“I still have people tell me, ‘I sure would like to have one of those deluxe hamburgers,’ or ‘I sure would love to have one of those hot dogs.’ ” Eventually, a Krystal and a Blue Circle opened up in the neighborhood, and then a Burger King set up shop right across the street. They didn’t cost Mack Grigsby a minute’s sleep. “None of that seemed to hurt his business,” Maxine said. “He always said the best thing for business was competition. He welcomed competition because he knew his food was better.” There wasn’t much that hurt business at Malcolm’s Dairyland, not even the car bomb that went off there in the mid-60s, blowing up a Lonsdale couple who had just returned from visiting their son in Ohio and stopped in for a bite to eat. “They were pulling out when their car blew up. It killed the woman, but her husband survived and so did their dog. We lived on Inskip Road then, and it rattled our windows. It was a Dot Grigsby, widow of Malcolm “Mack” Grigsby, wonder it didn’t hurt the curb boy who had just and her daughter, Maxine Grigsby Shirk.

By Betty Bean For 25 years, Malcolm’s Dairyland served up burgers and fries and hospitality to the Powell community. Malcolm “Mack” Grigsby opened his drivein restaurant in 1956 in a space on Clinton Highway that he leased from Carl Strange, who had bought it from Red Johnson. Mack nearly worked himself to a nub that first year, but Maxine Grigsby Shirk (Powell High School Class of 1962) says her daddy jumped at the opportunity to have his own place. “We always just called it the Dairyland. A lot of people called it Malcolm’s,” she said. “And far as I know, all he ever did was work in a restaurant. He had the opportunity to open up his own place and the first year he had it, he worked 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week.” After that first hard year, things started going so well that Mack Grigsby opened up two more restaurants – one in the Claxton area, another in Solway. But after awhile it got to be too much and he cut back to just the original Malcolm’s location. Maxine always knew that the restaurant was popular, obviously, and she figures people were drawn in by the good, well-prepared food (she’s been told that Cardin’s on Asheville Highway is the closest thing to a modern-day Malcolm’s). “They’d be parked there three and four deep after football and basketball games. After a ballgame – it was mayhem. People would drive in there and we would have orders stacked on top

Second grade students and staff members at Brickey-McCloud Elementary took time from their regular schedule to remember one of their classmates and friends, Josie Fine. Josie was killed in an accident on March 14 and community members showed an outpouring of love for a little girl whose motto was “Live in love.” “Josie planted seeds of love and happiness,” said principal Robbie Norman, “and because of that we wanted to plant seeds to grow in her honor.” Pink flowers, a favorite color, have been placed in the garden and spell out Josie’s name. Through the hard work of committee members Karen Trivette, Cara Marshburn, Jim Dingus and John Dingus, a garden was created at the outdoor classroom on

the school grounds. Hallsdale Powell Utility District worked with the school to create the garden and donated the stone to enclose the area. “This garden is a peaceful spot that Josie’s parents and friends can come to think about her and remember her smile,” said Jim Dingus. Dingus’ son Andrew is in the 4th grade at Brickey-McCloud with Josie’s brother, Corey. He remembers the outpouring of love and support when his own brother died at a young age and wanted to show the same kindness to the Fine family. The Fines were presented with special gifts from their Brickey-McCloud family, including framed pieces of Josie’s artwork, a butterfly necklace to represent one of Josie’s favorite things and passes for opportunities to spend time together as a family. Josie’s 2nd grade teacher Susan Merryman shared memories of their time to-

To end the celebration, the 2nd grade students sang “Chatter with the Angels,” a song they learned on the day they heard that they had lost a friend. Josie’s father, Kevin, choked back tears as he thanked the school and community for the love shown during their grief.

Amber Fine added, “We are blown away by the incredible outpouring of love.” The community that calls Brickey-McCloud Elementary home should know a lot about love. They had the pleasure of knowing a young girl who believed in living her life every day with love and she walked the walk. “Josie was a very special, good-hearted girl,” said Norman. “She was just good.”

