TITAN A SELF-STORAGE

Fundraiser will support future Powell Playhouse productions

The Johnson Swingtet with Eugene Johnson on guitar and Jean-Phillippe Cypres.

So far, Nita Buell Black is batting a thousand.

Everything the legendary former Powell High School drama teacher has touched with the Powell Playhouse has turned to gold.

First, it was the theatrically and financially successful inaugural production of the playhouse back in June, “The Curious Savage,” and on Aug. 14 the first ever Powell Playhouse Art Show.

The art show was designed as a fundraiser first and foremost, but also as a venue to showcase local artists. It was a success on both accounts.

More than 200 paying patrons came through the door to check out the work of 32 artists. Exhibits ranged from oil paintings to metallic sculptures to wood works.

Artists were: Nancy Anderson; the late Kay Atkins – presented in her memory by her husband, Joe; Ann Birdwell; Scott Brannan; Leann Cooper; Lisa Cooper; Beverly Coppock; Randy Cross; Carol Crye; Jeff Delaney; Gale Engelke; Rhonda Harbin; Shari Harris; Mary Haun; Jeff Huffaker; Kay Jursik; Marji Kirchoff; Bill Lett; Bob Longmire; Mark Longmire; Evelyn Martin; Grace Ott; J.W. Roberts; Phil Savage; Danny Simmers; Marsha Sneed; Jamie Speed; Michael Speed; Jonathan Staggs; Robert Taylor; Jean Weeden; and Lillian Williams.

Musical entertainment was provided by the Lake Terrace Trio with Erin Archer on violin, Katie Middleton on cello and Abbie Wilmore on violin; a duet with Laura Gustafson on the English horn and clarinet and Matt McCurry on keyboard; the Johnson Swingtet with Eugene Johnson on guitar and Jean-Phillippe Cypres on harmonica; and John C. Calhoun on guitar. Closing out the show was Tara Gideon on guitar.

The Powell Playhouse has set its schedule through early next summer.

The Playhouse will present the play “The Night is My Enemy” by Fred Carmichael on Nov. 3-6 at the Jubilee To page A-2

Devon Group pulls a surprise Broyles: ‘That was directed at me’ The Devon Group’s announcement last week that it was pulling out of the Carter Elementary construction project caught more than a few people off-guard. Knox County purchasing director Hugh Holt was “devastated.” Commissioner Amy Broyles said, “I’m probably the most surprised person in the county right now.”

Analysis A letter from Bob Talbott, one of the principals in the Devon Group, to County Mayor Tim Burchett cites “a combination of political agendas and opposition to the Carter plan” as the reason for the firm’s withdrawal. Broyles is not mentioned, but until she questioned the selection process and asked about the State Street property purchased by Devon in 2007, there wasn’t a hint the developer would beg off.

Holt says he personally invested at least 500 hours since last November putting the project together. Devon has indicated it will give the county its work product on the school, which may go to Partners Development, runner-up to Devon in the selection process. But Holt cautioned it won’t be as easy as simply handing over the drawings to a new developer.

“There were five attorneys involved in this,” he said, and with the developer, the county, the school board and the Industrial Development Board yet again being drawn into the process, the second time around will be no easier.

Aside from the expected comments to online news stories, the criticism aimed at Broyles has been indirect. Broyles says she was doing what voters elected her to do.

“I appreciate the out-of-the-box thinking (on the project),” Broyles said. “And I hope that the best parts of this process we can do again.

“I was doing my due diligence on this issue and I raised the con-

cerns I had. … This is my job. Anyone who’s trying to pin this (Devon’s withdrawal) on me is giving me an awful lot of power.”

Yet clearly Broyles’ questions caused the train to jump the track.

Why? A hard-nosed cynic might answer that Broyles gave the developer cover, a reason to bail out of a project it wasn’t that happy with from the beginning. The school board’s approval surprised the mayor, this line of reasoning continues, but he was too far out on the limb to climb off.

But that doesn’t wash. To buy it you must believe there was never any genuine concern for the children in the Carter community, that the process was a political sham.

That’s frankly unthinkable.

So what could Broyles have said to make the Devon Group nervous?

“The first issue we need to address is the selection process,” Broyles said at last week’s commission workshop.

