By Nancy Anderson There just wasn’t any cooler place to be on May 31 than Karns.

The temperature topped out at 87, and it was sweltering, but all was cool in every way at Karns’ Historic Cherokee Caverns, 8524 Oak Ridge Highway.

The cave, which is run by volunteers and maintained through events and public openings, is open only three or four times a year, so each event is special. The

May 31 event was an Old-Fashioned Lantern Tour, with volunteers leading guests through the cool cave from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The lantern light cast an eerie glow on the wonders found in the cave. Visitors were assisted by the illuminating lights along the pathways and an upgraded tour path made it accessible for those in wheelchairs or strollers.

Other than it being just “really cool” to visit the depths of the

cave and see the fascinating rock formations, crevasses, stalactites and stalagmites, the cavern is always a steady 58 degrees, making the tour a nice respite from the outside heat. Those not signed up to receive the Historic Cherokee Caverns newsletter often miss the tours.

Daryl Gunter was surfing the Internet, looking for something to do, when he found out about the one-day-only tour. He brought his

son and daughter to see the sights.

“We were online looking for something to do with the kids today and found the caverns were open. It’s pretty cool, and neither of the kids had been in a cave before,” said Gunter.

The next planned event is during the Halloween season. To sign up for the newsletter, email info@ cherokeecaverns.com and type “Sign up for Newsletter” in the subject line.

By Sherri Gardner Howell Pam Williams and her team at the Davis Family Y on Northshore Drive have taken an initial investment of just over $1,000, plus staff time, and grown it into a model for community gardens across the nation.

Williams, executive director for the Y at Jefferson Park, and master gardener Ellen Morar were praised for their vision and hard work last week at a garden party.

The party also came with a big check. The Walmart Foundation awarded the community garden efforts with a $38,000 grant. The funds will be used to expand the current garden and start others at Ys in the community.

The model community giving garden has many layers, with education, community service and health improvement all woven into the concept.

“The garden gives away everything grown to FISH Food Pantry, Manna House and other organizations that feed the hungry in Knoxville,”

says Jim Dickson, president and CEO of the Y. “They teach others the value of fresh food and how to grow their own.”

Morar says this is the second full year of yield from the garden.

“We grow a little bit of everything and try to keep a balance,” she says, pointing out tomato, lettuce, peppers, basil, cucumber, beans, peas, onions, beets, broccoli and strawberry plants.

The chicken coop provides fresh eggs, about six to eight each day.

In addition, the garden, which was already using some hydroponics with the vegetables, is now experimenting with aquaponics and includes a basin filled with tiny tilapia.

“The fish fertilize the hydroponic plants where the organic fruits and vegetables are grown,” says John Bublitz, who assists the Y with the hydro- and aquaponics.

“We will have to figure out how to actually donate the fish as they grow because nothing can be killed here. They would have to go to

a facility that is licensed to accept live or iced fish – like maybe Love Kitchen.”

Williams says the community garden is a perfect fit for the Y because it touches so many of the organization’s programs and philosophies. “This is an example of moving from intervention to prevention in regard to good health and community impact,” says Williams.

“Each year, thousands of our children and those in childcare programs at other agencies are taught how to grow, harvest and prepare healthy fruits and vegetables. They begin to understand the difference and see where fresh food comes from. We are also able to help feed people who are hungry, and we are very serious about getting our produce to where it is needed.”

So serious, in fact, that the strawberries for the dessert served at the garden party had to be purchased. “The kale is out of the garden here,” says Williams, “but we purchased the strawberries. We had just donated our latest crop to Manna House.”

The new and improved Sail-Away Candles specializes in soy candles.

Sweet Smell of success Joseph Qualls isn’t from Karns, but he got here as quickly as he could, bringing with him a particular talent for making soy candles.

Nancy Anderson

Qualls’ shop, Sail-Away Candles, caught the wind and outgrew its former location. The business owner celebrated the move to 7544 Oak Ridge Highway with a grand opening. The shop is nestled in the shopping center with neighbors like the U.S. Post Office, The Mane Thing, Pampered Paws and Dollar General, so Qualls is excited about the move.

For the reopening, a steady stream of shoppers found its way to the store.

Festivities included door prizes, bluegrass music and a barbecue lunch provided by the Shriners.

Qualls has expanded his business to include the Antiques Outlet & Collectibles, which is connected to the candle shop. The new addition is filled as far as the eye

can see with a wide variety of unique items, some provided by local artisans. “The shop is growing so fast I’m excited to see where it goes,� says Qualls. “We’ve got excellent vendors and craftsmen who bring new stuff all the time. I literally have new inventory almost daily.�

The candles and tarts used in melting pots are 100 percent soy and handpoured in the shop. You are likely to find Qualls’ daughter, Amity Brown, and mother, Linda Qualls, in the shop as well. Qualls can even customize a fragrance specifically for a customer.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the shop is also home to Terri’s Photography, with Terri Blair offering her photographic services. â–

Much ado about something

Members of the Tennessee Stage Company introduced Shakespeare’s play “Much Ado About Nothing� to elementary-school-age kids at the Karns Branch of the Knox County Public Library on Tuesday, June 3.

The “Fun with Shakespeare� summer series is designed to reach out to

elementary-school kids who aren’t familiar with Shakespeare and show them how exciting the stories are.

Julianna Sanderson, Steve Trigg and Jennifer Horn are traveling to nine different Knox County libraries to do the program.

They use puppets and humorously exaggerated expressions to act out the characters and story lines in a fun way the kids understand. “Children are amazingly able to adjust to the Shakespeare language in about 20 minutes because they are used to hearing new vocabulary all the time,� says Horn. “Their ears can often adjust faster than a lot of the adults.

If kids go in knowing a little about the characters and what the story is about, the play is easier to understand and more enjoyable.�

Horn, who holds a Ph.D. in Shakespeare studies and once interned in the education department at the famous Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, says she uses her love of Shakespeare to fill the gaps in arts education sometimes created by the emphasis on testing in public schools. “We want to show them how much fun Shakespeare can be, how much fun the-

News from Pellissippi State

Hard work pays off for Rhonda Lee I work to make sure that no one is overlooked, that they always have adequate representation.�

Lee understands falling through the cracks. While she was working full time in Knoxville and commuting to Nashville for law school, she was diagnosed with cancer.

She didn’t have health insurance at the time, and she struggled to find treatment. “So I figured I would just go to school until I died,�

Lee said. “But I thought that if I was going to die, I would go out doing what I had always dreamed of. “My goal was to get through one more set of classes, and that got me up every day. That got me across the stage at graduation and through the bar exam. Now I have my own law firm, and it’s a dream come true.�

She plans to return to Pellissippi State as an adjunct faculty member teaching law classes in the fall.

After graduating from Pellissippi State, Lee attended UT-Knoxville and UT-Chattanooga, completing her bachelor’s degree in legal studies in 2006. She capped off nearly a decade of studies when she earned her Juris Doctor from Nashville School of Law in 2012 – and she put nearly 130,000 miles on her vehicle in the process.

Lee now specializes in criminal defense but also practices family and general law.

