2015 Karns Community Fair revamped

Senior Center seeks volunteers The Strang Senior Center, 109 Lovell Heights Road, is looking for volunteer computer instructors. “We are seeking a friendly person, who is knowledgeable in Windows operating systems, Android phones and possibly the iPad,” said director Lauren Monahan.

The center offers courses in Windows, Excel, Internet and email. Interested persons will work flexible times. Most classes are 8-hour courses, over two weeks. Volunteers must be familiar with computers, teaching and projection systems. Classes will start in September.

Sandra Clark writes: “Let’s lose the evaluation rubric, the strategic compensation matrix and the committee that’s reformatting incentive pay. APEX is gone, and it’s not coming back.

“Let’s launch the new year with teachers and kids excited about returning to school, not feeling overwhelming dread.”

Rethinking George Wallace Betty Bean writes: “George Wallace is beginning to be mentioned among the possible contenders to succeed Mayor Madeline Rogero when she leaves office in four years. He has clearly developed the art of dodging questions about his aspirations.”

Williams has idea that’s ‘Bigger than Shark Tank’

Karns resident Bennie Williams has invented Entry Clean, a mechanical doormat that can sense your presence and instantly vacuum the dirt from your shoes as you enter your house.

One Sunday during church, Williams’ pastor compared physical cleanliness to spiritual cleanliness. The sermon suggested cleanliness was learned from countries in the East, particularly Asia.

“The samurai were reported to have taken up to seven baths a day,” says Williams. “What is the first thing you do when you enter a home in Asia? You take your shoes off. That’s how this idea was born.”

Williams sat at his dining-room table with some of his engineer friends for many hours sketching out his idea. The first prototype ran off an attached vacuum system and wouldn’t fit in a compact space such as a front-door stoop.

His second and most current design is more compact and uses a 110-watt wall outlet.

prototype and logo. He has created a website, and press releases have been sent to major news outlets across the country.

“Albert Einstein wasn’t good at math, but he was good at thinking outside the box,” says Williams. “That’s what I’m doing. This is outside the box.”

Williams hopes to begin a nonprofit with some of the money from the sale to help innercity and rural area kids in school. “I wish I had that help growing up, but I can’t go back in time. To have positive encouragement … there’s not enough adjectives to tell you how that makes you feel. God wants you to help people.”

Wife Jacquie says they’re also getting a new dining-room table. “He scratched the one we Bennie and Jacquie Williams show patents for have while working on Entry Clean,” she says.

Anne Woodle: lousy politician, splendid human

By Betty Bean Not to say that those who run for office can’t be also good people, but the qualities that made Anne Woodle a crappy politician were the very things that made her a fine human – unswerving fealty to what she believed to be right and an unfettered refusal to compromise her principles, even when she knew that the stands she was taking were incompatible with longevity in office.

Like the time she served on the election commission and refused to vote to hire the candidate for administrator favored by Knox County’s most powerful local Democrat (that would be Joe Armstrong) because she believed another candidate was more qualified. Woodle’s candidate won, but she lost her seat come reappointment time.

And she probably never lost a night’s sleep over it.

afford to pay for bus service for all, it had to take drastic measures.

The political fallout was severe, even though anybody with two grams of gray matter knew the inequity couldn’t continue. The resulting parental responsibility zones meant no more bus service for families living close to schools, and that city kids living some distance away would ride instead of walk. Woodle voted for the changes and became a one-termer.

That one hurt, but probably more for the vicious racist attacks on her teenaged son, Jason, who is bi-racial, than for anything that happened to her.

“It really is all about integrity, so our first move was to bring in judges from the pageant community who know how it’s done by industry standards. I’m not into playing the name game.

The judges have to be impartial, and there has to be transparency with the sponsorship money and prizes.”

Hancock says she hopes the businesses in the community will see the changes.

“I’d like the businesses in the community to be proud to sponsor the pageant so we can send the winners on

Stepping into those shoes as Miss Karns Fairest of the Fair is Kristen Mayes.

Mayes, 20, is a competition cheerleader and studies criminal justice at Pellissippi State Community College. In addition to Mayes, winners are: Little Miss, Brooke Billorey, 8; People’s Choice, Gracie Mayes, 9; Ambassador, Gracie Hancock, 8; Ambassador, Mady Robinson, 14; Young Miss, Gracie Burgess, 10; and Junior Miss, Brianna Mayes, 15.

court (as Cas Walker used to say) was that Woodle pretty much loved all children. As director of the East Tennessee Children’s Rehabilitation Center for more than 30 years, it was her job to care for children in fragile health. During her off hours, she’d turn down dates and social occasions to take a kid to a movie.

Indya Kincannon, who met Woodle in 2004 when Kincannon first ran for school board, is in Europe with her family and had to break the news of Woodle’s death to her young daughters, Dahlia and Georgia.

She describes Woodle as a supporter, mentor and a true friend.

She created annual rituals – birthday adventures, thriftshopping, cookie baking and decorating – that Dahlia and Georgia loved.

“Since our parents live far away, Anne was like their surrogate Tennessee Grandma, who could just love, spoil and enjoy them. Anne read to my kids when they were little, and later started a book club for Dahlia and her friend Maya. My girls consider Anne their dear friend, not just a friend of mine who’s nice to them. She really connected with kids in a way that is rare. We will miss her so much.”

‘Potential’ instead of results Once upon a time, long, long ago, Tennessee called itself Wide Receiver U. The thought lingers. It is now a myth.

Tennessee has an interesting history of catching thrown balls and a current crop of potential standouts blessed with large reputations and many stars from recruiting analysts. Unfortunately, there is more talk than touchdowns. Stats do not measure up to hype.

Bob Whetsel hits the road Bob Whetsel will soon retire as the city’s redevelopment director, and he doesn’t mind stepping down before current projects are completed. Before one wraps up, another starts, he explains.

