FIRST WORDS

History’s hidden truths

February 1, 2017

KMS kicks off Spirit Week

By ReneĂŠ Kesler “Don’t Turn On the Lights: History’s Unwritten Storiesâ€? is my feeble attempt to expose to a new generation the voices of our ancestors, those eyewitnesses Renee Kesler to a bitter past speaking uncensored truths. “They told us not to have no light on! And we didn’t,â€? stated Mary Etter, the widow of Joe Etter, a veteran soldier who fought in the Spanish American War of 1898, and was killed during the race riot in Knoxville.

On Aug. 30, 1919, during a time when race riots were erupting all across the nation, the race relations climate in Knoxville took a bloody turn and the city became one of the “Red Summer� cities. Maurice Mays, a handsome black man born around 1887, was accused of murdering a white woman, and Knoxville erupted in violence. The National Guard was summoned to maintain law and order. During this time, soldiers armed with machine guns shot and killed Joe Etter as he tried to take a machine gun from one of the soldiers.

In 1979, in her own words, Mary Etter described the nightmare she endured to Anne Wilson, program coordinator of an oral history project at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center. Here is an excerpt from that interview: Ms. Etter, your husband was killed in 1919 wasn’t he?

Yes, he was.

How was he killed?

Well, he was killed in the race riot what they had here.

Can you tell us what the race riot was?

Well, it was kind of over ‌ well, they said a colored man killed a white woman and that’s what started it out.

Ms. Etter, what was the name of that black man?

Let’s see ‌ Morris Mays, Morris Mays they say killed a white woman!

By Nancy Anderson A left turn lane to Hardin Valley Road from Steele Road will be built to alleviate traffic congestion when the new Hardin Valley Middle School opens in August 2018. That’s the word from John John Sexton Sexton, Knox County transportation engineer, who spoke last week to the District 6 Democratic Club at Karns Public Library.

Sexton fielded questions regarding school zone sidewalks, saying new subdivision construction within the School Parental Responsibility Zone (1.5 miles from the school to which kids are assigned) requires sidewalk access so kids and parents can walk to school. New federally-funded roadwork also requires a sidewalk. “We’ll be adding another left turn lane to southbound Steele Road at Hardin Valley Road. It has a single right and single left turn lane at the moment. Most of the traffic turns left to go back toward Pellissippi Parkway, so we’ll be adding a second left turn there.

Then adding the turn lanes into the elementary school and the new middle school. “The area will still be congested as is every school zone, but the left turn lane will help alleviate that greatly.�

Towering puppets take art to streets Rachel Milford graduated from Farragut High School in 2004. By 2008 she was living in Olympia, Wash., when she found herself in a parade that changed her life.

That’s where she first saw the giant creatures that she would fall in love with – humongous, colorful, playful puppets that towered over her at 12 and 14 feet tall – and she hasn’t been able to take her eye off them since.

Milford says she was participating in the “Procession of the Species,” a large spring community arts parade that invites the community to make costumes, masks and giant puppets and celebrate their connections with one another and the natural world.

Years later and back in Knoxville, she and her puppeteering partner, Knoxville resident Shelagh Leutwiler, went all in for puppets by forming the Cattywampus Puppet Council in 2014.

They have put on children’s puppet shows onstage in Market Square for the last two years, sometimes getting some help from Milford’s husband, Matt Ellison.

Now they’re bringing their giant puppets to the Dogwood Arts Festival in a

new way. The nonprofit recently was awarded a prestigious Burning Man Global Art Grant to help produce the Appalachian Puppet Pageant, a puppet parade, in the 2017 Dogwood Arts Festival, now set for Saturday, April 29. The tentative parade start time is noon, Milford says. The starting point is still being planned, but the parade will culminate in Market Square. The parade is free and open to all interested participants.

“The parade will bring together members of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate the ecology and culture of the region through visual and performance art,” Milford says.

Individuals, classrooms, Scout troops, etc., can sign up to walk in the parade.

Volunteers can carry a small puppet of their own, or wear a costume or mask or even butterfly wings. Milford and Leutwiler have some of their own small puppets to lend, but they are helping the community join in the fun by putting on free puppet-making workshops.

Interest has been so overwhelming that the first two workshops have reached capacity, but an additional workshop has been added

Hidden truths When the interviewer asked Ms. Etter to tell how she found out about her husband’s death, she talked in exquisite detail about the events of that night. She described how a man from the white-owned undertaker parlor located on Vine and Gay Street summoned her to come and identify the body.

