The Parrotts had a certified diver take a look at what was under the water and he reported finding at least 26 old tires, large chunks of brown plastic with insulation attached, three propane tanks, numerous cans and bottles, and aerosol containers on the bottom of the lake. “It’s just ruined our property,” Mandy Parrott said. “The force of the water came down and washed over the side of our pond and cut a huge gulley. It looked like somebody had taken a dump truck and dumped trash in there. There were a lot of dead fish and quite a few dead animals – possums, mice, raccoons. It just washed them out of the woods.” Chuck Parrott’s father died in 2000, and Chuck says seeing the ruination of the project that he and To page A-3

feet down and the Parrotts’ grandchildren loved to fish and swim and picnic and camp there. But all of that has changed since the June 28 detention pond collapse at the Rufus Smith Properties construction site on top of the ridge sent a wall of muddy water roaring down on the homes and woods below, sweeping up garbage from an illegal dump and depositing it along the way. The Parrotts’ property is at the foot of the ridge. Now, iridescent blue dragonflies flit among plastic bottles and tires and clumps of Styrofoam insulation in the shallows. Old propane tanks are barely visible through the heavy sediment in the deeper water. The drainpipe is plugged with muck and the water is lapping at the top of the deck that Chuck and his father built on the steep side of the bank.

Prison is a growth industry, one of the few that can make such a claim in the sour U.S. economy. And while local governments from Knox County to New York watch

Analysis treatment resources dwindle or remain stagnant, drug addicts and their suppliers add to the rising inmate population. The longterm consequences are too expensive to ignore, but the immediate costs for a solution are a hard sell for already strained budgets. John Gill is a special prosecutor in Attorney General Randy Nichols’ office. Gill characterizes the dilemma as “a real balancing act” in which the safety of the community must be weighed against the choice of incarceration or treatment. Gill says property crimes in Knox County are “almost always” drug related, and a dangerous trend has

developed. Some addicts are now so desperate they will enter a home that may or may not be occupied during the day. Even these bold burglars may not be locked away immediately, however. In Knox County, Gill says, nonviolent offenders “probably get two or three bites at the apple” (probation) before they serve time, and those who do end up behind bars have earned it. “There is almost nobody in jail in the U.S. for simple possession of drugs,” Gill says. It can be difficult for local governments to tally the social costs of drug addiction when deciding how to allocate resources, but those costs are substantial. Gill says some studies estimate an offender may rack up $400,000 in thefts before being caught the first time. Criminal Court Judge Bobby McGee routinely deals with the violent and nonviolent crimes spawned by drug addiction. McGee says probation or judicial diversion in lieu of jail time is a “case by case” decision. Among other issues, the trial court

considers whether judicial diversion serves the interest of the public as well as the accused. From his days as an attorney, McGee recalls what he a calls a “classic example” of judicial diversion that was right for the community and the offender. A University of Tennessee student majoring in nuclear physics with a 4.0 GPA was admiring a ring in a jewelry store when “he snapped” and grabbed the ring. Security guards quickly apprehended him. McGee successfully argued for judicial diversion for the student. As the judge notes, there is a need for nuclear physicists. But the judge’s student is the atypical offender. “The criminal justice system is costly and it will probably continue to become more costly,” McGee says. “It’s fueled by drugs.” McGee served on the Sessions Court bench before moving over to Criminal Court. He recalls how the appearance of crack cocaine on the streets “changed everything.”

McGee and Gill agree that administering a justice system bloated by drug related crime is expensive. Gill notes the recidivism rate is high even with competent treatment for addiction. Adding the chronically mentally ill who weave in and out of the county jail to the ledger creates a recipe for looming fiscal and social catastrophe. The proposed safety center for mental health crisis intervention needs a commitment of about $1.7 million for 10 years in order to secure a $1.5 million HUD construction grant. The project has stalled. “We are spending the money now,” Nichols said last fall. “We can build more jails or (do something that will) actually help people.” Inaction isn’t a choice. The cost of expanded treatment for addicts and the mentally ill pales when stacked up against new $20 million jail pods and dozens of Gill’s $400,000 career burglars. We can pay now, or we can pay (much more) later.

PHS Dreams Foundation sets budget The Powell High School Dreams Foundation is about to begin its third year of supporting the academic activities at Powell High School.

