Powell basketball teams advance The Powell boys’ season was almost over. Almost. “I honestly thought it was going to be the last game of my high school career,” said senior guard Steven Parsons. District four-seed Powell took on Central Feb. 15 and played evenly with the Bobcats for most of the game. But by the start of the 4th quarter, the Bobcats held a comfortable 43-34 lead. Just as junior Lex Waters thought practices were at an end, something amazing happened.

It’s real, it’s here, it’s asphalt Bids opened for Emory Road By Sandra Clark The Powell leg of Emory Road improvements has been funded and bids opened with the apparent low bidder Potter South East LLC of Huntsville, Tenn. “After 40 years of talk, it’s finally here,” said state Rep. Bill Dunn. Potter’s bid is $15,660,653.11, Dunn said. “We expect to break ground in mid- to late-March and the completion date is Oct. 31, 2013.” The project will complete the five-laning of Emory Road from Norris Freeway in Halls to Clin-

ton Highway, coming out at Walgreens. It will bridge over the railroad tracks and extend south of Beaver Creek with five lanes and sidewalks, Dunn said. “I’m happy and I hope the folks in BRINK are happy, too. I know Rep. Harry Brooks and Sen. Randy McNally (who also represent Powell) are pleased with this.” BRINK (Better Roads in North Knox), is a citizens group founded in 1994 to promote road improvements in north, northwest and northeast Knox County. Members including Clark Hamilton, Carl Tindell and David Lambert have met with TDOT com-

missioners over the years to promote an agenda which included widening Emory Road from Halls to Powell and Western Avenue/ Oak Ridge Highway from Knox-

“When he drove on Emory and saw how it narrowed to the old road, it was a stark contrast,” said Dunn. The new road will have two lanes in each direction with sidewalks and a turn lane, Dunn said.

By Sandra Clark Dr. Jim McIntyre is recommending a building project at Powell High School as part of his new capital planning priorities, but there is no timeline for completion. The school board must adopt the recommendations which were discussed at last week’s workshop. Three board members questioned the absence of middle school improvements on the list. At Powell, McIntyre would construct new administrative offices between the existing auditorium and band room. This will allow the demolition of the existing administrative office space, creating a commons area that can be used for cafeteria seating, similar to the layout at Central High, Karns High and Hardin Valley Academy. The existing kitchen, serving area and cafeteria would be renovated and probably would include some seating. The present cafeteria is in-

adequate for the current enrollment, McIntyre said. Powell High has grown from 1,146 students in 2004 to 1,415 this year. McIntyre’s other priorities are: ■ Shannondale Elementary, an addition of 14 classrooms to eliminate portables ■ Adrian Burnett Elementary, elimination of portables and expansion of core areas such as cafeteria, library, administrative space and restrooms. “Additional capital work at Brickey-McCloud, Powell Elementary or Copper Ridge may be needed to complement the project at Adrian Burnett,” McIntyre said. ■ Support for magnet schools ■ Deferred maintenance at Farragut High, and ■ Construction, probably at Pond Gap Elementary, to accommodate anticipated growth in the area served by Norwood, Inskip, West Haven and Pond Gap elementary schools.

Good to be back

Hello, Powell

We will miss Greg Householder, who has been an important asset at ShopperNews over the past five years. His friends in Powell will miss him too. Greg left through no fault of his or ours. We simply needed to consolidate in the news department. So, going forward, you will see a bit different look to the Powell version of Shopper-News. I will be the lead reporter, assisted by Jake Mabe (lead reporter in Halls and features editor), Ruth White (school beat specialist and photographer) and Theresa Edwards (Karns/Hardin Valley lead reporter). Since I’m also responsible for other facets of Shopper-News, Tuesdays will be my dedicated day for Powell. I’m committed to dropping by Powell High, Powell Middle and Powell Elementary, delivering papers and checking to see “what’s going on.” I will schedule interviews for Tuesdays and drop by a few businesses, too. And speaking of lunch, whatever happened to Harry’s? Ruth will photograph special events on other days and cover the Heiskell Seniors. You will see Jake’s features on Page 3. (Have we mentioned that he likes history, Nixon, Elvis and baseball?) And Theresa will catch the occasional garden club event and parade. My new job is already costing money. Last Tuesday came the $50 dues for the Powell Business and Professional Association and another $50 for dinner