Wendy Smith

“The city is an ongoing project.”

He’s witnessed the beginning − and end − of many projects since becoming redevelopment director in 2008. He had no way of knowing the growth he’d witness when he came to Knoxville in 1974 to teach and coach football at Bearden High School.

(Among his players was Tim Burchett, who still calls him “Coach.”)

Bob and his wife, Melynda, bought a restored

Victorian on Luttrell Street in 1980. They bought other homes in the neighborhood as investment property, and in 1986, he retired from teaching to sell real estate.

He eventually met Victor Ashe, who announced his first mayoral campaign from the Whetsels’ front porch.

In 1993, Whetsel was hired as service director for the city, and he stayed in the position for 15 years until Bill Haslam, during his second term as mayor, asked him to come upstairs to work with him on redevelopment.

Under Haslam, Whetsel’s work was focused on downtown. When Madeline Rogero took the mayoral helm, his focus shifted to the South Waterfront.

He’s seen many changes since he began working with the city. He helped draft the city’s first snow plan and helped plant 1,000 trees during the Ashe administration. The city has grown in square miles and seen the addition of numerous parks

start in air ball. There was little of that foolishness in single-wing times. After Doug Dickey created quarterbacks (Dewey Warren comes to mind), Volunteers started building receiving credibility. Johnny Mills and Richmond Flowers caught several passes. Seivers became a two-time AllAmerican.

As I recall, serious talk about Wide Receiver U began soon after Kippy Brown joined John Majors’ staff in 1982. He helped recruit and refine Miller, McGee, Alvin Harper and Carl Pickens.

The thought matured as six Tennessee receivers became NFL first-round picks.

The Peyton Manning era reinforced the claim and put Kent and Nash in the school record book. Price made it big in the 1998 national championship game.

Robert Meachem, Cedrick Wilson, Donte’ Stallworth, Jermaine Copeland, Jayson Swain, Craig Faulkner, Bret Smith, Cory Fleming – there were several with similar pedigrees.

Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson fit the form.

Alas and alas, that was then. Now is no more than promising. Maybe. Perhaps.

The superintendent hopes to have Russell’s plan fully vetted by teachers and the school board prior to implementation midway in the 2016-17 school year. He has put the whole matter Sandra on the school board’s Aug. 5 Clark agenda for discussion.

Rethinking George Wallace He has considered his name both a curse and a blessing and became acutely aware of this dichotomy when he decided to run for political office nearly five years ago.

Betty Bean “I was on the radio with Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas when Ed, who’s got these bushy eyebrows, leaned in and said my name with a certain amount of disdain: “George Wallace?”

“I said, ‘Well, Ed, not THAT George Wallace.’ ” Nowadays, George C. Wallace (he even shares a middle initial with the late 45th governor of Alabama) doesn’t run into that kind of reaction nearly as often be-

cause he has made a name of his own. The City Council member-at-large, born in 1958, was named after his grandmother, Georgia – “Like the state,” he said.

“Over the years, I’ve had a lot of fun with this name.”

Wallace is the chief operating officer of Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace, an 80-year-old real estate firm founded by his father and grandfather. His brother, Jim, is the chief financial officer. The company’s enduring success has made it a pillar of Knoxville’s business community and gave Wallace a head start on his first run for office.

This year, he’s running for re-election unopposed and enjoys broader support than before.

Among his new supporters is former council member Carlene Malone, a longtime neighborhood advocate who has never been a

favorite of the pro-business sector. Malone surprised a lot of people in April when she publicly praised Wallace’s work during a pivotal, called City Council meeting devoted to dissecting the work product of the sign task force, which labored for three years. Wallace cochaired the task force, and Malone said his thoughtful, measured approach won her over. He still sounds amazed by her endorsement.

“She said it publicly. She is very knowledgeable, and I have learned a lot from her – and oh, my gosh, I’ve never had any woman stand up and proclaim her love for me, publicly.”

Wallace, who has a degree in ornamental horticulture and landscape design from UT, said his views on signage regulation evolved during his time on the task force.

“I’m a business owner,

and I have a lot of signs. It was a tough call, but I really care about the way things look. Aesthetics are a big part of economic development, and businesses are attracted to places that Wallace look good.

It’s a complex issue and the more I looked at it, the more I looked at other cities, the more people I talked to, the more I concluded that we can make an improvement.

That feeling just kind of grew. In the end, I think we can make a difference, and over time I think lower signs will improve the appearance of Knoxville.”

Mirtes outraises incumbent Campen The recent release of city candidates’ financial disclosures was not particularly striking except for the Mark Campen-Jennifer Mirtes contest, where she raised more than he did by $1,000.

But they raised less than $3,000 between the two of them.

For an incumbent council member (Campen) to have raised only $350 in June shows Campen is either supremely confident of reelection or he does not think his opponent is a threat.

Last time, Campen was unopposed. He simply has never run a contested race.

He is the quietest member of council and a reliable vote for Mayor Rogero.

Victor Ashe

Mirtes has a clear opportunity to win an election that will not exceed 5,000 voters in November if Campen continues to be invisible. Campen is a likable, serious incumbent who has a campaign style that is modest and under the radar.

Campen failed to attend his colleagues’ receptions over the past two months; they would have been a good place to meet people. He has

not held any event to bring his supporters together. His opponent could beat him if she wages an active campaign on real issues.

On the other hand, Campen might wage a more public campaign. Right now he does not have the funds to do a single mailing.

Three other incumbents running are Finbarr Saunders, Marshall Stair and George Wallace. Wallace is unopposed, and Stair’s opponent, Pete Drew, is not considered credible. Saunders’ major opponent will be Paul Bonovich, but it is unclear how serious this Sequoyah Hills resident will become.