Greg Householder

The board of directors has adopted a fundraising goal of $30,000 for the upcoming school year. Of that amount, $10,000 will be set aside for supporting teacher continuing education with $15,000 set aside for classroom support. Student incentives will account for the remaining $5,000. The foundation will be collecting money at football games and at the open house on Aug. 25. The PHS Dreams Foundation serves as the “academic booster club” for Powell High School. For parents with kids at PHS or even Powell Middle School, the foundation is important. Funds raised and disbursed by the foundation are monies that teachers, classrooms and students would otherwise not receive from the county. Info: www.powellhigh schoolfoundation.org/.

good things going,” she says. While summer reading programs have come to an end, there are still things going at the library. “Storytime” for 3-yearolds happens on Fridays at 10:10 a.m. until Sept. 2. “Storytime” for 4- to 5-year-olds is at 10:30 a.m. Beginning Sept. 2, the “Storytimes” for 3- through 5-years-olds will be combined at 10:30 a.m. There will be a Teen Read Week in October. The Powell Library has WiFi for patrons with their own devices and the library also has desktop computers for public use. Copy service is also available but the library does not perform facsimile services. The library also has a meeting room for

public use and it is usually booked every night the library is open late. Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Sign-up is available for Imagination Library, a program which mails free books monthly to children up to age 5. The library also offers homebound service in which volunteers deliver books to shut-ins. An e-book program allows cardholders to download electronic books into their device. These books do not have to be returned and simply will disappear after three weeks – thus no turnins or late fees. The Kindle by Amazon is currently not compatible, but Ferguson says the company is working to make the Kindle compatible with library systems nationwide. Ferguson has nine on her staff – three full time and six part time. She estimates that 200-300 patrons per day visit the Powell Branch depending on the day. And she loves everyone. “I think we have the best patrons in the county.”

they all enjoy making new friends and learning about a variety of subjects. Hillbrook Camp is supported by the Church of Christ. It is a 55-acre complex nestled in the wooded area off Emory Road. Accommodations include 14 cabins, several pavilions, a mess hall, a large swimming pool and hiking trails. Under the canopies of tall trees, summer heat is blocked enough to keep the facility comfortable. Donahue encourages individuals to join American Heritage Girls. The organization began nationally in 1995, and the first area troop

formed in 2001. Presently, Knoxville has three, but she would like to see the number increase. Twelve girls are needed to form a troop. More information about American Heritage Girls is available at www.ahgtn0413.org/. By the end of the week, campers and staff members were ready to return home as the girls prepared for the coming school year. They’ll keep forever the memories of camping with other members of American Heritage Girls and of a fabulous site nestled in the woods of East Tennessee and unknown to most residents of Karns, where it is located.

Now it’s a trash dump.” Chuck Parrott has been up the hill to Dawson Hollow and seen the demolished home of his neighbors Gary and Marsha Carter, and he says they have it worse than he does. He says he has nothing against development, but he believes Rufus Smith Properties and Claude Yow (the

owner of the illegal dump site) should be held responsible. “I certainly wouldn’t go up there and trash their place. This is sickening.”

American Heritage Girls camp at little known Karns facility By Joe Rector One of the best kept secrets in the Karns community exists on Copper Ridge Road. Hillbrook Christian Camp rests in the hills surrounding the area and offers exciting experiences to youth throughout the summer. The camp hosted the American Heritage Girls’ first regional camp July 31 through Aug. 5. Girls from across the Southeast arrived for a weeklong adventure that included “faith, service and fun,” according to Amy Hamby Scott. They worked on requirements toward earning six badges in several areas. Mike “Stump” Smith, a Tennessee Wildlife and Resources officer and camp volunteer throughout the summer, taught boating safety, and Laura Marshall worked with girls on their photography badges. Other guest

instructors held sessions on scrapbooking, American history and insects. Groups spent one evening making blankets to donate to a local dialysis center. But not all was work as plenty of time in the schedule allowed girls to swim, play games and get to know each other. Co-director Lydia Do-

nahue said this is the first year that American Heritage Girls have held a weeklong camp. Campers ranged from 9-17 with younger ones coming for a day camp only. Seventy-two girls and 20 staff members enjoyed a variety of activities. Donahue’s four daughters, ages 7-15, attended the

camp with their mom. She said the best thing about the event, called Camp Narroway in a reference to scripture, is the opportunity for girls who share common value systems to spend time with each other and in nature. Even though some of the younger campers experience some homesickness,

Homelessness returns to mayoral race This time a year ago most people thought homelessness was going to be a major issue in the mayor’s race. So far, that hasn’t happened, probably because of Mayor Daniel Brown’s decision to discontinue (or at least hit the pause button on) the Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness (TYP).

