FIRST WORDS

Dividing the pie

By Lauren Hopson A wise teacher from Bearden High School once said (actually just last week), “Parents don’t withhold food from one of their children, and then blame the other undernourished Hopson child for greedily demanding too much.�

That is exactly the situation we have in Knox County, however. Last week, the primary headline floating around the local media outlets involved how teachers were getting raises, but an entire special education department, that of Assistive Technology, which aids some of our most vulnerable students, was getting cut.

In regard to a budget with pages of line items, nothing else was mentioned in relation to the AT program’s demise, just the issue of teacher raises.

Knox County ranks third in the state in fiscal capacity to pay for its school system, but 39th in average teacher pay.

That is actually a step up from 45th last year. Thanks to a 3 percent raise, there are only 18 other districts just in East Tennessee that pay better this year, instead of 19.

Three years ago, the Knox County Board of Education made a commitment to the educators of Knox County to make their pay competitive with other school districts in Tennessee. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Knox County Education Association, KCS agreed to raise teacher pay by 4 percent a year, on just the portion of salary funded locally, until 2020.

This was agreed upon by both negotiating parties as an attempt to bring pay in line with the top 20 districts in the state and attract and retain the very best teachers for our students.

How many times has Knox County Schools met this financial obligation in the last three years? None. Zero.

Zilch. Granted, our previous superintendent took great liberty with the “if funds are available� clause and decided that money for consultants, six-figure-making Broad Academy Fellows for Central Office, funds for the Leadership Academy, layers of supervisors, laptops for 9-year-olds, and his own car allowance and raise were important enough to ignore the plan outlined in a legal document.

‘Eggapalooza’ big hit at Karns High School

By Nancy Anderson More than 1,000 kids and adults gathered at Karns High School for the inaugural Eggapalooza Easter egg hunt sponsored by Fellowship Church Pellissippi on Saturday, April 15.

Kids were treated to carnival games from Easter Egg Bowling to Carrot Corn Hole

to face-painting sponsored by Karns High School groups such as the football team, cheerleaders and Leadership Team.

More than 6,000 eggs were “hidden� among three different fields at the high school, allowing for division of age groups between preschoolers and elementary age kids and giving each age group equal opportunity.

After carnival games and Easter egg hunting, the first 500 children were treated to a hot dog sack lunch free of charge. “This is just something the church wanted to do for the community, something fun for the whole family,� said Lead Pastor Kyle Landis.

With the Tuskegee Airmen

Local man looks back at changing times

By Betty Bean One of the things Chester Bragg remembers about Dec. 7, 1941, was wondering what was happening to his brother Raymond. Chester was only 15, and had no clue that Pearl Harbor would begin something so big that it would swoop him up three years later and land him with one of the most famous fighting units in American history. “I didn’t think it would last long enough to get me,� said Chester Bragg, who is 90. “But I got drafted. The Army turned me down, the Navy turned me down, the Marines. Everybody wanted big men, and I was a little man, 130 pounds.

That left me to the Air Force.�

The family finally heard from Raymond, who survived but was never able to leave Pearl Harbor behind. “Raymond suffered,� Chester said. “He never did get over that, he never did. He was shell shocked, seeing all that killing; some of his buddies got killed. He drew disability from the Veterans

Administration and never did really get back to himself.�

He was a student at Nelson Merry High School in Jefferson County in 1941, and moved to Knoxville the following year. Everybody was worried about Adolf Hitler. “I heard he was going to conquer the world – the whole world, the United States and all. He and Japan got together and they were going to whip us. He’d done whipped everybody in Europe except Russia, and that’s where he made his mistake. He overran his supply line because he was moving too fast‌â€?

After basic training at Fort Benning, Chester was sent to Texas and then to Tuskegee, Ala. No draftee had many choices, and Chester’s were limited by his race. “You didn’t have no options. You went to where all the Blacks were stationed, and that was Tuskegee, where they had an Air Force base.

We got there in a group and they put us all in barracks‌�

Chester was assigned to be a supply clerk for the Tuskegee Air-

News from Concord Christian School

Freshman Callie Walmsley shows her painting that won first place in an art contest sponsored by Tennessee Right to Life.

Middle school art teacher Brandon McBath shows a painting by eighth grader Elle Hoytt that won first place in the Farragut Town Hall Middle School Juried Art Show on Feb. 20

Mrs. Becky Frazer, high school art teacher, oversees students making designs for skateboards.

Elementary school art teacher Krista Gaddis shows pictures that elementary school students executed based on the work of Peter Max.

Stellar fine arts program spurs creativity, talent in students

By Kelly Norrell Fine art is an integral part of a Concord Christian School education, with kindergarteners learning skills they will need in high school art classes.

High school students train for collegiate level programs and participate in frequent art competitions.

“Every grade learns the elements of art – line, shape, value, texture, form and space – and the principles of design. With each year, it gets more advanced,” said elementary art teacher Krista Gaddis. Her kindergarten students are weaving kente cloths as part of a study on Africa.

And high school students were busy recently creating designs for skateboard decks. “First they must make 10 thumbnail sketches. Then they paint a design using acrylics that shows movement,” said Becky Fraser, high school art teacher.

A culture of creativity is thriving at CCS.

“I really want them to know they can do things,” said middle school art teacher Brandon McBath, who just finished a unit on linoleum block printing with his seventh graders. He displayed a block print of Ursula the sea witch made by Madison Foshie, inspired by the school’s recent production of “The Little Mermaid.”

“If they want to make a cartoon, they can do it. If they want to make a painting, they can do it,” said McBath.

He added: “There is an emphasis here.

As God created us, we want to create, because we are made in God’s image.

We desire to do that.”

A Biblical worldview is integral to the school’s art program, the teachers said. “Whatever project we do, we bring in Scripture so they can see God in whatever they do,” said Fraser.

CCS Honors art student Noah Marlowe will study art next year at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Junior Alysda McHale has been accepted to attend the Governor’s

art room has specialized tables that fold up to easels, industry standard, adjustable-height studio chairs, two kilns and an interactive Smart Board.

Elementary, middle and high school students are freed from having to buy supplies or art mediums. The school furnishes them all.

