Milligan Street, between Magnolia and Martin Luther King Jr. avenues, has been renamed Beal Bourne Street to honor the longtime community advocate and local businessman. “Beal is an energetic individual who believes in the Knoxville community and does whatever he can to help people achieve their dreams, often going out of his way to serve people in need,� said the Rev. Harold Middlebrook, a longtime friend of Bourne. Originally from Virginia, Bourne graduated from the University of Maryland. Now he is the funeral director of Jarnigan & Son Mortuary on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. Jarnigan & Son Mortuary, established by Clem Jarnigan in 1886, is believed to be Knoxville’s oldest blackowned business. Bourne also expressed a love for helping people in need. Since moving to Knoxville in 1973, he has been dedicated to serving East Knoxville’s community. He is a member of the C.C. Russell Masonic Lodge, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Commission and a former member of the Knox County Library Board.

as executive director of Knoxville’s Police Advisory and Review Committee (PARC). Reid started out as a volunteer committee member for PARC while she was still at TVA, and when the existing executive director stepped down, she moved into a leadership position. During her years at PARC, she facilitated diversity training sessions for law enforcement recruits, educating the officers to “have a more open perception of people who are not like them,� says Reid. She brought in volunteers from various communities to interact

with the recruits and “have open dialogue in a non-threatening way.� She also educated community members on better ways to interact with law enforcement. Reid says, “Each of us woke up this morning with whatever experiences we’ve had.� Problems can often arise, she says, when people with one set of life experiences are expected to understand those with completely different backgrounds. Such problems escalate in tense situations. To page 3

Legislature to rewrite laws on elder abuse By Betty Bean Knox County District Attorney General Charme Allen can’t discuss open cases, but in the two years since she took office, she has become convinced that existing state law is too antiquated to deal with the growing problem of elder abuse. “Laws (addressing elder abuse) have always been on the books, but it’s not clearly defined. There’s the Criminal Code and the Adult Protective Services section, and we haven’t been able to rely on criminal laws. Last year, laws went on the books but there was still no comprehensive rewrite under the criminal code. New types of crimes are being committed – exploitation and financial crimes,� Allen said. One case she can talk about is that of an octogenarian woman whose “caregiver� forced her to watch him have sex with his girlfriend. Allen was frustrated when she learned that she didn’t have a criminal statute to punish the perpetrator. Elder abuse laws in the Adult Protective Services section of the code often have definitions that are vague and overly broad. “We have deemed sex crimes against children to be much worse than sex crimes against adults, but no particular sexual assault law was written to deal with elder abuse, so there

was nothing we could charge, and there’s no enhancement in sexual assault laws for crimes against elders.� No case law means no prosecution, said Allen, who has assigned two prosecutors, Andrea Kline and Willie Santana, to pursue Knox County’s growing number of cases in this category. Kline has been deeply involved in rewriting elder abuse laws for the reform package the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference will present to the Legislature when it convenes in January 2017. This package will consolidate elder abuse offenses and give law enforcement a clear and accessible guide to applicable charges and punishments. Last week, Allen joined Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch, Mayor Madeline Rogero

and U.S. Attorney Nancy Harr at a press conference announcing a $350,000 federal grant to be administered by KPD that will investigate elder abuse issues including emotional, financial, physical, sexual and neglect. Allen’s office defines “elders� as those who are 65 and older. Part of the grant’s purpose will be to educate law enforcement and professionals who work with the elderly, community members and clergy, to recognize elder abuse. Some staggering numbers were introduced: In the fiscal year that ended June 30, Knox County’s Adult Protective Services opened 483 investigations, 422 of which were within Knoxville city limits. They included 105 allegations of emotional abuse, 130 allegations of financial exploitation, 311 allegations of neglect, 78 allegations of physical abuse and 13 allegations of sexual abuse. Because financial abuse has been at the heart of 65 percent of the cases her office has been able to charge, Allen said Kline and Santana will be working closely with Bill Bright, who specializes in white-collar crime. “Hopefully, the conference will be able to roll this out and come out with an entire new code section by January,� Allen said.