The Devon Group was ranked highest by the evaluation committee. According to Holt, the firm was not the low bidder, coming in with an initial price of $16.9 million dollars for the school.

“I negotiated them down,” Holt said.

The bid price was allotted 35 points in the evaluation process. So, much of the evaluation was subjective. But that wasn’t unique to this project, and a single commissioner wondering aloud about the selection process hardly seems sufficient reason to bail out.

Bob Talbott’s financial problems are a matter of public record. Earlier this year he was named as a defendant in several lawsuits filed by lenders. Talbott filed a counterclaim against one lender.

The Devon Group would have been carrying the cost of construction until completion. Are the firm’s resources too fragile to bear that burden?

Right now there are more questions than answers to this bizarre turn of events.

For those who only cursorily pay attention to the noise called television or radio news these days, I want to make it crystal clear that we are not palling around with the president and his family. The timing of our vacations is purely coincidental. We are at Myrtle Beach and they are at Martha’s Vineyard – big difference. My approval ratings (I hope) are much higher and I’m paying for my trip and we all are paying for theirs.

Again – big difference.

Since we left early Saturday morning, I was unable to cover the yard sales and car wash held by the Airplane Filling Station Preservation Association and the Powell High School Marching Panther Band. I’m sure both were a big success.

The AFSPA needs to raise about $16,000 to get $24,000 in matching grant money from the Tennessee Historical Commission.

pushing 100 degrees with high humidity, riding a bike in that kind of heat is no fun at all.

But on Aug. 13, the motorcycle ministry at the First Baptist Church of Powell had a very pleasant trip through Townsend to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The morning weather was cool and there was a noticeable 20 degree temperature difference between the cool air at Newfound Gap and the warmer air in Gatlinburg.

The group had lunch at the Applewood Restaurant in Pigeon Forge before heading home via Interstate 40.

The PHS Marching Panthers are in the home stretch before their trip-of-a-lifetime to Hawaii to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Last Friday, WIVK and WVLT joined for a radiothon/telethon with the hopes of raising $60,000 for future flights. It costs about $500 per veteran for these trips and I can tell you from first-hand experience of having the honor of serving as a guardian on one of these flights that it is a lifechanging experience.

government How do we characterize the news that the Devon Group has pulled out of the Carter school project?

Are Bob Talbott and his associates serious?

Yes, they are.

Has Talbott really recoiled from “a combination of political agendas” that “changed the dynamic” as he wrote to Mayor Tim Burchett last Thursday?

Give me a break.

If one commissioner’s comments at the commission workshop constitute a “combination” that changes the “dynamic,” Amy Broyles has – until now – shielded from public view power that would make the governor tremble.

One commissioner asks what happened to the Devon Group’s plans for developing the property at State Street and Church Avenue, the so-called “Sentinel Tower.”

One commissioner asks about alleged “construction issues” with the Knoxville Convention Center and Denark Construction.

“The model for the development of this new school has changed drastically since the initial RFP (request for proposal) was issued,” says one commissioner, and maybe we need to take another look at the selection process.

This is, in Talbott’s words, “a combination of political agendas and opposition to the Carter plan?” This was enough to send Talbott and Raja Jubran scurrying to safety crying “Danger, Will Robinson?”

Broyles should run for president. Her power to intimidate the opposition is being thrown away at the county government level.

If the house that Devon built could be leveled by a few questions from Broyles, the foundation was laid in quicksand. There isn’t a municipal project in history that hasn’t been opposed by “political agendas” from the right or left.

The big losers? The children in the Carter community.

No one who has stepped foot in Carter Elementary walks away believing its condition to be other than disgraceful. And Carter has a lot of company in Knox County.

But while this is sorted out, while commission considers tabling the project for a few months, while some school board members who voted to give the mayor his head have second and third thoughts, Carter Elementary deteriorates and the children wait.

■ Ryan Haynes says there’s not much to say. Someone hacked into his Facebook account, replaced his picture with that of a panda and made snarky remarks. Ryan may be calm, but we hear Percy Panda is looking for someone to sue.

■ Media ridicule Republicans.