Excellent teachers are hired to be both artists and educators. They work together, using a comprehensive, integrated art curriculum and a rubricbased grading system that communicates expectations around each task.

The result is an atmosphere of confidence and comfort.

“Some students are more talented than others artistically. That is how it’s going to go. We base grades on a rubric system, a mastery of technique and composition, that allows students to be creative without fear,” said McBath.

Chinese student Lesley Lin, who has been at CCS for two years, had never studied art before coming to Knoxville.

Her work now, which includes painting and sculpture, sparkles for its creativity and expression.

“I really enjoy it in here. I can relax and do whatever I want,” she said.

We have a lot of pressure in school.

But in art class, we can be more relaxed and enjoy art.”

Concord Christian hosts art shows

By Kelly Norrell

‘The Little Mermaid’ showcases Concord Christian talent Concord’s Spring production of “The Little Mermaid” was a huge success.

“I’m blown away by the talent level of our students! It was no surprise that all three shows were sold out. Well done cast & crew!” remarked Mark Kelly, Head of School.

Theatre Arts teacher and director, Christi Watson shares the impact the production made on the cast. “One of the most powerful tools God blesses us with is the ability to speak. In Disney’s musical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Little Mermaid,’ Ariel gives up her voice to an evil force. As we rehearsed for this production, the cast has had wonderful conversations on the ways in which Satan tempts us to give up our voice.

School for the Arts this summer.

The works of three Concord students, Marlowe, McHale and Lesley Lin, 17, were accepted to the juried East Tennessee Regional Art Show at the Knoxville Museum of Art. This year, the show exhibited the work of only 323 middle and high school students, selected from more than 1,000 entries.

A painting by ninth grader Callie Walmsley, 16, won first prize in an art contest sponsored by Tennessee Right to Life. Her acrylic painting of a baby holding an adult’s hand features the words, “I’m a life, not a choice.”

A painting by eighth grader Elle Hoytt won first place in the Farragut Town Hall Middle School Juried Art Show on Feb. 20. The picture of her Doberman is a grid painting that she did in her art class.

And 30 pieces of art made by elementary school students were accepted in the Farragut Intermediate School Art Show.

A lot of things set the CCS fine arts program apart.

One is generous funding for art supplies and equipment from the Fay W. Boston Art Foundation. When Mrs. Boston, an art educator, died, her family made a generous endowment to the CCS art department. Consequently, the

“Anytime we withhold our gifts and talents from the Lord out of fear, we give up our voice. Anytime we speak negatively about someone behind their back, we give up our voice. Anytime we refuse to speak up on behalf of the ‘least of these,’ we give up our voice.

Anytime our actions don’t match up with what we say we believe, we give up our voice. Ariel’s Father, King Triton is willing to become weak in order to set his daughter free.

“Praise God for the gift of Jesus, who came to Earth in the form of a fragile human and allowed others to nail him to a cross, in order that we might be free! Praise God that our enemy was defeated for good when Jesus beat death for us!”

Concord Christian School will host two art shows displaying the work of its students. Both are free and open to the public.

The Elementary Art Show will be 4:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 27.

The Middle School and High School Art show will be 4:30 p.m. Friday May 5- 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 12.

Cherokee Caverns two simultaneous Easter egg hunts in the area, but the afternoon brought a crowd of 300 to enjoy the entertainment, taking photos with superheroes, petting goats and chickens from Friendly Farms Petting Zoo and exploring the cave.

“It was one of the best events we’ve ever had with the live entertainment and vendors,” said Cherokee Caverns volunteer Dana Whidby.

“It was a good family day. It went so well we’re definitely

going to do it again next year.

We just want to do anything we can to share the cave with the community and to raise money to keep the doors open. After all, it is Knoxville’s hidden treasure.”

The next attraction at the Historic Cherokee Caverns is movie night on May 13 when “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” will be shown at 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

By the time he finished training, the war was nearly over in Europe. The Airmen would have been deployed to Japan if Harry S. Truman hadn’t opted to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Chester was glad he didn’t have to go, but was affected by the destruction unleashed on the Japanese.

“The President warned Japan, threw notes out of planes and told them what he was going to do if they didn’t surrender. They didn’t believe him. All I know is how powerful it was. That first one killed more than 180,000 people – babies, women, everybody. The second one was more powerful than the first one, and Japan gave up.

“I came home after that.”

Chester got some vocational training and opened a shoe shop for a while.

Dividing the pie When families create their own budgets, the financial obligations to the necessities must be met first. Often, those are in the form of contractual obligations. Mortgages, car payments, and utility bills, that one has committed to pay, come before the luxury items. If not, those basic necessities, like experienced teachers, have a curious way of disappearing. Honoring the MOU and the Independent Education Plan (IEP) of our special needs students are both

obligations we can’t afford to neglect.

Just this week, SCORE, the State Consortium on Reforming Education, sent out motivational letters and pencils as a way to promote the virtues of the TN Ready Test to which our children will be subjected in the coming weeks. Where is the media outcry about this?

Maybe SCORE could have helped fund Assistive Technology Programs instead.

Maybe the Haslams could have kicked in some cash for the AT positions instead

of planning to pay for new turf on every football field in the county. Maybe we all need to do a better job examining our budgets, prioritizing the necessities over the fluff, and holding our local government accountable for doing the same.

Seventeen Farragut High School students will perform a side-by-side concert with members of the Knoxville Symphony on Thursday, April 27, at 7 p.m. at Farragut High School. Sponsored by Sandra Powell Emond, this concert is free to attend and open to the public; no tickets are required.

Each year, members of the KSO rehearse and perform with high school orchestral programs. This year’s concert will feature music of Aaron Copland, Benjamin Britten and Brian Balmages, conducted by KSO Resident Conductor James Fellenbaum.

The Farragut High School Orchestra is directed by Michelle Clupper.

The mission of the KSO is to reach East Tennessee audiences of all ages by providing excellence in musical performance and education programs. This unique, hands-on musical experience provides an opportunity for young musicians still learning their instrument to sit side-by-side with a professional

musician and share a music stand for two rehearsals and one performance.

