Burchett wows SMG reporters Tim Burchett has a knack for talking with people – especially kids.

The mayor thoroughly entertained the newspaper club at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy.

He talked about bamboo, a current hobby. He invited them to follow him on Twitter. He showed video of his bamboo skateboards and said he still has more than 100 motorcycles, even though he sold several after he got married. He even talked about worm poop, saying, “If it wasn’t for worms, the world would be square.”

If Gibbs Middle is built, what’s next?

Sandra Clark talks about the dilemma created by building a middle school for 800 kids in remote Gibbs.

“We’ve got spaces without kids on the east side and kids without spaces on the west side.”

Anticipate a closure at Vine, Holston or Carter if the Gibbs school is built.

By Betty Bean At 10 a.m. sharp on Saturday, May 2, serious area gardeners will follow the green directional signs to the North Hills Garden Club’s annual perennial plant sale. The one-day sale, 10 a.m.– 2 p.m. in North Hills Park (on Kennington

Road a half block from the intersection of Kenilworth Lane), is a must-attend event for anyone with a green thumb.

That’s because members of the North Hills Garden Club dig up and donate more than 50 varieties of plants and shrubs from

their own gardens. Lenten Rose, There will also be herbs, vegetaSolomon’s Seal, Trillium, Colum- bles and blooming annuals from a bine and Rose Campion as well as local nursery and master gardenplants that attract butterflies and To page 3 hummingbirds will be available.

Sharing the love at Love Kitchen Ellen Turner 1928-2015

By Betty Bean (Note: Excerpts from a story published in the Halls Shopper in 2007. The full story is online at ShopperNewsNow.com) The Love Kitchen began with an answered prayer.

Retired from a nursing career in 1984, identical twins Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner spent the next few months wondering what

they were going to do with the rest of their lives.

“I knew I couldn’t just sit home nursing my aches and pains – and then one night, I dreamed that I was in church, making up food bags. As soon as I woke up, I called Ellen – I was just chattering,” says Helen, the talkative one.

Ellen, the quiet one, takes the story from there.

“My husband and I were still in bed when the phone rang, and I could hardly understand what she was saying. I said, ‘Sis, calm

down.’ And then she finally said, ‘I had an encounter with God last night, and we’re going to have a place to feed the hungry.’ ” The Love Kitchen was born.

The twins have made such an impact that Gov. Bill Haslam says he’s their grandson, and Ellen’s death last week drew an obituary in the New York Times. They’ve appeared with Oprah Winfrey and fed literally thousands.

Most of the food is donated to them by local markets, and the rest comes from the Second Har-

vest Food Bank. They specialize in corn muffins, spaghetti, cabbage and greens.

“We started working when we were 8 years old,” Helen Ashe says. “Racism was rampant, but we were so blessed to have the parents we had. We worked in private homes, and we were taught to work for what we got and to share what we had. Today, when we go somewhere to make a speech, I always credit the birth and success of Love Kitchen to our parents.”

Planting daylilies at Chilhowee Park

By Ruth White Friends of Chilhowee Park turned up to help with a beautification project in the heart of East Tennessee. The group joined to plant daylilies around the grounds at the park to celebrate Earth Day and to enjoy the green spaces in the area.

More than 350 red Volunteer daylilies were planted and are expected to bloom midsummer, creating a blanket of color at the park. The daylilies were donated

by Oakes Daylilies in Corryton.

Partnering for the project were the Chilhowee and Parkridge neighborhood associations, The Muse, East Tennessee Quality Growth, Keep Knoxville Beauti-

Parkridge resident Steve Loy places rocks near a flower bed to help with run-off. Loy said, “I love this community. I grew up in the area and have great memories of visiting Chilhowee Park for the fair.” Loy and his wife, Rebecca, helped plant the daylilies as a way to give back to the community.

At 81, Knoxville woman makes most of every day At the age of 49, Polly Hood was diagnosed with a melanoma that could have ended her life. A doctor told her she only had a 25 percent chance of survival. Rather than curl up in defeat, Hood decided to find something that would be a diversion.

She enrolled in classes at the University of Tennessee.

Hood won a scholarship and eventually received a college degree in Home Economics Education when she was 53. She graduated at the top of her class, among students who were young enough to be her children.

Hood knew about overcoming obstacles. She had defeated cancer, cheated death and with her degree had achieved a goal that many people never do.

So when her husband passed away after an extended illness last July, this strong woman of faith, now 81, was pressed but not crushed. She didn’t know that a new and life-threatening challenge was just around the corner.

In October, Hood was invited to participate in a special service, memorializing individuals who had recently died. She was asked to bring a picture of her husband and was invited to stand and share a few words about him.

While it was certainly an emotional night, she appreciated the people who wanted to honor her husband’s memory and lingered at a reception that followed. All seemed to go well – until her chest started hurting on the way home.

“I thought it was indigestion because I had eaten some snacks I was not accustomed to,” Hood says. “And it was stressful to speak about losing my husband.”

Hood took antacid tablets when she got home, but the pain stayed

Polly Hood, a Knoxville native, is thankful for the lifesaving care she received at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. After Hood arrived at the emergency room door, a team cleared the blockage in her left main coronary artery in 23 minutes, which is about 40 minutes faster than the national average.

with her throughout the night. She felt better the next day, but her problems were far from over.

“It was about 4:30 in the afternoon when I had another chest pain, and it was severe,” Hood recalls. After texting her children, she called 911 and was instructed to chew four 81-milligram tablets of aspirin and drink water till emergency personnel arrived.