How much for the Smokies? Big happenings locally and nationally last week, and Mr. Answer Man’s mailbox is bulging. Let’s get to it. Q: I’m disgusted with the U.S. Congress and Senate, Mr. Answer Man. Both bodies seem more interested in party agendas than in the welfare of the people. What do you think should be done? A: Mr. Answer man has spent countless hours looking for ways to repair our dysfunctional federal government. I recommend an amendment to the Constitution that would change the requirements for holding elected office. Any person belonging to the following groups would be barred: ■ Republicans ■ Democrats ■ Libertarians ■ Tea partiers ■ Persons under the age of 65 ■ Persons whose surnames remind you of mustard, margarine or donuts These exclusions would go a long way toward raising the IQ (integrity quotient) of our representatives. Q: Mr. Answer Man: I see that U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais published a piece in the local daily defending his “nay” vote on raising the debt ceiling. Were you impressed by his argument? A: I was impressed. Mr. Answer Man had never encountered such a courageous display of ignorance. Q: The stock market is dropping faster than Obama’s re-election hopes. Where should I invest my nest egg, Mr. Answer Man? A: Put every last dollar into local roofing companies. Your money should be safe for at least a year. Q: Looks like the Carter community will get its new elementary school. What do you think of Mayor Burchett’s “model” now? A: Mr. Answer Man is happy for the folks in Carter and pleased to see Mayor Burchett fulfill a campaign promise he didn’t make in the first place. As for the “model” (selling government property to finance the school), let’s consider it from a different perspective. The national debt is in the trillions and our infrastructure is crumbling. Could we sell “surplus” property to renovate our highways, bridges and utilities? How much could we get for Yellowstone National Park? The Great Smoky Mountains National Park might fetch a good price even in a depressed real estate market, and a recent report confirmed that fewer people are visiting that park because it’s too crowded. If you like the idea of auctioning Yellowstone and the Smokies to pay for infrastructure, you’ll love the mayor’s model for building schools. Q: Mr. Answer Man, since we have a federal debt ceiling, wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a formal debt ceiling for Knox County? A: The mayor is ahead of you on this. He recently fixed the debt ceiling at 8 feet, the approximate height that Dean Rice can reach while wearing tennis shoes. That’s all for this week. Next time around Mr. Answer Man tackles the question which has puzzled developers for years: Does water run downhill? Note: Kudos to Betty Bean for her recent story on the proposed 50-foot sign at the Sherrill Hill development. City Council was paying attention. It lowered the allowed sign height to 30 feet. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

Betty Bean Traces of the old rancor and posturing made a comeback last week at a forum sponsored by Redeeming Hope Ministries. Ron Peabody, who made his political bones by opposing the TYP, first toyed with the idea of running for mayor but hasn’t been able to get the talk (or the money) right in his City Council race against TYP supporter Finbarr Saunders. Both were in the audience when the forum started. Questions from the panelists (two of them home-

less or formerly homeless men) were exceptionally sharp. Tom Jackson, who sleeps on the ground, had a comment and a meaty question: “Everyone wants to talk about job creation, but can you appreciate how irrelevant that seems to those of us who cannot realistically compete in the job market? “The hurdles that have to be cleared are often insurmountable – they range from the complex to the obvious. From one’s lack of opportunities for higher education to the simple lack of transportation, access to a phone, the mission as your address and the difficulties of having nice clean clothes for a potential interview. “Again, we understand that your capacity as mayor is limited. However, as the leader of our community, could you see yourself as a mayor who would not only be a ‘job creator,’ but one who would champion the cause in clearing hurdles for those without homes to find meaningful

work while exploring the possibilities of creating incentives for job providers to look more favorably towards the untapped resources among the homeless community?” Madeline Rogero said she understands that a comprehensive approach that includes medical care, case management, job training, appropriate housing and transportation is needed. Mark Padgett said he understands the problems because when he was getting his business started

he slept on friends’ couches and lived on $200 a month. He also said that Jackson needs a career path. Joe Hultquist said we have a 60-year plan, not a TYP and that any program must have a nongovernmental administration. Ivan Harmon said churches are the key because government doesn’t create jobs. Bo Bennett said he’s all about people. Panelist Elizabeth Tiller, a UT student, had a philosophical question: Is having a home a basic human right? Hultquist said he’d use the bully pulpit. Harmon said this is the churches’ responsibility and a lot of people choose to be homeless. Padgett said he doesn’t believe housing is a basic human right, but said he favors a three-pronged approach – prevention, case management and abundant affordable housing. Rogero said shelter is a basic human right and that homelessness is costly to the community.

KUB resumes tree cutting Nashville Mayor Karl Dean easily won re-election to a second term with more than 70 percent of the vote last week. He is one of the Democrats’ best known public officials and is seriously mentioned for statewide office in the future. Dean held a fundraiser here in Knoxville a few months ago to broaden his recognition. He is not eligible for a third mayoral term due to term limits. Given the current high popularity of Gov. Bill Haslam, Sen. Lamar Alexander and Sen. Bob Corker, it is hard to imagine him challenging any of those three statewide officeholders. However, his re-election was coupled with two defeats in council races where he directly endorsed two candidates. He opposed incumbents, and both his endorsees lost. While Mayor Dean is personally popular, his endorsements came up short. Voters often like to have at least some members of city council who are seen as independent of the mayor’s influence. Nashville has an incredibly large city council with 40 members which makes it larger than the state Senate. It is one of the largest

Main question in the

mayor’s race seems to be whether Madeline Rogero will win the office outright on Sept. 27 or fall short of the needed 50.1 percent, bringing a runoff between her and Ivan Harmon or Mark Padgett. Who comes in second and faces Rogero in the Nov. 8 runoff? Harmon or Padgett? A mayoral runoff will guarantee a large voter turnout on Nov. 8 for that contest plus all four council contests. Without a mayoral runoff, the voter turnout will drop off 50 percent or more from Sept. 27.