“Part of my job as the conductor is to provide the students with a performance experience that is both enjoyable and challenging; the KSO players provide the professional quality—literally right next to them—and interpretation of the music.

It just so happens that the Farragut High School Orchestra is advanced enough to perform Benjamin Britten’s ‘Simple Symphony’ in its entirety. This is a fourmovement piece that professional orchestras play. It’s rewarding as a conductor, a music-maker, and an educator to see both the students and the KSO members enjoying themselves in this unique concert environment.”

Musical selections include Copland’s “Hoedown,” Morten Lauidsen’s “O Magnum Mysterium,” Britten’s Simple Symphony, and Brian Balmages Lyric Metal.

What if James Monroe were on Twitter?

By Kip Oswald

My Sunday school teacher, Ms. Lucy, told me that James Mon ro e was the first president to have an outdoor inauguration.

S h e d i d n ’ t know, however, that Kip when it was time for Monroe to be inaugurated, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Henry Clay, wouldn’t let the new president use the chamber in the House like all previous presidents, because they had been in an argument, so the whole inauguration had to be outside. This started the current process we do today.

President Monroe’s two favorite hobbies were riding and hunting, both of which he’d done since he was a boy. As a teenager, he fought under George Washing-

ton during the Revolutionary War and was seriously wounded. He was so proud of his service that he wanted to be called Colonel even when he was President.

While Monroe was president, he added five new states to the country and bought Florida from Spain for $5 million. He was the first president to ride a steamboat and the first to have official White House china. A set of plates for 30 people cost $1,167.23 back then. Not every president has changed or added to the White House china, but the Obama administration did buy new china for a cost of $367,258. WOW! I wouldn’t want to be the waiter who drops a plate in the kitchen!

James Monroe could be remembered for some fun facts, too. For instance, the capital of the nation of Liberia is called Monrovia in honor of President Monroe and is the only foreign capital in the world named after

a United States president.

Monroe once chased the Secretary of the Treasury out of the White House with a pair of fire tongs.

James Monroe also died on July 4, just like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

Possible tweets from President Monroe could be: James Monroe @ TheEraOfGoodFeeling I am the only president, aside from George Washington, to run unopposed for re-election. The next election will begin the division of the Democratic-Republican Party.

James Monroe @ TheEraOfGoodFeeling My daughter was the first to be married in the White House.

James Monroe @ TheEraOfGoodFeeling “Our country may be likened to a new house. We lack many things, but we possess the most precious of all – liberty.”

ESK team advances to Destination Imagination’s global finals The Episcopal School of Knoxville’s Abyss Adventurers has earned the right to compete in Destination Imagination’s Global Finals, the world’s largest celebration of student creativity, to be held May 24-27 in Knoxville.

Team members include fifth graders Pierce Broadhurst, Lauren Davis, Hayden Klappholz and Samuel Mears along with fourth graders Irie Peters, Greta Whitt and Amelia Underwood.

“I am extremely proud of the creativity and team effort shown by our DI kids,” ESK Head of School Jack Talmadge said. “They will all present themselves well as fine ambassadors of ESK and East Tennessee. The Global competition will for certain offer many amazing and inspiring opportunities for these guys, as they witness the innovation from around the world.”

They will compete with other teams in the Technical Challenge, one of seven open-ended challenges that require students to apply science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)

skills, in addition to their talents in improvisation, theater arts, writing, project management, communication, innovation, teamwork, community service and social entrepreneurship.

“This is an amazing group of students,” Abyss Adventurers coach Jeannie Hoover said. “They have taken every challenge presented to them with great creative energy and ramped it up an extra notch. I am so honored to be their coach on this creative journey.”

The Abyss Adventurers placed first in the state at the Tennessee State Tournament held April 8 at Nolensville High School in Nashville, to earn the right to compete at the Global Finals.

“No one on the team was expecting to win,” Mears said. “We knew we had really tough competition and somehow we managed to place first. We are very, very excited to be competing in the Global Finals. I’m really thrilled that we are able to go.”

ESK’s Mer-Keys team had a strong showing in the Fine Arts challenge at the state tournament, but

did not qualify to advance.

Team members included Ava Brownlie, Emma Carr, Megan Hacker, Calista Stratigeas, Avery Burgess, Lily Egner and Karenna Thurman.

The members of the Abyss Adventurers are among more than 8,000 students representing more than 1,400 teams advancing to Global Finals 2017.

Shearing sheep the pioneer way In pioneer Appalachia, farmers sheared their sheep each spring for wool to spin into yarn or fill quilts. The Museum of Appalachia, a Smithsonian Affiliate Museum, will renew this annual ritual of trimming the winter’s growth of heavy wool from its flock of sheep during its annual “Sheep Shearing Day,” to be held 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, April 28.

The Museum is at 2819 Andersonville Highway in Clinton.

The wooly animals are trimmed by Kentucky native John Cooper, who explains the process to onlookers and demonstrates the use of vintage hand-cranked shears, offering children the hands-on experience that will last a lifetime. Spinning, weaving, stitching and quilting demonstrators will show how wool was used to make yarn, thread, fabric and quilt batting in the days before readymade clothing and superstores.

The Museum’s mission is to preserve the Appalachian culture, educating children on their ancestors’ heritage. It is home to sheep, chickens, guineas and peafowl. Donkeys, Scottish Highland cattle and a variety of goats roam adjacent pastures. School groups, home-schooled students and families are welcome.

News from EyeXcel

Dr. Gilliland provides expert eye care, low vision specialty Dr. Bruce Gilliland provides expert eye care to patients of all ages and specialty care to those with visual impairment (low vision). This condition affects more than 14 million Americans and often is the result of eye diseases, hereditary conditions and stroke/brain injury. Dr. Gilliland offers the only low vision specialty clinic in our area of East Tennessee.

On any given day at EyeXcel, you can hear someone humming, whistling or singing a tune. That is Dr. Gilliland sharing the music he loves – whether he’s whistling in the hallways, playing the organ at church on Sunday, or unwinding at the piano after work.

For Dr. Gilliland, helping patients to maximize their vision so they can do the things they love, too, is a source of

great satisfaction.