She noted that when she got there, “It looked to me like there’s men but theys covered up. I went to go and pull the covers and they said no that’s not for you to look at. So they took me to where he’s at. But there’s a lot of men killed up alright.” After identifying her husband,

for March 9 at the Muse Knoxville for interested individuals and community groups.

“Right now we’re focused on making larger street puppets,” Milford says, “including some giant woodpeckers, black bears and a variety of other critters. One of our most famous puppets around town is our giant Dolly Parton. She is about 14 feet tall and takes three people to operate.”

Milford says the giant puppet-making process starts with building an armature (a support system) to sculpt the puppet on.

Then sculpting clay is added with four to six layers of brown bags and papier mache on top. Resources for learning how to build giant puppets for the parade can also be found on the Cattywampus Puppet Council website.

Volunteers are needed for the day of the parade, as well as donations of supplies and financial support.

Information about donating or getting involved with the parade is available on the group’s website at https:// cattywampuspuppetcouncil.com/appalachian-puppet-pageant/.

Prager’s star on the rise

By Margie Hagen Less than four years ago, Ben Prager decided to take a choral class at Hardin Valley Academy as a way to fulfill his fine arts requirement. Little did he imagine that he would love the class and go on to excel in the field.

Students at HVA need one fine arts credit to graduate; when Prager graduates this spring, he will have 16 fine arts credits on his transcript. His hard work paid off in January when he won the top honor for male actor in the 2017 Bijou Awards competition.

In its fifth year, the Bijou Awards program is the brainchild of Jay Apking, a longtime theater supporter, and Larsen Jay, a former president of the Bijou board of directors. They envisioned it as a way to encourage young artists by sponsoring an arts competition.

Participation and attendance have been growing every year, with 90 students receiving callbacks and 25 finalists selected.

Performing a monologue titled “The 26-year-old

Bar Mitzvah Boy,” Prager wowed the judges playing a young man pleading with his ex-fianceé to reconsider him. She wants a “grown-up man,” so he plans a second bar mitzvah, thinking this one will transform him into becoming the man she desires.

Taken from the play “Goodbye Charles” by Gabriel Davis, the monologue requires a range of emotions. “There are comedic moments and also very serious moments,” says Prager.

Besides the title, Prager received a $1,000 prize along with a $500 award to his school’s fine arts program. His plans for the money he won? “Top choir members from Hardin Valley, Farragut and Powell are taking a trip to New York City over spring break and this will help pay for that,” he says.

Students will immerse themselves in theater culture, going to Broadway plays and visiting Radio City Music Hall, the Apollo Theater and the Metropolitan Opera House. “It’s a dream come true,” says

Ben Prager helped design this caterpillar costume for the Hardin Valley Academy theater production “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” last December.

Modest about his achievement, Prager credits choir director Teresa Scoggins with guiding him.

Scoggins had similar praise for Prager. “Ben is a wonderful young man willing to work hard, take notes and get better. This is not something you always find in young people of his age. I am so proud of him.”

In addition, Prager has a supportive family. “My parents are so happy and proud

of me, so I want to thank them, too,” said Prager, adding, “Principal Sallee Reynolds and all the administration deserve recognition for their help.”

Prager describes his experience at the Bijou as “one of those moments I will never forget. It was an honor to win, and an honor to meet so many other talented contestants.”

Prager will next appear in the HVA production of “Hairspray,” April 21-23.

Ascension church to present an evening of solo Bach

He will purify But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

(Malachi 3: 2-3 NRSV) February, I discovered while researching material for this column, comes from the Latin “to purify.”

The early Romans held religious rites to purify themselves for festivals that would be held at the start of the New Year.

Their New Year began in March. Around 690 BC, Numa Pompilius turned a period of celebration at the end of the year into a month of its own, named after the festival Februa.

(It sounds to me sort of like Lent – a time of fasting and purification before an important holy day!)

So what should we do to purify ourselves? Well, we are a month away from Ash Wednesday, so we have some time to consider the matter. But it might behoove us to do some warm-up exercises.

Maybe we should spend time reading Scripture. Take a look at

FAITH NOTES

Lynn Pitts

some lesser visited books (Malachi, maybe, or Habakkuk?); there is good stuff there! Read the Beatitudes (Matthew 5: 3-11) and try to live up to them!