“I got sick at my stomach, I vomited, I broke out in a cold sweat,” Hood says. She was experiencing some of the classic symptoms of a heart attack.

Hood would later learn there was a blockage in the left main coronary artery, often referred to as a “widow maker” because of the low survival rate. The left main coronary artery feeds two of the three main arteries of the heart – it is essentially a heart attack in two-thirds of the heart.

When the ambulance arrived, Hood was given an EKG. “I could tell when the EMT pulled the paper out of the machine that it was a heart attack. I could tell by the expression on his face.”

Hood’s suspicion was correct.

However, she remembers hearing some important words of comfort: “We will get you out of here and get help for you right away.”

Emergency workers made good on that promise. Hood didn’t know it at the time, but Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has an aggressive plan in place to provide immediate care for patients who are in

cardiac arrest.

When a person experiences a heart attack, fast-paced care is critical. That’s why two doctors and other medical staff were waiting and ready to attend to Hood as soon as she arrived at the hospital’s emergency department. She was surprised.

“They were waiting for me in the hallway,” Hood says. “They stopped me right there and gave me an EKG and two kinds of blood thinner.”

No time was wasted taking the next step. “They ran to the catheterization lab with me,” Hood says.

“They were running, and they moved fast.”

Because the process of placing a stent requires a patient to be awake and alert, Hood was fully aware of conversations going on around her.

As she listened, she learned one of the nurses treating her had been in the parking lot, about to leave for the night. Another was on the way home when called to turn around and come back.

“They were called back to help me,” Hood says gratefully. “Everyone was very professional, very courteous and very reassuring.”

Hood offered up prayers for the people working so diligently to save her and says she felt at peace knowing if she died she would see her husband again.

It took just 23 minutes to get Hood from the entrance of the emergency department to the cath lab with the stent in place. That’s about 40 minutes faster than the national average.

Hood has no doubt that those minutes made a difference not only in saving her life, but in her recovery.

Within days of being released from the hospital, she was enjoying a lunch date with her daughter. She was back to church soon after.

“I’ve been really happy with the care I’ve gotten,” Hood says. “It couldn’t have been any better.”

When Hood looks back over all the important moments in her life, most of them have a common element: her husband was there by her side.

Now a widow, she is starting life over with new challenges. Cardiac rehab at Fort Sanders Regional has strengthened her heart and helped renew her spirit. While going through life without her partner of almost 55 years is difficult, she takes every step on the treadmill with purpose. After a life-threatening heart attack, the woman who once couldn’t imagine living without her husband now understands that she must.

“I lived, and God’s not through with me, yet,” Hood says, wiping her eyes. “I have to realize that and make the most of every day.”

Hood says her heart was broken twice. Her husband’s death broke her heart emotionally. The heart attack broke her heart physically.

“But by the grace of God and medical expertise, I’m mending now, and I’m thankful to be alive.”

Local hospital leads team approach to faster care for heart attacks Collaboration improves care for STEMI patients

When a heart attack happens, time is critical – not just for the person experiencing the heart attack, but for professional caregivers as well.

The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have established recommended standards of care for heart attack patients, specifically those identified as the “ST-Segment Elevation MI” (STEMI) population. These patients have the highest mortality (risk of death) and morbidity (risk of associated complications). They can be rapidly identified with an electrocardiogram.

The standards emphasize organizing regional systems of care and patient transfer procedures in order to provide faster access to advanced therapies that help facilitate rapid restoration of blood flow during a heart attack. The care team – from first responders and emergency departments to cardiologists and cath lab staff – must collaborate to provide efficient and effective care.

To help meet the revised stan-

dards, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center established a physician-led team that included a medical director, STEMI coordinator, interventional cardiologists, emergency department manager and an educator, along with other departments, hospitals and emergency transport companies working together to enhance care for STEMI patients.

“From initial contact – whether by EMS in the field or a triage center in the emergency department – there are several steps to rapidly get Joshua Todd, MD patients with the highest mortality during a heart attack to the catheterization laboratory,” said Joshua Todd, MD, interventional cardiologist and project team medical director. “Our role is to evaluate the entire process and collaborate with anyone who has contact with this patient population to develop a standardized approach to

efficiently get them to a cath lab.”

The team’s goals included: ■ Decrease mortality of STEMI patients through early intervention.

■ Increase the number of STEMI patients brought directly to Fort Sanders by EMS transporters, bypassing centers that are not equipped to care for STEMI patients and thus reducing the time to procedure.

■ Increase transfer efficiency of STEMI patients to Fort Sanders from smaller facilities by helping those facilities identify STEMI patients more quickly.

■ Decrease readmission rates for patients transferred to Fort Sanders with STEMI diagnosis.

The team developed several new processes, including: ■ Helping train EMS providers to identify STEMI patients quickly and building relationships with emergency transporters to ensure efficient arrival at a center equipped to deal with STEMI patients. A new focus of the guidelines is to track “First Medical Contact-to-Device Activation” time, with a goal of less than 120 minutes from medical encounter by first responders to interventional treatment.

“Every 30 minutes results in

nearly an 8 percent increase in risk of death, so we can improve patient outcomes by having a systems approach to identification, notification and rapid transfer,” Dr. Todd said.