Now with more than 20 years experience in optometry, Dr. Gilliland was drawn to low vision care during his early training. Low vision is a condition characterized by a level of vision that is 20/60 or worse and that cannot be fully corrected with medical treatment, surgery or conventional glasses. Dr. Gilliland’s skilled evaluation and treatment of low vision at EyeXcel offers patients an array of good options. “Just seeing the patient light up when they can finally see what they were missing means so much,” he said.

Most eye care specialists neglect treatment of low vision. Often, patients hear “There is nothing we can do for you.” At EyeXcel, low vision patients benefit from an approach that involves

careful evaluation, teamwork and a range of individualized magnification devices. “In most cases, we can find tools and adaptive techniques that can bring back independence and improve the quality of life,” Dr. Gilliland said.

One of Dr. Gilliland’s primary interests is neurologic conditions affecting vision. These might be the effects of stroke or brain injury on the visual process or how neurologic diseases such as multiple sclerosis bring about other visual limitations. He continually monitors the latest research on ways that lenses, prisms and vision therapy improve the ability of the patient to manage these conditions.

Dr. Gilliland enjoys getting to know his patients, and can be found kidding with them at every visit. They include the veterans he meets as vision rehabilitation consultant for the Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics. It is a joy when patients who have suffered devastating loss of independence through low vision can read the newspaper or see the faces of loved ones again using magnification devices. Or a child with visual impairment learns to read with a telescope for the first time. The smile on that child’s face along with

the tears of the parents make a wonderful experience.

Dr. Gilliland is proud of Traci, his wife of 23 years and a clinical pharmacist at a local hospital, and their children: Abby, a high school junior, and Ian, an eighth-grader. He earned his undergraduate degree from Middle Tennessee State University and his Doctorate of Optometry in 1994 at the Southern College of Optometry.

Sojourning Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

(Psalm 39:12 KJV)

The members of the worship team at The Church at Knoxville enjoy their friendships as much as their jobs. Members are: Crystal Quince, production director and student minister; the Revs. Sandra and Jaime Goldenberg; Rita Holloway, administrative assistant; Emory Quince, worship pastor and media director; Lisa Reed, worship assistant; and Greg Russell, family pastor.

The Church at Knoxville has a new home

By Carol Z. Shane In this contentious national time, it’s all but impossible to get everybody on the same page. That doesn’t bother the Rev. Jaime Goldenberg. “We’re not an issues-driven church; we’re a Jesus-driven church,” he says. “Always only Jesus.”

The church takes its rather low-key name from the early Christian practice of planting churches, as recounted in the letters of St. Paul. “There’s the church at Philippi, the church at Smyrna, the church at Corinth,” says Goldenberg.

“We’re all the church.”

The Goldenbergs came to Knoxville from Charlotte, N.C., in May 2008 to

help out at Mountain Ridge Church. “That church actually started at Cedar Bluff Middle School in 2004,” says Goldenberg. By the time the couple arrived, it was located in the Rocky Hill community, with a congregation of around 300.

“The church’s slogan was ‘come and see the view from here,’” says Goldenberg.

“But the Lord told me, ‘I don’t want my people to sit and watch. I want them to be the church.’” In 2009, the church officially adopted its current name.

One of its priorities has been to attract a multicultural congregation. “This whole experience will be lacking if it doesn’t have

every experience of culture,” says Goldenberg. “We cast a wide net of hope.”

Both Goldenbergs attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas; he says there were “120-some nations” represented there at the time. “I knew I’d lead a multicultural church someday.”

Six weeks ago, The Church at Knoxville moved into its big, new building in the Cedar Bluff area. On Easter Sunday they welcomed more than 600 congregants in two services.

Church offices are housed in a nearby structure; the Paleo Cafe rents another church-owned building behind the main one.

Goldenberg, “to see where God has brought us in eight years.” Emory Quince, the church’s worship pastor and media director, says, “the thing with growing churches is that you go from knowing everybody to standing in the foyer with 20 people you’ve never seen before!” All agree it’s a nice problem to have.

“Our highest priority,” says Goldenberg, “is the worship of God, and God’s presence.”

I know people who have lived for generations in the same community, my own family included. My ancestors walked across the mountains from North Carolina into what is now Tennessee when North Carolina reached from the Atlantic to the Mississippi.

Since I was born, however, I have lived in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Tennessee (again), and North Carolina. My daughters are both “foreigners”: Jordan was born in West Virginia, and Eden in New Jersey.

There is merit in living for generations in one place. There is a rootedness there, a sense of history of one’s people.

There is also a true blessing in sojourning.

One learns new places, new people, new ways, and new understandings by moving around.

Sojourning is different from wandering, however.

Sojourning has purpose; wandering implies lack of direction.

There are, however, other, different ways of sojourning.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

I am a reader. Through my books, I have traveled to places I have never seen: Finland, Australia, South Africa.

I always learn something. People who live in different places have different speech patterns, eat different foods, worship in different ways, and celebrate holidays in the manner of their forebears.

So, while it is nice to have roots, it is also fun to learn new ways, new sayings (as opposed to East Tennessee’s “Old Edwards Sayings”), new foods (Yum!), new traditions, and most of all to find new friends.

My advice is this: Get moving, go somewhere you haven’t been, look around, listen to the natives, and learn something you didn’t know!

It will expand your world forever. Get going!

Compressed natural gas good for environment Knoxville Utilities Board recently celebrated the opening of Knoxville’s first public compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station. The event also celebrated receipt of a grant from the Tennessee Department of Energy and Conservation to help expand KUB’s fleet of alternative fuel vehicles. CNG is an environmentally friendly gasoline and diesel alternative and powers the cleanest vehicles in commercial production today.

Mayor Madeline Rogero praised the station as being good for the city and the state,

saying, “This station bolsters our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and makes Knoxville greener.”

Natural gas vehicles, fueled by CNG, are available for all vehicle classes from lightduty compact cars to heavy-duty buses, refuse trucks and semis. It is possible to convert a traditional vehicle to one that runs on CNG. Light-duty vehicles currently include the Chevrolet Impala and Silverado 2500, Dodge Ram 2500, Ford F-150 and F-250 pickups, Chevrolet Savana vans and Ford Transit and Transit Connect vans.