Remember, we should purify ourselves before trying to lead others to a closer walk with God. Women particularly will enjoy the Book of Ruth, a love story for the ages. Men will profit from reading the Letter of James in the New Testament, a social gospel, to be sure, and one that calls on the men of the church family to help the pastor care for the flock.

And pray!!!

By Carol Z. Shane In Gail Godwin’s novel “The Finishing School,” one of the characters recalls her grandfather referring to his favorite composer as “J. Sanity Bach.” Indeed, the structured, sublime music of the Baroque master tends to calm our minds and our souls, and on Monday, Feb. 6, you can partake of some of that sonic sanity when the Episcopal Church of the Ascension presents “Music of J.S. Bach: Three Unaccompanied Partitas and Sonatas.”

Part of the Friends of Music and the Arts series, the concert features Knoxville Symphony Orchestra violinists Sean Claire and Sarah Barker Ringer and the orchestra’s assistant concertmaster Gordon Tsai. Each performing a solo piece, they’ll make the most of Ascension’s acoustically magnificent sanctuary – a favorite performance venue for musicians all over Knoxville.

“For me, unaccompanied Bach is the most demanding and satisfying music there is for solo violin,”

KSO violinists Gordon Tsai, Sean Claire and Sarah Barker Ringer will present solo music of Bach on Monday, Feb. 6. Photos submitted says Ringer. “It never gets old, because there’s always another way to interpret it, and fresh ways to hear it.

Even though it’s extremely structured music, it also has deep emotional content and a deeply spiritual and meditative quality. The space at Ascension is really perfect for this music, too.”

James Garvey, music director and organist at Ascension, says he is pleased to give otherwise “rank and file” KSO violinists an opportunity to shine. “Sarah is a parishioner here. She never gets a chance to prepare this type of repertoire; she’s always got her nose to the grindstone learning her

But layering doesn’t have to be boring and practical.

Fashion expert Lee Ann Hasemeyer showed a group of women at the South Knoxville Senior Center how clothing layers can add style and personality, not just warmth.

Hasemeyer, whose day job is with Always Best Care Senior Services, used to work in retail clothing.

Last week, she noted that in public, we are always representing something, whether it’s a business or a group or simply ourselves, so it’s important to make a good impression with our attire.

Looking at her audience, she said, “I feel like I’m preaching to the choir here. … You all look great.”

The attendees seemed to have followed Hasemeyer’s first piece of advice: Find your own style. But she suggested checking out magazines with layouts of complete looks for more ideas.

Hasemeyer chuckled as she recalled an incident in which a woman at a store asked for her help choosing

She said wide scarves can double as a wrap indoors, for a little extra warmth.

Capes are also useful pieces in an East Tennessee wardrobe.

Blue jeans and white tops are a classic look that can be dressed up or down with scarves and other accessories.

Her advice for jewelry was to match the weather.

Heavier pieces are good for winter, lighter ones for summer. Pay attention to clothing necklines in choosing necklaces, avoiding clutter and using different lengths and bulk based on the fabric.

drapes because she looked “put together.”

She said that the current trend of longer sweaters was appropriate for women over 50, with leggings, jeggings and skinny jeans and cute boots to finish the look.

With some basic outfits spread upon a table, Hasemeyer went to work to demonstrate the important concept of contrast, which can encompass light and dark, patterns, colors and textures. She warned against monochromatic attire, encouraging the use of items that “blend” rather than “match.”

Jackets, vests and scarves are all useful in providing warm layers, but they also can help with contrast, she said. She especially pushed scarves; she likes to start

World ‘needs Rotary more than ever’

By Tom King Many Knoxville Rotarians know Rotary International President John F. Germ of Chattanooga on a firstname basis.

He was in Tom King town just a few weeks ago for District 6780’s ultra-successful Million Dollar Dinner at Cherokee Country Club that John Germ raised in excess of $3 million.

Germ is a man of wisdom and deep personal warmth, and in these discordant and confused times in which we live, wisdom is welcomed.

Rotary’s monthly magazine always begins with the president’s message. Here are some words of wisdom in Germ’s message to Rotarians throughout the world in the February issue: “… The world needs Rotary more than ever. It needs our courage, our optimism, and our idealism.