Her particular interest is in serving marginalized and indigent clients. “I have a passion to make a difference in people’s lives. Our constitutional rights are the greatest rights we have, and being in law is a way of making sure that people’s liberties are protected. I see that every day. “There can be a lot of injustice in the justice system, because people don’t always have representation.

government Let candidates respond and engage It is less than 60 days to the Aug. 7 statewide general election for judges. You can vote for retention or replacement of three state Supreme Court justices (Cornelia Clark, Sharon Lee and Gary Wade, all Democrats) as well as numerous appellate judges.

Victor Ashe

Republican Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey has openly and strongly argued for a replacement vote in part to secure that a Republican be chosen as state Attorney General.

Tennessee is the only state to require its Supreme Court to elect the Attorney General every eight years. All other states have either a direct popular election or gubernatorial appointment.

Ramsey has been criticized for seeking the replacement of these judges on the grounds it politicizes the court and undermines judicial independence. Others have argued the current retention-replacement system is not a real election in contrast to two or more candidates opposing each other.

However, this system has been ruled valid by the special state Supreme Court.

Since it is held to be the equivalent of an election, then robust public debate on a variety of issues is fair and the justices ought to be able to respond and engage.

Of the three justices running, Wade has the most political experience, having also served 10 years as mayor of Sevierville. He is waging an active campaign to make sure he is retained.

Wade is very astute and is popular among many East Tennessee Republicans such as Rep. Jimmy Duncan and former Rep. Bill Jenkins.

Gov. Haslam has declined to take sides but has voiced a personal like for the incumbents. His father attended a reception for Wade.

Setting aside the merits of Ramsey’s views, he certainly has the right to advocate change for whatever reason he puts forth. Likewise, he opens himself up to vigorous rebuttals. It is up to the voters to determine the merit of his arguments.

Ramsey has placed a spotlight on contests that are normally under the political radar. That has made many uncomfortable.

Penny White is the only justice to be denied a term.

She is now a professor at UT College of Law. As long as the state constitution mandates that the court must pick the state AG, it will place justices seeking another term in the crossfire on this issue. It cannot be avoided. Those who dislike this situation should work to change the constitution to remove the court from choosing the AG. That requires a constitutional amendment, which the voters must approve.

This writer has long believed the selection should be direct popular election just as local DAs are elected.

I sponsored legislation to achieve that from 1968 to 1984, but it did not pass. If that is not politically feasible, the governor should appoint them subject to legislative confirmation for a four-year term. But the court should not be in the business of choosing the state AG. The AG is a policymaking position and plays an important role in state government. The voters deserve a place in choosing the AG. No woman, African-American or Republican has ever been the AG under the present system, and there are qualified persons in all categories.

If any justice is replaced in August, then Gov. Haslam will choose the new justice.

■ Eddie Smith, Republican candidate for state representative, opposed by Jason Emert in the August GOP primary, has picked up important support from state Rep. Bill Dunn, chair of the House Calendar Committee, who served on Smith’s host committee for a fundraiser June 3.

Also on the host committee were Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones, GOP County Commission nominee Ed Brantley (who is unopposed in the August election), County Commissioner R. Larry Smith and former County Commissioner, city school board member and City Council member Ivan Harmon.

The winner of the SmithEmert contest will face Democratic incumbent state Rep. Gloria Johnson, seeking her second term in November. It will be an uphill battle to overtake Johnson, but the state GOP will make a strong effort to unseat her. She has Team Rogero on her side.

■ Knoxville lost a wonderful leader with the passing of Dr. Robert Harvey on May 27. He was a champion of Knoxville College and was always there to assist in its most troubled days. He gave back to the community on a consistent basis.

Legislators force budget-busting charter schools On a night when the school board was confronted with the real-life pain of budget cuts, it nevertheless approved Emerald Youth Academy’s charter school application by a 7-1 vote (board member Gloria Deathridge was absent), a move that will drain Knox County Schools’ coffers of nearly $5 million a year once the school is fully operational.

Betty Bean Several board members made it clear that they were doing it only because state law is forcing them to. Even Karen Carson, the sole no vote, deplored the legislature’s interference.

Everyone was careful to pay homage to the work Emerald Youth Foundation and its executive director, Steve Diggs, have done with the city’s children over the past two-plus decades, but the bottom line was this vote would have been dif-

ferent if state legislators had not made it almost impossible for local governments to turn down applications from privately operated, publicly funded nonprofit charter schools.

Several summoned the specter of what happened to Metro Nashville Public Schools when its board voted not to approve a proposal for a charter school in West Nashville last year – state education commissioner Kevin Huffman withheld $3.4 million as punishment.

The school, Great Hearts Academy, was a pet project of House Speaker Beth Harwell and Nashville Mayor Karl Dean and was nixed by the Nashville school board because of questions about diversity and access for all students.

Its demise stiffened the resolve of pro-charter school forces to use their growing clout on the state level to send a message down to local school districts.

Fear the budget ax: message received in Knox County, one of five counties included in the bill (along with

Davidson, Shelby, Hamilton and Hardeman).

The Senate passed the charter school authorizer by just three votes. Knox County’s senators split, with Stacey Campfield voting yes and Becky Massey voting no.

The House vote was more lopsided, and purely partisan, 61-28. Knox County’s Republicans (all alleged opponents of imposing unfunded mandates on local governments) – Harry Brooks, Ryan Haynes, Bill Dunn and Roger Kane voted yes. Democrats Gloria Johnson and Joe Armstrong voted no.

The bill gives charter schools whose applications are rejected by the local educational authority (LEA), the right to appeal to the state school board, which will then approve or deny. The well-founded presumption is that approval will be almost automatic for most proposals, and power to oversee these charter schools would then be transferred to the state.

The bill, which became

Public Chapter 850, says, in part, “Funding for charter schools authorized by the state board will be in accordance with present law, except that the LEA in which the charter school operates will pay to the department 100 percent of the per student share of local funding and 100 percent of any federal funding in the custody of the LEA that is due to the charter school.”

This law will inevitably lead to a flood of budgetbusting charter-school applications that local governments will be powerless to deny.

One administrator said that money for the Emerald school will be taken directly from the school where Emerald’s students were zoned.

“The money follows the children.”

Our legislative delegation can’t jigger the BEP formula to get Knox County its fair share, but they’re leading the charge for public-funded private schools. We must hold them accountable for the schools and kids who are left behind.

Fee office oversight is overdue “I like to pay taxes,” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. once said. “With them I buy civilization.”

If Holmes were alive and residing in Knox County, his taxes could also buy arrogance and ineptitude.

Peering myopically past a mountain of evidence that gross incompetence plagues her office, Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey recently granted across-theboard staff raises as high as 16 percent.

Her “hard-working” employees deserved “a lot more than they got,” McCroskey said.

We’re relieved they didn’t work harder; half the county might be wrongfully jailed had they put their noses to the grindstone.

Mike Hammond, who will replace McCroskey this fall, says he will rescind the raises, so McCroskey’s in-your-face gesture only served to train the spotlight more intensely on the fee offices and the outdated salary suit system under which they operate. It also resurrected the larger question of overall accountability in those offices.

If some view Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s decision to hold the line on pay for general government workers as miserly, McCroskey’s action reminds us of all that can go wrong when officeholders are responsible to no one but themselves.