That’s a common complaint on the GOP circuit. But how do you not talk about Michele Bachmann. First she tried to eat a corndog (check it out online); next she confused the date of Elvis Presley’s birth and death, pulling up at a campaign stop playing “Promise Land” and urging Elvis fans to celebrate Aug. 16.

■ And closer home, the Devon Group pulled out of their contract to build a new Carter

Elementary School after harsh criticism by Commissioner Amy Broyles. Which brings us to this pop quiz: What else did Amy cause?

A. Dictator Moammar Gaddafi fled Libya after Amy Broyles said he really had too many medals on his uniform and usually bad makeup.

B. Pilot Flying J announced a total conversion from petroleum to ethanol after Amy Broyles said gas fumes stink.

C. Barack Obama declared he won’t run for re-election because Amy Broyles said he’s been out of his element since he left the Illinois state Senate.

D. Freddy Joe on the playground at day care picked up his marbles and left because Amy Broyles muttered something about his momma.

Becky Duncan Massey is not the most articulate candidate in the race for state Senator. In fact, she’s often third when the three candidates appear at forums or on TV. Undeterred, she says: “I know what my strengths are.”

Those strengths were on display a couple of weekends ago when Massey opened her headquarters on Kingston Pike (across from Bearden Elementary School).

Her brother U.S. Rep. John Duncan Jr. welcomed “a great, great turnout for a great, great candidate.”

Jimmy Duncan added, “I’m pretty sure I’ve known her longer than anybody here.”

Prominently displayed was a photograph of her dad, the late U.S. Rep. John Duncan Sr., on Air Force One with Howard Baker Jr. and Harold Ford Sr. Her uncle, the retired appellate judge Joe Duncan, was in the crowd, along with numerous

Going to a party Come Wednesday I’ll be at a party on Kingston Pike, snapping pictures of Madeline Rogero and some of her best business buds at the home of Madeline Rogero Eddie Mannis. It should be fun.

Called to compassion Eddie Young, who in a relatively short four years has become Knoxville’s most inf luential voice for the homeless and the poor, says Eddie Young he just can’t read the comment section of the daily newspaper. He’d really like to believe that most people just aren’t that mean.

Young is an associate pastor at Redeemer Church in Fort Sanders as well as president and founder of Redeeming Hope Ministries, which has launched such Knoxville firsts as a voter registration drive for the homeless, publication of The Amplifier, a monthly newspaper devoted to news of the homeless sold

Betty Bean by homeless street vendors, and Food in the Fort, a feeding program that includes community vegetable gardens worked by members of the homeless community.

He spent 15 years of his youth caught up in the drug culture in his native Nashville, but he doesn’t think he deserves to be praised for turning his life around.

“We love success stories because they are exceptions to the rule. The person who overcomes terrible parents, extreme poverty or mental or physical disabilities – we love that because it is so rare. To most of us

in the mainstream, those are things we don’t have to overcome.”

Young claims none of those handicaps.

“My family wasn’t wealthy, but I had good parents. I could make mistakes and still have a safety net. I was able to maintain a job. At 30, I was a manager in Nashville at UPS. That’s when I underwent a real spiritual conversion.”

He resigned his job and entered the ministry.

In 1995, Young and his wife, Lori, and son Marcus (daughter Meagan wasn’t born yet) picked up and moved to the outskirts of Dundee Scotland, where he served a small church in a poor neighborhood.

There, he said, “God lifted a veil” and allowed him to see what his life’s work would be. He also saw The

Big Issue, a newspaper for the homeless.

He gets frustrated because there’s so much to do.

“Compassion can only take you so far. You can’t force the community to be compassionate. But you can force the community to act justly. There are things that are right that a community has to almost be led to – I hate to say this – against its will. But when you talk about segregation in the South, if we’d left the decision up to the community, we’d still be segregated. We’ve lost sight of the fact that we are called to free the oppressed, not just clothe the naked and feed the hungry. When we work at the soup kitchen, we feel good that we’ve accomplished something. But we have to get up and do it again tomorrow.”

CONDOLENCES

New pastor at Glenwood Baptist For Travis Henderson, receiving the call to pastor Glenwood Baptist Church was a call to come home.

