance chair, Bill Haslam, then a young Knoxville businessman, along with Larry Martin, who then led First Tennessee Bank which collected all the pennies. Fort Kid is located across from the Knoxville Museum of Art near the Victorian Houses at the World’s Fair Park. When I dropped by to visit, most of the playground equipment was still there. While it was showing age, there was no notice that the equipment is unsafe or that it was not open for people to use. The plaque identifying the various groups who gave to its creation is still there. The Public Building Authority does the day-today maintenance, but it is owned by the city. Apparently there has not been a meeting with the public to determine how

to handle Fort Kid. Since it was created by private efforts and labor, it seems logical to consult with those who placed it there 22 years ago and determine the best way forward. Beth Waters handles a maintenance fund for Fort Kid, created in 1991, which has grown considerably over the past two decades, which could be used for the Fort. ■State Rep. Ryan Haynes is hosting a fundraiser for state Sen. Jim Tracy who is running against embattled incumbent Republican Scott DesJarlais in the 4th congressional district. The event will be at the home of Wes Stowers on Inlet Drive in West Knox County on March 28. ■Allen Borden, former Director of Economic Development for Knoxville in the first part of the Ashe Administration is now assistant commissioner of Economic and Community Development for the Haslam Administration in Nashville. ■Brooks Brothers Store at West Town Mall will close after its last day on March 25 as its space is being leased to another tenant. There are no plans to open another Brooks Brothers store in Knoxville. ■TVA will argue Tuesday, March 12, in federal court before Judge Tena Campbell to have the current lawsuit challenging TVA’s dress code dismissed. Hearing is at 4 p.m. at the Howard Baker Federal Building and is open to the public. One would think TVA would have better issues to spend money on than how people dress at its public hearings. Of all the issues facing TVA, this would seem to be among the most insignificant.
NOTES ■Trustee John Duncan will speak to the Halls Republican Club 7-8 p.m. Monday, March 18, at the club’s new meeting place: the Boys and Girls Club, 1819 Dry Gap Pike. ■Charme Knight, candidate for District Attorney General, will speak to the Powell Republican Club 7 p.m. Thursday, March 21, at Shoney’s on Emory Road at I-75. ■Lincoln Day Dinner will be 6 p.m. Friday, April 12, at Rothchild’s, 8807 Kingston Pike.

The best day of his life Sam Hardman is wise, even for his 94 years, and although his body is wearing out, his mind is as sharp as ever and his spirit is indomitable. Nicknamed “Uncle Sam� by his nephew David Sharp, Hardman was honored last week by HonorAir and Woodmen of the World at the Ben Atchley Veterans’ Home where he is mending following hospitalization. HonorAir named its student ambassador program for Hardman, and Woodmen of the World donated $1,200 to fund two student ambassadors. Gene Bayless, retired brigadier general with the Tennessee Army National Guard, stayed for lunch with his old friend. “This is the best day of my life,� said Hardman with a twinkle, “until tomorrow.�
Sandra Clark
Eddie Mannis, Knoxville’s deputy mayor and founder of the local HonorAir, saluted Hardman: “We could not think of anyone more deserving of this honor.� HonorAir takes veterans of World War II and Korea to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials built to honor their sacrifice. Each veteran is accompanied by a guardian. In October 2010, Mannis invited two students to serve as guardians. Since then, 15 students have served. It’s a life-changing experience for the kids.
‘Campfield gives me hope’ Last week’s meeting of the Boyd Cloud Democratic Club was proof that there’s no truth to the rumor that Knox County Democrats hold their meetings in a phone booth. The Democrats got booted out of their usual meeting room at Shoney’s by a bunch of bass fishermen, so they crowded into a small back dining hall and just kept coming. Late arrivals pulled up chairs outside