It’s worth considering that McCroskey might have become unhinged on the matter of pay raises three years ago without a replacement waiting in the wings to quash the insanity. Her only impediments were public opinion and the amount of fees collected by the office.

Booster shot for John Bruhin

Patience, please. John Bruhin is facing a long walk, and it may take an extra minute. He is on his way back into the spotlight for one big night this summer. On July 24, he will be inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame.

Bruhin, 49, has been “training” for a while. He is 70 pounds down from 420 and trying to get closer to playing weight. He has one new knee and needs another but can get along with a trusty cane.

John played football at Powell High, Tennessee and Tampa Bay. The adventure came with a price. There are scars. He struggles to get up from a chair.

So, tell us, John Bruhin, if you could go back to the

beginning …

“I’d do it all over again.”

Going back would mean downtown Powell, barefoot walks down the hill to Groner’s Store, being poor without really realizing it.

“Ray McCloud, a neighbor and friend, was my first source of football information. We’d talk about Tennessee. He had known General Neyland and a lot of other famous names. He knew about tradition. He gave me tickets a few times

when he didn’t want to go to games.

“That’s how I got to see Ernie and Bernie (Grunfeld and King) in basketball.”

Other friends were vital.

“Fred Sisk had been to a baseball academy. He knew a lot. He taught me how to lift weights and properly stretch. He also taught me how to write papers for school.”

Fred’s dad, Governor Sisk, owned a gas station on Clinton Highway. He saw potential in young Bruhin.

“When I’d be below zero, he would give me an occasional $20. He may have never known how much that meant.”

Some said playing at Tennessee was an impossible dream but John thought maybe, perhaps, possibly he

could make it. He tried to make a deal with his dad.

“My father had a drinking problem. I asked if he’d stop drinking if I made the team.”

Half happened. John earned a scholarship. He made the starting lineup in 1985 as a sophomore guard.

“That is my best memory of football, my first significant playing time. The team was really a team.

We had Tony (Robinson), but we didn’t have a lot of superstars. We didn’t have a lot of anything except heart.

“Eight of us used the same sports coat to have our pictures taken for the brochure. Seven of us didn’t have one.”

Phillip Fulmer was Ten-

But, the Bucs drafted him in the fourth round. He won a starting job. He made some money. If the knees had lasted longer …

The years since have not been the proverbial rose garden. John has had ups and downs, health problems, even heartbreak.

He has decided God must have a plan, maybe that he should offer to others lessons learned, wisdom gained.

nessee’s line coach. He vividly remembers three seasons with Bruhin.

“He was such an outstanding talent. He was really a great player, unusually athletic and fast for his size. He may have had the most talent of anyone I had coached up to that time.

“John needed guidance.

There were days when it was a hug and a kick on the rear.

I had to be tough at times.

He almost quit. I remember him going to Georgia to check on some hunting dogs. We had to go get him.

“There probably were days when he didn’t like me, but I didn’t burn the bridge. I think we are best friends.”

It was Fulmer who first said John had NFL potential. Bruhin didn’t believe it.

Baptist Convention, trustee of CarsonNewman College, trustee of East Tennessee Baptist Hospital and member of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. He was awarded his honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree by Carson-Newman College in 1953.

Charles S. Bond and Mary Briggs Lambert, also a Carson-Newman graduate, were married in her hometown of Lewisburg (Marshall County), Tenn. on Dec. 29, 1942. They would become the parents of four children: Charles Stephen Jr., Mary Rachel Conniff, Miriam A. Tate and Joseph Lambert.

Having experienced congestive heart problems for several years, Dr. Bond passed away on March 31, 1982. After services at Central Baptist, conducted by Dr. Calvin S. Metcalf, Dr. Bond was interred in the Lone Oak Cemetery in Lewisburg.

Originally organized as the Bright Hope Baptist Church on Oct. 28, 1914, when 33

charter members met at the Bright Hope Masonic Hall, the name was changed to Central Baptist Church of Fountain City in July 1915. In that same month the church purchased property on North Broadway, soon began construction and occupied its new building on Oct. 3, 1915.

The second building program resulted in the dedication of a larger sanctuary on Aug. 13, 1924. The large educational annex was added in 1940. While the first two buildings had faced Broadway, ground was broken for a much larger sanctuary facing Lynnwood in March 1949 and the dedication held on June 11, 1950. The Family Life Center was added in 1984, and the present sanctuary was refurbished in 1997-98.

Central Baptist Church of Fountain City will be celebrating its 100th anniversary on Sunday, Oct. 26, and will be looking forward to another century of service to the community.

She’ll be swinging for Joy!

Becky Brody Chaffee with some of her “violettes” – purses made in the shape of musical instruments Photo by Marjorie Jones

Becky k Brody d Ch Chaffee ff received civil engineering degrees from UC Berkley and Cornell University, but her passion is music.

She moved to Knoxville and reared her two kids here. They “were clearly very bright and needed something to supplement their education,” Chaffee says. So she enrolled them both in Suzuki music lessons – her daughter on violin and her son on piano.

Chaffee herself is a flutist, but as her kids progressed in their lessons, she found herself falling more and more in love with the violin.

The active mom put in many hours doing volunteer work in the school system, and as both of her children grew older and started driving, she found that she had time to sew. “I am quite the gift-giver,” she says, “and I sewed eight purses as gifts within two years.”

Meanwhile, her fascination with the violin grew.

She wanted to learn to play the instrument and for a time studied it alongside her daughter. Carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists put an end to that.

But the talented crafter wasn’t done with the fiddle yet.

“I was in a craft store and saw a button that looked

Eventually she set up a website to sell her wares and christened the business “Violettes by Becky.” And she found herself trying to do even more for the young musical community.

In the spring of this year, she spearheaded the first annual Music Composition Competition for Youth, with a challenge to school-age kids to write a song, with or without words, titled “Being Me Now.” Entries came from all over the United States and Canada. A panel of distinguished judges declared winners from California, Illinois, New York and Maryland, with a cash prize for the first-place winner,

One of those judges was the conductor of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Lucas Richman, who will serve his final year with the KSO during the 2014-2015 season.

“I am always interested in doing whatever I can to help foster and guide creativity from our younger generations,” says Richman. “The mentorship that I received in my own formative years has always stayed with me and, if the competition entries were any indication of the talent being mentored today around the country, I would say that we will have some very bright spots arising on the musical horizon!”

Next year, Chaffee plans to pair mentors with students through Skype, the audiovisual Internet communication service. She’s tireless in her advocacy for young musicians. And she’s got a very big event planned soon.

On Saturday, June 21, Violettes by Becky, in partnership with Target Golf Driving Range in Powell, will host a “Swing for Joy” fundraiser for the Joy of Music School. The widely known Knoxville nonprofit provides music lessons and instruments for children who can’t afford them.

Lessons in growing

By Nancy Anderson In the age of mega Vacation Bible Schools, Justin Morton wanted to scale things back a bit. The youth and family minister at Karns Church of Christ is in the fourth year of offering Bible Day Camp at the church, which attracts from 15 to 30 kids. The camp, for children in grades kindergarten through fifth grade, has plenty of fun activities for the attendees, but is more

concentrated for some indepth learning, says Morton.

