Farewell message

The Rev. Lester Mullins has pastored Pleasant Hill Baptist Church for 25 years and now it’s time to retire. Mullins told his deacons he wants to continue to worship at Pleasant Hill, but as a senior member. His final sermon as pastor will be Sunday, July 15, and he hopes for a big turnout. Pleasant Hill is located on Brushy Valley Road across from Copper Ridge School.

Hodges wins LaTain McGhee award Anne Julius of the Quarterback Club presents the second annual LaTain McGhee scholarship to Jacob Hodges, a recent graduate of Powell High School. “Jacob demonstrated academic talent, enthusiasm, commitment and dedication, the life goals set forth by the late LaTain McGhee,” said Julius. Hodges will attend UT Knoxville this fall. He is the son of Karla Hodges, a Powell Elementary School teacher, and Eddie Hodges.

The Powell Business and Professional Association sponsored booths with free food and drink in the field near Halftime Pizza. The Powell Lions Club sponsored the parade, as it has for many years. Charter member Edd Miller was the grand marshal. The Powell Playhouse had a multi-car presence, along with groups from One Life Church and Frightworks Haunted House. The One Life folks were better looking. Along the parade route, families with chairs, tents and lawn umbrellas gathered. The Sheriff’s Office helicopters buzzed Emory Road for the half-hour leading up to the event, keeping kids entertained and adults snapping photos.

‘Dream come true’ Jay Scarbro is new face of Powell baseball By Cory Chitwood

4509 Doris Circle 37918 (865) 922-4136 news@ShopperNewsNow.com ads@ShopperNewsNow.com GENERAL MANAGER Shannon Carey shannon@ShopperNewsNow.com EDITOR Sandra Clark sclark426@aol.com ADVERTISING SALES Debbie Moss mossd@ShopperNewsNow.com Shopper-News is a member of KNS Media Group, published weekly at 4509 Doris Circle, Knoxville, TN, and distributed to 8,314 homes in Powell.

It’s official. Jay Scarbro has been promoted to head baseball coach at Powell High. Scarbro will be taking over after four years as an assistant under Jeff Inman. Scarbro played baseball for the Panthers and graduated from Powell in 1996. He then went on to play two years at Hiwassee College, followed by two years at Tennessee Wesleyan where he received his bachelor’s degree. He received his master’s degree from Lincoln Memorial University and is a school counselor at Powell. During his playing career at Powell as an outfielder/pitcher,

Jay Scarbro the Panthers won two district championships and posted four consecutive winning seasons. Scarbro himself made All-KIL.

“We had a lot of success when I was there,” said Scarbro. College told the same story. All four of Scarbro’s teams had winning seasons and made him love the game enough to stay involved. Scarbro’s first coaching gig came as an assistant at Hiwassee, where he worked as a recruiter as well. In his four years as an assistant at Powell, the Panthers have won a district regular season championship and a district tournament championship, along with two regional appearances. “It’s been four really good years,” said Scarbro. “We’ve seen quite a few players go on to play Division I.” Scarbro also considers himself fortunate to have been at Powell under Inman.

“I really enjoyed working with Coach Inman,” said Scarbro. “He is a good friend and very good guy to work with … we had a great relationship … we seemed to really complement each other.” Off the field, Scarbro has his family to thank. “I’m really thankful to have the support of my wife, Lauren, and daughter, Henley Kate, and the support of my family,” he said. Scarbro sees an array of talent in Powell. “Projections for the next few years show a very talented group,” said Scarbro. “I’m excited about the possibilities.” And although the Panthers lost several to graduation, he says, “Throughout the year we had six or seven sophomores playing at one time. We also have a very good rising junior class … and seniors who have played all four years. I’m very optimistic.” Let us care for your wedding gown…

News from Office of Register of Deeds

June outpaces 2011 By Sherry Witt Although not quite as robust as the figures from May, data from the month of June c ont i nue to show some encouraging Witt signs for real estate activity. For the month that closed out on Friday, June 29, there were 836 property transfers recorded in Knox County. While that is 12 short of the number registered in May, it surpassed last June’s figure by 125. It is the fourth consecutive month that has outpaced its 2011 counterpart for the number of properties sold. The aggregate value of the property transferred in Knox County during June was $170.6 million, which also fell just short of the May amount of $176 million. May and June of 2012 were about $40 million ahead of the same period from last year in terms of the total value of property sold. Mortgage lending also continued to trend ahead of its 2011 pace. During June, approximately $278 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County, compared to $220 million a year ago. Continued low interest rates and government