Justin Snow achieves his dream Thanks to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center Justin Snow celebrated his 40th birthday by finishing a marathon. While that in itself is a great story, it’s just one chapter for Snow, because he completed the marathon just a few years after having both hips replaced at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I’ve always believed in going big and living the dream,” Snow says with a grin. Snow has been active all his life, and has a passion for sports. After pitching for the baseball team at East Tennessee State University, he settled into the life of a family man, but never slowed down. While training for his second half Justin Snow achieved his marathon in 2010, dream of completing a full Snow began to feel pain marathon on April 3, 2016, in his hips.

When Snow began training for his first full marathon attempt in 2011, the pain became so intense that he had to give up. “It got to the point where it was affecting my everyday life,” he says. Snow’s wife, Buffy, agrees. “We would go to UT games, and he would have to stop five or six times on the way to the stadium,” Buffy Snow says. “We’d go to the grocery store, and his hips would just burn, and he’d have to find a place to sit down.” “I’m on my feet a lot at work, and it got so bad I was having to sit down,” he says. His job requires travel, and getting in and out of a car was also painful.

Tips on how to avoid joint injuries Avoid doing too much, too soon. Never increase the length of your workouts by more than 10 percent from one week to the next, and never increase both the length and intensity of your workout at the same time. Maintain strength in the muscles surrounding the joint area. To strengthen the knees, do calf raises, lunges, squats and leg lifts.

Train smart by cross-training. Repetitive-motion injuries caused by doing just one sport or workout are some of the most common. You can prevent them by doing different sports or activities that work different muscles. Never skip your warm-up or cool down. Tight or stiff muscles around a joint will make the area more prone to injury.

Always use proper technique and body mechanics when playing sports involving repetitive motion, such as tennis and golf. Taking lessons from a certified coach or trainer every once in a while can help you learn and stick with proper form, which can reduce your injury risk substantially. Keep in shape. A high cardiovascular fitness level is crucial to avoid joint injuries. Otherwise, as you tire your form can fail and your joints carry unbalanced weight. Be sure to wear proper shoes that provide adequate support during exercise.

government Why the school board changed By Lauren Hopson Seven of our nine Knox County school board members (come Sept. 1) have education backgrounds – a feat rarely, if ever, seen in an urban school Lauren Hopson district. Yet many in the local media still have no clue what just happened or why. Comments are frequently made that the elections were all about getting rid of Superintendent Jim McIntyre, and now that he has left office, there is nothing left for teachers to organize around. Wrong. Dead Wrong. Flipping school board seats was never about a person, but an ideology. People still holding that ideology are just waiting to take those seats back and do what they can to mandate top down management, push out experienced educators, and support charters, vouchers, inappropriate testing, and any other program that will suck public dollars out of our schools. Knoxville is the last urban holdout for a slew of charter schools, and if we think the dark money put into Nashville school board races this year won’t come for us, we are sorely mistaken. Test scores are not what earn the true bragging rights of a good school system. Scores are some of the easiest statistics to manipulate. Why has no one questioned our former superintendent’s unwillingness to come to the defense of Bearden High School when test scores dropped? I’ll answer that one. If you question the validity of low scores that may be an embarrassment to the system, you must also question the validity of high scores on which you hang your hat. A flawed system is a flawed system, no matter which end of the scale you expose. Saying our school system is headed in the right direction simply because test scores and graduation rates are up shows either benign ignorance or a willful refusal to look beneath the surface. Also, I am bothered by the continuing erroneous belief that our former superintendent’s problems with teachers were an unfortunate result of state mandates.

Well ... that may be true ... unless you remember that he testified to Congress about how great he thought all these new reform policies would be. He refused to align with other superintendents across the state who attempted to push back on some of the “test scores at all costs” and other illconceived reforms, again voicing his support instead. He actually increased the difficulty level for some of the state guidelines for the new evaluation system, a move that was undone by the outcries of teachers. Additionally, I am frustrated with the negative spin in the soundbite that the upcoming BOE sessions will look like a teachers’ union meeting. To that I say, “Why shouldn’t they?” Nobody complained when only one former educator was on the board helping to set educational policy for our county. Why is an “unbalanced” board an issue now? Educators who are deeply involved in their union are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable in their field. They don’t just do their job and go home. They spend their “spare” time researching educational issues across the country and advocating for their students. This leads to my final point. I want the media to understand that “teacher issues” are student issues. At what point did things that are good for teachers became unequivocally bad for students? Meat and potatoes issues that teachers care about … class size, plan time, discipline, turnover, professional development, toxic testing, under staffing, inadequate funding, etc. all have a direct impact on the success and well-being of our students. Parents and community members are starting to understand the issues. That is why the school board is vastly different than it was three years ago. Are the teachers passionate and organized? Yes. They did what they were born to do. They educated and inspired others, getting parents and other community members to vote with them. The school board elections turned out as they did because the public is starting to listen and then ask the right questions of the people who actually live education every day.