Often this is used for travel and dinners plus donations to other campaigns. Since she cannot seek a third term, she may hold on to it for some other office she might seek in the future or have a fund available to do political work when she retires. She can also use it for her favored candidates in the upcoming council contests.

County Commission was demanding then-Superintendent Allen Morgan spend down his “excessive fund balance” before asking for increased funding.)

The just-signed Memorandum of Understanding gives the county’s finance director, Chris Caldwell, unprecedented authority to dabble in school finance and make recommendations.

None of this is good news for teachers or kids.

It portends further cuts to established school programs, such as the horticulture program at Halls High School, which was eliminated last year. Look for CTE/ vocational programs to be hit hardest with academic electives close behind.

Expect class sizes to grow and increased pressure on experienced (and highest paid) teachers to retire.

These challenges require thoughtful analysis and a

spirit of cooperation and trust that’s been lacking.

Let’s start with Rodney Russell, a good guy who works hard. Let’s reconnect him with kids, perhaps in a classroom. With a director of human resources (Kathy Sims) and several assistants, do we really need a director of human capital strategy?

Businesses and families are doing more with less, while Knox County Schools does less with more. Let’s lose the evaluation rubric, the strategic compensation matrix and the committee that’s reformatting incentive pay. APEX is gone, and it’s not coming back.

Our priority should be teacher pay that’s competitive with surrounding counties. Let’s launch the new year with teachers and kids excited about returning to school, not feeling overwhelming dread.

on first reading and were to go before City Council for a second reading vote this week.

Pension reform is another thorny issue City Council has dealt with during Wallace’s first term, and, again, he said his opinion evolved.

“We wrestled with the idea of pulling out the fire and police (who receive enhanced benefits) departments, but I began to appreciate the value of that for retention of employees, and in the end, we came up with a hybrid plan. I never could quite get comfortable with the notion of making it a 401(k), and I helped author a little bit of the hybrid plan.

It’s not so rich but gives them some kind of benefits program, and we raised the vesting period from five to 10 years. I think it was fair; I hope it was.”

Wallace’s name is beginning to be mentioned among the possible contenders to succeed Mayor Madeline Rogero when she leaves of-

fice in four years. He has clearly developed the art of dodging questions about his aspirations.

“I’m flattered when people say that, but I have a business I’m very entwined with, and it would take some untwining and some unraveling for me to run. I don’t know how that would play out, but I’ll say this: “We have a great city, and we have a lot of people to thank for that. We are standing on the shoulders of those who went before us.”

And what about that signature bow tie?

“At first, the reaction to my wearing it was absolutely comical. I remember Victor Ashe telling me, ‘You’d better lose that bow tie.

You’ll never win with that bow tie.’ I said, ‘I like it that it bothers you.’ ” Wallace and his wife, Stephanie, a retired schoolteacher, live in West Knoxville. Their son, Nick, is a public defender in Montgomery, Ala.

Johnson, 31, who starts at the same age Mitchell did over 34 years ago. He will start out at $52,000 a year, which is $24,000 less than Mitchell was making when she retired.

■ Knoxville lost a committed civic activist with the passing of Anne Woodle last week. She served on the school board and openly advocated her causes without worrying about the political fallout.

■ Dawn Michelle Foster, the new director of redevelopment for the city starting Aug. 31, will see her salary jump $15,000 to $115,000 a year plus a car allowance of $5,830 a year. Anne Wallace, who becomes the new deputy to Foster, will see her salary jump another $10,000 to

$85,000 a year.

When announcing promotions and/or new hires, the Rogero team routinely does not mention the salary. This writer will bring that information to you as city residents are footing the bill. The recent promotion of Chris Howley in city engineering did not include his new salary. One expects some pay hike for a promotion, and the public has a right to know.

Farragut native Lee Winfrey, renowned TV critic For a small area of several thousand people, Concord-Farragut has produced some renowned people in both politics and the military – two governors and the famous first admiral for whom the town is now named.

But one standout Farragut native, Lee Winfrey, is perhaps known locally only to those who grew up in the area. During his 44year career in journalism, he covered Washington politics, Castro’s Cuba and coal-mining disasters, and he finally was a television critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Winfrey’s ability as a writer was evident at the beginning of his career when he served as editor of the University of Tennessee’s student newspaper, the Orange and White, now known as the Daily Beacon.

A dear friend and former colleague, Bob Wesley, who served as sports editor

Malcolm Shell

for the Orange and White, worked with Winfrey four years on the student newspaper and has fond memories of those early years.

Bob also recalls that Winfrey had a great sense of humor and wrote some of the comedy skits for his fraternity, Phi Gamma Delta, for Carnicus competition, the annual tradition at UT in which fraternities and sororities compete for the best comedy skit.

Winfrey graduated from the University of Tennessee with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and was one of the pioneer reporters for the fledgling WBIR-TV station.

He decided he wanted to work for the News-Sentinel,

and Bob took his place as news director for the station.

After leaving Knoxville, Winfrey joined the Tennessean newspaper in Nashville, and in keeping with his sense of humor, he once quirked that he began his career on April Fool’s Day. In 1962, Winfrey joined the Miami Herald, for which he covered Central America and later traveled to Cuba to file stories on life in that country. He became the Herald’s Washington correspondent and served as Washington bureau correspondent for Knight Newspapers. Winfrey joined the Detroit Free Press in 1966 and reported on subjects as diverse as the mob and environmental issues.

Tom Wark, a former Detroit Free Press and retired Philadelphia Inquirer managing editor, remembers that, “Everybody wanted Lee to be on their projects.

He was so good.”

Wark recalled the time

Winfrey was sent to West Virginia to cover a mine disaster. He arrived at the site at 4 p.m. and had to file by 6:30 p.m. to meet deadline.

“It was like he had worked on the story for weeks,” Wark recalled.