programs which have allowed refinancing for homeowners who are upside down on their mortgages have contributed to the healthier numbers. The largest sale of the month was indicated by a Special Warranty Deed between Knoxville 100 LLC and ASO Knoxville LLC for property located at 145 Moss Grove Blvd. The consideration was $9.58 million. Another large transfer was the sale of an office complex located at Locust Street and Summit Hill Drive. That parcel sold for just more than $3.5 million. The only mortgage transaction of more than $10 million was a construction loan for property in Brookview Town Centre for $10,877,500. Since June 30th marked the halfway point of 2012, some noteworthy comparisons can be made between the data compiled for this year and that from the first six months of 2011. In terms of property transfers, 2012 has seen 4,104 sales while 3,688 were recorded during the same period of 2011. So far in 2012 there has been just more than $772 million in real property sold in Knox County. This time last year that figure was running at about $747 million. Sherry

government No sparks from mulch report The mulch fire report, released by the city two weeks ago, has been greeted by a large yawn. This fire lasted many days. It caused major inconvenience to nearby businesses. It triggered a significant fish kill in Third Creek. Clearly, the mulch pile was allowed to expand far beyond its permitted height without anyone halting it. The buildup led to the fire. The absence of a public discussion is somewhat astonishing given the scope of the problem and potential for a repeat. Will Council follow this issue and make certain the recommendations in the report are implemented? The city Administration would be well advised to report back in a few months on its own compliance with its report. Taxpayers deserve more than a one- or two-day report which is soon forgotten or shelved. Parking: In the past, parking for visitors at the Gloria Ray Visitors Center on Gay Street has been hard to secure, but interim KTSC head Kim Bumpas is working on locating more parking spaces adjacent to the building and expects to have 21 spaces by August. This will be a giant step forward for out-of-town visitors who wish to get a better idea of what Knoxville has to offer. Bumpas plans to submit this to the KTSC board at its July 10 meeting. Burchett report: The current controversy over the Tim Burchett campaign financial disclosure has many aspects to ponder before reaching an opinion. First, a candidate should never name a relative as treasurer even if legal and it is. It is not a good practice. This is further complicated with Allison Burchett saying she cannot locate the records. Without documents, it will be hard to determine what happened when checks were made out by Allison Burchett to herself.

Victor Ashe

Second, having known Tim Burchett more than 30 years, it is hard to imagine that he would knowingly violate the law or encourage someone else to do so. His honesty is clear and separate from policy positions he may take which are subject to public debate. He has integrity. He also is frugal with both his own and the public’s money. The best way forward for him now is to be totally candid about what happened, take steps to ensure further donations and expenses are handled by a treasurer who has no ties to him personally, and work hard to find the paperwork on prior checks which seems to be missing. This could be a story which ultimately leads nowhere but is good for weeks of articles. A cloud is created which will not go away. The request for New Sentinel records by Mayor Burchett will only intensify the media scrutiny of the whole matter regardless of the outcome. Kudos: The Rogero Administration deserves compliments for the recent installation of the handsome new iron fence around Blount Mansion east of the City County Building. It really dresses up the area and replaces an ugly chain link fence which created the wrong image for Gov. Blount’s home. This started with the backing of former Deputy Mayor Larry Martin under Mayor Daniel Brown and was implemented by Knoxville’s energetic young public service director David Brace. This is an excellent example of what the city can do to assist a nonprofit which means so much to the history of the total community.

Tim Hutchison’s family legacy Former Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison says there’s an easy explanation for why he’s running for the state Legislature: his parents and grandparents set a high standard for him to follow.

Anne Hart

at home, “it was definitely the highlight of my career, being able to help people like that.” In gratitude for the emergency aid, Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish (La.) wrote, “On behalf of all the people in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama who were affected by Hurricane Katrina, I express our heartfelt thanks. I was credited with saving hundreds of lives because I provided helicopter support to the New Orleans Police Department. In fact, the helicopters were actually helicopters from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee. The helicopters did much to save hundreds of lives in New Orleans.” Hutchison says he and Lee had met while serving on the same committees at the National Sheriff’s Association, “and when he called and asked for help, I was glad we could provide it.” Hutchison says he wants to continue that kind of service to others in the Legislature. He is especially interested in finding ways to help small businesses and seniors. He looks back with particular pride at one of the programs for seniors he established as sheriff: Project SCAN – Senior Citizens Awareness Network. “It provides a plan for seniors to check on their neighbors on a regular basis, particularly those who live alone. It has meant a lot to people.” Hutchison says he has always enjoyed interacting with the public, and especially so during this campaign. “I am really enjoying going door-to-door to hear people’s concerns.