As “Uncle Sam� said last week: “Freedom is not free. Every generation has to do its part.� He said he was inspired by recent high school graduate Tucker Hunley. “I sent him $50 when he graduated from high school because he was also an Eagle Scout, and he sent the check back with a note saying to donate it to HonorAir. I forwarded it right on to Eddie,� Hardman said. That donation helped launch the student ambassadorship program. Hardman went to Washington on HonorAir’s second trip, when “Eddie and I just hit it off.� Since then he’s become a champion for the program, raising money and greeting returning veterans. Hardman entered the Army “as a buck and came out as a technical sergeant.� There’s no better tribute
to Sam’s optimism and vision than to send a kid to Washington with an aging veteran. Info: 859-9279 or HonorAir, c/o Prestige Cleaners, 7536 Taggart Lane, Knoxville 37938.
cluding elected officials, former candidates and high rollers like former state party chair Doug Horne and LaFollette lawyer David Dunaway turned out early on a cold Saturday morning to hear Herron lay down some smack talk. And Herron – lawyer, preacher and former state senator from Ned McWherter’s hometown of Dresden – called on all of those vocations when he delivered a “Why I am a Democrat� message that left the faithful pumped up and hopeful. The speech is pretty much a distillation of the guest column that’s run in the state’s largest daily newspapers in recent weeks, with the addition of an applause line
that came when he ment ione d a name that he hopes will inspire Democrat s to write checks and knock on Herron doors: “Stacey Campfield gives me hope every day.� He didn’t seem to be more than halfway kidding when he said he bases that hope on Campfield’s reputation as a tireless campaigner. That’s a game that Democrats can play, he said. “If the good folks of Knox County will elect him because he works hard, Democrats can be elected.�
Educators can’t ignore politics By Betty Bean The four scholars on the Graduate School of Education panel on charter schools and vouchers that met in the Relix Theatre last week really tried to stay out of the political realm, but current events like the bill flying through the General Assembly creating a nine-member board appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam and Speakers Ron Ramsey and Beth Harwell to be the final decider of appeals of charter school denials were impossible to ignore. (Repeat – a board appointed by Nashville politicians is going to have the authority to override the decisions of local school boards – no appeals and no new money.) The panel – Dr. Cara Moore, Dr. Scott Ellison, Dr. Autumn Tooms Cypres and Dr. Richard Allington – all made thought-provoking points. But Allington was especially pointed in his criticism of political interference in education and his suggestions for less political and

less costly solutions to societal problems. A llington (who has been Fien Dist ing uished Professor of Allington Educ at ion at the University of Florida; chair of the Department of Reading at the University at Albany, SUNY; past president of three national organizations; principal investigator on research projects funded by three federal agencies; and author of more than 150 articles and several books) called the notion that American schools are falling behind competitors in other places “the big myth that’s been perpetuated by corporate egos.� Allington said American schools take all students, including those with disabilities and those who will move into vocational fields, unlike schools in many other coun-
tries with which they are compared. “American schools have made more progress with fourth grade reading than any other nation in the world – moved up a half dozen spots. The comparisons are just not accurate – we attempt to educate everyone.� He acknowledged the gap between rich and poor as the most reliable predictor of academic success, and said that gap is growing despite vast sums of money having been spent on efforts to close it. He predicted that Race to the Top is unlikely to be any more successful. “We’ve had more federal interference in education than at any time in history.� He drew applause when he wondered why Tennessee teachers using mandated programs and not getting good evaluations aren’t suing. Then he cited the biggest problem schools face and suggested a strategy that is simple, relatively inexpensive and proven.

“High poverty schools generally have as much reading and math growth during the school year as other schools‌ but what happens is summer reading and math loss,â€? he said. “Poor kids lose two or three months reading growth while middle-class kids gain about a month in the summer – some more than that. Poor kids don’t read in the summer because they don’t own any books. Parents don’t have any money to buy books and available libraries are less likely to be child friendly.â€? The solution, he said, is giving elementary school students 12-15 free books at the end of the school year. The most troubling part of this research, he said, was facing the little kids in the control group who didn’t get books and wanted to know why. “I had to tell them it was George Bush’s fault,â€? he said. (Note: This was a joke.) Three years of distributing summer books largely eliminated the summer reading gap for a fraction of the cost of establishing a charter school.

An architect’s architect HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin Labor Day, 1940. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had just begun his campaign for a third term. The President and his entourage were proceeding down Henley Street en route to Newfound Gap to dedicate the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As they passed the Church Street United Methodist Church, the president remarked, “That is the most beautiful church I have ever seen.” Built in 1930, the church was designed by Charles I. Barber (1887-1962) in cooperation with John Russell Pope of New York in Gothic Revival style to emulate the early Gothic style of Durham Cathedral. Barber’s genius for design was stimulated early when he spent many hours visiting his father’s Gay Street firm, probably the largest in the state at the time. In 1900, George F. Barber (1854-1915) employed 30 drafters and 20 secretaries as he sold about 1,000 mail-order house plans a month, an estimated 20,000 between 1888 and 1913. Almost 50 George Barber homes are listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in several states from New York to Washington. Charles Irving Barber was born on Oct. 25, 1887, in DeKalb, Ill. and his family moved to Knoxville the following year. Charles’ early education was completed at the Baker-Himel Preparatory School (1889-1913) on Highland Avenue near the University of Tennessee. Along with the sons of many of Knoxville’s most prominent families, he studied classic Latin and Greek as well as English and math. The school had such a stellar reputation that