It needs the voice of tolerance, cooperation, and hope that we can offer. It needs the example of an organization that has proven that the citizens of all countries can

work together successfully, gladly, and in friendship.”

Germ’s theme this year is “Rotary Serving Humanity” and it’s a powerful message!

■■ ‘Rotary: Making a

Difference’

Every president of Rotary International selects a theme for his or her presidential year, and presidentelect Ian H.S. Riseley’s theme for 2017-18 is “Rotary: Making a Difference.”

Knoxville’s seven clubs will continue their collective focus on “Making a Difference” in our community next year. Riseley, an Australian, says that protecting the environment and curbing climate change are essential to Rotary’s goal of sustainable service. He challenged every Rotary club to make a difference by planting a tree for each of its members between the start of the Rotary year on July 1, 2017 and Earth Day on April 22, 2018. Two other areas of focus he identified were recruiting more female members and members under the age of 40.

Karns/Hardin Valley Shopper news • February 1, 2017 • A-7

Winter workouts, then and now Winter workouts are under way at Tennessee – famous new strength and conditioning coach, new goals, positive attitudes, favorable conditions.

Motivation is firmly in place. Players need only review the Vandy video to conclude the need for improvement.

The Vols have great facilities. Official description is state of the art. Modern machines are or were all around. Ambiance is the stuff of champions. Refreshments are available.

The team will strive to get stronger and quicker.

One plan will not fit all.

Individuals, as Butch likes to say, will have individual programs designed to meet their needs. Rock Gullickson has a book of plans. He may have a scientific formula for reducing injuries. This is critical.

The winter aspect of college football is completely different from the good old days. Robert R. Neyland suggested that players not get fat in the off-season, what there was of it. His idea of the lull between storms was a couple of weeks of fishing in Florida.

Early spring practice was vigorous.

Under the guidance of Bowden Wyatt, football

Marvin West

players were encouraged to stay in shape. They could lift weights or participate in racquetball or handball.

They could play intramural basketball or sign up for a volunteer, noncredit physical education class.

Real live winter workouts arrived with young coach Doug Dickey. He had learned the value as an assistant coach at Arkansas.

He was surprised that UT had nothing similar.

Dickey told the story of sending forth a search committee to find a place for workouts. It didn’t find much. There was running room at Dean Planters Tobacco Warehouse. Weather permitting, there were open spaces at the agriculture campus.

The report mentioned the possibility of the northwest corner of Neyland Stadium, under Section X. It was described as unsuitable, dirty, drab and dreary, space once used for storage.

Dickey inspected it. He said the room looked like

something left over from the Civil War, except dusty cobwebs appeared older.

The coach could have made it better. He made it worse. He installed old mats on the floor and hung a heavy rope from on high.

Those who thought they wanted to be on his football team were going to do agility drills, wrestle, fight and scratch as if their life depended on it and then climb that blasted rope, hand over hand, until they bumped their head on the concrete ceiling.

Center Bob Johnson remembers a one-on-one war, Vols on opposite sides of the mat, no rules, do anything you want to get to the other side.

Tempo was frantic for other drills, run here, jump there! Down on the mat, up on your feet, seat roll right, jump up again, forward tumble. Everywhere a player looked or landed, there was another assistant coach yelling for more speed and greater effort.

Dickey said some players were overcome by the setting and spirited exercises and lost their lunch. He admitted the smell was terrible. One of his most dramatic terms described the winter workout scene: “A stinking mess.”

Joe Graham, sophomore guard, landed right in the middle of it.

There wasn’t room under Section X for all players.

There were groups with different times to report. Joe was in the third group.

“We arrived to the sound and smell of some of the guys throwing up. In the middle of the winter, the room seemed nearly steamy.

Everybody was sweating. I don’t remember how long we worked but it seemed forever.”

Dewey Warren was there.

The scene matched his imagination of Marine boot camp, only worse.

“Under Section X was like a dungeon, dark and smelly, the worst place I’ve ever been.”

Bert Ackermann recalls that complaints to Coach Dickey went unheeded.

Robbie Franklin said there were more losses than lunches.

“We lost several teammates that first winter.”

Ackermann said it was a special learning experience.

“It was the foundation for the great comeback of Tennessee football under Doug Dickey.”

Now would be a good time for a great comeback under Butch Jones.

Knox to prosecute aggravated animal cruelty A Corryton man has been charged with killing two neighborhood dogs on Thanksgiving morning and faces two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.