From left are Blake, Amherst Elementary; Lexie, Karns Middle School; and Makenna, Karns Elementary. the things they’re telling me is that they want government out of their lives – all levels of government. It has become far too intrusive. “They know that businesses won’t be attracted to Tennessee if we pass a state income tax. They don’t want a state income tax and I don’t want a state income tax. “They also know we need to get government out of the way of businesses as much as we can so that businesses can grow. “And they know we don’t need the Legislature to keep passing unfunded mandates. They pass something over there and then all of a sudden local government has to run around and find the money to pay for it. The attitude in Nashville seems to be ‘just pass it and

everybody will learn to live with it.’ That’s not right. “All levels of government seem to take the attitude that they’re just one resolution away from a perfect society, and that’s not the truth.” He adds with a laugh: “I’d like to have a resolution that says for every new law you pass, you have to take two off the books. “What I want is a smaller, smarter government. I think that’s what the people of this district want, too.” Hutchison is a graduate of West High, and his wife, the former Jan Kohl, is a graduate of Farragut. They have made their home in Karns since 1976. They have two daughters and three grandchildren and attend West Park Baptist Church.

This is the first in a four-part series profiling the candidates in the newly-created state House 89th District race. Because there is no Democratic candidate, the winner of the Aug.2 Republican primary will represent the district in Nashville. The candidates are Tim Hutchison, Roger Kane, Joey McCulley and William “Bo” Pierce. The district consists of Karns, Hardin Valley, Solway, West Haven and part of Norwood.

‘Hank hung the moon’

(and Rheta did too) Let me get this out of the way right out of the gate: this column is biased. Rheta Grimsley Johnson has been sweetening my Sunday morning coffee for a coon’s age. (Or, at least since the Sentinel switched her column from Wednesdays to the first of the week.) Next to Marvin West, Rheta is the best, a super scribe, a forever favorite, J.D. Salinger to my Ray Kinsella. (See the novel “Shoeless Joe.”) She has made me glad and she has made me mad and she has made me fall in love with an unforgettable cast of characters, most of whom I never would have met otherwise. Most of all, she marvels at music, music that grabs you, stabs you, soars you into the stratosphere and drags you into de-

spair. In other words, she’s got terrific taste in tunes. Which is one of a million reasons why her latest book, “Hank Hung the Moon (and Warmed our Cold, Cold Hearts)” is such a delight. It is not a biography of Hiram King Williams. That’s been done before, good ones, bad ones, those in between. No, this is a musical memoir, musings on moments when the song remembered when, centered on country music’s king. Rheta’s late husband, Don Grierson, called what Hank did “industrial-strength country,” and that’s as spot-on as a big red bull’s-eye. It was honest and it was real and it was cherubic and it was sinful and it was as stark as a life sentence without parole. She talks about first hearing

Hank because her Daddy loved him. She then moved on to her own “magical mystery tour” when her Boomer generation changed music forever. But, she found her way home in the mid-70s, when she and her first husband, Jimmy Johnson, made up the entire editorial staff of a weekly newspaper in Monroeville, Ala., in the county where Hank had briefly lived as a boy. “Often, I’d be riding down the road alone,” she writes, listening to the radio on her way to an assignment, “and Hank’s voice would slice through the static like a meteor through a night sky. For the first time since early childhood, Hank was riding with me. I liked it.” She talks about meeting Cathy “Jett” Williams, the lost daughter nobody knew Hank had until Jett landed in the early 1980s. She talks about finding a box marked “Hank” in the attic of the Louisiana home she’d owned with Grierson while cleaning it out after his death in

the winter season or a oncein-a-lifetime educational adventure for Yemi Makanjuola and other Volunteers. Most likely it will be a blend, serious business and unforgettable sights. Other coaches who have taken other teams on this outing report multiple benefits. “It was a great trip,” says Rick Byrd, who led Belmont

to Italy last August. “I have shared our experiences with Coach Martin.” Byrd said some coaches want all basketball, practice, practice, practice, play every day. “We played three games. We wanted the trip to be meaningful to the players.” Trent Johnson, then of LSU, took the Tigers to Italy last summer. “The cultural experience is valuable. Anytime you go out of this country, you know how fortunate and how blessed you are to live here. There are a lot of guys on this team that had never been anywhere.” Oregon coach Dana Alt-