students were admitted to UT, the University of Virginia, Harvard and Yale without further examination. He attended UT briefly but then spent three months in Europe in 1907, mainly in Italy. The voyage had a dual purpose, to expand his artistic senses and to send back drawings of significant architecture there. Charles visited the great museums, stayed in elegant hotels, dined at exclusive restaurants and explored Italian villas and formal gardens. He came home with an appreciation for classic architecture that is reflected in some of Knoxville’s most beautiful churches, public buildings, schools and homes. In 1909, Barber enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania and studied under the French-born architect Paul Cret, whose Beaux-Arts style would markedly influence Barber’s early work. In two years Barber received his Certificate of Proficiency in Architecture and returned to Knoxville to begin his first major work, the

During a brief partnership with Dean Parmelee, the son of his father’s one-time partner, Martin Parmelee, the First Christian Church (1914) was completed. Almost a century later, its presence just north of I-40’s downtown route gives it high visibility and tourists often comment on its classical beauty. It would be the first of some 50 churches Barber would design, including Knoxville’s Second Presbyterian, St. Luke’s Methodist, St. James Episcopal, Graystone Presbyterian, Church of the Ascension, Fountain City United Methodist, Gloria Dei Lutheran and Northside Christian churches. Benjamin McMurry and Charles Barber founded Barber and McMurry in 1915, a partnership that would last until McMurry’s passing in 1969. Barber concentrated on the artistic phases of the business and McMurry on the business itself. Charles’ cousin West Barber later joined the firm and became mainly responsible for interior design and working drawings. Much of the firm’s early work centered on houses built for affluent Knoxvillians on Kingston Pike and nearby. The homes of J. Allen Smith (1915), William Cary Ross (1921) and Alexander Bonnyman (1916) were among the first. One unique project was the totally redesigned 125room Whittle Springs Hotel and Resort (1917-18), built at a cost of $650,000. During the 1920s and 1930s, Barber and McMurry designed many additional homes, including those for Glen Craig (1926), Weston M.
The Barber Residence on Tazewell Pike. From 1926 to 1938, Charles and Marian L. Barber lived in this house in Fountain City. They then moved to Woodson Dr. off of Alcoa Highway. Photo courtesy of the C.M. McClung Historical Collection
Fulton (Westcliff, 1928) and H.M. Goforth (1928). Barber and McMurry homes showcased French and Italianate features, often with the indoors and the outdoors married by French doors opening onto terraces fronting formal gardens and pools. Unlike his father, who was decidedly flexible in his designs, Charles Barber was more likely to charm his clients into accepting his plans than he was to alter them. The firm also designed many of Knoxville’s most notable public buildings, including the showroom for the Candoro Marble Works (1923), the YMCA (1927), the Holston Hills Country Club (1927) and their lone high-rise, the 15-story General Building (1926) on Market Street, where they occupied an office for many years. Several buildings on UT’s “Hill” also show their distinctive style: Hoskins Library, Hesler Hall and Dabney Hall. With the advent of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1930s, Barber, sometimes working with other architects, performed some of his most innovative designs. Working with Roland Wank and Louis Grandgent, TVA’s Norris Housing Project was designed and built. He also designed the headquarters for the Great Smoky Moun-
tains National Park (1940) and several buildings on the Arrowmont Campus in Gatlinburg. Long an advocate for city planning, Barber was a member of the Knox County Planning Commission when it was organized in 1940 and remained a member until the Metropolitan Planning Commission was established in 1956. He was also an advocate for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and was active in the GSM Hiking Club with his brother, George F. Barber, Harvey Broome, Carlos Campbell, Guy Frizzell, Dutch Roth, Jim Thompson and others. Not long after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture, Charles Barber and Marian Lawrence were married. She passed away in 1950 and three years later he married a widow, the former Mrs. Blanche McKinney. From 1926 to 1938, the Lincolnesque, lanky, 6 foot, 4 inch architect could frequently be seen on the spacious lawn of his home on Tazewell Pike in the Beverly community with his trusty double-bladed axe pursuing a favorite hobby, clearing trees and brush. About 1938, the Barbers moved to their new home on Woodson Drive off Alcoa Highway, where they
had built a large stone house with a Barber trademark, i.e. a massive chimney conveying an air of permanence. Charles I. Barber had a severe heart attack in 1959 and suffered another two days before he passed away at UT Hospital on June 14, 1962. His services were held in Church Street United Methodist Church, his home church, which was built to his design many years before. He is interred in the family burial plat at Greenwood Cemetery near his beloved first home on Tazewell Pike. Following Charles Barber’s death, Barber and McMurry was reorganized under the leadership of Benjamin McMurry Jr. and in recent times under Robert Parrott and Charles V. Griffin. The firm continues to design many impressive projects, including the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center (1956), Rokeby Condominiums (1976), East Tennessee History Center (1985), John J. Duncan Federal Building (1988), the Knoxville Smokies Baseball Park (2000) and LeConte Medical Center (2010). It now goes by the name BarberMcMurry.