The week-long camp is held at the church for five hours each day. This year’s theme enticed the children to be “Planted, Grow Up in the Lord.” The lessons and activities all centered on growing up in a Godly way.

A daily Bible lesson was followed by songs, crafts, games and other activities planned around the theme.

Charity’s dark side

By Wendy Smith Beyond Borders senior program officer Coleen Hedglin learned a lesson about charity from a bear family in Cades Cove. After leaving her vehicle to photograph the bears, she was horrified to learn that bears that interact with humans, who often offer them food, are euthanized. Once they associate humans with food, they are considered dangerous, she said.

“It was a sobering reminder that the consequences of our actions are often very different from what was intended.”

Hedglin, who spent 16 years in Haiti, was in Knoxville last week, along with four native Haitians. The Beyond Borders representatives

Beyond Borders representative Guyto Desrosiers describes situations in Haiti where charity did more harm than good during The Price of “Bad Charity” at the Cokesbury Center. Beyond Borders empowers Haitians to liberate themselves from oppression.

Teen volunteer Rachel Cox demonstrates her juggling talent by keeping two balls and a very light balloon in the air.

At the end of the week, children took home a plant they had cultivated to remind them to “grow in the Lord.”

Morton has seen some of the kids come back each year. “As they are growing up, they are becoming leaders themselves,” he says.

“When the kids first show up, they’re shy and quiet, hanging on to mom’s leg for dear life. By the end of the week when mom shows up, they don’t want to go home.

One really shy youngster went home and asked mom, ‘Why can’t we have day camp all summer?’”

For the teens, it’s a chance to be a counselor and work with younger children. “They help coordinate games, lead songs and do skits for the kids. It’s an opportunity for the teens to learn responsibility and leadership.”

In the end, Morton says the camp shows children that learning the lessons

spoke at the third session of the Rescuing Charity series, The Price of “Bad Charity.”

There are 10,000 NGOs (non-governmental organizations) currently working in Haiti, and many are Christian organizations. Like the tourists with the bears, their efforts can be detrimental rather than helpful.

The visitors were asked to share their perspectives on foreigners who come to “help.” Hedglin said it would be counter-cultural for Haitians to criticize, but as each took the microphone at the Cokesbury Center, they were happy to comply.

Through an interpreter, Manasse Rosemond said that foreigners think they can solve all of Haiti’s problems, so they get together in groups without understanding what’s needed.

“Everything they do, they

fail,” said Rosemond.

Foreigners think that Haitians aren’t capable of accomplishing anything for themselves, said Roberts “Mike” McJirony Leblanc.

“It seems like foreigners thinks Haitians have no knowledge, so they have to bring knowledge to us.”

Haiti’s history is “full of trouble” and continues to have an economic and emotional impact on its citizens, said Guyto Desrosiers. After three centuries of colonial rule by France and Spain, Haitians continue to see foreigners as an imperial force coming to dictate what they do.

Colonization resulted in subsequent generations being born with a “slave mentality,” Leblanc said.

That mentality leads to people thinking that it’s normal to sit back and wait for

Mynatt

Well, it turns out Chicken Little was right: The sky is falling. Little by little, one piece at a time.

I recently stood on a viewer’s platform overlooking the great Meteor Crater 40 miles east of Flagstaff, Ariz. The hole at my feet was, well, as the kids so blithely say about many things, awesome.

With the force of a multimegaton bomb, a speeding (estimated speed: 26,000 mph) nickel-iron meteorite crashed to Earth nearly 50,000 years ago. Splashing more than 175 million tons of rock outward, the resulting crater is 4,150 feet in diameter, 550 feet deep and 2.4 miles in circumference.

This hole was there for 40,000 years before any human saw it, and then it would have been the Anasazi (“the old ones”) who found it. They could not possibly have imagined what caused that hole in the Earth.

In fact, it was only in 1903 that a man looked at the crater and realized what it was.

Daniel Barringer searched for years for a large meteorite to explain the existing crater, but impact physics was not well understood at the time, so he did not realize that most of the matter would have vaporized on impact.

Scientists today are also pretty well convinced that a meteor of significant pro-

portions struck the Earth hollowing out a crater that formed the Gulf of Mexico.

Some theorize that event threw enough dust and debris into the atmosphere to cause a long “nuclear” winter that killed the dinosaurs.

So it is true that the sky is falling. It is also true that there is not one thing we can do about it. Carrying an umbrella might make you feel better about the situation, but I can’t say that it will help much.

Therefore, then, what to do? Worry? Stay home? Hide in a cave? (Then, of course, you have bat problems!)

I remember one night when I was about 7, when a gathering storm was becoming truly scary. Mother insisted we go to the basement for safety. Daddy was reluctant but finally agreed (mostly to satisfy Mother, I am convinced). The next time a storm came up at night, Daddy refused to move from his bed.

“If it is my time, it is my time,” he said, philosophically.

Not a bad way to live your life, especially when it is raining rocks.

taught in the Bible not only helps you in your daily life, but can be fun. “You’re never too young to realize that

we are all in this together and other people can have the same goals in life that you do,” says Morton.

someone to give you something and to think that everything good comes from outside Haiti, said Desrosiers.

When asked if he could think of an occasion when intended help actually hurt, Leblanc said it was hard to narrow it down to one example. But he told of a group distributing supplies following the country’s horrific earthquake in 2010 by throwing items into a crowd, which became violent.

Desrosiers pointed to enormous shipments of food that came after the earthquake, even though Haiti’s agricultural area wasn’t impacted. Much of it was food that Haitians don’t typically eat, he said. “Charity should have respect in it. It should’ve had love. That’s what we didn’t find.”

But not all aid is bad, Rosemond said. He told the

story of a German couple who started a hospital that served his family. They were humble and well-respected, and they had a long-term relationship with the community.

After experiencing “arrogance hidden inside pity” on short-term mission trips, Hedglin developed a new perspective as a Haitian resident. “It’s not my job to save or help Haiti,” she said. “But I am called to be an ally.”

Goodwill

By Jennifer Holder

Jumping and jamming at FBC First Baptist Church Concord got the summer off to a great start for the middle school age crowd with a Wednesday night visit to JumpJam Trampoline Park, 11201 Threadstone Lane.

The popular 20,000 square feet facility is available for private parties as well as “open jump� times during the week.

Members and guests for the FBC JumpJam visit took full advantage of the park’s offerings. The trampoline field features more than 50

trampolines, including the angled wall trampolines and launching decks. It was a frequent jumping off point for many slam dunks at the basketball goal during the evening!

Pool parties, mission trips and local service opportunities will round out the middle school program for FBC this year. For information on the youth programs at First Baptist Concord, contact Wes Evans at 288-1624

South-Doyle program is last Ag Ed standing

By Betty Bean The Agricultural Education program at SouthDoyle High School is the last remaining such program in Knox County following the elimination of the program at North Knox Vocational Center on the campus of Halls High School.

Teacher Mike Blankenship, who began teaching at Doyle High School in 1978, was told his position was eliminated because of low enrollment, even though students say school counselors advised them not to sign up because the program was being cut. North Knox also lost its Child Development program.