Clinical members of Covenant Rapid Access, Covenant Health’s patient transfer center, are available 24/7 to accept STEMI patients from outlying hospitals and immediately notify the cath lab team and interventional cardiologist. “Rapid Access is the coordinating center for Covenant facilities,” Dr. Todd noted. “They are integral to our STEMI system of care.”

■ Emergency transporters can simultaneously notify both ED and cath lab teams of potential STEMI patients and transmit an EKG when available. This allows earlier activation of the cath lab team, with personnel available immediately when the patient arrives.

■ Interventional cardiologists hold educational events to improve rapid identification for pre-hospital EKGs and EKG interpretation, and develop protocols for managing STEMI patients and notifying the hospital of a STEMI diagnosis.

■ The team reviews STEMI cases monthly to give referring hospitals

and EMS providers feedback on outcomes, and to continually improve systems and processes.

A key factor for success is support from emergency physicians and interventional cardiologists, said Jennifer Debow, RN, Fort Sanders director of cardiology services. “Their willingness to work together has been the force behind the teamwork between Covenant Health facilities and EMS companies throughout the area.”

As a result of these efforts, during first year implementation Fort Sanders exceeded state and national hospitals’ performance in meeting standards for “First Medical Contactto-Device” times. Mortality and readmission rates also declined.

The team has expanded its efforts and now collaborates with hospitals and emergency responders in Claiborne, Sevier and Jefferson counties, and as far away as Newport and Kentucky.

Debow summarized the collaborative spirit of all the health care providers: “The commitment and compassion of this initiative is making a difference, not only by saving lives, but giving patients back their quality of life as well.”

Ethel Kelly Julian celebrated her 105th year as friends and family gathered for festivities at the Holston Health and Rehabilitation Center. She is the facility’s oldest resident.

‘Mama Ethel’ feted on 105th birthday The oldest resident of Holston Health and Rehabilitation Center celebrated her 105th year Sunday and promptly began working on her 106th.

Family and friends gathered to honor Ethel Kelly Julian, the oldest resident of the center. Her birthdate is April 27.

Julian was born in Sevier County, but her family moved to Knox County

Bill Dockery

when she was an infant.

She has called several Knox communities home, including New Hopewell, Kimber-

lin Heights and West Haven.

She lived in Broadway Towers for a number of years after her husband died at 90 but came to the Holston facility three years ago after breaking a hip.

“I’m still a-kicking, just not too high,” Julian said.

Julian took her first job at age 12 working in a shirt factory on Gay at Central, running a button-hole machine. Later she moved to

Appalachian Mills, where her job was folding men’s underwear. She worked for many years in the Church Street branch office of Sanitary Laundry and Dry Cleaning. After she was injured in a robbery in that job, she became a Pink Lady volunteer at East Tennessee Baptist Hospital.

She and husband Morris had three children: Lynn, retired captain in the Knoxville Fire Department; Harold, a retired columnist and copy editor with the News Sentinel; and the late Joyce Whaley.

She has seven granddaughters, 14 great-grandchildren and nine great-greatgrandchildren.

Though she doesn’t get there as often as she once did, Julian is the oldest member of Smithwood Baptist Church, where she is known as “Mama Ethel.”

Recently interviewed by UT students for a film on the area’s centenarians, she gave them the key to her longevity.

“I never smoked, drank or sunbathed,” she said, to which one of student interviewers responded, “Too late for me.”

How long before Butch does something?

Question: So, how long campus rock.

Answer: He already has before Butch does somedone something. He has adthing? justed the football culture to mostly positive, upgraded talent and depth and set a world record for attention to Marvin details – including academWest ic achievement and unification of the old guard.

In mod language, Tennessee is trending. There is Clarification: I suppose, measurable improvement. in this case, Butch is a col- His players are bigger and lective noun encompassing faster. They look stronger in Tennessee coach Lyle Allen the team photo.

These preliminaries Jones Jr. , a cluster of highly regarded on-field assistants, have been expensive, a few dozens behind the scene, af- million here, a few more fluent fans who loan jets and there, raises all around, enthusiastic students, some but, fortunately, Butch has who run and jump and hit enhanced ticket sales and people and others who paint perhaps inspired an uptick recruiting names on the in giving. He is one heck of

a salesman. By my count, he is undefeated in press conferences and interviews. He says a lot – with passion.

What the Volunteers did to Iowa, slow or lethargic, generated an overflow of orange optimism. Many think Tennessee will win the SEC East.

No previous Butch result substantiates this. His twoyear record is 12-13. He is 5-11 in the SEC. He and his people have twice upset South Carolina. He lost to the worst Florida team in a decade. His team squeaked through at Vanderbilt to earn bowl eligibility. Lest you forget, the Commodores, 17-point underdogs, created far too much tension.

Butch said: “This game summarized our season of adversity and great resiliency.”

Butch is articulate.

Just as he was building, several young people who were once recruiting prizes pulled up roots and went away. OK, that could have been a left-handed blessing in disguise. Newcomers may be better than the dearly departed. For sure they will be younger and less experienced.

So, when will Butch do something really exciting?

Coming up usually takes more time than going down.

Be reminded that major repairs were necessary.

Once a program falls, rivals stomp all over it and do

their best to make bad matters worse.

“Hobnail boot on the neck” is a vivid description.

Consider the Bill Battle decline of the 1970s. John Majors came home to fi x it.

There was no brick by brick back then but what we got was 4-7, 5-5-1, 7-5 and 5-6, generally worse than what Battle was doing.