Does Tennessee football build character? Tennessee football will observe Parents’ Day on Saturday. Mothers, fathers, a few grandmothers and guardians of Volunteers are invited to a barbecue luncheon, a tour of facilities and a scrimmage at Neyland Stadium. The day may shape up much like a recruiting experience: See us. Like us. All join hands. A lot of coaches talk “football family.” I do believe Butch Jones believes it. Butch will undoubtedly provide perspective, telling guests that he is only the very serious caretaker of Tennessee football, responsible for almost everything, but that the game actually belongs to those more heavily invested, the team, old Vols and the thousands of fans who made it what it is. He may mention Tennessee tradition and being proud of the orange. Tra-
Marvin West
dition and pride are valid sales points. He is confident enough to admit that even the smartest coaches must have players to win. Because he is big on building relationships, Butch will praise the parents for producing stalwart young men, nurturing them and entrusting them to the University of Tennessee. He may repeat at least part of a previous speech: “We will be a champion in everything that we do. That’s not only on the field, but off the field. It starts in the classroom. It includes
graduating with a meaningful degree. It’s being a productive citizen, it’s being active in our community. “That’s what winning is about. I really believe that if you win off the field, you will win on the field. We will be a champion in all we do.” Or, perhaps he will recite the values emphasized in the invitation letter he sent parents: loyalty, commitment, family, honesty, accountability, focus and persistence. “These seven core values can guide your son throughout his entire life and enrich and reward his family life. Players, coaches and staff that live life the right way … and put forth great effort cannot be stopped short of success because they are too invested in making sure they cannot fail.” Jones’ mission of developing boys into men leads
me back to the very old question of whether football builds character or reveals it. The great Vince Lombardi once said football is a lot like real life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. Somebody else, maybe Tom Landry, said much of what he knew about morality and obligations came from football. You can certainly link the tough sport to discipline, the demand for extra effort and rewards for excellence. Football requires we be placed ahead of me. Trophies are modest pay for the proverbial blood, sweat and tears. Some stare down challenges and turn them into building blocks. Some might go as far as saying football provides the
opportunity to become a stronger and better person, even a leader. Those with a colder perspective insist football only reveals character. Winners go right on winning. Those with courage give all they have. Pressure ultimately exposes flaws. Losers get tired and too often fold when the outcome hangs in the balance. The late Darrell Royal put it this way: “Football doesn’t build character but it eliminates the weak ones.” Go another step: It occasionally identifies those who cheat to win. Of course football is imperfect. It looks the other way and permits success to grow into arrogance. Tennessee parents will see and hear what they want. They are counting on Tennessee football to help their sons become what they want to be and get where they want to go. Will it happen? What say you? Marvin West invites reader response.