Staples to Dems: ‘They’re coming after us’ A couple of points about Rick Staples getting the nod to replace ousted incumbent Joe Armstrong on the ballot in the 15th state House race: ■ The entire Knox County Democratic Party can’t fit into a phone booth (even if they could find a phone booth nowadays). Fifty people crammed into a very small room to witness the vote for Armstrong’s replacement. A couple dozen more were denied entry by the cop at the door. ■ Staples is no longer the Charlie Brown of East Knoxville politics. ■ And here’s a bonus point: With Staples headed to Nashville and Evelyn Gill taking the District 1 County Commission seat, the coalition known as the Five Points Five that has long controlled the political establishment in Knoxville’s black community has suffered a serious blow (for now, at least). Eleven of the 15 Knox County Democratic Party officers eligible to vote went for Staples. Two women who’d expressed interest in the seat, Jackie Clay and Armstrong’s wife, Letonia Armstrong, withdrew their names and were

Betty Bean not nominated. Each candidate was given a couple of minutes for a campaign pitch, and Staples, who previously lost a race for City Council’s fourth district and this summer’s commission race against Gill in the Democratic Primary (which most observers expected him to win), hammered home a change message, challenging the audience to drive down Magnolia Avenue and take a look around: “What is my experience? I’m there. And I do it because I can. I’m about this community. I got the legs. I got the youthfulness and I’ve also got my mother.” Cleola Staples, who owned and operated a preschool on Holston Drive was sitting in the audience next to former Commissioner Diane Jordan. He issued a warning that the party needs to unify, reminding the audience that Armstrong was the last Democrat left in the Knox County

Diane Jordan, Rick Staples and Cleola Staples legislative delegation. “They’re coming after us, and we have to keep this seat – not just for this year, but for the future.” Presumably Staples is thinking about 2018, since the GOP didn’t bother to field a candidate in this year’s 15th district race – a curious omission for the Red to the Roots bunch, given the timing of Armstrong’s tax evasion trial – and it is unlikely that Independent candidate Pete Drew, who has run for more offices than anyone can count since Armstrong took the seat from him in 1988 after he switched from

Democrat to Republican, will pose much of a threat in November. It’s also unlikely that Staples’ change in status made much difference in Staples’ weekend plans – planning for an interest meeting of the 100 Black Men of Knoxville and young men whom they will mentor over the coming year, working on a September chess tournament for young people. “I didn’t realize how busy I am until recently when I overbooked myself one day,” Staples said. “I have to be the busiest person in Knoxville that doesn’t have a title.”

Hart’s departure could bring back Lady Vols With Dave Hart’s retirement, which will be greeted with applause by Lady Vols fans, it is time to restore the name as a lasting tribute to Pat Summitt. Hart’s contract amendment will give him a buyout of over $600,000; the public will want to know if he receives any other retirement benefits from the state or university. This column predicted Hart and Chancellor Jimmy Cheek retirements and we renew our prediction of a position for Madeline Rogero in a potential Hillary Clinton Administration, occurring in the summer of 2017. Rogero, a few months ago, downplayed it by saying she was not seeking a position. She has asked others not to promote it. Of course, saying you are not seeking a federal appointment is not a denial of a willingness to serve if offered. It is not even close. Rogero has not answered whether she would serve out her full term or decline a federal post if offered. Actually, it is a real compliment to the mayor that she is being mentioned as a Clinton appointee and an even greater honor if it is offered. It seems crystal clear that, if offered, she would quickly accept. Rogero likes public service. This would allow her to go to a level where she is already active with climate change and women’s issues. She