Remembering Malcolm’s From page A-1

‘Mildred Doyle Remembered’ By Jake Mabe You may have heard about the book by now, but I just finished reading “Mildred Doyle Remembered,” Benna F.J. van Vuuren’s collection of memories about “Miss Doyle.” Longtime Knox folks will remember Miss Doyle, who served as Knox County’s superintendent of schools from 1946-76. Yes, you read that correctly. Thirty years. I wish I could’ve met her. Everybody says she was one heck of a woman. Van Vuuren worked for both Miss Doyle and for Doyle’s successor, Halls/ Powell guy Earl Hoffmeister. (As an aside, we hear Earl is recovering from an injury and we wish him well. He’s one-of-a-kind, too, and a longtime family friend.) Van Vuuren says to overlook the mistakes an editor missed. And, you can do that, because the stories are so good. Pay attention to memories from sisters Faye Cox and Doris June Large, Halls’s own Edythe McNabb, Emma Jean Huddleston and Sam Venable. After Miss Doyle died on May 6, 1989, Sandra Clark wrote in the Shopper that Miss Doyle summoned Clark to her office when Clark was running for re-election to the state House. The state had just issued bonds to build

several new schools over a three-year period. “While I watched,” Clark wrote, “she dialed someone in Nashville and said, ‘Let’s build Knoxville’s first three vocational schools at Halls, Central and Karns. Yes, that’s where we need them.’ “That’s where we got them.” Both the Miss Doyle book and van Vurren’s earlier one on Hoffmeister are available at Union Avenue Books downtown, at the Halls Knox County Teachers’ Federal Credit Union, at the Knoxville City Federal Credit Union on Fourth Avenue, or by calling van Vuuren at 992-1062. The price of both biographies has been reduced to $15 each. Call Jake Mabe at 922-4136 or email JakeMabe1@aol.com. Visit him online at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

“He asked a boy to work later that night – he’d cut his fingers – and the boy said he didn’t want to work, so Mack just said ‘I’ll close the doors,’ ” Dot Grigsby said. “Daddy was very independent,” Maxine said. Malcolm Grigsby died in February 2005, after a retirement spent doing things he wanted to do, like taking long walks, going out to dinner with Dot, and baking cakes and decorating them, particularly for family birthdays. Maxine says he’d love what’s happening at the Class of ’62’s 50th reunion, where her classmates will re-create Malcolm’s Dairyland. On Friday, April 27, at Dante Baptist Church, her husband of 51 years, Bill Shirk (who cooked at the restaurant for several years) and Bob York will be fi xing hot dogs and hamburgers “As close as they can get to what Daddy served.” (This, of course, will require getting fresh-ground, never frozen beef just like Mack Grigsby used to get every morning from Norwood Meat Market). Mack Grigsby would be tickled, Maxine said.

Water do’s and don’ts By Dr. Donald G. Wegener ■ Do gradually increase your water intake. ■ Do drink water at any time, not just with meals. ■ Do keep a “water diary” to keep record of your daily intake until you’re drinking at least 10 eight-ounce glasses per day. ■ Don’t put anything into the water you drink except possibly a sprig of mint or a citrus slice. ■ Don’t count other liquids as part of your water intake. Coffee, tea and diet colas are solutions with properties different from water. ■ Don’t wait until bedtime to drink your allotted water. ■ Don’t drink five glasses one day and try to make up for it by drinking 15 the next. This will put your body out of f luid balance. ■ Don’t stop drinking water once you’ve lost weight. To function properly, your body needs 10 glasses of water a day.

You are, in fact, made up mostly of water. Almost 70 percent of your total weight, four to five quarts by volume, depending on your size, comes from water. How long can you live without water? Dr. Wegener Longer than you can live without air, but really not that long. Twenty-four hours in excessive heat or one cool, humid week without water and your skin loses its moist dewy look. Your mucous membranes begin to dry out, inviting viral attack. Then, weakness and irregular heartbeats set in, followed by hallucinations. Let’s leave the rest to your imagination.

Raided by ‘a bunch of thugs’ Retired KPD detective Don Wiser is a veteran of the local political wars. Sometimes he’s up – like the summer of 2010 when he campaigned nonstop for his longtime friend Tim Burchett – and sometimes he’s down, as was mostly the case when he was still a cop and Phil Keith was police chief. But he’s never been quite as down as he’s been since 12:20 p.m. Saturday, April 14, when a bunch of deputies burst Don Wiser through the door of his Halls office and disrupted a DUI/ driver’s safety class he was conducting. They proceeded to confiscate his receipt book, files, composition book, laptop, notebooks, fax machine, folders and a wad of cash and checks while detaining him for an indeterminate period of time. “They came in waving guns and flashing badges hollering ‘Get out! Get out!’ ” Wiser said. “When I started to leave, one of them hollered, ‘Where are you going?’ Then they sat me down in a chair and wouldn’t let me get up. They acted like I was John Dillinger.” Wiser said he started telling people he plans to run for sheriff a few weeks before the raid. Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones’ spokesperson Martha Dooley said there is no incident report on the raid (which could account for no story by any other media). When asked for a response from Jones, she said, “I can neither confirm nor deny that this is under investigation.” Wiser rents space from Commissioner R. Larry Smith in the Birch Tree Plaza. Smith confirmed the raid and said he was contacted by other tenants including the beauty shop next door. “Looks like I’ve lost a tenant,” he said. The warrant indicates that Wiser is accused of giving clients credit for completing more hours of his class than they actually sat through. Wiser says he suspects it has more to do with him spreading the word that he plans to run for sheriff. The warrant alleges he has violated TCA 39-14-