Symbolic restoration appeared in the fifth year, capped by the not so glamorous trip to the drab, cold, windy Garden State Bowl.

Some of you missed New Jersey. I remember it well.

I ran out of gas on a scenic drive.

Erosion under Battle was pleasant compared to the Lane Kiffin-Derek Dooley

slide and crash. Butch inherited a mess. His immediate predecessor didn’t recruit offensive linemen.

Butch has done well rebuilding bridges, mending fences and pointing the program in the proper direction. Practice field challenges through a public address system, the noisy stadium DJ and student appreciation day are not the Neyland way but Butch clearly has his own brand of leadership.

I continue to withhold judgment on player development and strategy. When Tennessee defeats Alabama, I’ll have more to say.

Broyles plans campaign school for women Knox County Commissioner Amy Broyles knows − and understands − why few women run for office.

They’re busier than ever, and while many are perfectly comfortable raising money for schools or churches, they’re not comfortable asking for money for themselves. Plus, they know that campaigns get ugly, and they don’t want to put their family in that position.

But issues that directly affect women, like equal pay, won’t be addressed if women themselves don’t step up, she says.

“We have to be the ones sitting in those chairs.”

That’s why Broyles is planning a campaign school for women who are interested in running for office or becoming involved in campaigning for a female candidate. A date has yet to be set, but it will be a weekend

Wendy Smith

in August, she says.

Classes, on topics like messaging and fundraising, will be taught by female officeholders she’s met through the National Association of Counties and the National Foundation for Women Legislators. They are from different parties, and women from all parties, or none at all, are welcome to participate.

She is currently seeking sponsorships so that the school will be free of charge.

When women choose to run for office, it’s usually because they’re angry about

something, she says. Broyles ran for County Commission seven years ago because she was angry about term limits. Someone tried to discourage her from running because a man, who could finance his own campaign, was willing to run.

She was active in the community, but didn’t know the man. She decided she was a better candidate, in spite of having a 12-weekold baby at the time.

While Broyles moved forward without wondering if she was prepared, most women say they don’t know enough to serve in an elected office.

“Women always seem to think there’s something more they need to do to run for office.”

Men, who are used to seeing men in office, are more likely to see themselves as qualified, she says.

Women also have to endure comments about their appearance that men manage to avoid.

While Knox County and the city of Knoxville have had numerous female officeholders over the past couple of decades, the trend has reversed. Broyles isn’t sure why, but she’s heard of the same thing happening in communities across the country.

She is the sole woman on Knox County Commission.

Women candidates face challenges, and criticism, that men don’t face. During her first campaign, Broyles was surprised to be asked how she would manage her family responsibilities while serving on commission. Men don’t get asked such questions, she says.

mayor, is the sole woman on City Council.

In spite of the challenge of getting there, Broyles has loved her time in office. She feels that she’s been able to affect positive change during her time on commission, even if it didn’t directly result in policy change.

She won’t run again in 2016 because she’ll have been in office for eight years. The people who are most disappointed are her three daughters, she says.

“They’re really proud of me.”

Total Middle School Students

The map at left shows 2014-19 projected growth for Knox County’s middle school zones. The chart above shows current and projected enrollment. Both are from a study commissioned by Knox County Schools and are available on the KCS website.

Gibbs Middle School is a ‘forever’ issue Gibbs area residents have battled for 20-plus years for a new middle school in the community. During that time a brand-new elementary school was built at Gibbs and Holston Middle School, where Gibbs-area kids are zoned, was remodeled.

Gibbs residents showed up across Knox County to lobby for a middle school when Superintendent Jim McIntyre held public meetings. No other community has pushed so hard for so long. It’s safe to say, folks who don’t live in Gibbs are puzzled.

What’s the problem?

First, our middle schools are in the wrong places.

We’ve got spaces without kids on the east side and kids without spaces on the west side.

Second, Gibbs advocates argue that the lack of a middle school holds back the area’s growth. Nobody’s talking about Northeast Knox Utility District’s lack of a sewer system (wastewater is treated by HPUD) stifling growth.

Commissioner Dave Wright says the school system’s study was f lawed by inaccurate population figures from the Metropolitan Planning Commission. He says Hardin Valley’s numbers were just a year old, while the North-

east Sector Plan was outof-date by some 12 years.

MPC is currently updating that plan.

Third, and this is the 800-pound gorilla. Who’s going to pay for a new school at Gibbs? The school board chose not to fund it through its capital plan. It’s doubtful Mayor Tim Burchett will advocate borrowing money for Gibbs and two other new schools also requested.

That puts it on Knox County Commission to vote to build and to fund. If that path is taken it must come with a property tax increase to retire the associated debt, which could easily sur-

pass $60 million for three schools.

So the school board votes 5-3 for a new Gibbs middle, but has no way to fund it. The school system’s own study indicates there’s no current need.

And the mayor is trying to pay down debt, not incur more.

Dave Wright has friends on the commission, but likely not enough to pass this proposal, especially without the mayor’s recommendation. Burchett will present his budget on May 11. And the Gibbs community will fight on, win or lose, forever if it takes it to get a middle school.

Hill leaves MPC ahead of new director Dave Hill has resigned from the staff of the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC). Likely this was done prior to the new director coming in. Hill, a highpaid city aide not retained

by Mayor Rogero, was hired at MPC by former director Mark Donaldson.