Victor Ashe

has traveled to China, Turkey and Los Angeles for the Obama Administration. It could trigger a pay raise of over $30,000 a year in most positions she might be offered. She will be 65 next year and will have only two years left in her final term as mayor. A federal post would give her four to eight years of additional employment and vesting in the federal pension system on top of the city pension she receives the day she leaves office. The four years could become eight if Clinton is re-elected, taking her to age 73. There is virtually no elective local or regional office she could win after mayor due to her liberal leanings. She leads the only Democratic enclave in East Tennessee and is term limited. What would be a position for Rogero? Certainly assistant secretary of labor or housing would be doable and logical. An assistant secretary of state for human rights or women’s issues would also be credible. She might have a U.S. Senate confirmed position or one free from the Senate confirmation process. Her key staff and several directors may hope she does

not depart before December 2019 as their jobs are not assured under a new or even interim mayor. ■ City Council: Knoxville architect Randall DeFord is seen as a strong contender for Nick Pavlis’ seat. DeFord is active in Fort Sanders historical preservation efforts. Former council member Joe Hultquist may run. Stanton Webster, a Fort Sanders resident, is another possibility. Nick Della Volpe is termlimited in District 4. Lauren Rider is clearly running and longtime neighborhood activist Jeff Talman is giving it consideration. David Williams, who ran against Finbarr Saunders, is running for the Duane Grieve seat. Also mentioned are Terry Faulkner, Bearden activist; Sandi Robinson, West Hills sidewalk advocate; Wayne Christensen, former director of Knox Youth Sports; Doug Veum, retired; and Marleen Davis, who ran strongly but unsuccessfully for County Commission two weeks ago. Veum, Davis and Christensen all live in Sequoyah Hills. James Corcoran is mentioned for the Brenda Palmer seat, along with former council member Steve Hall, who has lost his last two races for state representative. Hall still has $10,000 left over from his losing legislative races. County Commissioner Sam McKenzie is mentioned

for the Daniel Brown seat. ■ Bob Thomas, announced candidate for Knox County mayor in 2018, has raised over $95,000 but $50,000 is a loan from Thomas himself. The GOP candidate also received generous donations from two well-known Democrats, former U.S. Senate candidate Gordon Ball, $500; and Farragut developer Doug Horne, $500. Former 911 director Bob Coker gave $200. ■ State Rep. Martin Daniel was congratulated election night by a joint call from House Speaker Beth Harwell and Gov. Bill Haslam. Several Haslam friends in Knoxville had financially supported Daniel’s opponent, Steve Hall, this summer while Harwell’s PAC had donated $1,500 to Daniel as did ECD Commissioner Randy Boyd who is from Knoxville. Daniel, along with state Reps. Jason Zachary and Roger Kane, face Democratic opponents in November. However, the marquee contest will be the Gloria Johnson-Eddie Smith rematch on Nov. 8. It will be hard-fought and close as it was in 2014. The composition of the district is almost even between the two parties. Trump leading the GOP ticket may harm Smith. Rogero will help Johnson and Haslam will help Smith, who chairs the Knox delegation.

Opening-game memories Excitement is peaking. The lid may blow off the pressure cooker at any time. The opening game is almost here. Alarmists say don’t take Appalachian State for granted. I say the Mountaineers have a problem, a very serious problem. This Tennessee team is poised to make memories. I’ve collected a few from opening games over fourfifths of an exciting lifetime watching football Volunteers. Some memories are better than others. Perhaps you recall … 1950: Cousin Ray Byrd, reserve fullback, told me the Vols were going to be good. I went to the opening game because of a complimentary ticket. I was 16. I didn’t

As if his life depended on it, Peanut ran down the bandit and made the tackle at the 3. “The thought flashed through my mind that if I didn’t catch him, that might be my last play as quarterback at the University of Tennessee.” The Vols squeezed that threat down to a field goal and won in a romp, 34-3. 1976: A guy you never heard of, Vince Fusco, kicked three extra points for Duke, and the Blue Devils won, 21-18, because Tennessee failed three times at conversions.

thin as a fishing line, was virtually invisible for two years behind quarterback Alan Cockrell. Tony’s combined stats were six for 15 passing and 12 runs for minus six yards. Tony moped. Tony fretted. Tony went home once, considered going again and asked about getting his old job back at a hardware store in Tallahassee. Quarterback coach Walt Harris said Tony just didn’t have his heart in being second-team. When Cockrell got out of the way (he went pro in baseball), Robinson blossomed. In his first game at the controls, the opener against Washington State, he completed 13 of 16 and suddenly became the best quarterback nobody had heard of. 1998: Jeff Hall’s field goal won the Syracuse game at the final horn in the Car-