Sandra Clark POWELL HOWL and “Steel Magnolias” at the Powell Playhouse. This Tuesday I’m meeting with Sage Kohler, chair of the Teen Driver Awareness program at Powell High. (Can you say, “ka-ching”?) Will we cover every sneeze in Powell? No. Will we cover more sneezes than any other media outlet? You betcha. Will you look forward to getting this paper every Monday? Absolutely. ■

Good luck galore

I woke up last Monday with a blank newspaper and no plan. By Tuesday, I had learned that the bids had been opened for the Powell leg of Emory Road and HPUD is planning a small(er) rate increase. At the high school, some good-looking kids were serenading school counselors. And suddenly, we had a wonderful front page. At noon I won the PBPA door prize – a honey maple scented candle from Laura Bailey. Ain’t life grand? ■

Congrats to Weigel’s

Weigel’s chocolate milk has been designated as best by the Tennessee Dairy Products Association. Produced in Powell, the Wei-

gel’s milk earned the highest score for chocolate milk among all dairies serving Tennessee. Weigel’s was a unique entrant in the annual Tennessee State Fair milk competition because it was the only chocolate milk made using a 2 percent milk-base rather than whole milk. It also does not contain highfructose corn syrup, said Douglas Rouch, dairy manager.

Powell boys advance to regionals for first time since 2009 By Cory Chitwood

The Powell boys’ season was almost over. Almost. “I honestly thought it was going to be the last game of my high school career,” said senior guard Steven Parsons. District 3AAA four-seed Powell took on Central Feb. 15 and played evenly with the Bobcats for most of the game. But by the start of the 4th quarter, the Bobcats had a comfortable 43-34 lead.

Parsons finished with 14 and Macourek with 8. “The kids played hard and never gave up. I was proud of

them. It was a fun game to watch, scary game to coach,” said Ogan. His team advances to the regional tournament for the first time since 2009, regardless of whether they beat Oak Ridge in the District semifinal on Feb. 18. According to Ogan, the keys to beating Oak Ridge on their home floor will be “settling down first” and defensive rebounding, complemented by “good hardnosed defense.” “We’re a perimeter-oriented team. We’re going to try to pull the defense out and make cuts to the basket. The boys have done a good job (of it) this year,” said Ogan on his team strategy. One of his goals is to get the Oak Ridge Clay Payne makes 2 of his 19 defense “spread out” so playpoints in Powell’s big win over ers can cut into the paint for the Central Bobcats. Photos by easy buckets. Tim Gangloff of hatpix.com Waters believes he and his teammates can pull off the upset at Oak Ridge. “All our guards are going to have to play smart and our team is just gonna have to play hard and fight the whole game,” he said. Even though a loss at Oak Ridge doesn’t mean the end of the season for Powell, “Nothing would tickle these guys more than beating them there,” said Ogan. Results of Saturday’s game were unavailable at press time.

Powell girls advance with upset of Halls A game against Halls is always big. This one was even bigger. The winner would advance to the regional tournament and the loser would go home. And Powell wasn’t ready to quit. “We played with tons of heart and we played as a team better than we have all season,” said senior guard Maddy Blackwelder. After 3 quarters of identical scoring, the score stood tied at 29. Powell scored more points (14) in the 4th quarter than in any other. Powell committed 10+ fouls in the first half, but adjusted at halftime and committed only 5 in the second half, keeping Halls away from the free throw line.