Watts earns John McNiel Award Celeste Watts, R.Ph., pharmacy manager for the Etowah, Tenn., Food City Pharmacy, is the recipient of the 2017 John McNiel Customer Service Award.

She is a graduate of Sanford University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy and a certification through the American Pharmacists Association in medication therapy management, immunization delivery and diabetes and asthma education. Watts has been with the company for more than 23 years.

“Food City is dedicated to providing our loyal customers with exceptional customer service. We created the John McNiel Award to recognize pharmacists who embody that commitment,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer. “Celeste is devoted to her customers and ensuring they receive the best possible care and service. She is a tremendous asset, not only to our company, but to the region as a whole, and we certainly congratulate her on this

great honor.”

Each year, Food City recognizes a pharmacist from their two operating divisions for their outstanding customer service achievements. Watts was named this year’s award recipient for Food City’s Knoxville/Chattanooga Division. The award was established in honor of John McNiel, Food City’s first pharmacist. The company opened its pilot pharmacy location in Harlan, Ky., in 1997. McNiel’s success, due primarily to his outstanding customer service and care for his patients, led in large part to the company’s expansion of the pharmacy concept. Today, Food City operates 101 pharmacies throughout its 134 store supermarket chain.

“At Food City Pharmacy, our mission is to run the best pharmacy in town and Celeste has always exemplified that goal. She strives to take care of her patients in the most professional and ethical manner possible,” says Mickey Blazer, executive vice president of pharmacy and fuel operations for Food City.

News from Mission of Hope

supporting higher education

Mission of Hope - through its mentoring program

By Carol Z. Shane

It’s obvious from this photo, taken last Christmas in one of the elementary schools that Mission of Hope serves, that mentor Shawna Dittrick and college student Summer Botts are good friends. Photo submitted

Among the many ways Mission of Hope (MOH) reaches out to the impoverished in rural Appalachia is through education programs and scholarships. “There’s a lot of despair in those communities,” says executive director Emmette Thompson. “And when it comes to breaking the cycle of poverty, the answer is almost always education.”

Thompson, his staff and volunteers spend much of their energies directed toward keeping kids in school through graduation.

From bringing backpacks filled with school supplies in September to holding “Pledge to Graduate” ceremonies throughout the year, and in many other ways, MOH supports school children in 28 rural Appalachian communities and encourages them to stay the course.

After graduation, many of them hope to attend college. Some will be the first in their family to pursue higher education. MOH’s scholarship endowments at Alice Lloyd College in Kentucky, Lincoln Memorial University and 13 rural high schools help the kids who want that sheepskin - the kids who want a better life for themselves, their families and their communities.

But the support doesn’t stop there. MOH also provides mentors for each of the young students they sponsor.

Like Summer Botts, who is in her sophomore year pursuing a degree in sociology with a concentration in social work from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville. Though her cousin graduated from that school last year, Botts is the first in her immediate family to go to college.

“My dad is more excited about it than I am!” she laughs. “Very soon I’ll be halfway done. It’s just flying by, it seems.”

Bott’s mentor, retired physical therapist Shawna Dittrick, has volunteered with MOH for 10 years as a co-captain of one of the elementary school teams, but this is her first stint as a mentor.

“We’ve been together for two years,” says

Dittrick. “She’s a special girl.”

Though the two do occasionally get together in person, they mostly spend time on the phone. Dittrick is always available to help Botts navigate the sometimes confusing, often overwhelming, occasionally exhausting world that is college. “I’m a resource for encouragement,” says Dittrick.

“If you’ve not had anyone in your family go to college before, you can’t really go to them with problems about the college experience.

We talk. We share a lot of prayer requests back and forth.”

Botts says that Dittrick has helped her so much. For one thing, she admits she was a little timid during her freshman year. “I kind of stayed secluded in my apartment. I was a little scared.” Eventually, she found friends through the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, and she loves her roommate who, like Botts, is a Christian. “So we can talk about the Bible and stuff. I’m really happy.”

She has high words of praise for her mentor. “She’s such a nice person. She’s so strong in her Christian faith. I’d like to be like Shawna.”

Botts says she wants to “jump right in to getting my master’s in social work, with the idea of being a counselor in a hospital setting - maybe a children’s hospital, or a guidance counselor in a middle school.” So, she likes kids? “Yes!” she says, “I love kids!”

Dittrick admires her driven young mentee. “She’s very dedicated to getting this education.” It’s a good fit, and the basis, no doubt, of a life-long friendship.

The Mission of Hope is a valuable resource for financial, material and spiritual support for needy populations in rural Appalachia. College mentors such as Shawna Dittrick represent one link in that chain of hope.

“We would be immensely grateful to anyone who deems our scholarship program worthy of their financial donation support,” Thompson adds. If you’d like to help MOH in any way, visit them at missionofhope.org or call 865-584-7571, toll free 877-627-1909.

“Lives Will Be Changed”...with your HELP! MISSION OF HOPE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM “...our goal is to provide them with the opportunity to secure a better future through education...”

You’ve grown up poor...perhaps even very poor. You’ve watched family member after family member become discouraged; drop out of school and lose sight and all hope of a better future. But you’ve decided you’re not going to continue that trend. In fact; you have even boldly dared to be that first person in your family to go to and graduate from college.

But there’s only one small problem...you desperately need help and someone to believe in you.

The Mission of Hope Scholarship Program is trying to help those that dare to dream. One of our Mission of Hope Scholarship endowments is at Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, KY; in honor of the Bill Williams family. Our other Mission of Hope endowment is at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN; in honor of the Andrew Courtney family. We also are giving High School Seniors Scholarships, valued at $2,500 each; at 13 High Schools in Communities where were are serving 28 Elementary Schools. Last year we assisted a total of 50 Scholars with awesome Scholarships; and now we want to award 13 NEW graduating High School Seniors with Scholarships along with continuing to help our other Scholarship Classes keep pressing forward.

HELP US MEET THAT CHALLENGE!

Dare to Dream!