Tee Martin (nine for 26) fell far short of spectacular as Peyton Manning’s replacement but did run better. Syracuse took the lead late and probably thought it had won when Tee threw incomplete on what appeared to be the final fourth down. Not so. The home team was flagged for pass interference. The official got it right. The defensive back hit the receiver a fraction of a second early, but you can’t count on such precise officiating on the road. As you may have heard, Tennessee took full advantage of that reprieve. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

A teacher of children “… and if you are sure that you are a … teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth, you, then, that teach others, will you not teach yourself?” (Romans 2: 19, 20-21 NRSV)

Trainer Cindy Solomon with the Rev. L.B. Harrell, Bill Warden, Tom Kearney and Harry Shehan at Bob Temple North Side Y’s Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s class last week. Harrell, Kearney, and Warden were celebrating birthdays. Photo by Shannon Carey

Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s at the Y By Jake Mabe You want to hear an inspirational story? Found one at the Y. The Rev. L.B. Harrell’s wife tipped us on it. You may remember L.B. either for his preaching or his longtime presence at Midway Barber Shop in Halls. Every Tuesday and Friday at 12:30 p.m. for about a year, Harrell, Tom Kearney, Harry Shehan and Bill Warden, under the watchful eye of trainer Cindy Solomon, pedal for Parkinson ’s disease. And, oh, has it helped. The Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s mission is to improve quality of life for Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers, support treatment research, and educate caregivers, the public,

and most importantly the patients themselves about the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle. It’s part of the Y’s gentle faith-based philosophy on living well. “So many people will not come out and do this,” Shehan said. “You can’t sit and wait for it to go away.” Kearney has noticed marked improvement in his gait. “You get on a (stationary) bike and maintain a rhythm. It helps, because the body does not produce enough dopamine to adjust. Just doing the exercise is working. It’s definitely worth putting the time into (doing).” Each has different symptoms, and each has a different type of Parkinson’s.

Each sets goals of speed, time and miles. Each says it works. One says it works better than boxing (a common exercise for Parkinson’s patients). “Amazing” is the word Warden used. And, they didn’t say it in so many words, but I got the feeling the fellowship is a factor, too. Harrell says it’s helped him a lot. He can now go home and mow the yard with a push mower. “It’s even helped with my thinking.” They all praised Solomon, said her encouragement and the music she plays helps them keep pedaling. “These guys, they’ll have tremors, pedal, get off the bike, walk normally, and have improved speech and

memory,” Solomon said. The program is open to idiopathic Parkinson’s patients aged 30-75 who complete and sign required consent and medical forms and agree to periodic monitoring of their progress. Parkinson’s patients with cardiac or pulmonary disease, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, dementia or other conditions that make exercise dangerous are not eligible. Classes are free for Y members and $5 per class for non-members. It is offered at every Knox area Y location. For more info about the Halls program, call 9229622.

School buses are rolling again. I grew up among teachers: at home, school, church, in the community. I majored in music education and taught a few years before moving on to other forms of ministry. Along the way, I discovered there were different kinds of teachers. There were those who taught rules, those who taught content of books and those who taught children. I wanted to be one who taught children – and later, adults. As a school year begins, I think about classrooms, teachers, support staff and students. I hope that every person who works in a school cares about kids! I remember the custodians at my school. They were as much a part of the staff as the principal. They took care of us.

any job is important and should be done well and thoroughly. They cleaned up when we made messes and, to my knowledge, never complained. I remember teachers – the ones who cared, went the extra mile, kept us interested and challenged, and helped us grow up. One of my most poignant memories is seeing a miracle. There was a boy in school who had physical challenges. He struggled to carry his lunch tray, and sometimes he dropped it. One day, Mother was in the cafeteria when he came through the line. She showed him a way to hold his tray and carry it to his table successfully. As long as she lived, my mother remembered his turning around and beaming a smile at her – because she had taught him a lesson in competence.