Don Lawson, supervisor of Career Technical Education (CTE), said there had been four such programs in Knox County but those at Farragut High and Byington-Solway have been shuttered. Classes include wildlife management and forestry as well as horticulture and greenhouse man-

agement.

Several students and their families attended last week’s school board meeting and two spoke.

James Dunn, a senior at Gibbs High School and president of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter, recited a partial list of the honors the club won under Blankenship’s guidance.

“We will no longer be able to compete in career development events,” he said.

“We as a class and a chapter are very disappointed. This closure will take away many opportunities.”

What Dunn didn’t say that night is that one of the lost opportunities could be his chance to go to college.

“I was hoping to try to get a scholarship through the

Dunn lives on a family farm and wants to major in agriculture at UT. Ryan Cox, also a rising senior, has invested three years in a vocational track he won’t be able to complete.

Farragut Academy of Music office manager Clarissa Feldt points the way to the exciting world of music.

Making music in Farragut Allied Music Instructor founder and director Jeff Comas is branding his schools to the neighborhoods served. To celebrate that, AMI hosted a grand opening at the Farragut Academy of Music, 11161 Kingston Pike, and the Knoxville Academy of Music on Summer Wood Road.

The Farragut branch celebrated with drawings for prizes, tours of the facilities, meetings with the staff and Bojangles refreshments.

Comas, who is also a music teacher, said the changes better reflect what the company does, and the locations offer more efficient service to students and their parents. Allied Music Instructors, which opened in 2003, remains the parent company. “Music is what I know best,” he said. “It is really rewarding to help kids.

When they study music, it helps them do better in other areas.”

The schools teach students as young as 4 years old through adulthood. The

Farragut school has approximately 125 students. On the agenda for the school is Rock Band Camp, July 7-12, and the Instrument Petting Zoo, July 21-25. The “petting zoo” is an opportunity for students to become familiar with different instruments to see which one fits them the best, said Comas.

Terrorism is still a prevalent threat to the United States, even in East Tennessee, and law enforcement needs citizens to remain alert about activities in their communities, said retired FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Knoxville Division Kenneth Moore.

“We face an evolving threat every single day,” Moore said. Terrorism is not the same as what the nation witnessed in 2001 because terrorists have changed their tactics, he added.

Moore spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville recently. It was a big week for Moore, as it was his last week on the job before retirement. He worked in both domestic and international roles with the bureau for 26 years. The agent said he didn’t realize when he agreed to speak that it would be during his

FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Knoxville Division Kenneth Moore spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville the week he retired from the agency after more than 26 years of service. last week with the FBI. He and his wife also planned to move that week to the Northeast, where he has accepted a position in the private sector that he did not identify.

“I am an emotional wreck right now,” he said.

Moore said mobile devices, social media and other constant connections have

changed how people do business, including those who would do harm to others. And although terrorist tactics may have changed, their goal has remained the same: “to destroy our country.”

What enables the FBI to protect the country is the eyes and ears of communities, he explained.

The FBI has about 13,500 agents both here and internationally, but he noted that some police departments are larger than that, which is why the bureau also relies on access to the community to help prevent crimes. Moore has worked in numerous roles with the FBI including the Hate Crimes Unit at FBI headquarters, managing counterterrorism and counterintelligence programs and serving as the on-scene commander for FBI operations in Afghanistan.

Even here in East Tennessee, the threat of terrorism is “very real,” and

people should work together to prevent things from happening, he said. He cautioned that citizens should not take action themselves but call either local law enforcement or the FBI. When Neyland Stadium is full on a Saturday afternoon, that’s 102,000 people in one central location, he said. Other significant infrastructures include ORNL, TVA and Y-12. As SAIC of the Knoxville Division, he oversaw offices not only in Knoxville, but also in Johnson City, Oak Ridge, Tullahoma and Chattanooga.

Moore encouraged the Rotarians to apply for the FBI Citizens Academy, which is an eight-week program that teaches community leaders more about what the FBI does.

Moore had been in Knoxville two years and said he enjoyed his time here. “I came here as a University of Georgia fan, and I’m leaving here as a Vol for Life.”

A third-row seat to history It’s a big deal for East Tennessee each year when the Ella Baker Child Policy Training Institute brings a couple thousand of American’s brightest and most idealistic young people for a weeklong training session before they go out to manage Freedom Schools across the country.

Called servant-leaders, the college students are interns of the Children’s Defense Fund who will be teaching impoverished kids later this summer. They live for a week in a dorm at UT, with their main activities at the Alex Haley Farm in Norris.

Development debate heats up in West Knox

By Wendy Smith West Knox County homeowners continue to be concerned about the recent uptick in development, especially multi-family projects that will come before the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission on Thursday.

“We are not anti-development,” said Council of West Knox County Homeowners president Margot Kline at last week’s meeting. “We are for development that is good for everybody.”

Properties at Ebenezer Road and Highbridge Drive, at Westland Drive and Coile

Lane and at Northshore Drive and Thunderhead Road are currently on the agenda for the 1:30 p.m. meeting at the City-County Building’s main assembly room.

“It seems like, to me, that development is getting approved that, in the past, might not have gotten approval at all, or had more restrictions,” Kline said.

Those opposed to the Westland Cove development are already moving in the direction of a lawsuit, and a public and well-financed battle over the proposed development of condomini-

ums behind the historic Christenberry home seems to be moving in the same direction.

Knox County residents opposed to the proposed 246-unit apartment complex at Northshore Town Center, located in the city, feel they have ample grounds for a lawsuit. They plan to use Pellissippi Parkway’s Scenic Highway designation as ammunition.

Kline says she has been fielding calls and emails expressing dismay over the perception that MPC is “rubber-stamping” all development projects.

County residents have also complained about the hiring of Dave Hill as the MPC’s deputy director and comprehensive planning manager.

The position was never advertised, Kline said, and Hill was unpopular while serving under Mayor Bill Haslam as director of South Waterfront Development.

She is also concerned about the online publication of the PlanET Playbook, the culmination of a 30-month, $4.3 million project that brought together mayors, community partners and local citizens to envision a greater quality of life for

the region. The playbook is intended to serve as a “blueprint” to guide policy in the areas of transportation, development, the environment and other issues in a five-county area. The project was funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Kline said that MPC chief Mark Donaldson appears to be using the playbook to justify sector and zoning changes instead of the General Plan, in spite of the fact that the playbook has not been voted on by any local legislative body.

Third district County

Commissioner Tony Norman, who will soon complete his second term, addressed the West Knox homeowners group. He described the MPC as being very professional.

It’s difficult to understand the nuances of zoning, and it takes an alert populace to keep up with development, he said. He encouraged concerned citizens to voice their opinions at County Commission meetings.

“Your fannies have to be in the seats. It has a large impact if there are bodies out there. The commission pays attention to that.”

Vieo: Weaving together a company concept

By Bonny C. Millard Vieo Design, a website design and inbound marketing company, took its name from the Latin word that means “to weave together.” The owners now believe the name not only suggests how the company weaves together different web technologies and marketing philosophies to benefit its clients, but their own business journey as well.