136 (falsifying educational and academic records), a Class A misdemeanor. Nearly two weeks later he hasn’t been charged. His attorney, Bob Jolley, a former lead prosecutor with the district attorney general’s office who before that worked for the state attorney general, says a full-scale raid over a misdemeanor charge is unusual. He smells politics. “I’m not sure this statute is something they can charge him on. What you are talking about is a major police raid on a legitimate business in Knox County where a large amount of money was expended. They closed down a business because of what was seized. Eighteen to 20 officers, some of them narcotics people, plus an assistant district attorney conducting a raid over a misdemeanor?” In recent years, Wiser, who has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s in health and safety education from UT, plus a couple of years at the Nashville night law school and has taught criminal justice at Walters State, has been the sole proprietor of Concepts in Safety. Its website describes its business thusly: “Our sole mission is to provide a much needed service following state law guidelines which states in TCA 55-10-301, C(4), “Each county clerk shall provide a list of approved entities in the county to any person ordered to attend a driver education or improvement course.” Wiser concedes that that he’s not perfect. “Being an ex-policeman, I love policemen. Real policemen. If I’m wrong, I need to answer to the proper authorities, not to a bunch of thugs.”

And Commissioner Dave Wright asked if Cullom plans to “keep the smokestack.” He said yes. Burchett endorsed both projects, a huge boost to obtaining the commission’s OK. Burchett said he and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero are working together on the University Commons project, estimated to generate 600 construction jobs and 1,100 permanent jobs in retail. Cullom said the project is impossible without the TIF, which will be used to redo two intersections (Kingston Pike and Joe Johnson Blvd.) encapsulate the ground, and build elevated, open air parking to prevent damage from vapors. Cullom said the project would cost his group $25 million less if developed in a greenfield.

The Oakwood School project may pass unanimously. Developers Wayne Blasius and Rick Dover are asking for $712,100 to “get the property back to zero,” as Blasius explained to the commission. He was met with universal praise last week including Burchett’s endorsement. Family Pride Corporation, which operates a similar assisted living project in a former school in Lenoir City, would create 58 assisted living units in the old school to serve the aging community nearby. “It will be cheaper for Knox County to save this building than to tear it down,” Burchett said. Developers will make a $4.5 million investment, Blasius said, creating 35 permanent jobs and a $750,000 annual payroll. “It will be good for the community and good for the taxpayers.” Commissioner Broyles, who represents the district, said she and her husband had discussed moving there later. “They’re taking deposits now,” Burchett joked.

Budget address, y’all come! This Friday, April 27, will mark the 24th annual mayor’s budget message when Mayor Madeline Rogero delivers her first budget address. The first was in 1988. Prior to that, Knoxville mayors simply handed off their budget to a city council workshop. It was a limited audience with minimum notice. When I became mayor in January 1988 I changed that outdated system and converted the budget announcement (which the charter requires the mayor to present to council by May 1) to an address and a State of the City speech. Subsequent mayors have maintained this tradition and the county mayors have now copied it but hold a breakfast meeting. My first budget address was in the Community Room of the Candy Factory at the World’s Fair Park to a much smaller audience than we have today. In fact, the then City Council did not know quite what to make of it as it had never happened before. More than 3,000 invitations to Rogero’s budget address went out. If you are not on the list and want to go, just call the mayor’s of-

Today’s meeting of the Knox County Commission will be about money, and Mayor Tim Burchett hasn’t even presented his budget yet. Expect discussion on the school board’s budget, starting with public forum at 1:45 p.m. and continued discussion (from last week’s workshop) of proposals by two developers to get tax relief in exchange for tackling tough “brownfield” developments inside the city. My prediction is that most public comment will support the school board budget (including remarks by this writer) and both redevelopment requests will pass, although the $10 million TIF for University Commons is a huge frog to swallow. First, you’ve gotta believe that a Walmart will stay in one spot for 25 years (or its empty nest will be taken up by other worthy sales tax generators). Then you’ve got to move county-based commissioners toward supporting a project in the university area. And finally, you’ve got to motivate city-based commissioners such as Amy Broyles to look past the anchor tenants to the overall community benefit. Budd Cullom, developer of University Commons, said neither Publix nor Walmart will get a property