Thank you for your support and for helping us encourage students to dream big and never lose HOPE. Mission of Hope PO Box 51824 Knoxville, TN 37950 865-584-7571 www.missionofhope. org

Cancer Relay for Life ready to step off A full evening of events to beat cancer is on tap Friday, May 5, from 5-11 p.m. at the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life at Melton Hill Park in Oak Ridge.

Music, a live auction, a twilight 5K run and walk and luminaria ceremony for cancer victims and survivors are on tap.

This will be the first year that the former Oak Ridge and Clinton events have combined into one larger event. The goal this year is to raise at least $72,000, with about $40,000 left to go.

The schedule of events: 4:30 p.m. – Survivor Registration / Tent Open 5:30 p.m. – Opening Ceremony and Parade of Teams 6 p.m. – Survivor Ceremony 6:30 p.m. – Barry Jolly-acoustic guitar and singing 7 p.m. – Live auction with Zach Farrar 7:30 p.m. – Shackdaddy-Southern rock 8 p.m. – Twilight 5K run and walk 8:30 p.m. – The Tenos BandBluegrass 9:30 p.m. – Luminaria Ceremony

5K run awards follow the Luminaria Ceremony 10:30 pm. – Closing ceremony

participants will receive a race T-shirt.

Relay For Life events are held in over 5,200 communities nationwide and 27 countries. It is the world’s largest fundraising event to fight every cancer in every community. Individuals and teams set up campsites with the goal of keeping at least one team member walking at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps.

“Cancer patients don’t stop because they’re tired, and for one evening, neither do we,” said Kim Monroe, event chair.

“This is a great way to show your support for anyone who has survived their battle with cancer, to remember someone you have lost to cancer and to fight back by helping raise money for research so hopefully you or a family member won’t be the next one diagnosed with this terrible disease.”

For more information, call Kelly Lenz at 457-1649 or email at cptcklenz@aol. com. You may also visit relayforlife.org/andersontn.

A food truck from Pit Barbecue will be there, and teams will be selling foods from around the world – tacos and nachos with fixin’s, Guinness beef stew, hot dogs and chili, pizza, sno cones, Honduran coffee, sweet treats, baked goods and more.

Kids activities include bounce house, face-painting and dunking booth.

The Oak Ridge Veterinary team led by Dr. Kristin Novinger will host a cornhole tournament that will feature $200 in Visa gift cards to winners.

Dollar General gets Farragut MPC nod

By Margie Hagen

After a public hearing, approval for the Dollar General plan came with thanks from the Municipal Planning Commission and staff on the design of the building and willingness of the applicant, JMB Investment Co., to integrate the development into the surrounding residential area.

The new store will be at 12403 Kingston Pike, across from the Townhomes at Wentworth.

Rather than the typical flat roof with mostly metal siding, the new store will feature a gabled roof with a primarily brick facade, similar to residential structures nearby. The storefront will be finished with a bronze look material.

Two previous plans were submitted, with the third being approved after a lot of negotiation.

“The planning board has got Farragut’s back,” said JMB developer Michael Schaad. According to commission member Noah Myers, “This will be the best looking Dollar General in Tennessee.”

A preliminary concept sketch plan for the Knickerbocker building was presented for feedback and discussion by MBH Inc., the Myers brothers company.

The proposed three-story office building would be located on Municipal Center Drive, just east of the post office and across the street

from Farragut Town Hall.

Accordingly, Myers recused himself from the discussion, but the project received favorable comments from the other members.

The Knickerbocker building is within the Mixed Use Town Center (MUTC) and as such will set the stage for further development going west on the street.

Alderman Louise Povlin was enthusiastic about the possibility of a small parallel parking area in the front, saying, “It gives a ‘downtown feeling’ to the street and that’s what we’re looking for in the town center.”

The brick building will have additional parking in the rear, permeable pavers to accommodate stormwater and a pedestrian sidewalk along the frontage, with the ability to eventually connect to South Campbell Station Road.

A lengthy dialogue con-

tinued for the Kingston Pike Properties as both developers and board members compared visions on the design and commercial uses on the 18-acre site. “Placemaking” was the term used to depict the environment the town wants to see. The idea is to combine elements of green spaces, walkability and outdoor dining spaces, creating an atmosphere that serves both the community and the businesses.

Commissioner Ed St. Clair noted, “It’s the premier entrance on the west side of town,” while Mark Shipley stated, “If they (owners and developers) get it right, it will be a showpiece for the entire county.”

There is a lot at stake for both sides; the builders want to move forward quickly, while the town is challenging them to come back with ideas to tweak the design.

Learning skills and safety

By Margie Hagen With lawn mowing season already in full swing, more than a dozen young boys and girls took part in a safety, maintenance and business building clinic last Saturday in Mayor Bob Leonard Park.

In its 19th year, the event was co-sponsored by the town of Farragut, Optimist Club of West Knoxville, Knox County 4-H/ UT Extension, Rural Metro and Farragut Lawn & Tractor. Kids from grades 5-12 learned basic mower and trimmer maintenance, safety and how to get (and keep) mowing jobs in their neighborhoods.

Instructor Danny Bullington led the class and, along with young entrepreneurs Nelson and Ethan Creech, presented practical tips on how and why to mow alternate patterns, the best way to blow clippings (away from the house) and, of course, how to do it all safely. “Always walk the yard before mowing to see what’s out there,” said Bullington.

“Get familiar with the landscape, and if the family has kids or dogs, be on the lookout for toys or other objects in the yard.”

Brothers Nelson and Ethan Creech have run their own lawn care business for the past two years and passed along some wisdom

to the group of potential small business operators.

Ethan recommends acting and dressing professionally. “Wear a nice T-shirt,” he said, “and take off your sunglasses when talking to the owner.”

Bullington stresses being reliable, saying, “You’ve got to prove yourself if you want to keep that job,” adding, “If it’s raining, for example, call to let your customers know when you’ll come back.”

Optimist Chris Albrecht has been coordinating the clinic for the past 19 years and said, “It teaches kids responsibility and gets them started building something they can be proud of – their own business.”