The team has grown, and the name has come to reflect how the company’s four principals have woven together their different areas of expertise to expand and enhance services.

Founded by Paul Gibson and Rob Spurlock, Vieo creates and launches websites for other businesses and provides the marketing necessary to support those websites.

Vieo has won numerous advertising awards since its inception.

Gibson said he chose the company’s name because the Latin word, pronounced vee-oh, represented what he and Spurlock were trying to do. Spurlock and Gibson’s mutual respect and friendship led to the decision to form a company, and they had experience working together on projects in the past. In fact, Spurlock was Gibson’s first boss out of college.

When they teamed up in 2008 to create Vieo Design, they both had many years of Internet experience. Gibson’s skills as webmaster and graphic designer complement-

Vieo Design owners Mac Bartine, Holly Yalove, Paul Gibson and Rob Spurlock sit in the company’s open office. Photo by Bonny C. Millard ed Spurlock’s web hosting and server environment expertise. Together they started designing and building websites. Within a short time, the company began expanding its services to include marketing to meet clients’ needs.

Gibson’s sister, Holly Yalove, moved here from Atlanta, and with her corporate marketing and sales skills, joined the agency in 2009 as the director of marketing. In addition, Yalove handled the firm’s social media promotions and served as project manager.

Yalove is now the chief marketing officer.

The siblings are the children of retired Maryville College president Gerald Gibson and his wife, Rachel.

Vieo partnered with Mac Bartine, who in time would become the fourth principal. Although Bartine had his own Internet businesses, he realized he wanted to be part of Vieo. Bartine, chief operating officer, provides Internet marketing and strategic planning for Vieo’s customers.

In 2011, the company evolved into an equal partnership with Gibson, Spurlock, Yalove and Bartine as principals and owners.

This merger of skills enhanced the company’s ability and credentials for inbound marketing, which is based on needs of a business’s customers using a host of Internet tools.

“We’re a nice balance of skill sets,” Yalove said.

Located on Willow Point Way off of Hardin Valley Road, Vieo has grown to a total of 11 employees and currently has an intern.

Yalove said the goal is to drive potential customers to a business’s website and to develop content that would convince consumers to choose that company.

Vieo provides a full range of services including search engine optimization (SEO) of content, social media support, branding and strategic planning. Clients receive training from Vieo staff on how to manage their websites.

“We bring together many different pieces and work them into a master plan,” Gibson said.

This past spring, Vieo was named a HubSpot Partner Silver Status. HubSpot is an Internet-based software platform that utilizes inbound marketing with blogging, email, SEO, analytics, social media and other online tools. Gibson said HubSpot helps their company carry out its mission to provide a broad range of services to customers.

The company has operated in the black since it started and had an unprecedented 800 percent growth last year. The Vieo principals say they also want to foster a good work environment for employees. Bartine said the staff works together in a collaborative effort to produce quality work.

“Everybody loves it here,” Bartine said.

Paideia a Academy’s annual Field Dayy was held on Thursday, May 15th in the gym at Bridgewater Place event center.

The students were divided into teams of 14 different “town posses” competing against one another in 8 different stations. Each posse was led by a student “Sheriff” with a faculty/staff member “Deputy” to assist. The first seven stations were conducted in a simultaneous rotation. For the grand finale,

The stations were:

Across the miles

Crossville residents now benefit from 3-Star Cardiac Program Shirley Franklin-Simons woke up face down in a grocery store parking lot one day in January amid slush and snow. She had collapsed, suffering multiple injuries as a result. There was gravel in her mouth.

“I don’t remember that I fell,” the Crossville resident says. “I blacked out.

My lip was cut, my nose swelled up, my face, my shoulder, my knees – I hurt myself quite badly.” Even her teeth were sore, and blood vessels were broken where her glasses had been pushed into her face.

Her collapse was the first and only indication that something was wrong.

Franklin-Simons knew she needed to go to the hospital, but she had to check on her ailing husband first. She was given a ride home by a store employee, then called her church and got a ride to Cumberland Medical Center.

“I can be there in eight minutes or less,” Franklin-Simons says of her decision to seek treatment at CMC, “because I live so close.” After being treated for her injuries, she learned for the first time that there was a chance the fall had been the result of a heart problem.

It came as a surprise. There had been no symptoms.

What followed was a visit to her physician for a stress test. The results concerned him, and he encouraged her to see a cardiologist. So Franklin-Simons scheduled an appointment with Vianney Villaruz, MD. “He said, ‘You need to have a heart catheterization to find out what the problem is,’ ” Franklin-Simons recalls. “That scared me to death because people used to die from them years ago, with blood clots and stuff like that.”

However, with today’s technology at a hospital like Cumberland Medical Center, heart catheterization is a much safer procedure and can save lives when it detects a problem that can be treated. Such was the case with Franklin-Simons. An artery was closing up, and there was concern that she may need a stent.

of the tools and technology at Parkwest Medical Center, Xenopoulos was able to determine that a stent was not needed for Franklin-Simons.

The special test that Xenopolous performed at Parkwest is called “Pressure Wire” or Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) measurement. The use of FFR measurement provides the cardiologist with a straightforward, readily available quantitative technique for evaluating the physiologic significance of a coronary stenosis.

While the process was difficult, it yielded results that will pay off in the long run, avoiding an unnecessary procedure.

“I’m so grateful that he did a special test different than my doctor, because it showed that I didn’t need a stent,” Franklin-Simons says. “I feel blessed that my doctor in Crossville referred me to Parkwest in Knoxville.

It was a wonderful experience.”

From the valet parking to the comfortable bed and caring, efficient medical staff, Franklin-Simons says she was treated well at Parkwest. Her only complaint had been that she didn’t get to eat supper, but a nurse brought her peanut butter and crackers.

Parkwest cardiologists perform first heart procedure at CMC Excellence in interventional cardiology is now just a few miles east for people who live in Crossville. The merger of Covenant Health and Cumberland Medical Center (CMC) was finalized earlier this year, and the first interventional heart procedure partnering CMC and Parkwest physicians was performed March 13.

Interventional cardiology includes heart procedures that require catheterization, like angioplasty. Cardiac catheterization is the insertion of a thin tube into a chamber or vessel of the heart.

Parkwest cardiologists Nicholas Xenopoulos, Stephen Marietta and Robert Martyn have been heavily involved in the planning and implementation of the interventional cardiology program at CMC. It’s just one way that CMC patients are experiencing the benefits of their local hospital’s connection with Covenant Health and Parkwest.

“We are excited to welcome the staff of Cumberland Medical Center to Covenant’s team of more than 10,000 healthcare professionals who share a commitment to provide the best possible patient care,” said Rick Lassiter, president and CAO of Parkwest.

Since the announcement of the merger process nearly a year ago, integration teams from Covenant Health and Cumberland Medical Center have performed needs assessments and planning projects across many clinical and operational areas, including interventional cardiology.

Coffee Break with

interesting to talk to. He was an out-ofthe-box kind of person. He wasn’t in the greatest shape. He succeeded even though he was an alcoholic and smoked a lot. He succeeded against the odds. He wasn’t a prototypical athlete, but he holds a lot of records.