Alexis Gillespie moves for the basket. She scored 15 points in Powell’s win over Halls. Halls came close to taking back a lead after a layup and timeout with 50.4 seconds left, but Powell kept showing up to the free throw line where players hit 10 of 15 in just the 4th quarter. And so it was that Powell (14-13) upset Halls (19-6) despite committing 21 turnovers. Powell senior post player Alexis Gillespie scored a team-high 15 points, 4 in the crucial 4th quarter. Sophomore Damiyah Moore had 12 points and was 4 of 4 free throw shooting in the 4th quarter. Powell played Anderson County Feb. 18 at Oak Ridge. Win or lose, they had earned a spot in the regional tournament. “(We must) shoot well. When we lost to them before we weren’t shooting well,” said Blackwelder. “We have to play like a team and keep our cool. That’s really all that matters.” Coach Clay Young had faith in his team’s ability to beat AC. “We just have to play good defense,” he said. “We will try to pressure them a lot with both full court and half court pressure and execute our offense.” Results were unavailable at press time.

Rates, budget topics for HPUD By Sandra Clark

A fencing and watering system installed on Charles Thompkins’ farm in Halls Photo by Roy Arthur

Farm grants available By Roy Arthur Almost 100 landowners along Beaver Creek from Gibbs to Solway braved the cold morning of Feb. 11 to gather at the Jubilee Banquet Hall on Callahan Road for breakfast and the opportunity to hear Matt Ledford, Knox County soil conservationist, speak about farm enhancements that also benefit wildlife. This Farmers’ Breakfast event is part of a series sponsored by the Beaver Creek Task Force and organized by the Knox County Soil Conservation District. Ledford discussed the benefit of incorporating native warm season grasses on a portion of a farm for im-

proved pasture and hay during the summer months when fescue becomes dormant. These grasses not only save a farmer money, but benefit deer and rabbits by providing cover from predatory animals. The grasses also provide habitat for quail, a bird species that has almost disappeared from the East Tennessee landscape. Matt also discussed managing trees bordering fields to improve row crop and pasture production. Tree borders can be managed to provide habitat corridors for game species and birds. Charles Thompkins, who farms 75 acres in the Halls community, was presented with a Beaver Creek Conser-

vation Farm sign. Charles has taken advantage of many of the cost sharing programs provided by the Knox County Soil Conservation District to install fencing, improve pasture and provide watering systems for his cattle. For the remainder of 2012, landowners in the Beaver Creek Watershed can take advantage of a Tennessee Department of Agriculture 319 grant that will pay 75 percent of the cost of improvements on their property. Contact Matt Ledford or Amy Mann with the Knox County Soil Conservation District Office at 523-3338, Ext. 3 for details. Roy Arthur is the watershed coordinator for Knox County. He lives in Powell.

After years of steep rate hikes, the Hallsdale Powell Utility District management has proposed two different rate structures for the fiscal year which starts April 1. The board of commissioners will vote on a budget and the rate to fund it on March 12. A draft version of the budget is on the Shopper’s website at www.ShopperNewsNow.com/. HPUD could retain the minimum bill structure which has usage charges after 1,500 gallons per month. For this model, management recommends water rates would be increased by 3.5 percent and wastewater rates by 3.75 percent. Option two is a flat base charge per customer and a per gallon charge from zero. This model would be cheaper for customers who use 1,000 gallons or less. Commissioner Bob Crye said that the base rate method helps those who use less water which may include the elderly and low income customers. The budget anticipates revenues of $29.2 million and operating expenses of $22.4 million including $7.7 million of depreciation. Interest on debt will be $4.6 million. Also at last Monday’s meeting, CEO Darren Cardwell reported that the district held its AA rating with Standard & Poor’s in a report released Jan. 31. In the past 12 years, HPUD has invested $155 million to upgrade and ex-