2009. Inside she discovered the work Grierson and his former wife, Pat, had collected for a planned book about Hank, first conceived roughly about the time Jett surfaced. She talks about having dinner with Myron Floren, the great accordion player with the ubiquitous grin from “The Lawrence Welk Show.” Myron told Rheta he didn’t mind the accordion jokes, “as long as I’m playing 150 concerts a year.” “Same as Myron,” she writes, “Hank Williams certainly never worried about whether he was hip or not.” But my favorite part of the book happens when Rheta writes about how her daddy would stretch out on a rarely-used couch on Sunday afternoons, weary from his work as a butcher for WinnDixie, and listen to music until he drifted off to dream. Her father was 34 then, and had outlived Hank Williams by five long years. “And some days, when the paycheck wouldn’t stretch quite far

man figures the Ducks saw things they’ll remember forever. “I think everybody is going to remember seeing the Colosseum and The Forum. A lot of guys went to the Vatican. Lake Como was something they’ll remember and the cathedral in Milan is unbelievable. “We stopped in Florence and saw the statue of David. I think everybody will have a lot of memories, and the food was pretty good, too.” Martin has been there. He played professionally in Italy. He sounds fair and balanced. “For our team, the trip provides a chance to gain valuable time together on and off the court. For our fans, it’s a chance to combine a European vacation

enough, when the babies were bawling and the biscuits got burned ... when he knew Sunday was almost over and that Monday morning he must get up, button another starched white shirt to his chin and hit the road again, it must have seemed to Daddy that Hank had all the luck.” (Can she herd words or what?) She talks about Hank’s innate genius, his ability to sum up a thousand heartaches in three minutes, the way he knew a midnight sky was purple, not pitch black or dirty blue. Any ol’ idiot can blather on for 800 words. The trick is to get to the heart of the thing and to do it without taking the long way around the barn. “Hank speaks of ‘old, sad yesterday,’ and you know he’s successfully shortened every description of despair ever written to just the three perfect words: Old, sad yesterday. Perfect.” Just like this book. If you like good writing or good music, the three chords and the truth kind, go get “Hank Hung the Moon.” Savor it. Or, save it. Tuck it away for a literal or figurative rainy day, when you just might need it. Whatever you do, just read it. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

with the opportunity to cheer for the Vols while traveling with the team. They’ll feel like they are part of the program – which is how it should be – because they are an important part of everything we do.” Jerry and Nancy Fortner of Greeneville are going. “We went with the basketball team to Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 2007,” said Jerry. “We are very excited about this trip. Tennessee has a really good group of players and coaches.” The Fortners will dust off history and geography lessons. Ah yes, old Rome. The Colosseum, an amphitheater, was built between 70 and 82 AD. It became the “in” place for

gladiatorial and wild animal fights and maybe a few dramas and political rallies. A short walk around Palatine Hill is what remains of Rome’s largest racetrack, the Circus Maximus. Vatican museums must be the largest such complex in the world – 1,400 rooms, the Sistine Chapel, parts of the papal palace, glorious art galleries. Think Michelangelo, Perugino and Botticelli. Saint Peter’s Basilica has many important art works, including Michelangelo’s Pieta. The basketball trip will stop at the Republic of San Marino. I really like little San Marino. It is half the size of Liechtenstein and has no national debt. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Knox native faces death penalty in Mississippi murder-for-hire Arnold Smith was one of the smartest kids in West High School’s Class of 1960. Gangly and tall, he had a goofy grin and peered at the world through blackrimmed Buddy Hollyesque glasses. Kids today would probably classify him as full-on nerd.