Billy C. Mounger Jr. is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Feb. 23 in Criminal Sessions Billy C. Court. UnMounger Jr. like a “simple” animal cruelty case, which is a misdemeanor, aggravated cruelty is a Class E felony, punishable by one to six years in prison and a fine of up to $3,000.

“We don’t see a lot of these cases,” said Sean McDermott, public information officer with the Knox County District Attorney General’s office. “We only had one case brought last

Betty Bean year in criminal court.”

That’s because law defines aggravated cruelty as an act committed “in a depraved and sadistic manner,” which creates a high threshold for the prosecution to prove. The case brought last year is scheduled for trial in March.

Jethro and JuJu belonged to Frances Thompson and her husband, Eric Schafferman.

Thompson sounded the alert on her Facebook page Thanksgiving Day after the dogs didn’t return from their morning run.

“Jethro (blond) and Juju (black) are missing from the Wood Road area in Gibbs/Corryton. Left home

Thanksgiving morning without breakfast. Both are friendly and have collars with names and our phone number. Please call or message me if you have seen them. Please share.”

The warrant says that Mounger shot the dogs “with aggravated cruelty and no justifiable purpose,” dragged their bodies out of the woods, loaded them into his pickup truck and drove to Irwin Road and dumped them. When found, their collars had been removed.

Mounger also was charged with violating a state law requiring “big game” hunters to wear daylight fluorescent orange.

Jethro, whom Thompson describes as a big, goofy Lab/boxer mix, had lived with the family for a year.

Juju, who was black with a notch bitten out of one of her big pointy ears, was adopted from a friend who

could no longer give her the attention she needed. There were two other dogs in the household, as well.

“This broke our hearts,” Thompson said. “It broke our hearts.

“Eric and I both just sort of held each other and cried for a long time. He goes into a shell and gets real quiet. I cried every night. Jethro’s probably the most joybringing dog we ever had.”

McDermott said his office sees three or four misdemeanor cases of animal cruelty per week in Sessions Court. Most of the cases involve dogs, followed closely by horses. Cats come in third, and are typically victims of hoarding situations.

Under a state law that went into effect last year, the names of those convicted of aggravated animal abuse will be recorded on a registry, and will remain there for two years.

last words Davenport shreds diversity Those who had worried that the first female chancellor at UTK, Beverly Davenport, would be serious about diversity can rest easy based on her appointments to the first significant committee she named – the search committee for the new athletic director Davenport to replace Dave Hart. She shredded diversity with her six appointments.

The six include only one woman and no AfricanAmericans, but two male trustees and the brother of a third trustee who is the chair of the UT board.

Two are neighbors who live three houses apart on Lyons View Pike in West Knoxville on either side of the neglected historic UT-owned Williams House.

The woman is Donna Thomas, who works for Hart and will help choose the person she will be working for.

Stunning that no African-American serves on this search effort given that a large number of the players for basketball and football are AfricanAmerican. Women make up almost half of the total UT athletic program, not to mention the Title IX issues UT has paid millions to go away, but only one of the six is female and she has an acute conflict of interest.

The best-known member is obviously Peyton Manning. This past weekend he made news by speaking to the GOP Congressional meeting in Philadelphia, along with President Donald Trump. There are several well-known UT female athletes such as Candace Parker, Chamique Holdsclaw, Semeka Randall and Tamika Catchings who maintain ties to UTK and could serve along with Manning.

The truth is, Davenport’s committee includes members of great ability and significant achievements.

Victor Ashe

They contribute to our civic society in many ways.

But they have been placed in an unfortunate situation that could be resolved easily by expanding the committee. It does not look good when half of a committee are trustees or related to a trustee.

Two of these members helped recruit Derek Dooley to UT as football coach.

We all know how well that worked out. Mistakes can be made, even by wellknown, respected people.

What is also remarkable and exceptionally inconsistent about this committee is the obvious desire for the UT board of trustees to own it. On paper and in theory the campus athletic director reports to Chancellor Davenport. The board of trustees just approved her hiring as chancellor. No way she will turn down or even question the finalist this committee picks given who is on it.

New trustees are always told that they should not micromanage the university, just as the Legislature is told the same. However, here Davenport has basically turned over the hiring of the new AD to the people who run the board. Will she do the same when she names the search committee for a new provost?

So why did Davenport do this?