Cumberland Avenue merchants who overwhelmingly opposed the current construction along Cumberland Avenue at a cost of over $20 million wonder why Mayor Rogero never comments on the troubles being created by the project. She leaves explanation to littleknown subordinates such as Anne Wallace.

Bob Whetsel, who is working the project, retires from the city in October. Wallace will likely replace him. Whetsel will be missed.

One would think Wallace

Victor Ashe

would urge folks to visit the area during construction to have lunch or dinner and do business with those who have lost business due to this initiative from Rogero.

Perhaps Burchett will do it if Rogero continues to stay away. He was the active one a few years ago on Chapman Highway, and Cumberland Avenue is in Knox County.

It is surprising that city council has not spoken out on this economic stress for merchants. Even the two council members most likely to question a Rogero project have been quiet on this one.

Nick Della Volpe declined to sign on to the Rogero campaign as a host for her recent fundraiser. Rogero, who quietly opposed Della Volpe in 2013, is this year supporting all four council members seeking their second and final term – in return for them all backing her. All for one and one for all is the motto.

■ All three permanent city council employees are departing the city this fall. They are city recorder Cindy Mitchell, auditor Melissa Peters and secretary Susan Wilson. Mitchell leaves in September, followed by Peters in October and Wilson in November.

The three represent over 100 years of service to the city. The three are close friends, and once one left, the others did not want to remain. All had in their years to secure immediate

pension benefits.

Mitchell was hired by then-vice mayor Bernice O’Connor as assistant city recorder in 1979, which recommendation was approved by a council vote. She became recorder in 1981. She has served with six mayors and eight vice mayors. She served as president of the Tennessee Association of Municipal Clerks and Recorders and received in 2011 their Distinguished Service Award. She also received the Master Clerk Designation in 2009 from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks and Recorders.

■ Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis is leading the search to replace the three. The position of city recorder has been posted. Serving on the committee to interview applicants are Pavlis, finance director Jim York and civil service director Vickie Hat-

field. Hatfield is best known for having pushed Sam Anderson off the city civil service board due to residency questions.

Surprising here is that this is not a council-only committee, as the position being filled is uniquely a councilmanic one. Since the post has not been filled in 35 years, no one is quite sure what the procedure is. It’s unclear if council will vote on it as a body. The named person will achieve civil service status a few months after being hired. This is similar to tenure, making it difficult for future councils to make a change if they wished to do so.

■ The city pension board deadlocked on April 10 on what cost city employees must bear to buy back prior military service. Michael Paseur, who has a good attendance re-

cord, was absent due to his daughter’s illness.

The city charter provides that employees with military service can count it toward their pension. How would Paseur have voted?

Will the board redo the vote if all members are present?

The two Rogero appointees split on this issue, with Rogero casting an anti-veteran vote.

■ City council member Finbarr Saunders will have a fundraiser for his re-election May 6 at the architectural office of fellow council member Duane Grieve on Emory Place.

Marshall Stair has sent out a letter seeking donations.

All are unopposed at present. Qualifying deadline for mayor, city judge and council is noon June 18.

Broiled Seafood Combination

By Mystery Diner Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) wrap up a mission in Eastern Europe.

sequel starts summer season

By Betsy Pickle With “Avengers: Age of Ultron” scaring off all the competition at the box office this weekend, the summer games begin with its Thursdaynight debut.

The competition for summerScarlett Johansson movie dolplays Black Widow. lars is always fierce, but “Age of Ultron” has an edge. It’s the follow-up to “The Avengers,” the third-highestgrossing movie of all time (after “Avatar” and “Titanic”). And with positive reviews trumpeting its way, it sounds as though this assemblage of Marvel heroes will be drawing crowds for weeks, if not months.

After saving the world from intergalactic villainy in 2012’s “The Avengers,” comic-book superheroes Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor

(Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) et al. must deal with a human-made threat this time.

Ultron (voiced by James Spader) was created as an artificialintelligence program designed to keep peace in the world, but his aspirations transform him into a metal maniac with a thirst for world domination.

Other villains making life interesting for the heroes include Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).

Also starring are Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Paul Bettany as Vision, Anthony Mackie as The Falcon and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter.

Joss Whedon returns as director and writer.

Hidden away – yet visible from one of Knoxville’s busiest streets – Chesapeake’s restaurant is worth the turns and fumbled directions it often takes first-timers to get there.

A part of the Copper Cellar family, Chesapeake’s is a fine-dining seafood restaurant located on Henley Street – according to the post office – but accessible only from Union Avenue in downtown Knoxville.

GPS users should use the 600 Union Ave. address.

Leave navigation troubles at the door and embrace the nautical Eastern seashore as you enter.

Chesapeake’s is an open, warm restaurant that can be cozy or rambunctious, depending on your mood and party.

If you order anything other than seafood at Chesapeake’s – well, I just don’t even know what to do with you. Yes, the appetizer onion rings are good – until you compare them to the Spiced Blue Crab Fingers.

After a cup of really rich crab bisque, Mys-

tery Diner was tempted to look at the sandwich menu, which boasts a Maryland Crab Cake Sandwich and Fried Fish Sandwich (along with other non-seafood items, but we’ve already had this discussion.). In the end, the Broiled Seafood Combination just was too tempting and also made a good lunch the next day.

The Seafood Combination is especially perfect for those of us who aren’t oyster fans. No need for substitutions when the platter has fresh fish, scallops, shrimp and a Maryland crab cake. The entire combination is sprinkled with breadcrumbs, lemon and butter. Yummy.