The dog ate my homework? By Kip Oswald Well, maybe not! That’s a great excuse for not having my homework ‌ except I don’t have a dog! I really didn’t get my homework done because the Oswalds, Kip Oswald like most families, are always going to some activity after school, so we just don’t get home in time to do hours of homework at night. So, why do we have two or three hours of homework after we have spent seven hours at school doing the same work? As usual, sister Kinzy put on her research hat to find out the history of homework and what homework policies around the country and the world look like. First, she found that our family wasn’t alone in struggling with time for homework. More than 80 percent of respondents in a today.com poll complained about the amount of homework kids are assigned. Then Kinzy found several school districts that have completely stopped assigning homework based on studies done by many researchers including the Brookings Institution and the Rand Corporation. They found evidence that homework overload is the exception rather than the

norm, and in the past 20 years, this increase is associated with neutral and sometimes negative effects on student achievement. One study compared TIMSS math scores of students in over 40 countries with the amount of homework they reported completing each night. They found that many countries with the highest-scoring students, such as Japan, the Czech Republic and Denmark, had teachers who assigned little homework, while countries with low scores, such as Thailand, Greece and Iran, had teachers who assigned a great deal of homework. Also, Kinzy found that many school districts that assign homework follow a standard called the “10-minute rule,� created by Duke University psychology professor Harris Cooper. The rule, endorsed by the National PTA and the National Education Association, says kids should get 10 minutes of homework a night per grade. A first-grader would have 10 minutes of homework each night; a fifth-grader 50 minutes. What is your school’s policy and how does your family handle homework? Send comments to oswaldsworldtn@gmail.com. Joke of the Week: Teacher: Did your mother help you with your homework? Student: No, she did it all by herself.

Winning summer for 4-H It has been a busy summer for local 4-H students. Knox County 4-H took 1st place at the 2016 Wildlife Habitat Educ at ion Program (WHEP) National Contest in July at Canaan Valley Freeland State Park in West Virginia. The group won the Tennessee competition earlier in the summer and represented the state in the national contest. No stranger to winning, the first place performance gives Tennessee its fifth straight win at the national level. Winning team members are Alec Bissell of Bearden, Josiah Creech of Halls, Shelley Griffith of Oak Ridge and Brianna Saylor of Farragut. The team is coached by Sharon Davis and Brandi Griffith. The members also won national individual honors: Shelley Griffith, second in the nation; Josiah Creech, fourth; Alec Bissell, sixth; and Brianna Saylor, twelfth. WHEP educates and tests 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) youth on their knowledge of North American wildlife species, management and concepts. This year’s national competition involved 15 teams from 13 states and focused on birds, mammals, reptiles, fish and amphibians native to the Appalachian region. Dr. Craig Harper, University of Tennessee professor and extension specialist, directs the program in Tennessee. Hannah Freeland of Farragut was recently recog-

Knox County 4-H took first place in the national WHEP competition with team members Josiah Creech (Halls), Shelley Griffith (Oak Ridge), Brianna Saylor (Farragut), Alec Bissell (Bearden) and coach Brandi Griffith.

A homeschool student and the daughter of Brent and Sabrina Freeland, Hannah received a $500 college scholarship and a Horizon Award trophy. At the Roundup, several local 4-H members in

Knox County received the Vol State award, the highest level of recognition a Tennessee 4-H member can achieve. Vol State is presented to high school juniors and seniors in recognition of excellence in all phases of 4-H work, as well as service and leadership in their communities. Local winners included Mary Beth Nehls, a senior at

Christian Academy of Knoxville; Brie Anne Davenport, a senior from Halls enrolled in Tennessee Online Public School; Thomas Cates, a senior at South Doyle High School; Houston Vandergriff, homeschool senior from Powell; and Alec Bissell, STEM academy graduate and freshman at UT Knoxville.