His lead was: “Once again in West Virginia, there is frost on the mountain and blood on the coal.” He had also managed to interview each of the victims’ survivors and weave their stories into his file.

But Winfrey is most remembered as the Philadelphia Inquirer’s television critic, a position he held for 27 years and one that often earned him references on late-night shows, including Jay Leno’s show. Prior to joining the Inquirer, he took some time off and earned a master’s degree from the University of Iowa and studied English literature on a Nieman fellowship at Harvard. In his On Television column, he incorporated a

poetic rhythm that was the trademark of his writing style.

He once noted that when he was a child his parents often warned about misspending his youth, and he wondered as a TV critic whether he was misspending his adulthood. As Inquirer staff writer Sally A. Downey noted, Winfrey concluded that more families own a TV than own a bathtub or shower, and if Americans care more about TV than being clean, then it must be an important area for criticism.

In 1978, he became president of the newly formed Television Critics Association (TCA) and immediately introduced changes in protocol that he felt called TV critics’ ethics into question.

Prior to the formation of TCA, networks financed reporters’ expenses to travel to Los Angeles and view screenings of new shows and interview television stars. Lee

contended that this practice made it appear that the critics might be influenced by the networks sponsoring their travel. Association members insisted that they or their employers defray their own expenses, a policy that was soon adopted.

Throughout his career, Winfrey never lost his “Southern drawl or manners.” After filing his “millionth” word as a TV critic, he retired in 2001.

He was an accomplished guitarist and composed country songs as a pastime.

He also loved New Orleans jazz.

Winfrey passed away at age 70 in 2003. He was returned to Farragut and is buried in Pleasant Forest Cemetery just 200 yards from where he grew up and played as a child. And although his career took him many places and included a diversity of reporting assignments, he never forgot his Southern heritage.

gang looks forward, not back

By Betty Bean Some came to Knox County to be with their kids. Some moved here a while back to follow their jobs. Some were born here.

Another, Fred Pardue, a tail gunner in World War II who flew 30 missions over Germany, was grand marshal of Powell’s 4th of July parade.

But most all the Morning Pointe of Powell residents who came to a get-together with Shopper-News reporters last week have something in common – they’d rather look forward than back.

They are concerned about accessible health care, the nuclear deal with

the Iranians and whether to take Confederate flags down from public places.

One resident, Dr. Harry Ogden, a retired physician from Fountain City, recalled that when he started practicing medicine, he had one nurse and one office worker, charged $3 for office visits and $10 for house calls and often took produce or chickens for trade.

“I couldn’t do that today.

I’d have to have 25 or 30 people in my office. There’s no way to be a solo practitioner now,” he said.

Ogden volunteered to help at the Interfaith Health Clinic, which treats the working poor for no, or very

low fees, eees,, and and ended end en ded d up p its its ts director.

He said t H id he h worries i about health care because it’s so important.

Nobody liked the deal the U.S. government cut with Iran to reduce that country’s nuclear assets.

Heads nodded in agreement when Ogden observed that it reminded him of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s pre-World War II pact with Adolf Hitler that Chamberlain said ensured “peace in our time.”

“Two days later, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland.

That’s how much the treaty meant to Hitler. And I think that’s what it means to Iran,” Ogden said. No

one disagreed.

Although they didn’t cut President Obama any slack, nobody was particularly fond of Sens. Lamar Alexander or Bob Corker, either, and Clayton Brewer said he’d term-limit them all, if he could.

There were mixed opinions about the Confederate battle flag controversy, with some saying that flags on public property represent history and should stay where they are, and others, like Ogden, saying that the flags are divisive and should be displayed in museums, Dr. Harry Ogden Sr. has opin- not on flagpoles.

brought down.

Muriel Brewer disagreed: “I think we’ve got more serious problems.”

“Nowadays everybody wears their feelings on their sleeves,” Fred Pardue said.

Nobody disagreed on the issue that drew the strongest reaction: changing the name of the Lady Vols.

“The name change is a mistake, and I’d rather watch the Lady Vols. They’re better players. Team players, not in it for themselves,” said Bob Dupes, who worked for the Secret Service after he retired from the military.

“It’s a terrible mistake, what they’ve done. Very disrupting and I am very much opposed,” Ogden said.

You’ve got to have friends More than 125 women wearing their favorite beach attire gathered at All Saints on July 15 to get loud and rowdy playing games from dominoes to Bunco to Head’s Up and everything in between.

The beach-themed affair featured large round tables, each hosted by a group leader who brought snacks,

games and friends to share.

Girls’ Night Out is all about connecting, making new friends and building a supportive network. Between the whoops of laughter, women young and old shared life lessons, advice and perhaps a hug and a prayer.

“You have no idea what’s going on in someone’s life,” said co-coordinator Patty

Hamorsky. “Sometimes all it takes is prayer and a few hours of fun to see things in a different perspective.

Maybe a huge problem can be easily solved with the advice of someone who has ‘been there, done that.’

There’s a lot of healing that comes from having supportive friends, and that’s what it’s all about really.”

Onions for missions St. John Neumann mission trip started with Vidalias

By Carolyn Evans Think of Vidalia onions and what comes to mind?

Catholic churches might not be your first answer, but St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Farragut could be.

Rafael (Ralph) and Michele Pubillones, members of St. John Neumann, would do almost anything to help the people of Marsella, Colombia, including selling onions. The couple recently got back from their second two-week trip to Marsella, which is in the Risaralda Department in the Andes Mountains. They were part of a 17-member team that distributed 316 big bags of food and put on a Vacation Bible School for 200 needy children.

The bags held enough food to feed a family for a month and included 30 eggs, two boxes of crackers, staples such as flour, sugar and salt, a bag of potatoes

and cleaning supplies.

Luckily, Vidalias were in high demand with St. John Neumann parishioners this spring, and the Pubilloneses report that the sale they held to raise funds for the mission trip was a success.