Mayor plans picnic for storm workers Businesses and churches are sponsoring a hot dog picnic for storm recovery workers. About 700 from the city and county highway departments, police and fire departments, KUB and Red Cross will be honored at the World’s Fair Park from 4-7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19. “These folks went above and beyond the call during the storms, working long hours to get roads cleared, restore power, transport the injured and assist families,” Mayor Tim Burchett said. The Chillbillies will provide live entertainment.

After Carter: whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next? The school board voted 6-3 to accept Mayor Tim Burchettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer to build a new elementary school at Carter. It will be turned over in two years and built with cash, assuming Burchett can work his magic with the County Commission. The vote was a nailbiter, and the project was saved by two unlikely members: Indya K incannon and Thomas Deakins. Karen CarThomas Deakins son joined the majority to show support, after ďŹ rst voting no. Take-aways? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever count Burchett out. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a skilled political operative and has been since birth. Look for Deakins to replace Kincannon as board chair this fall. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already said she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek re-election. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a leader on either side of the Carter debate, but he weighed in when it mattered most. Not a bad political operative himself.

Sandra Clark So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for Knox County Schools? Three big issues were foreshadowed last week. Karns Middle School teacher Sherry Morgan and a couple dozen of her KCEA allies are ďŹ&#x201A;at-out mad that Superintendent Dr. Sherry Morgan Jim McIntyre has decided to stop negotiating with the union, a player in school politics since 1939. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our monthly meetings with the superintendent will stop; we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to bring lunch for the new teachers;â&#x20AC;? and worst of all, Morgan wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the usual release time from teaching (paid for by KCEA) to serve as full-time president.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voices must be heard!â&#x20AC;? she said, inviting board members to meet at the KCEA ofďŹ ce at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring dinner. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there all night.â&#x20AC;? Issue Two is McIntyreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea to outsource custodians, the lowest paid members of the KCS â&#x20AC;&#x153;family.â&#x20AC;? Several speakers sounded off, but as money gets tighter, this one wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away. Issue Three might be the presentation by Ralph Hu t c h i s o n and Kate Caldwell. They â&#x20AC;&#x2122;re protesting a lack of response from Kate Caldwell McInt yre around their concern that studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aptitude tests are provided to the military. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do that, you should also give them to Vista and the Peace Corps,â&#x20AC;? Hutchison said afterwards. Ed Hedgepeth, executive director of high and middle schools, said the release is required by No Child Left Behind. Wow. Who knew?

GOSSIP AND LIES â&#x2013; Cindy Buttry melted down at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school board meeting, drawing head shakes and a few chuckles. Seems Lynne Fugate and Pam Trainor wanted a two-day delay on turning in their evaluations of Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre. Buttry said she would vote no because she was criticized in the press for being late in a previous year. â&#x2013; Fugate and Trainor were not in the mood for lectures. Both had been lobbied hard on the Carter Elementary project, especially Trainor. Both were elected in 2010 and werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of Buttryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. But Cindy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut them any slack: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long will we hang our hat on being new?â&#x20AC;? she wondered. Ouch! â&#x2013; Jim McClain, board chair when former Superintendent Charles Lindsey was hired, appeared at public forum to discuss Carter Elementary. He seemed to suggest that board members

delay the vote in order to get private meetings with Mayor Burchett and favors for their district. Nobody was swayed; a couple were appalled. â&#x2013; Meanwhile, McClainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cell phone started ringing during his presentation. He slapped at it, left the podium and finally got it quieted. Which brings us to this Pop Quiz: Who was calling Jim? A. Robert Bratton, McClainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political foe, who merely wanted to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Squawk, squawk, B-b-b-b-b-b.â&#x20AC;? B. Charles Lindsey, who wanted to sue Burchett, the commission and maybe Gov. Haslam for trampling on the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority. C. Steve Hunley, who wanted to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You tell â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em, Jim. Tell â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote right! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em, get â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em ...â&#x20AC;? D. Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, asking him to pick up a loaf of bread on the way home.