There will likely be more than 800 persons in attendance, fewer than the Rogero inaugural but more than the normal budget message. Plan on early arrival by 11:30 for parking and visiting with others. It will be a place to see and be seen. Communications Director Angela Starke tells me that Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis will be the MC and Rabbi Beth Schwartz, the retiring rabbi of Temple Beth El, will give the invocation. Fire Department Captain Scott Warwick will sing the National Anthem, which he did at the American Embassy in Warsaw for two July 4 celebrations when I was Ambassador to Poland. The Knoxville Community Band will perform and the Police De-

partment will provide the honor guard for the flag presentation with Northwest Middle students leading the pledge of allegiance. Each council member will host a table. So if you want to sit with a particular council member look for their table and lock down a seat. If you want a seat close to the podium you need to get there early, too. Judith Foltz, city special events chief, has planned a red, white and blue color theme in gingham. During a 4 year mayoral term, there are really only five speeches a mayor gives which are guaranteed to attract citywide attention. These are the inaugural address and the four budget messages. Rogero gave a well-received inaugural address and now it is time for her first budget given in a very scenic and well -used park. Hopefully, her address will contain substantially more money for trees which have been destroyed on city property as well as greenway expansion as an integral part of a green city.

In and out of order Some wide receivers are sane Shelley Breeding eligibility case goes to court By Betty Bean The most dramatic moment at Thursday’s Election Commission meeting wasn’t when the Republican-dominated board, on a straight party line vote, moved to ask a judge to determine Democrat Shelley Breeding’s right to run for office in Knox County because her property is bisected by the Knox-Anderson county line and Anderson County collects her property taxes. It came later, during public forum, when former County Commissioner Mark Harmon, a Democrat, asked the commissioners to reopen the vote and do it again without Commissioner Rob McNutt, who has admitted voting illegally on seven occasions. “Your failure to do that harkens back to those horrific days (during County Commission’s notorious ‘Black Wednesday’ era) and stains this county and stains this board,” Harmon said. Board chair Chris Heagerty, an attorney, took offense. “You are completely out of order,” Heagerty said. “(As a citizen speaking to a public body), my comments by definition cannot be out of order,” Harmon snapped back. Commissioner Dennis Francis, a Democrat, echoed Harmon’s request, but Commissioner Bob Bowman, a Republican, said someone on the prevailing side would have to make the motion to recon-

Shelley Breeding is flanked by her attorneys, Jon Cope (left) and Billy Stokes. Photo by Betty Bean sider – “And I’m certainly not going to do that.” “Do I hear a motion from Mr. McNutt?” Harmon asked. “No,” McNutt said. “Then you’ve validated my point,” Harmon said. Election Administrator Cliff Rodgers started the meeting with an explanation of how Breeding’s eligibility came to be questioned. He said that an employee noticed an irregularity in Breeding’s husband’s address when she was verifying the signatures on Breeding’s qualifying petition. He said he “began to gather facts,” and used the KGIS mapping system to determine that Breeding’s house is across the Anderson County line, but said he never told Breeding that she is ineligible to run in Knox County (although he did say he wanted to conclude the matter so she could run in Anderson County, if she wanted to). He recommended that the commission follow state Election Coordinator Mark Goins’ advice and ask for a declaratory judgment to decide the issue, since it is likely to end up in court whatever is decided.

Breeding’s attorney Billy J. Stokes said he believes his client will win in court and cited a 1994 Tennessee annexation case – Committee to Oppose the Annexation of Topside and Louisville Road v. City of Alcoa – which held that “curtilage” (the immediate, enclosed area surrounding a house or dwelling) is the primary factor to be considered in determining jurisdiction. This, he said, is the prevailing law on this issue (Goins relied on a 1931 case). Stokes pointed out that Chief Deputy Law Director David Buuck was the prevailing attorney in this case, and he read from a disclaimer atop the KGIS website warning users not to rely on it for accuracy in determining property boundaries “or placement or location of any map features thereon.” Commissioner Dennis Francis, a Democrat, urged his colleagues to vote on Breeding’s eligibility: “I don’t know why everybody’s passing the buck. Mark Goins didn’t do his job. Let’s vote on it. Why do we have this commission if we’re not going to make any decisions?”