pand the water and wastewater systems. Water loss has been reduced from 40 percent to 26 percent, according to the S&P report. “Liquidity is very strong” with cash on hand during 2011 to cover 441 days of operations. Some of that cash will be used to fund $66 million in anticipated expenses to complete the upgrades. HPUD might have to issue an additional $18 million to $20 million in bonds to complete the rehab projects, the report states. ■ HPUD set nine water meters in January and inspected 19 sewer connections. The district treated 219.8 million gallons of water and 337.8 million gallons of wastewater. ■ The board adopted a proposed settlement of a dispute with Siemens over equipment problems at the Melton Hill water plant. Engineer Nick Jackson said the settlement (adding two treatment cells to the existing four) will “give us 50 percent more capacity for one-tenth of the cost we paid in 2004” and the additional membranes will extend the life of the plant. ■ Consulting engineer Robert Campbell said the Maynardville Pike water line relocation and expansion project is 85 percent complete. This will link Halls to the new water plant on Norris Lake. ■ James Smith, chief financial officer, is proposing an alternate rate model with a flat fee and a bill Participants need to bring bats, gloves, cleats and catchers gear if needed.

based on actual usage. ■ The annual state maintenance fee will be added to customers’ next bill. It is a one-time $1.29 for water customers and 60 cents for sewer customers for a total $1.89, Smith said. That’s a reduction from last year’s fees of $1.43 and 61 cents. ■ HPUD is operating at 2003 levels of water usage,” Smith said. He attributed that to “people becoming more environmentally conscious” and the use of more efficient household appliances. Jim Hill said it’s a reflection of recent rainy seasons. People use more water during a drought. And it could be HPUD’s rates have caused people to use less water. ■ Smith anticipates the district will sell 40 million gallons less water for fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011.

How Bob Booker made Bill Jenkins Speaker Last Tuesday, Feb. 14, was a trip down memory lane for me as Bill Vaughan, retired journalist and press aide to Gov. Winfield Dunn, and I drove up to Rogersville to have lunch with former U.S. Rep. Bill Jenkins at the historic Hale Springs Inn. Jenkins, 75, is in good health and still the gentleman farmer.

Victor Ashe

Along with Knoxville attorney Dick Krieg (another former state representative) and Tom Jensen, I had voted in January 1969 to elect Jenkins the first Republican Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives in decades. It would take 40 years before another Republican would be Speaker. But in 1969, the House was split 49-49 between Democrats and Republicans with one independent, J. P. Kimbrell from Lawrence County, for a total of 99 members. It was uncertain whether Jenkins, the GOP nominee, or Pat Lynch, the Democratic nominee, would be chosen Speaker. When the House convened that day it was full of excitement and uncertainty, as the lone independent, Mr. Kimbrell, had not declared his intentions. It was assumed his vote would determine the outcome, so when the roll was called everyone waited for the clerk to reach the names beginning with “K” to find out what Kimbrell would do. However, the result became clear much earlier in the roll call when those names beginning with “B” were called. Bob Booker, an African-American Democrat from Knoxville, announced his vote for Jenkins to the shock of the 48 other Democrats and the happy surprise of Republicans. Then, Jenkins had his 50 votes and the Kimbrell vote, which made it 51, was not decisive. I asked Jenkins last week how he was able to secure Booker’s support some 44 years ago. He said he had met with Booker a few days before the vote and told him he would be fair in appointments and presiding. Booker, he said, told him he would support him and Booker delivered. Jenkins said he and Booker still stay in touch to this day. Jenkins was also a fellow East Tennessean. Jenkins has had one of the most diverse public service careers of any Tennessean, having served as a state representative for eight years, Commissioner of Conservation for Gov. Dunn (in fact the only commissioner in the Dunn Cabinet still living),