MPC signs off on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;small townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Larry Van Guilder Five years after it was ďŹ rst approved, the Metropolitan Planning Commission has signed off again on the concept plan for an 820-unit subdivision with a mix of attached and single family dwellings off Chandler Road in southwest Knox County. Beacon Park came before MPC in May 2006, but legal problems delayed closing on the property until recently. Chandler Road resident Steven Jones has reservations. Jones said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not in overall opposition to the development,â&#x20AC;? but is worried about the increased trafďŹ c on Chandler, which will provide the only ingress and egress for the subdivision. Jones said between two and four cars an hour now travel the road, but that will increase to two to four cars per minute when the development is complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re essentially looking at a small town,â&#x20AC;? Jones said, asking MPC to consider requiring a second entrance to

Beacon Park. But MPC chair Robert Anders pointed out that nothing has changed since the concept planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst approval in 2006, and Commissioner Art Clancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion to approve the application prevailed. The Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farm, located off Keller Bend Road, has become a familiar applicant at MPC. Joe Elmore and attorney Arthur Seymour Jr. returned seeking approval of a development plan for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pavilion and event facility.â&#x20AC;? Commissioners familiar with the pavilionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history astutely pointed out that the facility was already operating and had been doing so for years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; out of compliance. The pavilion has hosted events for a number of local dignitaries and politicians since 2007. Knox County codes ofďŹ cials and the law directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce have ďŹ nally taken note of the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference for asking forgiveness rather than permission, but Elmore says the pavilion

canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the conditions demanded by the county engineering timetable, especially paving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been operating for four years out of compliance,â&#x20AC;? Clancy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you start out with a business plan that would have taken some of these expenses into account?â&#x20AC;? Clancy entered and later withdrew a motion to approve the development with 10 conditions recommended by MPC staff. After Commissioner Michael Kane said (according to the law director) the facility was operating illegally, Commissioner Rebecca Longmire picked up the baton. Part of owning a business is having a plan and following the rules, she told the unhappy applicant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we (MPC) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the rules, what are we here for?â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Robert â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moseâ&#x20AC;? Lobettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion to defer the application for 30 days was approved 8-3. Tune in to MPC in September for the answer to Longmireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question.

On stage and screen History fair activities offer a new book, old movies

Betty Bean ■ Nellie Pauline Bergen was born July 14, 1930, in Knoxville. She launched a long and varied show business career in radio at the age of 14, after her family moved to Los Angeles. In 1949, she made her movie debut in the Hal Wallis production “Across the Rio Grande” and followed that up with roles in a succession of Martin and Lewis comedies and some more westerns. Later, she found immediate success in the burgeoning field of TV variety shows and got her own “Polly Bergen Show” in 1957. While Bergen isn’t Knoxville’s most famous movie star, when Bradley Reeves and Luisa Trott of the Tennessee Archive of Moving Images and Sound (TAMIS) were choosing a movie to show at the Bijou on Aug. 20 for an East Tennessee Film Festival and open house, they picked the 1962 version of “Cape Fear,” which starred Bergen, Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. The other Knoxville stars in contention were Mary Costa and the Patricia Neal, both of whom have garnered lots of hometown honors, which is probably why the creative duo at TAMIS picked Bergen, who enjoyed great success in the early days of network television as well as on Broadway and in Hollywood. TAMIS will

amounts of visible matter (star stuff) and dark matter (negative stuff) to cancel each other out. The import of that statement is that the entire universe literally amounts to nothing. Dr. Stephen Hawking, the heir apparent to Albert Einstein in brilliance and scientific theory, says that he has concluded that it is possible — feasible, given what we now know about matter — that the universe could have popped into existence all on its own, presumably from a black hole that exploded. He therefore maintains that no Prime Mover, no Creator is necessary to the process. (He does add that he does not intend to offend persons of faith; this is a scientific conclusion rather than a theological one.) God, in theory, has been deemed prehensile: unneeded, useless, superfluous. Hawking also maintains that since everything that is came from a black hole, where there is no time, God could not have existed, since there would have been no time in which God could exist.

At this point, I have two questions. Since our understanding of God is that God inhabits eternity, rather than time, why does God need time at all? And if everything that is came from a black hole, where did the black hole come from? I am reminded of a story I read as a youngster. It may be apocryphal, but it is pertinent, nonetheless. A lecturer was denying the existence of a creator, saying that all life on Earth emerged from the primordial sea. A small, quietspoken man near the back of the auditorium stood and asked him, “Sir, if you please, where did the primordial sea come from?” One last observation, apropos of nothing in particular, but another reflection on the wonders of space: whenever I see images of the distant reaches of stars and galaxies, I am awestruck by their resemblance to drawings I have seen of brain cells. It was Carl Sagan, another astronomer of note, who said it best: “We are all star stuff.” And that makes me happy.