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

My grandmother, Stella Schrimpsher – Granny. She lived next door to me, and I stayed with her every day after school. In the summer I stayed there along with a lot of my cousins. She was like another mom to us. She made the best sweet tea ever. She had 15 kids, so I had a lot of cousins.

Clint Schrimpsher

I still can’t quite get the hang of …

Nearly as soon as he got out of high school, Clint Schrimpsher started traveling.

“I’ve been to Las Vegas three times and been on seven cruises,” he says. “I’ve done Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Mexico, Jamaica. I’ve been to Canada, to Windsor, Ontario, across from Detroit.”

Seeing the world is a high priority, but the town of Farragut Public Works employee runs into resistance from his wife, Erin, who is scared to fly. “My wife says, ‘If we were meant to fly, God would have given us wings,’” he says. So in recent years, especially with kids in tow, their trips have been primarily to Southeastern beaches such as Daytona, Myrtle and Panama City. They have two boys: a 7-year-old and an 18-month-old.

Schrimpsher grew up in the Karns/Hardin Valley area and attended the local schools, from Ball Camp Elementary through Karns Intermediate, Middle and High. He started working at 15 and after graduating in 1998 got his license in plumbing and worked for his father’s construction company. He started working for the town in 2006, but he still has a plumbing company and does plumbing on the side.

That doesn’t leave him much spare time, but he devotes it to his family. He enjoys taking his sons, Brody and toddler Ryland, to the park and spending time with Erin, even checking off her honey-do list.

He likes being outdoors – hiking and driving the back roads of Cades Cove, for instance – but he especially loves being on his bass boat. “It’s a chance to get away from everything,” he says. “Fishing just relaxes me. I’m not the best fisherman, but I like to do it.”

Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Clint Schrimpsher.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

“If I’m not back in five minutes … just wait longer.”

“Ace Ventura” My favorite movie is probably “The Shawshank Redemption.”

What are you guilty of?

“I’m always guilty of all the good I did not do.” That’s something my papaw always said. It made sense to me.

What is your favorite material possession?

My bass boat. I work most of the time, so I don’t get to spend as much time on it as I would like. I like using it

Dealing with rude people.

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

I’m not sure. I’m not a materialistic person.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

on the weekends. I take my son to Douglas Lake. It’s got mountain scenery and clean water.

Don’t squat with your spurs on.

What is your social media of choice?

Twitter

What are you reading currently?

Sports Illustrated. I’m a big sports junkie, and I love UT football. I’ve been going there since I was 5, watching games with my dad.

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

Go to the Super Bowl. Visit the redwood forest in California – I think that would be amazing to see. Go on a safari in Africa.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Friendly. I’ve learned not to let things bother me. It doesn’t do you any good to stay mad all the time.

Working in fast food during high school. It was horrible – standing in one place all day, taking orders. From the customers, not from the boss.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

Roadrunner. You always know what’s gonna happen, but it’s still funny.

What irritates you?

Talking to people who think they know everything.

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

Thinking out loud. It’s not really talking to myself.

I say things that I think before I think about what I’m saying. My mouth needs to come with a filter – not because of cussing – just a time delay. I stick my foot in my mouth and in other people’s mouths.

What is your passion?

Football. I like basketball and baseball, too. I started playing football when I was 8 – quarterback, defensive back, receiver – a little bit of everything, all over the field. My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. When I was a kid is when they were making their Super Bowl runs. I’ve been following them since I was 10.

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

Babe Ruth. He just seems like he would be really

What is the worst job you have ever had?

What’s one place in Farragut everyone should visit?

The parks. There’s such a variety. There’s the splash pad, the synthetic turf soccer fields, fishing, creeks, baseball – a real variety of things to do in them.

What is your greatest fear?

Dying and being gone. I know I’ll see family and friends again one day, but just not at the time. I can’t think of leaving my kids; I hate to think of that.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?

I’d move my family to an island and start all over!

Somewhere like the Virgin Islands – I’d open something on the beach and sell surfboards, anything. I wouldn’t have a bar. I don’t drink so it’d be kind of hard. Though at least I wouldn’t get rid of the inventory.

It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Shopper-News readers. Email suggestions to Sherri Gardner Howell, gardners@tds.net. Include contact info if you can.

Shakespeare shines on Market Square

By Sh B Shana Raley-Lusk R l L k It may seem like a bit of a stretch to combine top-notch entertainment, literary education, the atmosphere of the great outdoors, and an exciting night downtown. But, thanks to the Tennessee Stage Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special nightly performances of two of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plays this summer, that challenge can be easily met in Knoxville.

The two plays chosen to be performed this summer are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much Ado About Nothingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Titus Andronicus.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Philosophically, we always try to balance the plays, for instance, a comedy with a tragedy,â&#x20AC;? says Tom Parkhill, Founding Artistic Director with Tennessee Stage Company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started with the idea that we would do the big well-known titles for Shakespeare on the Square, but of course, you cannot always choose those. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Titusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is not as well-known, so we balanced that with the ever popular â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Much Ado About Nothing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Titus Andronicusâ&#x20AC;? has not been performed for Shakespeare on the Square previous to this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very dark, but was actually Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular play during his own lifetime,â&#x20AC;? Tom adds.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to make a dark and violent play beautiful by using stylized movement as a storytelling device.

For the performances, the company spends a considerable amount of time

Brian Bonner as Tybalt and Jenny Ballard as Mercutio fight to the death in a previous production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Juliet.â&#x20AC;? Photo submitted and energy creating the perfect backdrop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We build our own stage and tie it onto the pavilion,â&#x20AC;? Tom explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put up a backdrop and it is built to somewhat resemble The Globe Theatre in London. It is a one-level, flat stage.â&#x20AC;?

As in years past, the company will be performing the plays free of charge, but will also pass a basket for donations at each performance. They recommend a $10 per person donation if possible.

Fun for the whole family, Shakespeare on the Square brings the past to life as it explores the dynamic and seemingly

endless meanings in the writing of William Shakespeare.

If you are looking for the best seats in the house, so to speak, the company invites you to reserve VIP seating for $15 per person. A bottle of water is also included with the reservation.

For those who prefer the cool comfort of indoors this time of year, Tennessee Stage Company will once again be offering two indoor performances of the plays at the Square Room located at 4 Market Square. The cost to view the plays indoors is $10.

Tennessee Stage Company is offer-

ing a couple of other opportunities for the community to experience the plays firsthand. Shakespeare Out Loud is a quarterly reading of one of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plays held at Lawson McGhee Library downtown. Typically held on the third Sunday of the month at 2 p.m., these readings are free, fun, and everyone is welcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This helps everyone gain exposure to the plays in a new format, and each attendee has the opportunity to read at these events,â&#x20AC;? Tom says.

This is also a chance for the company to explore plays that have not yet been performed on Market Square.

Another offering this year, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shakesology,â&#x20AC;? gives play-goers the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the play prior to its performance and provides a study of the play being performed on Market Square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a sort of guide to each play and even looks at the given playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film history,â&#x20AC;? Tom explains.

These performances and events are an ideal way to combine culture, learning, and fun this summer.