A particular coffee club, fortified by senior discounts, learned to endure mornings without Da’Rick drama. It was a test of patience. One vocal member, fighting off frustration, took remedial action. He broadened the Tennessee discussion considerably by declaring all wide receivers are quirky, spoiled or just plain nuts. He didn’t blame God. He said fans cause it with wild applause. He gave some credit to linebackers and other headhunters who pretend to be nice, little cornerbacks. A good target runs a crisp route, looks back for the ball and somebody drills him in the ribs and tries to break him in half. Or, even worse, he leaps and stretches for an overthrow and comes down with feet up and head stuck in the turf. The hits and threats and celebrations are enough to confuse basic values. The speaker’s point of reference was Terrell Owens. Oh no, said I, please, not T.O. or Randy Moss. There is no Volunteer connection. Going back to when ends were not even split, I said receivers don’t have to be goofy or selfish or even egotistical. Take Lester McClain for example, model citizen, a naturally quiet man who just ran down the field, caught the ball and ran some more. And Larry Seivers, best hands of my lifetime,

catch it if he could touch it, and present it to the nearest official in the end zone. If Larry had been a flamboyant self-promoter, he would be in the Hall of Fame. Johnny Mills was a wee bit different. He thought he was always open and told Dewey Warren as much. He was really open one Saturday against Auburn. Caught 11. Burned Kentucky for 225 yards. Sent a letter to Bill Battle reminding the coach to never take receivers for granted. “We are the ones who made you rich and famous.” Willie Gault was always on the edge of show biz. Stanley Morgan could fly. Donte’ Stallworth averaged 17.6 yards per catch which was borderline spectacular. Kelley Washington developed a cocky reputation. He was older and confident and dubbed himself “The Future” and irritated some teammates by working harder. His numbers were hot, one great season, 64 receptions, 1,010 yards, 256 against LSU. Kippy Brown joined Johnny Majors’s staff in

’83 and helped Tennessee become “Wide Receiver U.” Tim McGee, Alvin Harper and Carl Pickens helped, too. Pickens was different. He had big-game flair – as in 13 catches against Notre Dame. Dearly beloved Peyton Manning and not-tooshabby Tee Martin had a little something to do with creating fortunate wide receivers. Joey Kent: very productive, career 183 receptions for 2,814 yards and 25 touchdowns. Peerless Price: great name, 147 receptions, 2,298 yards, 19 touchdowns, MVP in the national championship game. Marcus Nash: 177 receptions, 2,447 yards, 20 touchdowns. Defining moment was short catch and long run against Auburn for ’97 SEC title. The list of winners is long. Robert Meachem? Two splendid seasons. Cedrick Wilson? Twenty-four touchdowns. Jeremaine Copeland? Everything except blazing speed. I don’t remember any of them being much of a distraction or parlaying a suspension into missed winter workouts as did Da’Rick Rogers. Terrible punishment, something like throwing a bad-boy rabbit into a briar patch. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

School field trips remembered

The grave of the state of Tennessee’s second governor, Archibald Roane, at Pleasant Forest Cemetery. Photo by Jake Mabe

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

suppose most elementary school students like to take “field trips” as part of their educational experience. Certainly that was the case at Farragut Elementary. After all, being out in the sunshine in late fall or early spring certainly beat sitting in a classroom looking out the window. We didn’t take many field trips, but one in particular became more of a pilgrimage than a field trip. It was our visit to Pleasant Forest Cemetery where most of the early settlers to the area lived. I don’t remember exactly how many times we visited, but it seems like almost every year during my elementary school years. Since the cemetery was only about a quarter of a mile from the school on Concord Road, and since traffic was always very sparse at that time, we usually walked the short distance strung out in a single line like ducklings with the teacher leading and an adult in the rear. Most of my interest in history developed later in my life, and I never paid much attention to the teacher explaining the significance of the cemetery. But this historic cemetery is worth a visit for both adults and school kids with an interest in the area’s history. It is the second oldest cemetery in the county – second only to First Presbyterian Church cemetery on State Street behind the Tennessee Theatre, where many of the early Knoxvillians are laid to rest.