bus to town from Luttrell to spend the day with him. “Mommy started letting me ride the bus and I’d get off at the depot and walk to WNOX and be with Chester the rest of the day. One day, he said ‘Sing a song, Billie Rose,’ and Lowell Blanchard came downstairs and said ‘BilBack in the day when At- lie Rose, was that you singing? kins was a young guitar player Why don’t you sing a song in the on Lowell Blanchard’s “Midday show?’ ” Merry-Go-Round,” his little sisSo she did, and the big crowds ter Billie Rose used to ride the seemed to like what they heard,

which got Billie Rose to thinking. “I said, ‘Chester, do you think Lowell would pay me for singing? It costs me a quarter to come down here.’ Chester and I were real close and anything he would tell me to do, I’d do it. He told me to ask, and when I did, Lowell said ‘How about $2 a song?’ I thought that was good money.” Seven years younger than her big brother, her visits to the “Merry-Go-Round” gave her the opportunity to meet some of the biggest names in country music: “Kitty Wells used to straighten my hair and put hair bows in it. The Carter sisters came to my house to eat. They loved Chester and adopted my family as theirs. They wouldn’t go to the Grand Ole Opry unless they hired Chester, too. Mommy was so proud. All of us were.” Before her brother’s death in 2001, Billie Rose got to thinking about the books that had been written about her brother. She wasn’t exactly satisfied with any of them and she started putting bits and pieces of her memories together. “I said, ‘Chester, that’s not the way I remember it.’ He said ‘Well Sweetheart, why don’t you write a book?’ ” So she did.

f you have been reading this space for very long, you know that I am a person of faith who is completely at peace with both science and the Bible. I love the Affirmation of Faith from the Church of Canada: “We believe in God, who has created and is creating. …” I am fascinated by space, the heavens, the Cosmos, and fully believe that God is at work there. I might have studied astronomy instead of music if it weren’t for all that pesky math. I am mathematically challenged (my daughter Eden explains musicians this way: “We count to four; if a piece

of music is in six, we count it in two.”) Even so, I love to look at pictures of stars, galaxies and the clouds of dust that are star nurseries. I enjoy descriptions of the mysteries and wonders that are going on out there in the deep darkness of space. So, when I stumbled across a television show called “Curiosity,” hosted by David Gregory, in which he moderated a discussion about the creation of the universe, I watched avidly. Around the table were theologians, physicists and astronomers. Stay with me here. This is a metaphor one of them used: A man decides to build a hill. He starts digging dirt and piling it up until he has a substantial little hill. Problem is, in order to do that, he has created a hole: a hole that is exactly the same size as the hill he created. The Earth is no larger or smaller than it was before; it simply has been rearranged. Make sense? Sure. However, when applied to the universe, this scientist says the theory is that there are equal

Beware of upsets TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

ou and I know Montana will not upset Tennessee in the friendly warmup for the football season. Of course not. No way. We have endured strange weather and total eclipse and awful losses to Chattanooga and Memphis and North Texas State but Montana is simply too far out. But, just in case, here are some upset points of comparison, starting at the beginning: In late October 1921, the humble Praying Colonels of tiny Centre College, enrollment 254 in downtown Danville, Ky., caught a train to Cambridge, Mass., to face mighty Harvard. Little lambs were being led to slaughter. Harvard, established in 1636,

was a heavy force in football, Rose Bowl champ the previous January. Harvard was padding a 25-game unbeaten streak. Centre was to be a snack before the great Ivy League showdown with Princeton. Centre won 6-0. Five years later, November 1926, another giant went down. Lowly Carnegie Tech clobbered undefeated Notre Dame 19-0. Odds had favored the Irish by 5-1. The great Knute Rockne was so confident, he skipped the game in favor of real football, Army against Navy. This really happened. The coach went to Chicago while his team was playing in Pittsburgh. The cocky Rockne said his dumb decision may have been the worst

blunder in college football history. I can think of some closer home that are worthy of consideration. Incidentally, Notre Dame has had other disruptions. In 1972, Missouri, a 35-point underdog, overcame an inferiority complex and shocked the Irish. It is so much fun to recall upsets of Alabama. Louisiana Tech topped the Tide in 1997. It was homecoming at Bryant Denny Stadium. It was raining. Gowns faded, makeup ran, hairdos melted and hearts were broken. How could this terrible thing happen to our once-proud team? What would Bear think? You can believe this or not but Louisiana Tech stunned Alabama again in 1999. No kidding, a touchdown pass with two seconds to spare took out the Tide. Bewildered fans looked at each other and asked if what they saw really happened. In 2000, Southern Miss did it to Alabama 21-0. If that wasn’t bad enough, how about Central Florida! Crimson sources say that one was ugly, disgusting and another homecoming spoiled. What’s more, the hot dogs were cold and

caused indigestion. The $4 million acquisition of Nick Saban eliminated such disorderly conduct. You say no, that I have already forgotten 2007 and Louisiana-Monroe 21, Alabama 14? I remember 2007 and the really big one, David against Goliath, Appalachian State over Michigan at the big house in Ann Arbor. That scar is deep. You must know Michigan is rich and famous. The Wolverines spend more for dinner than Appy State has in its annual football budget. Never before had a nationally ranked upper division team lost to an unranked subdivision team. At home. Before all those people. Oh my. Younger fans are certain this was the biggest upset ever. Be advised that Chattanooga 14, Tennessee 6 was big enough. That one happened at Shields-Watkins Field and basically ruined my Nov. 8, 1958. The game would have made big, black headlines had the riot not taken first place. Smarty visitors, full of themselves, hopped over the restraining fence, ran onto the green and tried to tear down the goalposts.