St. John Neumann members also hosted a pancake breakfast that netted about $1,000 and donated some of the 1,000 rosaries that were handed out in Colombia.

The Knights of Columbus at St. John Neumann and other churches paid for transportation for team members to the Atlanta airport and back, with leftover funds from that trip going to buy more food bags to distribute in Marsella.

Ralph and Michele were part of a team sanctioned by the Knoxville Diocese that included members from All Saints Catholic Church in Knoxville, St. Thomas Catholic Church in Lenoir

City, St. Therese in Cleveland, Tenn., and St. Mary in Athens, Tenn. The group spent the first week visiting nursing homes, handing out rosaries, holy cards and toiletries and praying and singing. At private homes, they visited with residents and left a small gift bag for each member of the family.

“The homes we visited had a sheet metal roof, a dirt floor and a mattress on the ground,” said Ralph Pubillones, who is retired from the U.S. Air Force.

“The poverty is so rampant.

That’s why we go there.”

The second week, the group hosted a three-day VBS for 200 of the neediest children at the Children’s Mission of Marsella. At the end of the week, the team unloaded 316 bags of food at the mission and gave them to children attending the VBS, nursing-home residents and families of chil-

dren the mission sponsors.

The people of Marsella are working to help themselves as well. The team members brought back handmade wooden pens to sell at their local churches.

The pens, $30-$50 each, are made of exotic wood and come in different styles.

The pen shop was set up last year to allow Marsella residents to make money and to support the mission.

The Pubilloneses hope to go back next year. “We’ve been blessed, and we want to share it,” Michele said.

‘Cheaper than a psychiatrist’

Preserving the past

By Charlie Hamilton You know when you go into newer department stores and they all look about the same? In every town and city today in the U.S. you always see a Walmart, Lowes and many other stores and restaurants.

Well, do see anything different about these buildings?

Do they have any unique characteristics, or any stories that they can tell?

Many older buildings are thought to be useless, non-efficient, and way out of style for any newer development. People tear down older buildings so they can build strip malls and big box stores. The Emporium in downtown Knoxville was built in the 1880s and has

been restored for new purposes. The old White Lily flour plant has been restored for new purposes, too.

Now, David Dewhirst, and his team are bring another building back to life.

The old Kern’s Bakery is off Chapman Highway right after you cross the Henley Street bridge. The bakery was built in 1931. Dewhirst plans to do some renovations and repurpose its unique architecture.

The building has a lot of personality and is located next to Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness.

You don’t see many older buildings today, and many of them are fading away every day. It is our job to help preserve the past for future.

Lakeshore Park.

He was just walking around as usual, and a man in a white coat walked up to him, asked him if he was Mayor Burchett, and said “What are you doing?”

Burchett replied that he was metal detecting, and that this was “a cheaper hobby than going to a physiatrist.”

The person in the coat replied, “You are right; I am a physiatrist, and it is cheaper.”

He also told us about some of his finds, too. He said he was digging one day and hit something hard, and he thought it was just an old paint can. He pulled it up, and it was rounded. Turns out it a breast plate from the Civil War. Burchett also explained that he was in a metal detecting club, and told us about some of the finds they have presented to

the club.

You never know what interesting hobbies people might have.

Fun at the lab

When you think of archeology what comes in mind?

Do you think about a person in Egypt searching for mummies, and artifacts?

That is one part of archeology, but do you know that you might have artifacts right here in your backyard?

We had the honor of taking a tour throughout the University of Tennessee’s Archeological Research Lab. We met Mike Angst, Senior Archeologist and Kandi Hollenbach. They showed us some of their discoveries on the expedition at Morgan

Hill next to UT campus.

The artifacts and evidence of a Confederate basecamp from the Civil War were remarkable. On our tour we

also got to wash some artifacts from a recent dig site in South Carolina. Thank you, UT archeology team, for our visit at the archeology lab.

Archeology takes patience

By Maddie Ogle Would you believe that historical artifacts have been found in Knoxville, Tenn.? Archeologists from UT’s Archeological Research Lab have found cannonballs, bullets and armor, from the battle of Knoxville near Kingston Pike. They also know, from different shades of clay dirt, where or what something might’ve been.

This is a job that takes patience and time, because if you rush and break an artifact, it could be very challenging to find all the pieces. But once they come back to the lab, they scrub and wash each dirt-covered artifact until it’s clean.

Then, it could take a very long time to track down all the missing pieces. And when it’s done, we have discovered a piece of history!

Matching the pieces

By Maggie Williams Last Tuesday, the interns went to UT’s Archeological Research Lab. We got to clean some artifacts from South Carolina, found by Ph.D. candidate Kendy Altizer.

To clean the artifacts, all you need is some water and a toothbrush.

There were all sorts of

objects, such as animal bones, pottery pieces, buttons and even an intact glass bottle. I found two pieces of pottery that fit together!

We all learned a lot about what you can find in the ground. You can volunteer there to clean artifacts. It was very enlightening and enjoyable.

Kern’s Bakery inspires interns

By Emma Dale At first glance, the old Kern’s Bakery is a mess.

Erected in 1931, it is 90,000 square feet on 14 acres of land. The bakery can no longer serve its original purpose. But where most developers would see a great place to put a new Walmart, David Dewhirst sees exposed brick, oak floorboards, and a chance to make Knoxville unique.

He calls what he and his colleagues do “historic developing.” His group specializes in buildings built long ago. They know how to find the unique elements underneath all of the terrible 1980s office space put over them.

Although Dewhirst admits that a Walmart will probably make more money than anything he would put here, he hopes that young people today will be more interested in buildings with authenticity and “soul.”

“I mean, when you walk into Applebee’s, you never say, ‘Wow! That’s different!’” Dewhirst said.