Bratton Davis of Farragut Lawn & Tractor demonstrated techniques for using power string trimmers. He has also been involved since Rural Metro firefighters John Creswell and David Sellers showed off Engine 244 from the Watt Road station. the first clinic and provides the equipment used. His company donates a trimmer to be given to the winner of a drawing held at the end.

For the kids and their parents, it was a morning well spent, wrapping up with lunch provided by the Optimist Club of West Knoxville.

If you want to get involved in community projects like this, visit optimist.org and look them up on Facebook.

The club meets every Thursday for lunch at Seasons in Turkey Creek.

Lloyd Daugherty papers to be digitized, preserved Lloyd Daugherty would have been 60 this year.

Well known as a political strategist and for his syndicated “Dixie Angler” radio show, the affable, articulate Knoxvillian was a go-to interview for national media outlets looking for a Southern point of view.

When he died nearly three years ago from the ravages of diabetes, he left a trove of archival material stacked up in a closet at the office of the Tennessee Conservative Union, which he chaired for many years.

His fiancée, Keitha Kelley (whom he called his chief of staff), ran the office, and after his death, it took awhile before she felt up to cataloguing the stacks of notebooks, binders and clippings that memorialized his work from 1990-2006.

Soon as she was able, she gritted her teeth and got to it. She has completed the job and handed the material over to Daugherty’s successor as TCU chair, Gary Loe, who plans to digitize it and make it available to future researchers, or anyone who is interested.

“I would have to say there are thousands of clips,” Kelley said. “Every notebook had several hundred entries, from ‘Ear to the

Betty Bean Ground’ (a gossip column in the now-defunct Metro Pulse) mentions to fullpage USA Today articles. He saved everything, and he’d send me out to buy multiple copies. I’m glad he did, or we would have lost all this history.”

One example is TCU’s long battle with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance, which tried to force the organization to hand over its donor list.

This came on the heels of TCU’s successful campaign to unseat Supreme Court Justice Penny White, whom Daugherty believed was insufficiently supportive of the death penalty.

TCU prevailed despite accusations that Daugherty and TCU president John Davies were nothing more than two guys and a fax machine.

Daugherty relished the insults and was tickled when then-Gov. Don Sundquist called TCU a bunch of Neanderthals and Al Gore branded them “powerful and dangerous.”

He took on plenty of other fights over the years,

Lloyd Daugherty circa 2003 even as his health started to fail him, and soldiered on after he lost a leg in 1997.

“Lloyd did so great with his prosthesis. He wore shorts so much of the time and when we went out to eat, he’d ask, ‘Hey, do you give a one-legged discount?’ He’d tell kids a gator bit his leg off. He was just so grateful to have lived through it.”

Diabetes took its toll as the years passed, and by early 2014, he was desperately ill, but still unbowed. He bucked the Tennessee Republican Party by making a video opposing mountaintop removal coal

mining. Months later, just before he was transferred to Vanderbilt for a risky heart procedure, he dictated a press release from his hospital bed in the Intensive Care Unit at Parkwest Hospital. He died a few weeks later in a Nashville rehabilitation facility.

In addition to a metric ton of clippings, Daugherty left speech outlines, letters, cards, and clippings.

It’ll take awhile to work through, but could become a significant source of research material from the archives of a one-of-a-kind Southern maverick.

Vol fans, watch NFL draft at own risk University of Tennessee football fans actually have a valid reason to watch this week’s NFL Draft.

Pretty weird, right?

After all, no Vol was drafted in 2016. No Tennessee player was selected in 2015, either.

And it wasn’t like the 2014 NFL Draft did the Vols a favor. Sure, offensive lineman Ja’Wuan James went 19th overall to the Dolphins. Other than him, Tennessee boasted just a pair of sixth-rounders in linemen Zach Fulton and Daniel McCullers.

That’s a three-year span that an FCS school would brag about. Not a storied SEC program. You’re not going to sway an Alabama five-star verbal commitment over to Tennessee with that kind of résumé.

This time around, though, five – maybe six – Tennessee football players are expected to be drafted, the most since six Vols were selected in the 2010 NFL Draft.

But I’m curious as to how the Tennessee fan base will react.

When the NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night

Jesse Smithey

and defensive lineman Derek Barnett goes in the top 10 or 15, will Tennessee fans rejoice?

When all-purpose offensive back Alvin Kamara possibly sneaks into the latter picks of the first round, will Vol fans tweet it up?

What about when those two picks snowball into quarterback Josh Dobbs, defensive back Cam Sutton and receiver Josh Malone going in the first 4-5 rounds? Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin may get drafted, too. Will Tennessee fans enjoy it and genuinely be happy for the program and those players?

I suspect that will be next to impossible.

Because, save for Dobbs getting drafted, you’ll probably just get upset again if you’re a Tennessee fan. You’ll only be reminded of what should have been this past fall, when

the Vols were the clear favorites to win the SEC East and to return to a highprofile bowl game.

When Barnett gets drafted, you’ll say: “How was the defense that bad with him up front? He broke Reggie White’s sack record!”

When Kamara gets picked, you’ll say: “Why didn’t Butch Jones use him more?”

When Sutton goes, you’ll say: “I thought he’d have played better this past season.”

Then the demons will take hold and you’ll be reminded of the Texas A&M loss and how Tennessee inexcusably lost (coming off a bye) to a putrid South Carolina team with a nobody quarterback.

And then, the Vanderbilt loss that ended up sending Tennessee to the Music City Bowl will resurface and your whole weekend will be ruined.

Yeah.

So. Maybe you shouldn’t watch the NFL Draft at all.

I’ll save you the trouble. The first round will take hours. The Cleveland

Browns have the first overall pick and screw it up.

Again.

Texas A&M defensive lineman Myles Garrett will inexplicably get selected before Tennessee’s Barnett, even though Barnett outperformed him in SEC play.

And countless offensive linemen, who you’ve never heard of and likely won’t again, will go in the first round.

But if you, Tennessee fan, must watch, it all starts at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 27, on ESPN. Good luck.

last words Does UT get bang for lobbyist buck?