If by some chance you skip the appetizers and the soup, indulge in one of the city’s best desserts: Slower Delaware Pie. The chocolate cookie crust is laced with Kahlua then filled with Mayfield’s coffee ice cream and topped with hot fudge sauce, toasted pecans and Chantilly cream.

Makes you wish your GPS could drive the car home.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

By Carol Shane Knoxvillians have long enjoyed home tours, usually in historic neighborhoods such as Fourth and Gill and Old North Knoxville. Old-house buffs can certainly find plenty to look at – our city boasts hundreds of beautiful Victorian and Craftsman dwellings.

But how about some new homes in old spaces? Spaces that weren’t originally meant to be residential?

Get ready for The City People Home Tour this weekend. Subtitled “Urban Spaces in Downtown Knoxville,” the tour includes 13 homes in 11 buildings.

Since its inception in 1985, the event has grown steadily. The first tour was called “Two Hundred Years of Living in the Old City” and included popular continental restaurant Annie’s (now defunct) and an artist gallery.

Presented by downtown Knoxville organization City People in partnership with Knox Heritage, this year’s tour includes Gay Street, several connecting side streets and beyond to the south side’s riverfront, as well as the north side’s Old City.

Developer David Dewhirst, who

owns several featured properties, says, “The City People Home Tour is the very best tool for downtown Knoxville to illustrate to a curious public the uniqueness and pleasure of urban living.”

Included on the tour are: ■ The Commerce Lofts, 122 S. Gay St. Built in the 1890s to support the growing Jackson Avenue warehouse district, it now holds 24 lofts and three commercial spaces.

■ White Lily Flats, 222 N. Central St. The original section of this building dates to 1885. The home of J. Allen Smith & Co., it has come to be known as the White Lily Building, after the company’s most famous product, White Lily Flour. The brand was later bought by the J.M. Smucker Co., and the mill closed in 2008.

■ The Holston, 531 S. Gay St. Known as the Hope Brothers Building, this 1898 structure started out housing a shoe store. In 1908, Hope Brothers Jewelers took up residence, operating as “Dealers in Rare Things and Fine Jewelry.”

■ JFG Flats, 200 W. Jackson Ave.

This five-story structure was built in 1924 and has served as a JFG coffee roasting plant for most of its history.

Founded in Morristown in 1882, the JFG company also offered tea, mayonnaise and peanut butter.

■ Gallery Lofts, 402 S. Gay St. Constructed after 1897’s “Million Dollar Fire,” which destroyed this entire block, the building was home to the McNulty Grocery and Dry Goods Co. Its lower floors are now the home of Mast General Store.

■ Emporium Lofts, 112 S. Gay St. Built in 1902 as the new home of Sterchi Brothers Furniture Store, it now holds residential and commercial spaces. One of the unique features of the building is that it retains access to underground Gay Street.

The City People Urban Homes Tour takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 1, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 2. Visitors will park and ride the trolley to each destination.

Tickets are $15. Info: 209-1616, citypeople.knox@gmail.com, or citypeoplehometour.org.

Weekend to explore Knoxville’s role in Civil War This weekend’s Blue and Gray Reunion and Freedom Jubilee will offer a host of activities for Civil War buffs as well as those who love Knoxville history.

The weekend is a combined effort of the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission and local historical organizations.

Registration is required for the state event, titled “Reconstruction in Tennessee,” at tncivilwar150.com.

Local offerings include Civil War fort tours, an 1860s baseball game, museum exhibits, a Civil War Exposition and notable performers and speakers like the Fisk Jubilee Singers, actor Ben Vereen and “Gettysburg”/“Gods and Generals” director Ron Maxwell, who will speak at the Blue and Gray Reunion Dinner − the only ticketed event.

The events are designed to educate the public on Knoxville’s unique role in the Civil War. Many will highlight the role that local John Hitt, portraying Captain James Rogers McCallum, and Ed African-Americans played White, portraying Colonel John Bell Brownlow, will participate in the war.

tory of African-Americans in Knoxville, will be available at the Freedom Jubilee opening ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, May 2, at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, 1927 Dandridge Ave. The pamphlet includes details of the 1st U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery, mustered in Knoxville in February 1864.

In 1860, the city had approximately 4,000 residents, and 10 percent were slaves, says Calvin Chappelle, executive director of the Mabry-Hazen House, 1711 Dandridge Ave. The area had divided loyalties, so it was easier to muster black troops here than it would have been in the Deep South.

The pamphlet also describes a city-funded project to transcribe thousands of pages of handwritten records of the regiment that are part of the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The first of three volumes of the transcription will be unveiled at the opening ceremony, and Chappelle says the searchable PDF file will provide valuable insight into the lives of the soldiers.

cluded in the weekend’s events. Odd Fellows Cemetery will be open 1-5 p.m. on Saturday, and graves of Civil War veterans, including those from the 1st U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery, will be decorated. Visitors should park at Walter Hardy Park, 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. Old Gray Cemetery, 543 N. Broadway, will have a living history exhibit at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Bearden resident Bud Albers will talk about his grandfather, Andrew Jackson Albers, who chaired Knoxville’s 1890 Civil War reunion, and is buried at Old Gray. Reenactors will portray other noteworthy veterans buried there, like Colonel John Bell Brownlow and James Rogers McCallum, a member of “The Immortal 600,” a

group of Confederate soldiers used as human shields on Morris Island in Charleston harbor.