Trust steadily, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. (I Corinthians 13: 12-13 The Message)
A clergy friend of mine is generous enough to share his sermons via e-mail with people who don’t get to hear him preach regularly. He is a fine, thought-provoking preacher, who stirs up questions and occasionally stands clear on the other side of the text and peers back through it until
his listeners can see what he sees: something altogether new. Much like my friend, “The Message” helps us hear (and see) things we may have missed before. I’m quite sure you know the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, frequently called the

For four years Vine Middle has received failing grades in math, reading and language arts on the Tennessee Department of Education Report Card. In late January, Superintendent Jim McIntyre met with about 150 parents, teachers, administrative staff, students, community members, and public officials to discuss the school’s future. Attendees’ comments included: A YWCA worker said more than half the children who participate in YWCA programs have one incarcerated parent. School becomes a lower priority. Historically the neighborhood has been treated as a problem. People there are trying to survive. Most parents can’t be home after school gets out. Children need afterschool programs. Police harass people in the neighborhood during the day and leave them unprotected at night. People want to feel safe and relaxed in their neighborhood, but police make them feel threatened. Children are transferred involuntarily to Vine for behavioral problems. A parent said her son was transferred to Vine from Northwest Middle because he had gotten into trouble at school. A teacher said she was overwhelmed because student needs were beyond her ability to help. School reconstitution has been approved.

Melodic Ministry Greg Wilson shares his faith through music By Ashley Baker Hundreds of children at Christian Academy of Knoxville see a joyful witness while they learn to play an instrument each year in Greg Wilson’s band class. For the last 33 years, music has been celebrated inside this dedicated teacher’s classroom. “His story is a real-life ‘Mr. Holland’s Opus,’” commented former student Mark Baker, who spent eight years in Wilson’s music classes. “He has given his life to instilling the love of music in his students. There would be no way to measure his impact.” Wilson’s influence stems from the love he has for his job. “It is not difficult to work in a job that you love,” Wilson said. “I guess I always just sort of thought I would be a musician as a career, because music was such a big part of my life growing up.” Wilson started piano lessons at age 5 and joined the school band in 6th grade at Eagleton Elementary School in Blount County, playing trumpet. “I love
hired as the first full-time music teacher at CAK, just two years after the school opened in 1978. “The Lord just opened up the opportunity to work at CAK,” Wilson said, “and I took it, because I just knew that was where He wanted me to be.” Wilson taught elementary classroom music, choir and band. Now that the school has grown, Wilson teaches band from grades 5 through 12 to around a hundred students each week. He also teaches music theory and helps with musical theater each spring, directing the orchestra. Not only has this dedicated teacher poured out his time and energy for students, but he has also Greg Wilson, who has been teaching at Christian Academy of Knoxville for 33 years, poses served as the director of music ministry at Pleasant with his wife, DiAnne Wilson.

He and his wife, DiAnne, often sing together at church and for weddings and funerals The couple, who will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary this summer, recorded their first bluegrass album together last fall.

Members of the Farragut Middle School Dance Team can truly say their visit to Walt Disney World made them feel like princesses … very hard-working princesses. The team brought home the United Dance Association’s National Championship in the junior high jazz division in early February and celebrated that prestigious honor at an awards banquet March 7. Coached by Adonia Adams, the team competed Feb. 1-2 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando. One of the team moms, Dena Reed, said the championship brings the best high school and junior high school dance teams from across the country to compete. The FMS team beat out 11 schools to bring home the trophy and banner. “They qualified to compete in the nationals by winning this summer at a UDA camp at the University of Ten-
nessee,” said Reed. “These girls practice all summer and on through the fall, winter and spring. It is wonderful to see all that work and training pay off.” The FMS team has competed five times in the national UDA championships. Helping celebrate their first national championship at the awards banquet were Farragut mayor Ralph McGill and aldermen Ron Honken and Bob Markli. Coach Adonia Adams has been with the FMS team for eight years and was a member of the team when she was a FMS student in 1998-2000. Faculty sponsor is Carolyn Westbrook.

That’s enough water to wash nearly ten months of laundry according to the super smart folks at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Clean water is our most important resource. Without it, we would all bite the dust! To promote water awareness, the EPA has designated March 18-24, 2013 as Fix a Leak Week. It’s time to replace those drippy faucets and runny toilets with EPA WaterSense labeled products. Good for the environment and your bank account. Here are some mind blowin’ facts from the EPA: • 70% of the earth’s surface is water; less than 1% is suitable for human use • Each American uses an average of 100 gallons of water a day • Toilets account for 30% of indoor residential water use • Over your lifetime, you’ll likely flush the toilet nearly 140,000 times • A leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallons of water a day • You can use up to 8 gallons of water while brushing your teeth • WaterSense products use 20-30% less water Even though WaterSense products— toilets, faucets and showerheads—use less water, you don’t sacrifice quality or water pressure. Manufacturers like Delta and American Standard have gone all techie and created products that use less water more efficiently. You won’t have to flush several times or be left with soapy hair! So, nip that drip 'cause every drop counts! Stop by Modern Supply, talk with our plumbing experts and take a look at some of the latest WaterSense labeled products. You’ll be WOW’d by the choices. 966.4567 BTW…tell ‘em Millie sent ya!