Betty Bean He was evidently considered something of a mad scientist – the father of one of his friends used to worry that he’d blow up the neighborhood with the experiments he conducted in the basement of his Terrace Avenue home. So it probably didn’t surprise anybody when he went to medical school, became an oncologist and opened his own cancer treatment center. There was nothing about him in 1960 that would make anybody predict that this high school National Honor Society member would be spending the blazing hot summer of 2012 in a Mississippi jailhouse charged with orchestrating a murder-for-hire scheme to kill his ex-wife’s lawyer. A smattering of his old friends, neighbors and classmates have been following the news from Greenwood, Miss., and although hardly any of them will talk about it on the record, it’s probably safe to describe their reactions as stunned bemusement. Circuit Court Judge Harold Wimberly grew up with Smith, but has only seen him occasionally over the years. “He’d call every once in

awhile and came to class reunions, but that was about it,” Wimberly said. “Undoubtedly he made more money than any of us, owning that cancer clinic. He was always very smart in things like chemistry and science.” Wimberly was in New York when the news broke about the shootout in Greenwood lawyer Lee Abraham’s office between government agents and two hapless would-be hit men. A friend sent him a link to a story about their childhood friend being charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit murder and one count of capital murder, which carries a potential death penalty. “He said ‘Wow! Look at this!’ “It happened the last Saturday in April.

Knoxville College students started picketing segregated downtown theaters and lunch counters in February 1960, but the schools Arnold attended – Van Guilder Elementary, Tyson Junior and West High – were close to home and all-white, something that wouldn’t begin to change until 1963, when African-American parents took the Knoxville city schools to court and forced an end to school segregation – nine years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education ruling. While Arnold was accepted into UT as a matter of routine, another member of the Class of ’60, Theotis Robinson of Austin High School, had an uphill climb. It took a personal meeting with UT president Andy Holt and a vote of the board of trustees to get him in the door, and that didn’t happen until January 1961 (UT was on the quarterly system in those days). ■

Music was good

Segregation wasn’t much of an issue when it came to music. “Tonight’s the Night” by the Shirelles was the No. 1 song on the radio that year, followed by Ray Charles’ “Georgia.” “Cathy’s Clown,” by a couple of longhaired West High alums who’d been kicked off Cas Walker’s show, the Everly Brothers, charted in at No. 10 that year. Chubby Checker just barely missed the top 100 with his new dance sensation “The Twist.” Downtown Knoxville was entering the long, slow decades of decay that would follow. Bus ridership was declining and businesses started relocating to the suburbs. The old market house burned down in December 1959. Hardly any-

Off to Memphis

Smith left Knoxville in August 1963, when he enrolled in UT’s Medical Units in Memphis. While there, he was inducted into the AOAMedical Honorary Society and got his MD in January 1967. He did a yearlong surgery internship there and then did a residency in neurosurgery, special diagnostics, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine at the Mayo Clinic. He did other residencies at the University of Kentucky and the University of Mississippi and moved to Jackson, Miss., in 1974 to become the director of the Department of Radiation Oncology, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. Two years later, he became medical director and radiation oncologist at North Central Mississippi Regional Cancer Center in Greenwood. His website says he was Mississippi’s first full-time board certified radiation oncologist in private practice. In December 1997, he added membership in the American Board of AntiAging Medicine to his long string of credentials. His clinic thrived, and so did Smith, who became a collector of antiques and historic artifacts. As his professional successes mounted, Smith’s personal life was crumbling. He was married and divorced twice, and fathered nine children, whose ages range from 42 to 17, the eldest of whom is an oncologist practicing in Arkansas. ■

First, kill the lawyers

The biggest part of his troubles seems to date back to 1994, when his second wife, Sara McAdory Smith, filed for divorce, triggering a nasty four-year fight over money and possessions. In a bizarre 1999 deposition connected to an insurance claim over property he claimed had been stolen

from his home, Smith did not attempt to implicate his exwife but complained that she pestered him continually for additional money, even after the decree became final. The word bizarre comes up a lot in documents and news reports from this period, as demonstrated by his rant, under oath, about multiple elaborate conspiracies to deprive him of his livelihood and material goods. He claims, among other tribulations, that a family with a housecleaning business systematically stole antiques, rugs, artwork, appliances, clothes, food, car keys, dry goods, flyswatters and the rubber “flippers” from one of his vintage toilet tanks, leaving inferior look-alike replicas in their place. Smith had developed an obsessive hatred of his wife’s lawyer, Lee Abraham, a member of a wealthy, politically connected family. In April of this year, Smith told a newspaper that he’d been lured into the country and stabbed by someone who’d promised to deliver compromising photos of Abraham, whom Smith labels as a “Muslim” bent on doing him in. What he didn’t know was that state authorities were already investigating a reported plot against Abraham’s life, so when the attorney contacted the Mississippi attorney general to report that someone had offered to sell him a gun that would implicate Arnold Smith in a plot to have Abraham killed, he was instructed to tell the informant to come to his office on a Saturday night. Three state agents were waiting when 20-something year-old felons Keaira Byrd and Derrick Lacy arrived wearing ski masks and toting assault weapons. A gunfight ensued, and Byrd was killed. Smith was arrested the next morning, denied bond and remains in the LeFlore County jail, awaiting trial. His prospects look bleak, since a video he took of himself telling Byrd to put a bullet between Abraham’s eyes has fallen into the hands of the prosecution. He hasn’t been idle, though. His medical license was set to expire on June 30, and the state Board of Medical Licensure required the sheriff to haul him to a nearby county to attend a special hearing where his privilege to practice medicine was extended until June 30, 2013.