Over 240 veterans, from both sides, are interred at Old Gray, says executive director Alix Dempster.

First Presbyterian, 620 State Street, is acknowledging the weekend’s events with a service titled “Remembrance, Reunion and Reconciliation in a Divided Nation.” Music will come from an 1890 hymnal, and Beck Cultural Exchange Center president Renee Kessler and state Rep. Joe Armstrong will participate.

The service is intended to recognize the contributions of African American soldiers during the Civil War, says Pastor William Pender.

Emerald Youth Sansom Sports Complex opens fields to urban kids On the evening of April 21, city boys and girls played on the fields of the Emerald Youth Sansom Sports Complex for the first time.

About 250 children aged 4 to about 12 poured onto the fields for soccer practice. With the urban skyline in the background, they ran on the synthetic turf fields, kicking soccer balls into the brand new goals as parents and friends watched with joy.

There will be an official rib-

bon cutting and grand opening later this summer, so this was an informal event. But this was a special moment for the children, their families and all who work with Emerald Youth Sports.

When complete, the new complex will feature four fields, three of which are synthetic turf, and a 4,000 square foot field house to accommodate performance training, ticket sales and concessions.

A Message from Steve Diggs, Emerald Youth President and CEO

Elementary kids have a blast at camp Rock climbing, zip lining, skits and fellowship were highlights of Emerald Youth’s annual Elementary School Camp recently. About 140 elementary school children traveled to Camp Ta-Pa-Win-Go in Watauga April 10-12 for a weekend of fun and community.

Children enjoyed outdoor games like sand volleyball and participated in a Bible study program.

Malaysia Nix, Jayvaunice Jones, Megan Grandstaff and Pedro Jose-Paswal, all from the Western Heights Baptist Center.

Fun was on the minds of 140 city kids who attended Emerald Y o u t h Fou nd ation’s elementar y camp recently at Camp TaPa-Wi nSteve Diggs Go near Johnson City.

Having fun is a key part of Emerald Youth’s focus.

We believe that kids need fun things to do, just as they need Christian faith, relationships with caring adults, academic encouragement and physical activities like sports. Fun and relationships make one another happen.

The children had a great time including hours spent zip lining, on a climbing wall and

playing camp games. But the best part of camp is always the relationship building, when they learn about God’s love for them and draw close to others in safe community.

This year at camp, the children learned about how God has used kids like them to accomplish His plans. Those kids included the Bible characters David, Joseph and Timothy. David, after all, was a shepherd boy, Joseph a spoiled younger son, and Timothy a biracial youth in an early Christian community, but all did heroic things. A special set of whiteboard videos produced by Rustic Roots Creative helped the youth identify what those biblical youngsters might have felt.

Afterward, the kids wrote their feelings to-

ward God on whiteboards such as, “Dear God…”: “I want to be a leader.”

“When are you coming back to earth?”

“I am often bullied.

Can you help me?”

“Make me stronger and be there for my family.”

Fulton High School students Arshon Geter and Billy Bradley added hilarious theatrical elements to the weekend.

Emerald Youth has taken hundreds of children on fun weekend camp retreats over the years. Now many of those kids are grown and taking their own children to the same places we took them — to play miniature golf, hiking, trips to the mountains and trips to theme parks.

I am so glad our God of love wants us to have fun, to play and to enjoy life!

Carter High senior Taylor Freeman signed to play soccer at Milligan College next year.

The fouryear varsity team member played center back and center mid, but acFreeman cording to Fulton High assistant football coach Bob Black awards Tony coach Mark Proctor, she was an extremely versatile playGunn with the Tony O’Brien Team Player Award. er and has played just about every position at Carter at least once. He also praised Taylor for her hard work ethic, ball-handling skills and good leadership as team captain for two years.

Coach Vincent Lambdin presented the Academic Award to Damon Lawson and Adam Diggs.

While at Milligan, Taylor plans to study nursing.

During a visit to the school, she liked the environment and the fact that campus was close to home but far enough away.

Milligan coach Lisa Buckley said, “Taylor is a fantastic student and talented athlete. She will fit in well with the school culture, and I look forward to seeing her play at the next level.”

Attending the signing were her parents, Amy and Richard Capps, sister Danie Freeman, grandmother Connie Capps, her club coaches, teammates and a room full of friends.

Mayor talks straight to kids

By Sandra Clark Tim Burchett has a knack for talking with people – especially kids.

The mayor thoroughly entertained the newspaper club at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy.

He talked about bamboo, a current hobby. He invited them to follow him on Twitter. He showed video of his bamboo skateboards and said he still has more than 100 motorcycles, even though he sold several after he got married. He even talked about worm poop, saying, “If it wasn’t for worms, the world would be square.”

Burchett showed video of the igloo he built for his stepdaughter, Isabel, and said the project almost killed him.

“That’s why I shut down the county

that second (snow) day – so I could finish the igloo,” he joked.

He said he enjoyed his 16 years in the state Legislature, but after his election as mayor he had an epiphany.

He was “in line at Wright’s Cafeteria, right between the mystery meat and the mashed potatoes,” when another customer joked that a county employee would be paying with a P-card.

“I knew it was time to put up or shut up,” Burchett said. He returned his county-owned car and instituted policies to clamp down on wasteful spending. It’s important to Burchett that no citizen thinks money is being wasted on his watch.

Reporter Safari Bahati asked if he likes to meet famous people. “I’d rath-

er meet with ordinary people,” said Burchett.