And Kern’s certainly is different. The bakery is full of peeling pastel jade walls, almost colonial-looking indoor walls and windows, and a particularly eyecatching set of robin’s-egg-

blue stairs. And that’s just the front office.

The actual factory floor, now devoid of all of the hamburger buns Dewhirst says they used to make here, is sitting in semi-darkness.

It looks like something out of a steampunk picture, full of tangled contraptions criss-crossing the ceiling and floor. Surprisingly, about 80 percent of the original machinery has been cleared out. He pointed out the real brick floor and the behemoth oven that another bakery is coming to dismantle and use for another 100 years.

“Things were built to last back then,” said Dewhirst.

Dewhirst plans to capitalize on the nearby Urban Wilderness, a 1,000-acre forest along downtown’s south waterfront — something he’s fiercely proud of and says that one day all Knoxvillians will be as well.

A stacked-stone, 1800’sstyle tunnel on the Kern’s property leads right into the Urban Wilderness. Around 10-11 privately owned and symbiotic businesses will use different parts of the factory for things ranging from bike rentals to brewing beer; there may even be a climbing wall. Dewhirst estimates that the bakery

will cost around $10 million to renovate.

Still, the most amazing thing about the old bakery isn’t what Dewhirst is probably going to turn it into. It’s the way the imaginations of the young people he believes so strongly in run wild at every twist and turn of an abandoned factory.

For the interns as we toured the bakery, a Quonset hut became a wedding chapel, a truck loading dock beIntern Laken Scott enjoys a ride on a dolly, thanks to David Dewhirst. Photo by R. White came an amphitheater, the office above the main floor was suddenly a branchless, industrial treehouse. Some of us even clamored for the giant, dusty old hamburger bun pans he showed us. He handed them out, to be used for varying purposes in high-schoolers’ and middleschoolers’ homes.

“Now I can make all the pancakes!” one of the interns, Zoe Brookshire-Riley, exclaimed with glee.

All of this excitement, and the impromptu game of soccer started with a ball found on the factory floor, proves right what Dewhirst shared with us at the beginning of the tour, “We hope that young people will want to go to a place that looks real and authentic, and not like the strip mall down the Maddie Murphy, Emma Dale, Betty Mengesha and Zoe Brookshire-Risley ride around the old Kerns Bakery building on a dolly.

FRIDAY

By y Carol Ca aro ol Shane Shan ne One of of Knoxville’s K no lee’ most mo creative, innovative, fulfilling arts organizations is very busy right now, enthralling audiences with its current production.

Through the end of this month, the Knoxville Children’s Theatre presents “Bambi: A Life in the Woods.” By all accounts, it’s a roaring success and a very special experience.

As East Tennessee’s leading producer of stage plays for children, KCT counts “Bambi” as its 69th production. The company is also the area’s leading producer of new works, having produced 27 original plays since 2008.

“KCT’s plays are always based closely on a great work of literature,” says executive director Zack Allen, “and our ‘Bambi’ is a faithful adaptation of Felix Salten’s classic children’s book. The play was written by wellknown stage actor and playwright James DeVita, whose plays have been performed all over the country.”

About the similarities between this play and the 1942 Disney movie, Allen says, “The Disney film contained many of the elements of the book but also took many liberties. But both feature the maturation of a young deer into a stag. He makes many friends, including a friendly rabbit, and faces many dangers, mostly posed by humans. There are funny parts, thrilling parts, sad parts and all the emotions that come from living a ‘life in the woods.’ ” The play features 13 actors age 9 to 16.

Zak Terry, an eighth-grader at Bearden Middle School, plays Bambi. Formerly seen as the White Rabbit in “Alice’s Rumpus in Wonderland,” Zak counts “Bambi” as his sixth KCT appearance.

He is the son of Stacy Stewart and Scott Terry.

Ryan Cross plays the Great Prince. He attends ninth grade at Christian Academy of Knoxville, and this is his seventh performance at KCT.

Ryan is the son of Jennifer and Douglas Cross.

Ani Wederitch plays Faline, Bambi’s friend. She is a sixth-grader at Bearden Middle School. This is her third show at KCT, having most recently been seen in “Harriet the Spy.” Ani is the daughter of Jill Werderitch.

Other KCT veterans in this outstanding ensemble cast are Jake Green, a junior at West High and the son of

Jill and Craig Green; Maria Kauffman, daughter of Sarah and Chris Kauffman and a seventh-grader at West Valley Middle School; L&N STEM Academy ninth-grader Lisette Paultre, daughter of Hope and Jimmy Paultre; seventhgrader Elijah Boyd Payne and 10th-grader Kathryn Payne, the son and daughter of Kathy and Sean Payne; Ethan J. Reed, the son of Kerry Reed and a versatile eighth-grader who acts and stage manages; Ava Bradshaw, daughter of Cara and Mike Bradshaw and a fifthgrader at Bluegrass Elementary; and Caroline Dyer, a junior at South-Doyle High School, KCT veteran since 2009, and the daughter of Amie and Scott Dyer.

Making their KCT debuts are Izzy Fenech, a fifth-grader at Northshore Elementary School and the daughter of Tiffany and Jason Fenech, and seventhgrader Abigrace Kimsey, the daughter of Bethany and Troy Kimsey.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays a light heavyweight boxer who makes it to the top, only to have everything tragically taken away. He finds his salvation in a rundown gym where a retired fighter turned trainer (Forest Whitaker) gives him hope that he can climb back up and regain the trust of those he loves.

Rogero tours ITT Tech Institute

By Bonny C. Millard ITT Technical Institute offers a personal touch to its students, many of whom are returning to the classroom for the first time in years.

Director Joseph Esway said he meets with prospective students and then a school representative takes them on a campus tour and provides academic and financial aid information.