Henderson, a Knoxville native and graduate of South-Doyle High School, comes to Glenwood from Potecasi, N.C. “No one is going to know where Potecasi is,” he says with a smile. Henderson pastored the Potecasi Baptist Church. Prior to his service there he served as the associate pastor for music, youth and children at Mount Hermon Baptist Church in the Raleigh, N.C. area.

Prior to that, Henderson was getting his master’s from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake

Forest, N.C. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee.

Henderson and his wife, Whitney, have two daughters: Isabella, 9, and Olivia, who turned 5 last Sunday.

Henderson’s first official day was Aug. 8 after being called by the church the day before.

His focus is on the community – he uses the word “community” frequently.

“We’re here to show the love of Christ to the community,” he says. “Our goal is to take the gospel to the community and ultimately to the ends of the earth.

We want the community to know we’re here and we want to be a part of the community.”

August miracle When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? (Psalm 8: 3-4 NRSV) There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.

It was quite late when we finally went to sleep and early morning when we awoke. The fire had burned to nothing, and we were dew-covered.

But I heard my mother laugh and rolled over to look skyward. There was a circle of faces looking down at us.

The farmer’s cows had come to see what was going on in their field! They stood around us in a perfect ring, sniffing us, clearly as amazed as we were. Cows are curious creatures (something else I learned much later) and they were mystified by this

I treasure that night for many reasons, not least of which is that my mother was willing to do such a whimsical thing. I also treasure the memory of the heavens ablaze with meteors, more amazing than any man-made fireworks display.

I was a young teenager, my brother three years older, my mother a young widow. One August afternoon, we decided we wanted to camp out somewhere. It was an extremely impromptu idea, but Mother got permission from a friend who owned a farm, my brother and I each invited a friend, and we set off.

We took a pot of stew and some firewood and a bundle of quilts. We found a spot in the middle of an open field.

We ate our stew, let the fire burn down, then stretched out on our quilts under the starlight. No sleeping bags, no tent, no lanterns, not

even a candle.

We had no idea the light show the universe had planned for us.

We saw shooting stars all night: long, trailing streams of light that decayed amazingly slowly, what the ancients called “the dragon stars.” We stayed awake much of that soft summer night, watching the show, oohing and aahing, afraid to blink for fear we would miss the next one.

I had never before, and have never since, seen anything quite like it.

It was many years later that I learned about the Perseids and realized that must have been the very meteor shower we saw that night. It happens every year in August, because the Earth is in the phase of its

“He is the president of all the people, Democrat and Republican,” Graham said.

A Journal editorial that ran the same day said the newspaper did not believe Nixon’s visit was personal or political. Nixon, the paper said, would by his visit “focus greater national attention on the Billy Graham Crusade at a time when a large part of the American public is in moral and spiritual turmoil.”

Others have suggested

that the University of Tennessee might be the one campus in America Nixon thought he could visit in the weeks after Cambodia and Kent State without too much protest. East Tennessee was solidly Republican, although the UT campus itself had seen its share of turmoil.

Twenty-two people had been arrested on campus during demonstrations in front of the UT administration building on Jan. 15, 1970.

Whatever his reasons, here Nixon came, and an overflow crowd estimated at 75,000 to 100,000 was waiting when he arrived about 30 minutes late that Thursday night. The large crowd gave him a oneminute standing ovation.

But even here, surrounded by thousands who supported him, Nixon could not escape the protests.

A group described as being everything from “a small band of hecklers” to 350-400 people, most of them sitting in the east stands of the stadium around the 20-yard line closest to the north end zone, frequently interrupted Nixon’s speech, many holding signs that read “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” The protestors also reportedly chanted “Push ’em back, push ’em back” and “1-2-3-4, we don’t want Nixon’s war!”

UT’s Daily Beacon reported the next day that singer Ethel Waters angered the protesters when she referred to Nixon as “my blessed child.” After they let out an audible jeer, Waters said, “Now you children listen to Mama. If my arms were long enough, I’d reach out and smack ya, but I’d love you and hug you, too.”

Nixon spoke for 14 minutes. He said that if America was going to have peace, it would have to return to “those

great spiritual sources.”

“I know there are things about America that are wrong,” Nixon told the crowd. “But I also know this: that this is a country where a young person knows that there is a peaceful way he can change what he doesn’t like about America.”