Mindful of her five Ws, Eddys Garcia-Arias asked when he became mayor. “September 2010,” said Burchett.

“I’m going to be nice to you because you might need someone to mow your lawn in three years (when he’s termlimited).”

Destiny Woods noted that Burchett’s assistant Michael Grider came with him to the school. Grider said he’s lost 38 pounds by biking.

She wrote that when World War II came, Burchett’s daddy went to war and his mother took flying lessons and flew a plane solo. Tim’s hobby (one of them) is metal-detecting. He said he’s found about $65, “righteous money.”

Beard talks Y

Vickey Beard works out of the Cansler YWCA in East Knoxville, but she’s in charge of Healthy Living for all five Ys in Knox County.

Jamarion Chambers wrote that the initials stand for Young Men’s Christian Association. Women were admitted to programs later.

The phone number is 637YMCA. Jatoria White reported Beard’s description of Y programming including swimming and other “fun things.” Beard said the Y has taught more people to swim than any other organization.

The Y grows gardens and donates food to area food pantries. Just this week the Y launched a rooftop garden on top of the downtown branch in conjunction with Home Federal Bank.

“You don’t need lots of money to go to the Y,” Beard said. “We can give scholarships, but you have to be 14 to come by yourself.”

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

May 6 Knoxville 5FIVE15 Fun Run to Benefit Amputee Athletes Seventeen-yearold DJ Vander wer f loves to run.

The Sweetwater teen enjoys competing in 5K road races and continuously cha llenges himself to improve his speed and race times.

DJ Vanderwerf com“I’m acpetes in a 5K wearing tive and alhis prosthesis from Amways on the putee Blade Runners. go. I believe you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it,” says Vanderwerf.

Running hasn’t always been a smooth road for Vanderwerf. Because of a birth defect, his left foot was amputated when he was just 9 months old. He’s been wearing a prosthesis ever since.

Despite his prosthesis, Vanderwerf has excelled at many sports, earning top spots on the Sweetwater High School football, basketball and baseball teams.

“I don’t see myself as different because of my prosthesis. I’m just a normal kid who loves to play sports,” says Vanderwerf.

The only sport Vanderwerf has struggled to conquer is distance running. The prosthesis leg he has for daily wear and team sports isn’t suitable for comfortable distance running.

Two years ago Vanderwerf and his family learned about Amputee Blade Runners (ABR), a non-profit group that provides free running prosthetics for amputee athletes. ABR’s team of prosthetists, physicians and fabricators donate their time to construct and fit athletes with a custom running leg. Because running prosthesis are not considered “medically neces-

sary”, they aren’t normally covered by insurance. Through ABR, Vanderwerf was fitted with a flexible carbon-fiber blade that has allowed him to run safely and comfortably ever since.

Now, Vanderwerf hopes to raise awareness about Amputee Blade Runners and assist them in helping other amputees. He’s serving as an Ambassador for ABR’s 5FIVE15 fundraiser.

It will be held Wednesday, May 6, at 5:30pm, at Bearden Runner’s Market in Knoxville.

“Donate $5 and run or walk for five minutes or five miles. We hope to raise $15,000 to buy running sports legs for five amputees,” explains Vanderwerf.

The May 6th Knoxville event is part of the national 5FIVE15 Campaign. Amputee Blade Runners’ goal is to provide a running prosthesis to at least one athlete in all 50 states by 2016. Vanderwerf says it’s a goal worth striving for.

“ABR helps adults and kids like me be active and normal. It’s a great organization and I hope people will come out and help us reach our goal!”

Home Federal dedicates 25th Habitat house Home Federal Bank employees gathered with Knoxville Habitat for Humanity representatives and new homeowner Anne Hilliard for a dedication ceremony celebrating the completion of her new home in the Silver Leaf subdivision in East Knoxville.

The dedication of this home marks Home Federal Bank’s 25th consecutive year as a covenant partner with Knoxville Habitat for Humanity. Covenant partners provide half of the cash

needed to build a house, currently $40,000, plus significant manpower to aid in construction. Home Federal Bank is Knoxville Habitat for Humanity’s longeststanding covenant partner.

Hilliard is described by those who know her as adaptive and ambitious, once homeless but never hopeless. She does a good job of describing what this Habitat Home means to her.

“I know what it’s like not to have a place to live. When you have to rely on others,

you never know what is going to happen, and it is not a safe situation. It is a reassuring feeling knowing you have a place to lay your head. I am very grateful for the peace in my heart that I have found again.”

Kelle Shultz, president and CEO of Knoxville Habitat, said, “We are grateful for Home Federal Bank’s longstanding position as a covenant partner and are fortunate to have such a generous corporate citizen in our city.”

UT Medical Center uses DeRoyal tracking system UT Medical Center and DeRoyal Industries are partnering on a supplies tracking system with the potential to revolutionize efficiency and patient safety in the operating room. The system, Continuum OR, created by DeRoyal and tested

Termites?

and refined at the medical center, uses radio frequency identification technology to develop surgery procedure supply lists specific to each surgeon and improve inventory management and supply tracking.

“As in most facilities, the tracking of supplies was primarily a manual system often performed by clinical

staff,” said Brian C. DeBusk, chief executive officer at DeRoyal Industries.

The average rate of items collected for a surgical procedure that are not used has been estimated to be as high 70 percent. As a result of the collaboration the medical center has seen improvements to operating room efficiencies and patient safety.