On a Sunday afternoon MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

oday, Sunday afternoons offer a selection of cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities that would have been beyond my imagination 60 years ago. Typically, after church we often join friends for lunch at one of the many fine restaurants in our area which offer a broad selection of ethnic cuisine served in modern or old world settings. After lunch, we can choose such endeavors as a round of golf with friends or perhaps a matinee cultural event like a Clarence Brown Theatre presentation or a Knoxville Opera Company performance. And of course, there are always good cinemas playing or interesting sports events on TV. One of my favorite Sunday afternoon pastimes is visiting area museums. And with the diverse shops we now have in our area, it’s easy to entertain yourself by just browsing through them in search of that one item you’ve been wanting for some time. But on a Sunday afternoon 60 years ago in old Concord, life was more structured in that you did about the same thing every Sunday. First, having dinner (lunch) out after church was not something you did because there were no restaurants. There was a chicken restaurant (Dender’s Tender Chicken) at Dixie Lee Junction, and the Duisen family ran a country style restaurant where the old Court Café was located. But there was no local restaurant in the Concord-Farragut area. And of course, fast food establishments were still years in the future. So, part of getting ready to go to church was to have dinner (lunch) partially prepared the night be-

fore, and that included catching the chicken. We generally had fried chicken and occasionally pork chops or baked ham for Sunday dinner. But my mother could fry chicken in a way that would put the Colonel to shame. In fact, if the Colonel could have fried chicken as good as my mother’s, he would have been a general. No, there wasn’t a menu with multiple entrée choices, but I never got tired of it and I always looked forward to Sunday dinners. As for golf after church, we barely knew that such a game existed. There were no television programs that featured golf, and for that mat-

ter there weren’t many television sets. But croquet was a favorite pastime, and several families regularly sponsored croquet matches on Sunday afternoon. I usually participated in one sponsored by the Alder Thompson family who lived directly across the street. Mr. Thompson always kept his lawn well manicured to ensure

After each game, other players took their turn while the others watched. Of course, someone always brought refreshments, which were usually fresh squeezed lemonade or iced tea. The closest thing we had to performing arts events were occasional plays conducted at Farragut High School. These included both productions by students and local play groups. And of course, churches played a role in providing the best possible playing condi- entertainment such as music recittions and competition was fierce. als and occasionally a visiting choir And knocking another player’s group would perform.

Home folk, somewhat irritated by how bad were the Volunteers, resented the intrusion as more salt rubbed into a sore place. Fights broke out. Police intervened with tear gas. Firefighters whipped out their fire hoses. The stadium and city were saved. Several people ran for their lives in the general direction of Chattanooga. Some did not escape. They were arrested for trespassing and stirring up trouble. Chattanooga survivors have fond memories. They laughed out loud and staged a 50-year celebration. They are planning another for 2058. Losing at Memphis was also bad. That was 1996. The Vols were No. 6 in the country. Memphis had lost four in a row. The lowly Tigers should have lost five. Officials blew a call. Alas, there was no video review. Tennessee has endured several other upsets, including “what is a Rutgers.” Our guy Derek has enough troubles, please don’t let the Grizzlies get us.

period of 43 years, the Methodist and Presbyterian churches held both services and Sunday school together. And browsing through antique shops, book stores and museums was never an option. First, no stores were open on Sunday, and those that were open usually became the subject of a sermon in one of our local churches. An example was the Lakeland Service Center at the corner of Concord Road and Front Street. Not only did that establishment stay open, but they also sold beer, and the combination of those two indiscretions always made good subject matter for Sunday sermons. Ironically, Concord Swimming Pool and Concord Marina were always open on Sunday, but they never received much criticism from the locals. That’s probably because almost everyone in old Concord owned a boat or at least had access to one, and since boating and swimming had broad involvement, it was considered to be acceptable entertainment. Another Sunday afternoon pastime was visiting relatives. We seldom visited relatives, but relatives often visited us. Not much happened. We generally sat on the front porch and talked, and my mother would always serve a dessert. Visits were seldom impromptu, and when someone was coming, mother always fi xed enough food for dinner to ensure we had enough left over for supper. And as best I can remember, the visitors often brought food. So, reflecting on past and present Sunday afternoons, the most amazing thing is that so much change in thought, attitudes and entertainment has occurred in such a relatively short period of time. But I presume life in old Concord was very similar to life in other rural areas in the South 60 years ago. Life was simple then, and modern conveniences we often take for granted had yet to be discovered. And if I were asked to choose between the present and half a century ago, it would be a hard choice. Certainly, I enjoy the present, but I also enjoyed the past.