STEM experts needed? Group to talk to teachers By Suzanne Foree Neal Input from the community for improving the schools is getting to be a regular agenda item for the Farragut/Knox County Schools Joint Education Relations Committee. Recent topics have included getting more fathers involved as role models; creating a registry of professionals to speak to students; and the most recent: engaging scientists, engineers, mathematicians and technology professionals to help spark interest in those professions. At the meeting on March 5, Joe Carson, husband of school board chair Karen Carson, talked to the committee about getting these professionals into the classrooms. “I have issues with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics),” he began. Carson said there is no integrated system to get the experts involved, and he wants to fi x that. To do so, he said he needs help from organizations like the education committee. “We are like ships passing in the night,” he said. “There’s not much effort to integrate employees with members of the professional groups.” When it comes to experts in science, technology, en-
gineering and math in Farragut, Oak Ridge, Knox and Blount counties, Carson said the numbers are huge. His research showed there are 10,000 scientists in this area, 2,000 STEM educators and 100,000 students. He also said he was disappointed that more retirees haven’t stepped up to help the schools. Carson told the group he tried going through his church to spark an interest, but that fizzled as well. He wants to see employers support workers going into the classroom to better the chances of getting professionals to volunteer. The education committee has looked at how parents and professionals sign up to volunteer and said there are problems. After last month’s discussion, assistant town administrator Gary Palmer went to the Knox County School’s website for its L&M STEM Academy and checked every box, indicating he was willing to volunteer. He got no response. “It’s a great system, but no one is using it,” he said. Retired principal Julia Craze said there is no way for teachers to really connect with volunteers. Kay Wellons, principal at Farragut Intermediate School,

Around the table, from left, are, committee member Julia Craze; Carson; town staffers Valerie Millsapps and Gary Palmer; and committee members Michael Singletary, Mark Littleton and Nancy Wentz. Photo by Suzanne Foree Neal said her school finds most of its volunteers through Parent-Teacher Association membership. Craze said some years back she had a group of gifted fifth graders who were bored with the usual list of activities. She wanted to do a debate team but couldn’t find any information on debate for students that young. Contacts at the University of Tennessee told her they didn’t think students that young would understand
News from Office of Register of Deeds
Good gains in February By Sherry Witt After a positive beginning to 2013, Febr u a r y ’s numbers indicate more good news for the local real estate and lending Witt markets. For the month that ended Feb. 28, there were 639 property transfers in Knox County. Not only is that an improvement over January’s recordings, but it also represents 125 more transfers than the county pro-
duced in February of 2012. The aggregate value of land sold during the month was $105.4 million, also a marked improvement over last February when about $89 million worth of property was transferred. Mortgage lending also continued its upward trend. The month saw around $278.5 million loaned against real property in Knox County, compared to $233 million during the same period of 2012. There were two noteworthy commercial transactions recorded during February. One involved two tracts in West Knoxville, including the Fowler’s Build-
ing near I-40. The transfer of both tracts came in at $3.75 million. The other transfer was for the Golden Corral property at 6612 Clinton Highway, which sold for $1.93 million. It is not certain what the remainder of 2013 will bring for the real estate market; however, January and February have definitely provided encouraging data. There were about 1,000 more total documents recorded by the Register’s office this February than in February of 2012. If trends hold true, March could bring another surge as the warmer weather of spring helps stimulate activity.