Shakespeare on the Square will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much Ado About Nothingâ&#x20AC;? July 17, 19, 25, 27 and 31, and Aug. 2, 8, 10, 14, and 16; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Titus Andronicusâ&#x20AC;? July 18, 20, 24 and 26, and Aug. 1, 3, 7, 9, 15 and 17.

All performances start at 7 p.m. on Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Info: tennesseestagecompany.com

Flatwater equals fun

By Carol Zinavage

Sande MacMorran with his painstakingly restored Wenonah canoe Photos by Carol Zinavage

Sande MacMorran of North Knoxville likes nothing better than calm water and a sleek canoe.

MacMorran, retired UT professor of tuba and current tubist with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, was at one time an active racing member of the U.S. Canoe Association. Between 1993 and 2005, he placed in the National Championship in standard class racing three times.

“Those were 17-mile races,” he remembers. “One stroke a second.” He mimes the rowing and chants the cadence: “A thousand one-two-threefour, a thousand one-two-threefour.”

MacMorran (his first name is pronounced “Sand”) comes from what he describes as “hot racing canoe country” – Spencer, Ind. After receiving his degrees – a bachelor’s degree in music education from Ball State University and a master’s degree in performance from the University of Wisconsin in Madison – he did a stint with the U.S. Army Band. “We

were stationed in Washington, D.C.,” he says. “We were the nation’s band during the Vietnam War.” In 1974 he came to UT as professor of tuba and taught there until he retired in December of 2013. During that time he also served as the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Associate Conductor, the Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra’s conductor, and music director/conductor for the Appalachian Ballet Company, a position he still holds.

Speaking of his favorite pastime, he says, “You go to the Northeast and the Midwest – there’s lots of paddling. There are paddling clubs all over – it’s a way of life. But people are much less active down here.

“Tennessee has world-class whitewater, but we also have the best flatwater and, in my opinion, the best variety of flatwater paddling in the country. There are gorgeous flatwater rivers everywhere in the state, and they’re not used much.”

While he’d like to see the sport become more popular, he doesn’t mind

the fact that his paddling trips are so uncrowded.

“The rivers are mine!” he declares, laughing, “and I share them with Liz!” He’s speaking of his friend Liz Offringa, who is originally from The Hague, Holland. The retired flight attendant and office manager met MacMorran in a coffee shop on Market Square three years ago. He heard her lilting Dutch accent and the two got to talking. “What’s the best orchestra in the world?” he asked and she immediately answered, “The Royal Concertgebouw [of Amsterdam]!”

The two share a love of music, nature and an active lifestyle. He’s recently introduced her to his beloved flatwater via a pair of kayaks.

“Kayaks are becoming more popular,” notes Offringa. “They seem easier and they’re inexpensive.”

When the two invited me and a friend to come along on a recent Saturday, I was thrilled. We put in at the Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge boat dock and paddled down the French Broad River, three of us with kayaks and Sande with his canoe. “There’s nothing like a canoe,” he said. “They’re so smooth.” He did indeed handle the craft as an extension of his body, easily maneuvering

Sande MacMorran and Liz Offringa in MacMorran’s “boatyard”

The former racing canoeist points out a rock formation on the French Broad River.

around the river, speeding ahead or coming alongside another boat to chat. It’s no trick to spot the former racer in his form and style.

He knows the river well.

“There’s a reef up there,” he called, pointing ahead to a visual line in the water. Indeed, the deep water gave way to a shelf about two feet below the surface, a formation MacMorran identified as part of an island in the distance. It was a good chance to hop out and dunk, and I did. “Need any help?” another kayaker – the only other one on the river – called out from a distance. “No thanks!” I laughed.

“It’s shallow!”

It’s a funny feeling to be standing in thigh-high water in the middle of the French Broad River.

We pulled alongside a high rock wall that had been carved out below by the current. “There’s a cave up there,” said MacMorran. We speculated on its occupants. In a little while, we came upon another natural formation.

WHAT’S THE MOST FUN EVENT OF THE SUMMER?

“This is the healthiest, happiest poison ivy you’re ever going to see!” laughed MacMorran, using his paddle to point to a vine growing high on the rock and sporting dinner-plate-sized leaves.

A blue heron seemed to stay with us during the entire trip.

Several times we observed the magnificent waterfowl lifting from its riverside perch and soaring into flight, just ahead of us.

Each time, we were stunned into silence by the bird’s beauty and grace.

Everyone should experience this. And it’s just out our back door.

“You know, when you think about it, this country was founded on canoe travel, what with the Hudson’s Bay Company, fur traders, and the like,” said MacMorran. “It’s very much a part of American history.”

Back home in North Knoxville, he proudly shows off the watercraft collection he keeps in the boatyard he built behind his house. Among his favorites are a

single-person racing canoe that weighs only 18.5 pounds. “Those things are like riding a green bean down the river. They’re real ‘tippy.’”

Another treasure is a wooden canoe made by the Wenonah company. He and his friend D. Scot Williams, a cellist with the KSO who is also a fine cabinetmaker, restored the historic craft, adding exquisitely detailed woodwork.

In retirement, MacMorran still enjoys teaching and has private students, some of whom pay no lesson fee. But he’s glad to have more time to do the other things that he enjoys, like working on his historic North Knoxville home, cooking, and, of course, getting out on the water with Liz, other friends and his daughter Grace, who’s also an avid kayaker.

“I wouldn’t live anywhere else in the world,” he says. “I just like to be on the beautiful water around here in any form, on any boat.”

With farmers markets springing up all around the Knoxville area, there are plenty of ways for local shoppers to find unique products, fresh delicious food, and lots of fun new experiences for every member of the family.

But the importance of farmers markets goes far beyond the wholesome veggies and fruits proudly displayed at the markets.

“Farmers markets are a great way to connect with your community, for customers and producers,” said Charlotte Tolley, director of the Market Square Farmers Market in downtown Knoxville. “Customers can talk to the people that grow their food and learn new ways to incorporate locally grown foods into their diets, and learn to experience new things.”

These markets provide important opportunities for the farmers as well, though.

“Farmers and producers are able to get direct feedback from their customers and grow their businesses, as well as talk to

other growers and producers to collaborate and learn from each other,” Tolley added.

For many, spending those hard-earned dollars at a farmers market just feels good.

“Our shoppers know that their dollars are going straight to a small business owner in their community,” Tolley said.

Jeff Cannon, organizer of the Dixie Lee Farmers Market in Farragut, shared similar insights about the value of farmers markets in general.

“Our main focus is to provide the community with goods made by the community,” Jeff said. “Our market is a no-resale, producer-only farmers market. Plus it’s a great chance for the consumer to meet the farmer who grew the food they are purchasing.”

Some markets go far above and beyond the sale of fruits and vegetables. The Maryville Farmers Market, for instance, offers children’s activities as well as products from Blackberry Farms. And they are not alone in their quest to provide customers with one-of-a-kind experiences.

Many of the local markets offer organic choices, plants, artisan crafts, meat, milk, and even ice cream.

With all of these exciting options to mesh shopping with entertainment, be sure to check out what these local markets have to offer this summer. It is an experience which may just turn into a weekly ritual. Most markets operate May through at least October.