Pleasant Forest Cemetery is the resting place of our second governor of Tennessee, Archibald Roane (1801-1803), and several Revolutionary War soldiers, including Thomas Boyd and “Elder” David Campbell, co-founder of Campbell’s Station which is now the town of Farragut. Roane County is named for the governor who passed away in 1819 and whose grave went unmarked for almost a century until the state erected a monument in his honor near the end of World War I in 1918. Other field trips included visits to working farms in the area, particularly dairy farms. My family was not involved in farming, but the work I did to maintain our vegetable garden was enough to convince me that there must be an easier way to make a living. But as part of a school project one year, I did raise rabbits and learned that rabbits can quickly become a growing business. School field trips have been reduced in Knox County during the past few years because austere school budgets have limited funds available to transport students to the sites. But some local public and private schools still manage to offer these educational experiences. In my area, the Farragut Folklife Museum is a favorite field trip destination, particularly for 1st and 2nd graders. And as a docent and tour guide, it is easy to relive my early field trip experiences and appreci-

ate the challenges these trips place on teachers. And while it is hard to maintain the attention of these young kids for more than about 30 seconds, they often notice things that I overlook in my presentation. In one particular visit, I was explaining the art of scrimshaw and how the sailors scratched nautical images on sperm whales’s teeth. During my presentation I noticed two little boys playing a great deal of attention to a particular tooth. When I asked if there was something I could explain, one said, “That whale had a cavity in his tooth.” I assumed that these two must have had a recent trip to the dentist, and the fact that the whale had a cavity was more interesting than the art of the scrimshaw. But since that time, I have included their observation as part of my presentation.

Thanks for the memories, ‘Barnabas’ By Jake Mabe It was with a heavy heart that I heard last Thursday night Jonathan Frid, the man who made vampire Barnabas Collins famous on the ’60s ABC-TV classic “Dark Shadows,” away, Jonathan Frid passed ironically on Friday the 13th. A relative said Jon’s health was declining in recent weeks and he died peacefully in his sleep. I can’t help but wonder if the upcoming

Tim Burton/Johnny Depp farce of a “Dark Shadows” remake didn’t hasten Mr. Frid’s death. “Dark Shadows” was my favorite show. I caught it in re-runs during its resurge in popularity after the short-lived NBC-TV revival series. Yep, I figuratively ran home from school to watch it. The theme song is my cell phone’s ringtone. I have the soundtrack LP and 30 of the 32 yellow-cover Paperback Library books. Rest in peace, “Barnabas.” You’ll never know how much this kid liked you and adored (and still adores) Dan Curtis’s crazy dream that is “Dark Shadows.”

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.

Always remember texts, selected by Knoxville Jewish Alliance Executive Director Jeff Gubitz, that emphasized the importance of remembering the 6 million lives lost and being vigilant so that such atrocities are not repeated. The Rev. Susan Sgarlat read a quote from Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and author of “Night”: “Each of us has a tendency to ignore abuses, so long as it doesn’t affect us, or those we love. It can be easy to turn our heads from the violence we see in the world around us every day and ignore the problems evil creates. It is not ‘my’ problem, we rationalize. It is not ‘my’ concern.” Members of the Sound Company Children’s Choir of Oak Ridge performed songs from “Brundibar,” a children’s opera that was per-

formed by Jewish children interned at Terezin, a Nazicontrolled transit camp in Czechoslovakia. The original audience was primarily Jews who were being sent to Auschwitz, and most of the performers were executed after Hitler used a film of the opera as propaganda. After the yellow candles were lit, Rogero ceremonially lit a candle in honor of Europeans who took it upon themselves to save Jewish neighbors and friends. Andy Loebl sounded the shofar, or ram’s horn. Pais, who was born in Lithuania, was sent with his family to a ghetto at the age of 14. At 16, he was sent to Dachau concentration camp with his father and brother. He never saw his mother again. He was interned at Dachau until he was 18.

Locked doors

the good news. Even while they were recounting their amazing experience, Luke says, “Jesus himself stood among them. …” Jesus, who apparently just appeared in the room, later asked, “ ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.” (vss. 41b-42) This man, whose death the women and John, at least, had watched, made a point of eating: a very human, very physical, very alive thing to do! And, equally astounding, this very physical Jesus was neither deterred, nor slowed down by locked doors! In contrast, the famous Warner Sallman painting of Jesus standing and knocking at a door with no handle or latch on the outside implies a Jesus who will not enter unbidden, one who waits for an invitation. So can Jesus walk through locked doors or not? Seems to me the answer lies in what welcome awaits him. He knew that the disciples – that shocked, grieving, terrified, confused little band – would be delirious with joy to see him alive on Easter evening! After all, what’s a wooden door to the Conqueror of sin and death, the Savior of the world? But when it comes to the door of the human heart, Christ is not so presumptuous. He knocks like any polite guest and waits to be invited in.