Director of TVA when directors still ran the agency, Circuit Court judge, and U.S. Representative. Jenkins has been in the legislative, judicial and executive branches of state government and the executive and legislative branches of the federal government. He also served a term on the Board of Trustees for Carson-Newman College. He says being Speaker of the Tennessee House was the most interesting “as it was a period of transition” for Tennessee politics to a two-party system. Buford Ellington was governor and the notion of a Republicancontrolled House was considered fantasy. However, in 1968, Richard Nixon carried Tennessee and Hubert Humphrey ran poorly. Tennessee had elected Howard Baker to the U.S. Senate in 1966, Bill Brock to the U.S. House from Chattanooga in 1962, and in 1970, Winfield Dunn was elected governor and Brock to the U.S. Senate. Two-party politics for Tennessee had arrived. Today it seems almost reversed in that the GOP is now the dominant party, which the Democrats were in the early 1960s and also in the 1980s. Both Houses of the Legislature are Republican as is the Governor and seven of nine congressional seats. Jenkins attributes the growth of the Republican Party in the Legislature to the Supreme Court decision of Baker v. Carr which required equal populations in districts for legislatures across the United States and assured a growth in Republican seats. Jenkins never overstayed his time in any position he has held. His integrity is well-established and his story telling is legendary. ■ Ray Building: It seems another matter the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation never voted on was naming their building on Gay Street for Gloria Ray. It was done by an agreement between former county Mayor Mike Ragsdale and Ray with the concurrence of former KTSC board chair David Duncan according to Kim Bumpas, interim KTSC president. There is no record of the board voting to do this. Bumpas is making a concerted effort to reach out to groups which Ray had ignored in the arts and cultural community. Don’t be surprised if the sign quietly disappears one day. ■ Attorney Ward Phillips is being paid $275 an hour which may be the best money KTSC has spent as he unearths past misdeeds and outlines a legal path to restoring trust. Had he been around earlier he might have been able to keep the board focused on the business of being real board members. Victor Ashe, former Knoxville mayor and Ambassador to Poland, can be reached at vhashe@aol.com/.

WDVX is nation’s top bluegrass station – again By Betty Bean Two minutes before noon on a cold, gray Monday, the crowd at the Blue Plate Special was a little sparse and kind of quiet. Then Red Hickey picked up the microphone and asked them to make some extra noise and promised that stragglers would arrive to fill up the room by the time the opening act, Ryan Kralik, a singer/songwriter who’d come all the way from Kent, Ohio, plugged in his ukulele.

Betty Bean WDVX general manager Linda Billman (center) and interns David Cohen and Samantha Amick get ready for another “Blue Plate Special.” Photo by Betty Bean She was right. Five minutes later, the room was nearly full. And by the time the four singing sisters from Atlanta who make up the string band von Grey took the stage, it was standing room only. Their high lonesome harmonies couldn’t help but remind old-timers of the “Midday Merry-Go-Round” that was the hottest lunch hour ticket on Gay Street 60 years ago. The “Blue Plate Special” is a daily production of the radio station that The Oxford American magazine named the Best In America. Past performers there include locals, up-andcoming new national faces and occasionally, bona fide celebrities like Bela Fleck, Marty Stuart and David Grisman. The show broadcasts from a studio at the Knoxville Visitors Center, on the corner of Gay Street and Summit Hill. This month, WDVX was named Bluegrass Station of the Year by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America. For the eighth time. The WDVX studios share the ground floor of the Gloria Ray building with Nancy Kendrick’s Coop Café (known for its many tasty variations on chicken salad) and Uniquely Knoxville, a gift shop featuring hand-made local products from paintings and pottery to jewelry, books and recorded music. On Saturday mornings at 10, there’s a chil-

dren’s show called “Kids’ Stuff,” hosted by Sean McCollough. Upstairs are the plush offices of the embattled Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation, which is in the midst of a forced reorganization over questions about its financial structure. WDVX, which operates on an annual budget of just more than $600,000, relies on numerous volunteers, some part-timers and five full-time employees who are crammed into a space that is windowless and small, lit with fluorescent bulbs and provided by KTSC in exchange for promotional exposure on the air. Expansion plans have been put on hold by the turmoil on the top floor. Whatever the problems, Linda Billman, who served on the board of directors for six years before she was hired as general manager two years ago, says WDVX is happy to be downtown. “We are lucky to be here. It keeps us visible and we can do the ‘Blue Plate.’ We think we make a great contribution to the community – arts every day for free in downtown Knoxville. We have become a tourist destination,” she said. WDVX founder Tony Lawson, now the program director, incorporated the station in 1991 and guided it to its first FCC license in 1997 when it was broadcasting from a transmitter on Cross Mountain, near Briceville. Even-