Nine people were arrested that night. All were charged with disrupting a religious service. Some were charged with assaulting a police officer. At least three were UT students and one was identified by both the Daily Beacon and Knoxville Journal as Carroll Bible, 25, who had been arrested in the Jan. 15 incident on campus and was described by the Journal as a “hippy leader” who was not enrolled as a student at the time of the Crusade.

The Journal was blunt about the protests in an editorial published the day after Nixon’s visit.

“The unspeakable nastiness of a handful of undisciplined brats seemed only to intensify the commitment of the pro-Nixon elements and to alienate even more of the UT students,” it read, indicative of the newspaper’s decidedly partisan Republican tone at the time. (The newspaper’s front page declared “This is Nixon Country” the day after his visit.)

Controversial UT history professor Dr. Richard Marius was no less blunt with his point of view.

“Graham is still back in the days when religion, as Marx said, was just an opiate of the people,” Marius was quoted in the Daily Beacon as saying. “It would do us no good to disrupt (the Crusade) because the people would beat us up.”

(Ironically, Marius held a degree in divinity and would

spend much of his adult life studying the Protestant Reformation.)

Religious studies professor Dr. Charles Reynolds, according to the Beacon’s Rob Christensen, had suggested the protesting students “should go and kneel on the turf and say a prayer for peace” when Graham delivered the altar call.

“This plan was not executed at the Crusade.”

UT president Dr. Andy Holt said he was “shocked and embarrassed” by the protests and vowed to cooperate with police. Police photographers had roamed the stadium with orders to take pictures of any riotous demonstrators. Knoxville Mayor Leonard Rogers later said, “Those who can be identified will be prosecuted for disturbing public worship.”

In a 2006 News Sentinel column about the Crusade, Don Ferguson noted that 43 people were ultimately arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and disruption of a religious service On Friday, May 29, the Journal declared that Nixon could now go about his duties “with the knowledge that America’s heartland is with him.”

Nixon, for his part, was “elated over his reception Thursday night at the Billy Graham Crusade in Neyland Stadium,” reported Guy L. Smith IV on the front page after talking with Nixon press secretary Ron Ziegler in San Clemente.

If you believe Bob Haldeman, Nixon’s elation didn’t last long.

genius and they, together, have replaced several moving parts. Do you think the young Gators fear the Volunteers? In Gainesville?

Georgia, LSU, Alabama, South Carolina and Arkansas are undoubtedly counting Tennessee as a stepping stone along their path to Atlanta, big bowl games and another national championship for somebody.

Surely Vanderbilt is not so cocky. Up to now, the Commodores haven’t done anything except talk. They are talking boldly. The new coach is running a fever.

Kentucky is no more than even with Tennessee in talent but the Wildcats have convinced each other that their time will eventually come.

Indeed, history suggests nobody lives forever and all good things will sometime come to an end. I believe the blues believe the streak will finally expire on Nov. 26 in Lexington. It will be sad, whenever it happens, but I would not be shocked.

To get six victories, the Volunteers must pick up the four obvious and whip Vandy and Kentucky. To get seven, they must upset somebody, Florida or Georgia being the best bets.

Both would make eight. Tigers and Gamecocks in Knoxville are longer shots.

Winning in Tuscaloosa and Fayetteville would be simply wonderful. Derek Dooley for coach of the year. Tyler Bray automatic All-American. The fullback or somebody in the offensive line qualifies for the Jacobs blocking trophy.

The running game gains thousands of yards. Youthful linebackers make shocking progress. A Volunteer actually flourishes as punt returner.

There are no injuries, no interceptions, no fumbles – and only 11 on the field at any given time. All games are sellouts!

Parking is free! Concession prices are cut in half!

Oops. Sorry about that. Got carried away. Could be heat stroke. Thank you for caring.

I can see more clearly now.

I believe Tennessee football is headed in the correct direction. I lack the wisdom to determine how long it will take to arrive at the necessary destination. So much really does depend on evaluations and recruiting – and luck.

As for now, I think the offense will be moderately improved and a bit better balanced. I do not expect the buoyant Bray to be repressed by technical difficulties.