It is hard to come up with an answer on this.

However, it is not too late to expand the search committee to give proper representation to all. Hopefully, UT will move to remedy this.

■■ Bob Clement, former U.S. representative and TVA director, is out with a book on his life titled “Presidents, Kings and Convicts.”

It starts with growing up in the Governor’s Residence.

Not clear whether Clement will do a book signing here in Knoxville.

Putting 5,430 kids into 6,550 spaces: Knox County flunks math Numbers revealed last week show Knox County Schools will have 5,430 kids for 6,550 middle school spaces in eight schools in 2018 when the new middle school opens at Gibbs.

The challenge: Finding enough kids to populate Gibbs Middle School without wrecking Holston.

Here’s one model: Gibbs: Pull 100-200 from Halls, aligning the middle and high school zones. Take whatever kids come out of Gibbs and Corryton elementary schools.

That will leave Gibbs Middle short to start, but folks swear growth will follow the school construction. (They

Sandra Clark might have been better off extending sewer lines. Time will tell.)

Leave Gresham and Whittle Springs alone. Trim enrollment at South-Doyle by using the river as its boundary. Kids on the east side would attend Vine or Holston.

Holston: Rezone 200 from Carter to Holston.

Currently, the Carter zone includes Holston Hills, a

stone’s throw to Holston Middle.

This solves the middle school dilemma without closing a school. A more fiscally sound model would convert all or some of Vine to headquarters for the central office.

“Be creative,” said Cynthia Finch. “Open a school

at Gibbs for the people who live there. Don’t zone anybody. Find other uses (for the empty spaces).”

We’re running out of time for creativity. The number crunchers might look at a combined high and middle school at Holston. One thing’s for sure – we won’t all live happily ever after.

One of the teams from Premier Athletics in Knoxville wows the crowds at the Knoxville Grand Championship competition on Saturday.

All smiles after their competitive routine are Miliana Espiritu, Presley Scarbrough and Makiyah Hancock, members of the Knoxville Twisters Vortex.

Weekend for cheers

By Sherri Gardner Howell

Just for fun, says Halli Archer, as she demonstrates a back tuck.

There was much to cheer about in Knoxville this past weekend. The Evergreen Ball raised funds for Friends of the Smokies. “42nd Street” had Broadway at the Tennessee ticket-holders singing “We’re in the Money.”

Chocolatefest was raising funds for Ronald McDonald House at the Convention Center. Because I have no willpower, my subconscious switched my calendar entry on Chocolatefest from end-

ing at 4 p.m. to starting at 4 p.m. At 4:01, there wasn’t an ant-sized crumb of chocolate left at the convention center.

What was still in full swing, however, was Cheersport’s Knoxville Grand Championship for kids of all ages, representing teams from Tuscaloosa, Ala., to Barbourville, Ky. That’s where the cheering – and jumping and twisting and flying – was in full throttle.

The event was an all-day affair for the 90-plus teams, including 19 teams representing four training clubs in Knoxville. Competing were teams from Premier Athletics, Knoxville Twisters, Farragut and Cheerville Athletics.

The athleticism of these youngsters is impressive; the stunts, heart stopping.

Brooke Pohrivchak does a cartwheel as she waits for judging results.

Beyond the glitter and glam were youngsters having a really fun Saturday while showcasing their skills.

Cheersport has seen phenomenal growth. I wanted to call the corporate office just because I love the toll-free number: 888-READY-OK.

Laiken Lawson gets in on the “resting period” fun as the girls from Knoxville Twisters Vortex wait for winners to be announced. Photos by Sherri Gardner Howell

It can be a hard life for siblings at all-day cheering events, but Dipping Dots help, says Josh Pohrivchak, with father Nik. Josh is a student at Ritta Elementary.

In the waiting area at the Knoxville Convention Center, Brooke Pohrivchak and Halli Archer, from one of the Knoxville Twister Vortex teams, strike a pose, as Carolyn Pohrivchak lends support.

Both girls are students at Ritta Elementary.

A team from Premier Athletics watches and cheers as a sister squad takes the stage at Cheersport’s Knoxville Grand Championship.

One mom said call this photo “Technology comes to cheer competition.” As soon as a camera flash goes off, however, the teenagers strike a pose! From left are Harper Kirby, Caroline Elliott, Carly Minhinnett and Sydney Hollingsworth, all of Halls.