tually, Lawson bought a used camper for $500 that became the station’s first permanent studio. Around that time, he got a financial boost from Don Burggraf, who put up his house as collateral on a $25,000 loan. “It’s just been a good soulful journey,” Lawson said, who treasures memories of people he has met over the years – like bluegrass prodigy Alex Leach, who started working on air when he was 9 years old. Leach is 22 now, and plays guitar, mandolin and banjo all over the Western Hemisphere. He still does a Tuesday night show with Lawson when he’s in town. And is the resemblance to the “Midday Merry-Go-Round” intentional? “Absolutely,” Lawson said. “It’s where we started, with one foot in the past and one foot in the future. And this is where we’re standing right now.” Billman is working on ways to translate the station’s prestige and popularity into economic stability. “That’s the challenge of nonprofits,” she said. “I’d like to figure out a way to make listeners into supporters. One of our challenges is that we are a radio station and a lot of people think of broadcasting as free. That’s fine and a lot of people can’t afford to contribute, but for people who can, it would be nice to have their support.”

Raggin’ on ObamaCare Dr. Richard Briggs doesn’t like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called ObamaCare. The heart surgeon who also serves on Knox County Commission spoke last week to the West Knox Republican Club. He called the health reform law “the flagship of the

Obama Administration” and said few issues in our lifetime will be as important. Briggs recently ate dinSandra ner with U.S. Rep.

First preview of 2012 football

So good to hear that the worst is over, that Tennessee football is no longer in disarray, that progress, like cherry blossoms, is budding and will soon break out for all to see. This is your first official preview of football 2012. Cody Blanc said Jim Chaney said, “If we don’t win eight or nine ball games – well, seven or eight – that’s when we’ll know something’s not right.” I already know. I’m counting on the head coach, offensive coordinator Chaney, the new running back coach, the new line coach, the reassigned receivers coach and other close associates to fix it. I look forward to an attitude adjustment, led by the new defensive coordinator. I am hopeful that the coach of size, strength and speed will do something to help. When I am in charge of this operation, we will add a gate guard or grassgrower or other guru who knows how to kick and will stand very near a certain kicker, in lunch lines, during practice and at all games. He will whisper tips and tidbits. There will be no more kicks that hit helmets. There was a time, back in the Phillip Fulmer era, when seven or eight victories wouldn’t have been enough. Expectations have

been beaten down, hammered over the head with a two-by-four. Almost anything imaginable would be better than the 1-7 SEC record and some of those gosh-awful scores. The schedule is encouraging. There I go, becoming openly optimistic about Georgia State, Akron and Troy. Overconfidence is a dangerous error. Blanc, multitalented recruit from Knoxville Central, has his own reasons for positive thinking, good group of returnees, good group of new guys. Here’s the hitch: Georgia is still ahead. Are the Vols now even with Florida, South Carolina and Mississippi State? Are they better than anybody? Dare I mention Vanderbilt and Kentucky? No question about Alabama. Good thing the coach there is a friend of the coach here. That may be enough to save the rivalry. The biggest game of Derek Dooley’s coaching life is the opener, North Carolina State in Atlanta. The Wolfpack has yo-yo

tendencies. We don’t know which group will show up. We are almost certain which pack of wolves will be howling if the Volunteers limp home emptyhanded. Spare us that experience. This is the season Tennessee runs out of excuses. The squad has scars earned in combat. There is some depth. The quarterback will be a junior in eligibility if not maturity. If the talent level is not improved, that will be Dooley’s fault. He will have three recruiting classes on the field. If they aren’t good enough, this will be a tragic time to make the discovery. On my depth chart, two seniors and seven juniors are penciled in as offensive starters. Two seniors and six juniors are my defensive guesses. Sophomores on both sides of the ball have star potential. Tyler Bray is the key. I honestly don’t know if he is a pipe dream or a future NFL prize. He has the arm. For some, he is the pied piper. For some, he is a pain. Contracts be damned, the coach and his new helpers are strung out on the fence. I sure hope they come down on the side of success, longevity and bowl bonuses. The other side is so messy.