Preserving the Tennessee Theatre By Pam Fansler In honor of the Tennessee Theatre’s 85th anniversary, the Historic Ten ne s see Theatre Foundation has launched Fansler a sustainability campaign to ensure the maintenance and preservation of the historic building in perpetuity without additional annual fundraising. Located in the heart of downtown Knoxville, the Tennessee Theatre opened in 1928 as a movie palace. The Tennessee Theatre is the Official State Theatre of Tennessee and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Knoxville community raised more than $25 million to restore the theatre, transforming it from a rundown movie house into a state-of-the-art performing arts center.
Today, the Tennessee Theatre is the region’s leading performing arts center with advanced technology, staging and lighting that draws top entertainment. Since the restoration’s completion in 2005, the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation has been tasked with ensuring the theatre remains in pristine condition and a vibrant, world-class entertainment venue. This year, the theatre celebrates its 85th anniversary and marks its one millionth visitor to the theatre since the restoration. These one million guests in the Tennessee Theatre have also patronized downtown restaurants and shops before and after the performances. With this significant economic impact, the Tennessee Theatre has led the way for the resurgence of downtown Knoxville. The sustainability campaign has two main goals: to ensure high-quality, stimulating arts and cul-
tural programming remains at the theater, and to maintain the beautiful, historic theater building for generations to come. The sustainability fund will ensure the theater has sufficient funds for operation of its annual arts enrichment programs and for updates and emergency repairs. Stars on Stage, a recent fundraiser presented by the Foundation, featured comedy legend Bob Newhart, who delivered a stellar performance to a packed house. Proceeds from this year’s Stars on Stage will go toward the sustainability campaign goal of $5 million, nearly $4 million of which was raised before the event. The Tennessee Theatre belongs to all of us. Our support of it will ensure that the performing arts and cultural programming will have a place in the heart of downtown Knoxville for years to come. Pam Fansler is president, East Region, for First Tennessee Bank.

debate concepts. Craze eventually set up a program, and said she was astonished by the debate quality and issues the students tackled. Chair Mark Littleton got a request from a 2nd-grade teacher trying to find ways to teach the concept of energy and “was struggling,” he said. In 15 minutes, he found concepts that the teacher understood and that could work for her students. He
said she was thrilled to have his help. Several members noted that one problem teachers cite is the strict requirements by the state to get through a specified curriculum, making time for outside study difficult during the school day. Nancy Wentz, a substitute teacher, said teachers already have enough afterschool involvement and taking on more is not likely. Michael Singletary sug-
gested committee members poll teachers at their assigned schools to see where they need help. Carson said he would like to see money available to pay teachers who take on enrichment activities in the sciences and mathematics after school or on weekends. Committee members agreed to share their findings at the next meeting, which will be at 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at Farragut Town Hall.

Paideia Academy board members, faculty and families gathered for the annual banquet and auction at the Foundry in downtown Knoxville. This year’s theme was “A Night of the Arts.” “It takes a lot of volunteers to make this magic happen,” said event coordinator Tisha Clapp. She thanked “the faithful banquet committee” and a host of volunteers who helped make the event possible. She also gave special recognition and thanks to the presenting sponsors: Dana and Paul Froula, Dr. Brian E. Braxton of Parkwest Medical Center, Case Antiques and banquet chair Kayla Franse. The evening started off with a reception and silent auction. Musician Helen Bryenton played the violin. The reception area was decorated with various fine art masterpieces that had been replicated by Paideia students for patrons to buy. Other auction items consisted of a variety of donated gift baskets, gift cards and memberships from area businesses. The dinner buffet included prime rib, chicken, salmon, roasted potatoes, mixed vegetables, spinach maria, rolls and chocolate and red velvet cakes. After dinner, headmaster James Cowart was the auctioneer in an exciting live auction. There were 33 select items up for bid, including special projects by each class. Unique class projects included a hand-painted serving platter, a handmade quilt, cornhole boards and a prayer kneeler. The biggest ticket item of the night was a surprise – the 2nd grade class basket of “Five Nights of Dinner, Dessert and Movies” edged out the usual top spots of a week in Destin, Fla., a large golf package and UT football sky box seats.

Paideia Academy teachers Lea Kelly, Rachel Pope and Kelly Platillero have some fun in the photo booth. Photo by John Sadler III “It must have been the Krispy Kreme doughnuts,” said Cowart. After the live auction, presentations were given by Paideia parents Chris Meystrik and Larry Bodie, and by parent and teacher Lea Kelly. Meystrik and Bodie talked about their families’ experiences in coming to the school, what the school has meant to them, and why they consider supporting the school to be important. Kelly spoke about her journey in being called to teach at Paideia and about her trip to last year’s Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS) annual conference.
A drawing was held to give away a package to attend this summer’s ACCS conference. Paideia parents Robin and Mark Dew won that giveaway. The evening ended with closing announcements and benediction. “A Night of the Arts” raised nearly $30,000 for Paideia Academy’s Annual Fund, which supports need-based tuition assistance and helps the school expand its array of programs, services, and learning opportunities. Paideia Academy is located in West Knoxville at 10825 Yarnell Road off Lovell Road at Pellissippi Parkway.