By Wendy Smith Arthur Pais was one of three Holocaust survivors who lit a yellow candle during Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Rememberance Day, held last Wednesday at Temple Beth El. While the memories are painful, he frequently tells his story to church and school groups. “People have to know,” he says. That’s the reason for the annual observance, which is open to the public. Community leaders like Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and attorney Sheryl Rollins, wife of Beck Cultural Exchange Executive Director Avon Rollins, participated in the service, as did religious leaders from several organizations. Participants read from

A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” (John 20: 26 NRSV) Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me. (Revelation 3: 20 NRSV) I try really hard to listen to the sermon, for several reasons. First, my pastor’s sermons are worthy: well-prepared, honest, with memorable illustrations. They make me think; they challenge me; they call me out of myself. Second, I sit up front, facing the congregation. If I am not attentive, it is quite evident and sets a bad example. But sometimes, something that is said in a sermon triggers an idea, and my mind is off and running, putting two and two together and coming up with 150! Last Sunday’s sermon (about Jesus’ post-resurrection appearance to the disciples a week after the Resurrection) triggered a new thought. What is it with Jesus and locked doors? John’s Gospel tells us about several post-Resurrection appearances of Jesus: to Mary Magdalene in the garden and then to the disciples (except for Judas who was

Lynn Hutton

CROSS CURRENTS dead by then, and Thomas who was absent) on Easter evening. In that instance, John says that “… the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews.” Yet, “Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ ” (John 20:19-21) He did the same thing again a week later, with Thomas present this time. “Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Luke’s account (in Chapter 24) of the encounter on the road to Emmaus ends with the two who had shared a meal with Jesus running back to Jerusalem to share

His wife, Mimi, accompanied him when he spoke to 40 groups last year. “He puts a face on history,” she says.

His primary message, especially to students, is “don’t forget.” He never refuses to tell his story, and when he does, it captures

his audience. “Kids are usually very rowdy, but you can hear a pin drop when I talk. So I know they listen.”

nament was against Kingston, which resulted in a loss after penalty kicks were played out because of a 0-0 draw. The Panthers resumed their regular season, losing to Sevier County High 2-1, with Palcu being the lone Powell scorer. Due to an injury, the Panthers were forced to substitute and shift players to different positions. “It was just a bad situation,” said Palcu. The Panthers currently stand at 2-2-1 and play today (April 23) at Morristown East. Palcu saw some silver lining. “We started playing well as a team,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what our record is, we’re still going to be in the district tournament.” Palcu saw the weekend’s games as great preparation

DECA serves community, state By Cory Chitwood Spring has been a season of opportunity for Powell High School’s DECA club. The international organization for marketing students hosts regional, state and national competitions.

to meet members of other DECA clubs from all over the state while staying in the Music City’s Opryland Hotel. Marketing teacher Susan Martin heads the club at PHS and says that though there were no “official” student officers, seniors Taylor Smiley and Terah Nicely have assumed the role. “We don’t have any officers because of how relatively small the club is, but Smiley and Nicely have re-

Susan Martin, marketing teacher and DECA sponsor, brought students Melodie Haskins and Terah Nicely to the recent meeting of the Powell Business and Professional Association. Both students spoke of their experiences at the state DECA convention. Photos by S. Clark Powell sent 13 club members to the regional competition in the business management category. Beyond that, four from Powell took part in the state convention in Nashville. Once there, students got

ally become leaders,” said Martin. Nicely and Smiley attended the state convention, along with sopho-

ville. “I met some awesome people that I talk to every day.” A goal of the statewide convention was to bring unity to all of Tennessee’s high school DECA units, since the club was established in Memphis. Convention participants took time to establish unity and posted at #DECA Unite on the popular social media site Twitter. Competing at a regional competition simply couldn’t outweigh what

for the district tournament, too. “We’re learning from this. We’re seeing the ways various teams come at us. We just have to be versatile enough.” Palcu plans on his team learning from the mistakes they make. “That’s the beauty of the regular season. We can perfect things before the district tournament.” The PHS track team also competed, participating in the all-male Oak Ridge meet on April 14. Anchored by Georgetown-commit Andrew Ogle, the Panthers placed fourth in the 4 x 8. In the 4 x 4, Ogle ran two legs and led the Panthers to second place at 50.8 seconds. “Our four by four really has some great potential,” said Ogle.