Briggs. Popular parts include disallowing insurance caps on maximum lifetime coverage and forbidding insurance companies from “throwing people off.” Children can stay on their parents’ policy until age 26 under certain conditions. But the rub comes from the requirement that everyone buy health insurance. And opponents believe the premiums won’t be adequate, pushing increased

costs down to states. In fact, Gov. Bill Haslam says, “The Obama administration’s approach is an unaffordable healthcare mandate that is a significant overstep of the federal government’s authority. Forcing mandates on states and individuals is the wrong approach, and if Obamacare is implemented, healthcare costs will rise significantly, putting a seri- Richard Briggs speaks at the ous strain on state budgets West Knox Republican Club Photo by S.

Ag class lives high on the hog Cindy Taylor meat will sour.” As soon as those temps got here, John Fugate and his agriculture class from Union County High School made the trek to the Bull farm to learn what it takes to kill and dress a hog. They not only learned, they jumped right in to help. “I wanted them to learn and experience this process,” said Fugate. “It isn’t often we can go out in the field and see this anymore.”

When does a Bull kill a hog? According to Earl Bull, not until temperatures drop into the 20s for two or three days in a row. While most of us have been enjoying the spring-like temperatures and sunny weather that have prevailed in Tennessee this winter, Bull has been biding his time. “You can’t kill a hog until the weather gets cold enough,” said Bull. “We’ve waited all winter, because if it’s too warm your

Cheers for the Eagles Jim Byrge It’s been a while since our last visit and a lot has happened over the last few weeks. Much more is on the horizon for our local Scouts. Prior to the holidays, the Troop 506 Gryphon Patrol assisted our neighbors from Regal Entertainment and the Variety Children’s Charity with their annual Christmas party for local nonprofit groups. The assistance at the event was part of an ongoing effort on the part of our Scouts to give back to the community and community-related

organizations through their service. A lot of their merit badges and rank advancements rely on “service hours” and service-related activities to the community, and our young men and women in Troop 506 and Crew 506 have a strong history of working in our community. What we actually tend to see is more volunteers than we sometimes have the need for. Isn’t that a great problem to have? If you were out and about in the area over the last couple of

Union County High School agriculture class members had no problem grabbing a knife to help Earl Bull scrape the hair off the hog. Earl Bull (left) instructs students Nathan Civay, Nicole Bailey and Chris Elliott in the proper way to remove the hair from the hog while other class members watched. Teacher John Fugate (right) also showed the class where different cuts of meat are located on the hog. Photo by C. Taylor

weekends, it is quite likely that you saw Scouts at area stores or in neighborhoods helping gather food for local food banks through the Scouting for Food drive. A big thanks to Wes Hayes for leading a series of weekend hikes for the Cub Scouts and younger Boy Scouts over the last few weeks. Wes and his “merry band of hikers” have been going each weekend for short hikes to help the younger Scouts get into the swing of outdoor activities. The boys are having a great time, but none so much as Wes. Big congratulations to our recent Eagle Scout recipients for their accomplishments. Dylan Ensor, Matt Swindle, Andrew McMahan, Robert Buck and Luke Lee all completed the requirements and a service project in which they are responsible for planning, fund raising and completing. Each passed their respective Eagle Review Boards and have been awarded the BSA’s highest Scout achievement. A lot of hard work by these

Scouts and support from friends and family made these achievements possible. I am always proud of our Scouts when they make Eagle, but one of these young men is extra special to me. Luke Lee was the first of my former Cub Scouts to make Eagle. It is rare for me to be held somewhat speechless or even emotional about such things and even rarer for Luke’s father to be at a loss for words, but I can assure you words were tough to come by at Luke’s Eagle Court of Honor for both of us. I know Luke is the first of many more of my former Cubs to become Eagle Scouts, and I’m sure the words and emotions will come easier, but I hope not. Speaking of Eagle projects, another of my former Cubs is working on an impressive project for his Eagle requirements. J.T. Thomas has a project that will benefit two separate areas of our community. With assistance from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources

Agency, J.T. is building and positioning fish beds along the banks of Fort Loudoun Lake in the downtown and UT area. The material he is going to use for this project is coming from the brush that he and a group of 506 Scouts and Scouters are removing from the Clayton Park just off Norris Freeway. This is just a brief glimpse of the things that these young men have been doing, and I apologize up front to anyone I may have missed or an event that I have not mentioned in this article. I hope to be able to visit with you on a much more frequent basis in the future. Anyone interested in Scouting can contact me at troop506@ tds.net and I will help direct you to the proper person to get you started. Thanks for all the nice comments and even more for the “where have you been?” comments about these visits, and I promise to do a better job of keeping you up to date on our Scouts.

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships.

Make my heart as yours Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:25 NRSV) Tout comprendre ce serait tout pardonner. (Germaine de Stael) It was given to me so long ago I can’t remember who gave it to me, or why. It is a wooden plaque with a French proverb – quoted above – lettered beautifully on parchment and edged on three sides with delicate flowers. My French is slim to nonexistent but “comprendre” and “pardoner” are cognates that are pretty recognizable: comprehend and pardon. It translates roughly: “All you can understand, you can forgive.” Tolstoy quoted Mme. de Stael’s proverb in his prologue to “War and Peace” and is sometimes mistakenly given credit for its authorship. My daughter Eden brought all this to mind recently when she told me about something she had learned recently: in Chinese, the figure for the word forgiveness quite literally means “Make my heart as your heart.” We pondered the ramifications of that over the phone then moved on to other things. Even after our conversation ended, I kept going back to it, in much that same way that your tongue can’t stop feeling the rough spot on a tooth. I wondered what it meant, exactly, and considered how making my heart as your heart would equal forgiveness. I could sort of see the possibility of two hearts being in tune, in harmony – in sync, as it were – and how that might be tantamount to forgiveness. And then it dawned on me.

CROSS CURRENTS my mind around was the Incarnation. God, who created this world, and loved it in spite of the mess we made of things, decided to make God’s heart as our hearts. God became human in order to be one of us: to love, to laugh, to be weary, or tired, or angry, to hurt, to grieve, to hope, to dream. To share our experiences. To understand. Because when God – in Christ – experienced what it was like to be human, God could forgive us our sinfulness. Not condoning it, yet understanding. And understanding makes forgiveness possible. There is, however, another side to that transaction. In Jesus, a forgiving God made his own heart as ours, breakable and subject to temptation. Jesus paid the price of all of our broken hearts, so that our hearts ultimately may be made like his: pure, sinless and full of God’s own love. This week Christians all over the world will observe Ash Wednesday, a day to consider and repent of our sinfulness, to seek forgiveness and to give thanks for God’s heart of mercy. May God make our hearts as His heart.

Life and Health Insurance Plans My name is Gary Gilleran. I have lived in the Knoxville area for over 36 years. I’ve been married to my wife Kim since 1973 and have 5 children and 5 grandchildren. Since 1992 I have met the insurance needs of thousands of clients with life and health insurance products in the East Tennessee area. I take pride in ﬁnding the best rates for families and seniors up to the age of 85. If you need money for a funeral, cremation, or want to leave money for your family I can help.

Life Insurance I have access to many companies and am able to insure even those who have been turned down for life insurance in the past. There are no physicals required in order to receive life insurance. I offer personal service and will meet in your home or at my ofﬁce at your convenience. Most life insurance plans I offer require no physical exam and have immediate approval. Call me at 865-591-7521 for an appointment. I will come to you if you live within 200 mile radius of Knoxville or we can meet at my ofﬁce. I believe in customer service and still make house calls like the good ‘ole days.

NEWS FROM WEAVER HEARING AID CENTER

Expanded product line benefits patients By Sandra Clark There’s a reason people from a four-state area travel to Knoxville for hearing aid advice and instruments. Gary and Belinda Weaver are all about customer service. “We are a provider to the hearing impaired 24/7,” said Gary.