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • AUGUST 15, 2011 • A-9

Mildred Smith served community By Greg Householder Mildred Smith, a longtime community volunteer, passed away at her home in Powell last Monday. Mrs. Smith became a member of the Norwood Kiwanis in 1989 and immediately became involved with the Helen Ross McNabb Center Therapeutic Preschool, a program located at the Children and Youth Facility on Arthur Street that serves children who have been sexually, emotionally or physically abused or neglected. Children who have suffered major loss, traumatic events or who have emotional or behavioral difficulties may also participate. The program is designed to provide cognitive and developmental stimulation, therapeutic behavior treatment, nurturing structure and help with basic skills. Play therapy is an integral part in the preschool’s programming, and Mrs. Smith volunteered at the preschool regularly until the late 1990s. Even after that time, she stayed involved in the preschool activities, especially around the holidays, acting as the liaison between the Norwood Kiwanis and the preschool. Through her

Time out Daniel’s behavior this week has been atrocious. I don’t know if it’s boredom from summer break or just a phase. He’s been actively uncooperative, disobedient and willful.

Shannon Carey

moms101 And, yesterday, he told his Gran and me to shut up. I’m not sure from whom he learned that, but I sheepishly admit that it could have been me. I’ve never told Daniel to shut up, but I may have said it to the dog a time or two. Normally, Daniel is a well-behaved kid. He goes along with the group and helps out. He’s kind and sweet. This change has just come out of nowhere, and Daniel’s seeing a lot more of the time out corner than he has before. No, I’m not a spanker. Yes, we do time out. Frankly, even if I thought spanking was effective, Daniel hasn’t ever been that bad. Time out has worked for us. Most of the time, just the threat of a time out is enough to get the little guy to behave. I like to give him a warning. “Daniel, sit down on your bottom while you eat grapes.” “No! Look at me, I’m dancing!” “Daniel, that’s dangerous. Sit down now or you’ll

get a time out.” Then, he’ll hang his head a bit and say, “Alright, Mommy.” But, this week these exchanges have mostly ended with me carrying Daniel under my arm to the time out corner. So, does it work? I figure as long as he doesn’t like time out and the threat of it can effect a change of behavior, it’s working. Will it work forever? That remains to be seen. But, you’ve got to hand it to kids Daniel’s age. It takes guts, or maybe foolhardiness if there’s a difference, to stand up to someone several feet taller and an undisclosed number of pounds heavier than you. The other night, Daniel was pitching a fit over getting in the bath. From the kitchen, I overheard his dad say, “You know I can just pick you up and put you in the bath, right?” Daniel replied, “No, you can’t!” Oh, yes he could. However, I couldn’t help but indulge in a guilty little smile at my son’s determination. Parents, back me up here. Sometimes, even when they’re acting awfully and you’re trying to be stern, the kiddos will come out with something that makes you bite your lips to keep from laughing, something that makes you forget for a moment that you were mad in the first place. That must be what keeps us from selling them to the circus.

HPUD rates explained By Greg Householder For many members of the Powell Business and Professional Association, the Hallsdale Powell Utility District (HPUD) is just an expense that is paid each month. Of late, with the rapid pace of rate increases, that expense has increased considerably. HPUD’s chief fi nancial officer, James Smith, took the opportunity last week as the PBPA’s Business Spotlight for August to outline exactly what the company is about. HPUD was established in 1954 and is governed by the federal Utility District Act of 1937. It currently has 28,896 water connections and approximately 22,000 sewer connections.

ter plants on Melton Hill and Norris lakes and has a wastewater treatment plant on Beaver Creek. The utility is currently installing a major water distribution pipeline from its Norris plant through Halls. The rate increases have gone into needed infrastructure improvements and appear to be paying off.

One of the features it has that really makes me lazy is its spelling and grammar check. Whenever I misspell a word (which is often) it either corrects it or underlines the offending word in red. Like the word “neurobics.” That means that it isn’t a word that Word knows. But sure enough, it is a real word. It involves exercising your brain.

realestatereport the Turkey Creek complex. The property sold to Apple Ten SPE Knoxville II for $15 million. The financing for the sale was also the largest mortgage transaction of the month, coming in at $7.4 million. After seven months in the books, 2011 continues to see both the real estate and lending markets struggle. However, they seem to be more in a holding pattern than a steep decline, perhaps indicating hope that the proverbial “bottom” has been reached.