took place in Nashville, either. “The competition in Nashville was awesome,” said Smiley. Nicely and Smiley weren’t at the state convention just to compete, however. They were there to help guide state DECA in the right direction. As voting delegates, both helped elect next year’s president and vice president. Haskins and Lawson received leadership training at the convention, preparing them to head the club after its senior members graduate. Martin believes that the students’ DECA experiences will help them in their future job environments because of the knowledge and skills they gain. “They learn public speaking and leadership skills,” said Martin. “DECA is a really good organization to help students explore the different aspects of business and marketing,” said Martin. Participants also formed long-lasting ties statewide. “People who go there meet so many new people and some are even offered jobs,” said Smiley. “It was a great learning experience and I hope that more people will join DECA.”

PHS MARCHING PANTHER BAND

After excelling in the first few weeks of the season and jumping to an 11-0 start in district play, the Powell Panthers baseball team hit a snag. The Panthers lost twice last week to their Emory Road rivals, the Halls Red Devils, 4-3 and 5-3. In the second game, the Panthers led up until the 6th inning, when Halls senior Ryan Galyon hit a three-run homer to give his team the lead. It was an unlucky break for the Panthers; it was Galyon’s first homerun of his career. Assistant coach Jay Scarbro attributes the loss to his team playing differently than they have all season. “We really didn’t get key

“We’ve just got to get back on track,” said Scarbro. The Powell soccer team hit a few bumps in the road as well, but also a few high points. The Panthers played in the Clinton Tournament on April 12-15. The first game came against Jefferson County; it resulted in a 0-0 tie. “That just happens sometimes. You don’t score,” said senior Ellias Palcu. The Panthers rebounded in the next game, however, walking away as 1-0 victors over Sweetwater. Powell then played Morristown West, a team they had beaten in the preseason. Powell won again, 2-0. “It’s hard to beat a team the second time around,” said Palcu. “(Morristown West) is an excellent team.” The last game of the tour-

A partner you can trust Roger Kiger knows a lot about partnerships. Right out of college, he and his twin brother, David, went into business together, forming a partnership that has passed the test of time.

Shannon Carey

They bought a South Knoxville marina formerly owned by the artist Jim Gray. The pair invested a lot of sweat equity into the property, doing construction, pouring concrete and more. They were successful and went on to purchase or start more businesses. Among other establishments, they own the marina at Volunteer Landing, David owns the Orangery and Roger owns Visionary Horizons Wealth Management. At Visionary Horizons, Roger and his staff pour that partnership expertise into their clients, partnering with them to grow their assets and achieve

their dreams. The firm, which Roger describes as small and independent, manages $75 million in assets for about 60 families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the driving force behind everything we do,â&#x20AC;? he said. Roger and David are also involved in Angel Capitol Association, a group that provides seed money for entrepreneurs looking to start their own businesses. Starting a business is tougher now than it was when the Kigers were getting started. Roger said that they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to do what they did in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lending environment. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital to start with a strong, practically ironclad business plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the business environment by itself is so competitive now that you really have to have all your ducks in a row,â&#x20AC;? he said. But persistence pays off and so does having a trustworthy partner at your side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(David and I) had every reason to go under multiple times,â&#x20AC;? Roger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a true believer that successes are built on failures.â&#x20AC;?

Roger said that in the face of failure, he and David would put their heads together and work out a plan. Often, the diverse nature of their various businesses was what kept them afloat. It is this diverse expertise that Roger hopes Visionary Horizons can pass along to its customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between the five advisors here, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much that comes up that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in the past,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think our clients rely on us for that.â&#x20AC;?

The seniors at Love Tower s have alr e a d y broken out their gardening tools, just in time for Earth Day on April Nance 22. Through a partnership with the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (CAC) Green Thumb program, many KCDC residents are being provided with their own garden plot, free seeds and fertilizer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a gift that can reap an estimated $350 to $650 worth of produce. Jim Cunningham, CAC community gardens manager, oversees 23 such gardens located throughout Knoxville, more than a dozen of them at KCDC housing sites. Cunningham has been supporting community gardens for more than 20 years. He says the Love Towers residents always do a good job of growing and maintaining their garden. Resident Lenoir Davis said last year she harvested green beans, okra, squash and butter beans, a nutritious supplement to her diet. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already harvested some onions this year. The seniors at Love Towers have staked out their plots and prepped the soil for the garden. Now they eagerly await