The University of Tennessee spends over a half-million dollars a year running its Nashville lobbying office to influence the legislature and state government. The top dog there is Anthony Haynes, who makes $201,088 a year with a pay raise due in July. But he has four others who help him – Carey Whitworth at $80,000; Lou Hanemann at $93,000; Valerie Yancey at $98,500.

Connie Cantrell comes in 2 days a week at $31.29 an hour when the other four are overwhelmed with work.

Office space is $40,107 a year at $23.32 per square foot. These figures do not include retirement benefits, and the legislature is in session only four months of the year. So there is interest in what these folks do the other eight months of the year. It is hard to believe there is much heavy lifting when the legislature is away.

UT Chancellor Beverly Davenport still has not responded to letters sent more than seven weeks ago from State Rep. Jimmy Matlock and Martin Daniel.

There should be a 10-day turnaround for all members of the General Assembly.

Hard to tell what is going on here.

■■ House Speaker Beth Harwell will likely conclude her service as speaker in November 2018 as she either runs for governor or simply retires from the state House.

The gas tax had Harwell on every side of this issue from support to opposition depending on the day of the week. It was enacted without her being a significant factor either way. She is actually a smart person with keen knowledge of issues but often seen as indecisive. A race for governor next year could be uphill for her given

Victor Ashe

these difficult issues.

Gov. Bill Haslam, meanwhile, waded into the gas tax issue by working the phones overtime calling legislators. For some of these lawmakers, talking with the governor is the first time they have had a conversation one on one for an extended period with him in their whole career. It helped pass the tax hike.

The House was where the issue was most closely divided, with Democrats deciding the issue as the House GOP was almost evenly split. The big question is what was promised the Democrats, who are normally irrelevant, on the one occasion when their votes decided the issue.

Something was promised but no one is really talking. Time will tell soon.

Who’s In Control?

Whisman beats depression and builds confidence through Peninsula programs When you are 11 years old, you are supposed to be riding your bike, having adventures and counting the days till Christmas. You are supposed to be learning new things, going places and dreaming big dreams.

But when Lindy Whisman was 11 years old, there wasn’t much she could think about, do, or enjoy. She was suffering from intense migraines, and already on a path that would lead to crippling depression. Multiple health issues forced young Lindy into pain management.

She began taking medications, living a somewhat sequestered existence, and subsequently began to feel that she had lost control of her life. By the time she came to Peninsula as an adult, Lindy had already been through several therapy programs with only limited success, and had been having suicidal thoughts for years.

“It was like a deep hole,” Lindy explains. “I just fell into it, and I couldn’t get back out.”

That changed when she began therapy at Peninsula. Her therapist called in Peninsula Recovery Services Manager Mary Nelle Osborne, PhD, who recommended the Recovery Education Center (REC) at Peninsula Lighthouse.

“I was very open to it, because I had no hope for myself, in any aspect of my life,” Lindy says.

“They say that your realMary Nelle Osborne, PhD ity is what you make of it, and my reality seemed black.”

Recovery is key

Peninsula Outpatient Centers For people experiencing mild to severe mental health issues, Peninsula Outpatient Centers provide a wide range of services including individual and group therapy, support groups and medication management. With outpatient centers in Knox, Loudon, Sevier and Blount counties, Peninsula serves individuals of all ages across East Tennessee. Each patient meets with Peninsula clinical staff at his or her first appointment to determine the best course of treatment. A patient’s plan may include daily medication, psychotherapy, case management or a combination of these.

The physicians at Peninsula Outpatient Centers may recommend an Intensive Outpatient Program to provide more concentrated care than traditional outpatient sessions. For six to eight weeks, participants in the Adult or Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Programs come to the outpatient center in Knoxville four to five times a week to address issues that need intense treatment but do not require continuous care. These conditions include depression, anxiety disorders, anger management, ADHD, relationship problems, grief and loss and self-injurious behavior.

Alcohol and drug treatment is available through the Adult Intensive Outpatient Program at the Peninsula

Lighthouse campus. For women suffering from addiction, Peninsula Outpatient offers Women in Treatment, a program for uninsured women age 18 to 64. Through this program, women can work on self-esteem, trauma, communication techniques, body image issues and other topics that are vital to well-being and happiness.

If you or a loved one is experiencing any symptoms of mental health issues, visit www.peninsulabehavioralhealth.com or call Peninsula Outpatient Centers at 865-970-9800.

In August 2010, leaders in the behavioral health field, consisting of people in recovery from mental health and substance use problems along with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), met to explore the development of a common, unified working definition of recovery. Ten guiding principles of recovery were identified.* ■ Hope ■ Person driven ■ Many pathways ■ Holistic ■ Peer support

■ Relational ■ Culture ■ Addresses trauma ■ Strengths/Responsibility ■ Respect

*Recovery is cited, within Transforming Mental Health Care in America, Federal Action Agenda: First Steps, as the “single most important goal” for the mental health service delivery system.

Recovery Education Center If you struggle with ongoing effects of mental illness, it helps to have a plan of action. Peninsula’s Recovery Education Center (REC) helps participants discover what triggers negative and harmful feelings, then zeroes in on specific coping mechanisms to use when those triggers arise.

REC makes use of a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), an evidence-based program that gives participants the tools they need to take on life. The process starts with helping participants find hope, and a vision for the future.

Mary Nelle Osborne, PhD, Peninsula’s recovery services manager, says REC is for those who have TennCare, or are enrolled in the Safety Net program, and are in various stages of recovery.

“Some are just beginning, and some are

well into addressing long-term habits or recovering from trauma,” Osborne says.

“Individuals are taught the key concepts of recovery in a culture of safety and respect.”

Osborne says staff members repeatedly hear how the program is changing lives for the better. Some participants go back to complete their GEDs, go to college, get jobs, learn how to live sober lives, or volunteer in the community. “It is an honor to facilitate a program where the table is set, and the participants are eager to learn and change in front of your eyes,” Osborne says.

The services of REC are available to the general public, and you don’t have to be a Peninsula patient to enroll. For more information, visit peninsulabehavioralhealth.org, and click on Outpatient Services.

Recovery is a Journey Peninsula Recovery Education Center has a strong history of helping people with serious mental illness and substance abuse move their lives forward into recovery. Dozens of classes provide support on the journey.