Clarence Brown launches new season By Sandra Clark

The curtain will rise Friday, Sept. 2 for opening night of “Violet,� the first of eight productions for 201617 at Clarence Brown Theatre. This season could be the best yet. “Violet� is filled with bluegrass, folk and gospel music in telling the story of a mountain girl scarred in a farm accident who takes a bus to Tulsa – via Johnson City, Kingsport, Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis – to be healed by an evangelical preacher. “Violet� runs through Sept. 18. Other plays ahead are “The Crucible,� by Arthur Miller; “This Is Our Youth,� a comedy about three wayward adolescents; “A Christmas Carol,� the Charles Dickens classic; “Outside Mullingar,� a romantic comedy set in Ireland; “The Busy Body,� a comedy; “Top Girls,� a contemporary feminist play about sacrifices in reaching the top; and “Around the World in 80 Days,� from the novel by Jules Verne. We’ll see plays for all people at a range of prices for all budgets: ■Pay what you wish nights make the plays affordable to all ■Open captioned performances include a text display of all words and sounds ■Deaf night at the theatre provides four live interpreters and a barrier-free experience ■Student matinees are scheduled during the school day at drastically reduced rates ■A day for community provides an evening of free theatre including a talkback for a targeted audience identified by the Urban League in order to engage the under-served ■Blue Star theatre offers discounts for military and veterans ■Family feast provides dinner and $10 tickets ■Penny4Arts offers kids

the opportunity to attend select performances for a penny when accompanied by an adult. In addition, Clarence Brown Theatre offers an “I want it all packageâ€? for $175 with discounts for UT faculty and staff, UT students and non-UT students. Preview nights for all eight plays are (Wednesday and Thursday before opening night) are $145. Single tickets are available. Ticket info: 865-9745161 or online at clarencebrowntheatre.com The theatre is “like a teaching hospital‌ it is our labâ€? with training for actors as well as all those folks behind the stage in lighting, costumes, set design, marketing and directing, said David B. Byrd, managing director of CBT, who spoke recently to the North Knoxville Rotary Club at Litton’s.

“Graduates leave UT with professional experience,� he said. UT has 80100 undergraduates, up to 22 graduate students in design and 16 auditioned and invited students seeking a master’s in fine arts. Those MFA students will perform in the first play, “Violet,� a play that’s been a year in the making. UT leases six one-bedroom apartments in the

Fort Sanders area to house visiting guest artists, Byrd said. “It’s really important that they enjoy their time in Knoxville, and they do.� Byrd said no two performances are the same because “the audience is a central component,� and performers adjust to the crowd’s engagement. “Theater is a collaborative art form.� Clarence Brown, a Knoxville native and 1910 UT graduate, and his wife, Marian, endowed the theatre – at the time, UT’s largest single endowment. It was built without a center aisle because Brown “hated to see people leaving during the performances.� It was dedicated in November 1970 as one of the nation’s finest performance venues.

J. Fred Heitman’s job is his company, American Aquatics. He travels the country helping cities and counties with stormwater inspections. He is an expert when it comes to fish sampling studies. But his real job is Rotary. In this Rotary year of 201617, he serves as Governor of District 6780, the home district for Knoxville’s seven Rotary clubs and 58 other clubs in East Tennessee. Fred, who lives in Knoxville, is past president of The Rotary Club of Oak Heitman Ridge. He joined that club in 1998 when his company was located in Oak Ridge. Fred has managed to continue working fulltime and be a district governor, and that’s a neat trick. He’s changed the model and instead of visiting all 65 clubs, he’s had 16 cluster meetings with four or five clubs on average at each meeting. He’s also popping in unannounced, visiting clubs during their regular weekly meetings. “I like to sit and talk with who I call ‘table Rotarians,’â€? he said. “It’s been eye-opening to learn up close what great things our clubs and our Rotarians are doing in their communities.â€? He has 10 goals for his year. One major goal is for each club to do one community project per month. “I want us to do these projects in our communities and tell the communities what we are doing, on Facebook, social media or through other media,â€? he says. “We tend to hide Rotary’s bright light under a basket.â€? Another goal is for clubs to increase membership by 5 percent, especially recruiting younger members who will be the future of Rotary. “We have to attract young members going forward,â€? he says. “And that is starting to happen.â€? â–

Career Magnet students set to earn college credits By Ruth White Last week, Career Magnet Academy recognized students from the class of 2018 who have met the requisite benchmarks to begin taking dual enrollment courses at Pellissippi State Community College. This group will make significant progress toward an associate degree at PSCC while still in high school. Through the program, most students will need only an additional three to six courses to complete their

degree, but some will earn their high school diploma and an associate degree when they graduate. What makes the program unique is that juniors in the program can walk upstairs from the high school campus and be in the PSCC lobby. The students will attend regular high school classes and then head upstairs during the middle of the school day for two college courses, ending the day back at CMA for seventh period.