Nursing leadership class seeks to develop thinkers A unique partnership designed to groom leaders in the fast-changing world of healthcare took its first official steps recently as Covenant Health officially welcomed 15 candidates to the new Covenant Nursing Leadership Series. A year in the making, the series is an intense, 18-day leadership development program spread over nine months and created specifically for Covenant Health by an unusual partnership between the University of Tennessee’s College of Business Administration and College of Nursing. The program is the first of its kind in East Tennessee and represents a major investment by Covenant in developing world-class nursing leadership. Throughout the next several months, 15 leaders, who range from unit managers to chief nursing officers, will undertake a myriad of leadership topics, such as strategic planning, financial management, leading change and others. Each participant will also research and present a strategic project related to Covenant’s future success as identified by Covenant’s Executive Leadership Team. “If we are going to be successful in a world that is ever changing, adapting to different things, we’re going to have to have thinkers throughout this organization,” Jim VanderSteeg, Covenant’s executive vice president of hospital operations, told the participants. “We’re going to have to have people who
The first Covenant Nursing Leadership Series class was welcomed during a recent kickoff luncheon at Covenant Health’s Corporate Office at Fort Sanders West. Participants and team leaders include (seated, from left): Teresa Gomez, chief nursing officer, Fort Loudoun Medical Center; Crystal Barnett, director of nursing, Roane Medical Center; Heather Jett, nurse manager of cardio/ pulmonary/renal unit, Parkwest Medical Center; Liz Clary, director of patient care services, Peninsula Behavioral Health; Suzanne Miller, nurse manager of cardiac unit, Parkwest Medical Center; and Stephanie Nichols, director of clinical effectiveness, Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare; standing, from left: Dr. Victoria Niederhauser, dean of the University of Tennessee College of Nursing; Donna Hamby, director of surgical services, Methodist Medical Center; Carolyn Shipley, director of acute care services, Methodist Medical Center; Trish Chaloux, director of patient care services/surgical division, Parkwest Medical Center; Lori Myers, chief nursing officer, LeConte Medical Center; Teresa Fugate, vice president of case management, Covenant Health; Ann Henderlight, vice president and chief nursing officer, Thompson Cancer Survival Center; Lynn Cagle, director of patient care services, Parkwest Medical Center; Jill Strevel, nurse manager of Cath Lab, Parkwest Medical Center; and Dr. Kate Atchley, Center for Executive Education at the University of Tennessee’s College of Business Administration. Not pictured is Dee Dee Whitaker, vice president and chief nursing officer, Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare. are curious; we’re going to have to have people who are creative. So, if you go through this process and you learn some technical skills, we’ve failed – we ought to just take a half a day, come together, get on a chalkboard or whatever and teach
you some technical skills. The goal of this program is to help you challenge yourself and look at yourself and say, ‘How do I become a better leader in a world that is very different?’ ” “It’s a compliment to you,” Jan-
ice McKinley, senior vice president and chief nursing officer for Covenant Health System, said of the candidates’ selection. “You still have to do your day job, but this additional work is a just a learning continuation at a level
you probably haven’t seen in your lifetime.” Dr. Kate Atchley, a director in UT’s Center for Executive Education at the College of Business Administration, echoed McKinley’s assessment of the program’s intensity. “I sense that there is a lot of energy in this room, and I suspect that there is a lot of anxiety in the room as well. And I think that anxiety is well-placed – this is going to be a lot of work,” she said. “You are going to be asked to press yourself out of your comfort zone, and we’re here to help you to become the most effective leader you can be. It can be a little scary for people, a little intimidating to people. But you have a rare opportunity to figure out the type of leader you want to be.” Dr. Victoria Niederhauser, dean of UT’s College of Nursing, likened the series to her own recent move from Hawaii to Knoxville as a journey. “Part of this will be about reflecting back on your journey and how you will get from where you are now and the intentional journey that you need to take to continue to build your leadership,” she said. “It is a journey,” she added. “It’s an intentional journey and it never really stops because everything is changing, people around you are changing, your environment is changing. We’ll talk about taking risks, stepping out there and not being afraid to fail.”

She is currently enrolled at Oakwood University. “She is a songbird,” said Hendricks. Alyce sang hymns and visited with the folks who live at the facility. She has been singing since she was 2 years old. A video of her performing can be seen on YouTube by searching for “Alyce You Don’t Have to Worry.”