“It’s really an interesting mix and blend of people that we have here,” Esway said, adding that students come from many different stages of life.

Esway gave a tour to Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and showed her examples of how he and his staff take a personal inter-

est in students. Esway, who started last December after a 25-year career in the U.S. Marines, displays a shadow box that illustrates his military service, family photos and his degree.

“I hung up things in this office that I thought would appeal well to our demographic. We have a very big military following here. I, too, was an adult learner just like most of our students so that’s why the degree with the photo.”

Esway said that in between classes, representatives come to the break area to check in with the students.

“The representatives staying engaged with their students from start to finish is important to the relation-

ship process,” he said.

ITT, 9123 Executive Park Dr., has four programs of study: business, electronics technology, information technology, and drafting and design. Beth Stone, director of career services, said the school had 100 graduates in June and has had four graduation ceremonies each year for 25 years. The school, which operates on a quarter system, has 217 students.

During the tour, Esway showed classrooms for lectures, the electronics lab and the largest computer lab.

“We do our very best to make sure that everything is up-to-date with what they’re going to see after they graduate,” he said.

Dad explains Butterfly Fund

By Bonny C. Millard The parents of Maddie Harrill and Emily Barger found a way to honor the memory of their young daughters and provide help and support to others through The Butterfly Fund.

James Harrill, father of Maddie, spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut, about the nonprofit organiJames Harrill zation that he and his wife, Christina, and Brian and Misty Barger, parents of Emily, created not long after their daughters died.

“Both of these little girls were diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer in 2007 and passed away within about three weeks of one another in 2008,” he said.

The fund’s goal is to raise awareness and support for families and children dealing with pediatric cancer.

In early 2007, Harrill heard about the daughter of two high school friends, the

Bargers, who had been diagnosed with cancer, and later that year, the Harrills’ daughter became ill and was diagnosed with the same rare form of cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma. Emily Barger was about two and a half years older than Maddie Harrill, but the two girls became close friends.

The families leaned on each other for support, and the girls responded to their terminal illness by fully relying on God, he said.

The Butterfly Fund, under the East Tennessee Foundation, hosts three fundraisers a year: a black tie gala, a 5K run and a golf tournament. The nonprofit has raised about $600,000 since its inception, funding programs at Children’s Hospital, where the girls were treated, and similar organizations.

All four parents, who work full-time jobs, make no money from it.

“They (Maddie, 5, and Emily, 7) helped make this world a better place,” Harrill said. “We’re just very proud we’re able to maintain their legacy with these efforts. …

Both girls loved butterflies.”

‘Summer Soiree’ to celebrate upgrades at

Farragut Wine & Spirits

By Bonny C. Millard

Farragut Wine & Spirits has expanded its retail space by 4,000 square feet – to include a new growler station with eight selections of craft beers – in response to changes in state law.

Owners Robin and David Purvis are holding a “Spirited Summer Soiree” on Thursday, Aug. 6, and invite customers to come see the upgrades they’ve made.

“We added the beer cooler and the growler station.

We added a lot of non-alcohol products,” said Robin Purvis.

The growler station offers different selections, and an up-to-date list of offerings is maintained on the website.

“We’re the third largest (liquor store) in the state of Tennessee, and largest east of Nashville square footage wise,” she said. “We have close to 11,000 square foot retail.”

The store, 11238 Kingston Pike, is located in the Brooklawn Shopping Center, next door to the old Enrichment Federal CredKroger. it Union has presented dog The open house, from and cat food and a check for $500 to the Pantry for Feeding Pets.

5:30 -7:30 p.m., will give customers an opportunity to taste different wines and beers. Hors d’oeuvres will be served.

The change in Tennessee’s law allowing grocery stores to sell wine included concessions to liquor stores permitting them to sell beer and nonalcoholic goods.

The store, which opened in 2007, now has a solid selection of accessories that complement wine, liquor and beer purchases.

Wine sales in grocery stores don’t start until next

summer. The projected loss of business for liquor stores is 30 percent so the new items will give their store some flexibility, she said.

“If we were going to sell beer and keep it cold, we had to expand and put it somewhere,” David Purvis added.

“That gave us an opportunity to expand selection too because when wine goes into grocery stores, we’re going to have to be able to compete on service and selection.”

DA Charme Allen takes the cake

By Anne Hart Republicans in Knox County have plenty to be happy about, but at times they got downright rowdy when the bidding got intense at the annual picnic and cake auction sponsored by the West Knox Republican Club.

It was all in good fun, though, as GOP elected officials and candidates who donated the tasty confections tried to outbid one another for favorites.

This year’s top “contributor” to the cause was District Attorney Charme Allen, who out-bid Knox County Law Director Bud

Armstrong in a friendly battle worthy of the courtroom.

The object of their mutual affection was just half of a Litton’s red velvet cake donated by school board member Terry Hill.

Allen took the cake home and left behind $150 for the party coffers.

Rothchild Catering was jam-packed for the occasion, with elected officials and candidates filling the tables and standing along the walls to take part in the always entertaining event that has become a rite of passage for the party faithful, both those already in office and “wannabes.”

Change of heart Local woman embraces new lifestyle after heart attack Cathy Graham had just nished making Christmas Eve dinner when she got a tingle in her throat.

Her hands became cold and clammy, and she had to sit down. “I asked my husband for an aspirin,” the 62-year-old said. “I don’t know why I did that. I had no idea what was going on, but I’d never felt that way before. I know God was leading me.”

With the Christmas dinner still on the table, her husband brought her to the Parkwest Emergency Department. An electrocardiogram (EKG) revealed she was having a heart attack. “I started tearing up,” Graham said. “But the team was absolutely wonderful. It went from ve to 15 people taking care of me immediately. They all told me exactly what was happening.”

“Cathy was having a very seri-

ous heart attack,” Mitchell Weiss, MD, Parkwest cardiologist, said. “It all happened very quickly because she was so ill.”