Room for us all The angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, “By myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore … and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice. (Genesis 22: 15-18 NRSV) I have refrained from commenting on the controversy over the building of a mosque in our state. Against all odds, I kept believing (hoping, praying) that those who oppose the construction of a house of worship would wake up and remember that this is America. I am a Christian. I worship in a church. I also worship on a mountain top, or at the edge of my meadow, or around a campfire, or when I am driving. I have been startled by deep moments of awe when I top the ridge on my way to work and see the azure mountains against a pink sky. To be honest, I do some of my best praying in the car (eyes open, of course), and not always because of the behavior of other drivers. It is a place I am alone and cannot be interrupted. I have long conversations with the Almighty while on the road, explaining my struggles and confusion, sharing my joys, asking questions, as well as singing His praises. There are others – who worship the same God I do –

CROSS CURRENTS who worship in temples and synagogues. They call God Jehovah, or Yahweh. We Christians share a common heritage with them. Jesus, whom we call the Christ, was born and died a faithful, practicing Jew. And the Muslims, some of whom are seeking to build the mosque, worship that same God, whom they call Allah. “There is but one God and Allah is his name.” They, too, are part of the strand of monotheism that goes all the way back to Abraham. All of that is just background. As I write these words, it is July 3. Tomorrow, we Americans will throw parties and eat ice cream and wave flags in honor of our country’s birthday. Will we also

remember why this country came to be? Because some Puritans left England, fled to Holland and ultimately came here, seeking religious freedom. They wanted the freedom to worship as they pleased. They were Protestants, not Anglicans. They also wanted to separate religious affiliation from eligibility for public office. (In England at that time, one couldn’t be elected to be the village dogcatcher if he was not a member of the Church of England.) Some of those same issues came with the immigrants. Even in the New World, some people wanted to make everyone fit their mold. There were colonies where religious freedom was nonexistent.

I’ve been everywhere By Cindy Taylor This column has never focused on the ordinary and this article will take it even a step further. Generally we talk to those who have taken an art form to a new level. This week we spent time with someone who has talents that required persistence as well as ability.

DOWN-home UPdate Dennis Johnson has not only collected an expansive knowledge of Union County that he has categorized in the far reaches of his brain, but he has actually set foot in every other county in the 50 United States. That’s right. Every county. All 3,142 of them. Something only 25-30 people have done. During his county visits, which began in 1992, he would often collect things like Civil War artifacts, many of which were found while Johnson was snorkeling. Yeah, he does that too. When asked why he would want to make the trek to every county in the U.S., his response was simple. “You can’t get there accidentally,” said Johnson. “I did it for the same reason many have climbed Mount Everest. It was there.”

Johnson, an Army veteran and biologist, had a conversation years ago with a coworker about what it would be like to set foot in every county in the U.S. The next thing he knew, they were traveling those roads. “Obviously, the first county I visited was Montgomery County, Md., because that is where I was born. The last was Trousdale County, Tenn.,” said Johnson, who also collects license plates. He has one from every state and one for every year from Nebraska and Tennessee beginning in 1916.

Chance is recovering nicely after allegedly being shot by his previous owner’s 12-year-old twin boys. This is the second time an animal has been abused by this family. An investigation is currently underway. Photo by S. Barrett ■

Fate saves Chance A few weeks ago, Chance was shot by two 12-year-old members of his family. The bullet bounced off his skull, and the owner waited three days before surrendering the bassett hound to the Jefferson County animal shelter. He is expected to make a full recovery but he will always have a physical scar from the incident.

The looming question seems to be, “How did these kids get their hands on a loaded gun?” “We need to raise awareness of what can happen when children are left unattended,” said Debbie Clark, operations director for HSTV. “(Chance) was lucky not to have lost his eye.” Or his life.