Graham was operated on by Michael Maggart, Michael MD, cardiovas- Maggart, MD cular surgeon at Parkwest. He performed bypass surgery after which she spent three days in the Critical Care Unit.

“Everyone was so nice, from the nurses to the doctors to the rest of the staff. I was in a lot of pain because my chest was opened, but everyone was patient and supportive,” Graham said.

After returning home and receiving care from Covenant Home

What is Cardiac Rehab?

A hospitalization caused by heart disease may require a followup cardiac rehabilitation program.

At the Parkwest Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program at Fort Sanders West, patients who have experienced a cardiac event are prescribed a program of education and exercise to help their recovery and improve their odds for avoiding future visits to the hospital.

Patients are evaluated at their rst visit and usually follow a schedule of three days a week for 12 weeks. The process includes meeting with an exercise physiologist for a program speci cally tailored to the patient’s personal needs and ability.

Exercise can include treadmills, arm ergometers, stationary bicycles, elliptical machines, weights and steps. Each patient wears a heart monitor and is constantly being evaluated. The exercise program is updated as the patient progresses.

The exercises at Cardiac Rehab are created speci cally for the patient’s cardiac needs, and the addi-

tional medical monitoring creates a safer environment than at a public gym.

“Although some patients may have exercised before their cardiac events and think they know how to maintain a healthy heart, many change their minds after attending Cardiac Rehab,” Karen Kirkland, RN, Karen Kirkland, RN, CCM, ParkCCM west Cardiac Rehab case manager, said. “With our help, they learn the best way to exercise speci cally to improve the function of their hearts.”

For more information about cardiac rehabilitation and heart health visit www.TreatedWell.com, or call Parkwest Medical Center Cardiac Rehab at Fort Sanders West at (865) 531-5560.

Healthcare for three weeks, Graham began attending prescribed sessions at the Parkwest Cardiopulmonary Wellness and Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders West. She started small on the machines at the Center, which include treadmills and stationary bikes. “I was very nervous on the rst day.

It was an unknown for me,” she said. “Now I’m happy to know this will be part of my life forever.”

Graham’s post-surgery Cardiac Rehab plan included three visits a week for 12 weeks. During her visits, she was hooked to a heart monitor. Each week, her exercises were increased as she gained more strength. A physician is always on stand-by at Cardiac Rehab, in case a patient needs immediate medical assistance.

“It’s better here for those who have had serious problems, like me,” Graham said. “From the nurses to the exercise physiologists to the doctor – there’s always someone there if something happens.”

In addition to monitored exercise at Cardiac Rehab – which Graham cites as a factor for her weight loss and improved strength – all patients are required to attend educational classes on topics like improving one’s diet and living with heart disease. Graham applauds these classes as essential for her recovery. “Without those classes, your exercise would mean nothing. They’re so good. They show us exactly what we went through with models of your heart and stents,” Graham explained.

“I thought my husband and I ate really well, but I learned how we could eat better and how to change my life so this wouldn’t happen again. It was such a positive experience. I wish everyone could go through those classes.”

After Graham learned how to improve her family’s nutrition, they spent two days cleaning out their entire kitchen and donated all the items to a food bank.

As for what she eats now, she said, “the fresher the better. I’m experimenting to see how to take bad out and put good in to my recipes, and no one can taste the difference.”

While Graham didn’t have any obvious cardiac symptoms prior to her heart attack, she cites stress in her personal and professional life as a contributing factor to her lifestyle.

In the six months before Christmas Eve 2014, she gained 10 pounds Mitchell and was feeling fa- Weiss, MD tigued. “I used to want to please everyone and bake for people all the time,” she said.

“I can’t do that anymore. I have to think of myself now.”

“While stress is not a sole rea-

son for a heart attack, it can feed into a lot of things,” said Dr. Weiss, who sees Graham for follow-up appointments. “It may cause us to not pay attention to other parts of our lives, such as what we eat, or cause us to form bad habits, like smoking or not exercising. The other modi able factors of avoiding a heart attack, like lowering your blood pressure, get ignored.”

Graham’s experience in Cardiac Rehab following her heart attack has shifted her entire view on how to approach her life. “Each day is a better, stronger day. I will get back to normal, but it’s still hard to believe this happened,” she said. She now takes breaks at work and has learned methods to reduce stress and frustration, in addition to eating well and exercising frequently. She keeps a journal to record everything she eats each day. “I thank God I had the support of my family and such good people watching out for me at Parkwest and at Cardiac Rehab.

I’m so lucky and so thankful for a second chance at life.”

Better eating on a budget Improving the way you eat may sound daunting for a variety of reasons, including worrying about how your grocery bill may change.

However, when better nutrition means staying heart healthy, nding a way to shop smart can be key to avoiding cardiac problems in the future.

First, eating out at restaurants can bust both your budget and your goal to eat better. Despite ordering healthy dishes like salads and vegetable plates, these meals can add an average of 200 calories to a meal, as well as extra saturated fat, sugar and salt. The average person in the United States consumes an extra 24,000 calories a year by eating at restaurants, which averages to six or seven pounds annually. If you do plan to eat away from home, drink water instead of soda, ask for salad dressing on the side and

ask your server to box up half before it gets to the table.

Before heading to the grocery store, plan your list of healthy foods before heading out.

Check your cabinets so you don’t double buy and keep nutritional products like dried beans, brown rice and whole-grain oatmeal in stock at all times. At the store, stick to your list. Stay at the outer edges of the store, where the fresh vegetables, dairy and meat are. When shopping for fruits and vegetables, stick to those in season and only buy what you need.

Classes on nutrition at the Parkwest Cardiopulmonary Wellness and Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders West are open to the public at all times. For information on these classes, call (865) 531-5560.