Huddle administration? Are you kidding me, throw the football!

Experience in the blocking front should add a first down or two but I do not foresee it man-handling strong defenses. Likewise, I don’t expect us to get pushed around as often.

Young receivers have ability. Check back later to assess smarts. New runners Marlin Lane and Tom Smith project as plusses. Slipping Rajion Neal into the slot is intriguing.

It is almost enough to make you think old line coach Jim Chaney is getting creative.

I am not over-confident about defense. The secondary is better. There are actually some spare parts. The team is thin at tackle and end. Daniel Hood may become a lifesaver.

Tennessee may or may not be able to wrest the ball from tough foes.

The largest concern is youth and uncertainty at linebacker.

Peter Sirmon faces a serious coaching challenge. He is surrounded by green. Great freshmen can beat bad opponents but …well, we’ll see whether spring practice matters.

The kicking game, a giant segment of championship football, remains a mysterious piece of the Tennessee puzzle. Maybe yes, maybe later. Maybe not at all.

You need to know that in the good old days, Robert R. Neyland spent all of February coaching kickers – before the beginning of spring practice.

Alas and alas, these are not the good old days. Not yet.

Nixon in Knoxville PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

T

hat last Watergate summer ended 37 years ago this month, the hot August Washington air stained with the paradoxical sadness and sleaze that marked much of the Nixon years.

One-time White House chief of staff H.R. “Bob” Haldeman later wrote that he believes the seeds for Richard Nixon’s downfall that culminated with the president’s August 1974 resignation were planted in May 1970. It happened in the wake of Nixon’s decision to invade Cambodia and the resulting paranoia from press leaks and student demonstrations that followed in the days after the military action and the May 4 killing of four students by national guardsmen at Kent State University.

Late that month Nixon made his first visit to a college campus in more than a year. He came to Knoxville as the guest of honor on Youth Night (May 28), during the 10-day East Tennessee Billy Graham Crusade at Neyland Stadium.

The decision to attend appears to have been an impromptu one. On Tuesday, May 26, the White House announced it as an uncertain possibility. The Knoxville Journal didn’t confirm it until the morning of the visit.

Nixon was indeed making a brief stopover in Knoxville to attend the Crusade be-

fore heading to the Western White House at San Clemente, Calif., for Memorial Day weekend. U.S. Rep. John Duncan Sr. told the Knoxville News Sentinel he had invited Nixon to attend the Crusade “because of his close friendship” with Graham.

Graham told News Sentinel reporters Nixon’s appearance was not political in nature, according to an unsigned story that ran the day of Nixon’s visit.

Last look before results get in the way TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

T

his is the last crystal-clear look at Tennessee football before results cloud the view.

At more than one position, we are about to discover whether talent or experience is more important. If talent wins and freshmen play, a recruiting we will go! Trying to be fair, balanced and objective, what we think we see overall is a mixture of optimism and watch-out caution. Seven and five would be acceptable. Eight and four would be a good season, considering how far expectations have been beaten down.

Anything better would be cause for celebration, contract extension and more money spread around, with or without an athletic director. No way to dress up six-six and

pretend it is progress.

Reality begins to set in when we stare at the week-byweek schedule. You don’t need me to tell you that this team, any Tennessee team worthy of orange shirts that doesn’t get lost on the Vol Walk, will defeat Montana, Cincinnati, Buffalo and Middle Tennessee State at Neyland Stadium, morning, noon or night kickoff.

Well, the Bearcats most times.

At least seven and maybe all eight Southeastern Conference foes undoubtedly believe they are better than Tennessee. Choose your arguments carefully.

Yet statistics show the softness in real estate construction as just 13 water meters were set in July and eight sewer connections inspected. HPUD treated 250.8 million gallons of water and 204.3 million gallons of waste water for the month.

The board approved a Rural Development loan for $1.566 million to replace the galvanized line on Brushy Valley Road.

The board also approved a loan from the State Revolving Loan Fund for $600,000 to address cost overruns in the project to increase the main water line on Maynardville Pike from Union County into Halls. Consulting Engineer Robert Campbell said the overruns resulted from a decision to upgrade connections with arterial lines now, rather than come back later for the upgrade.

HPUD will be reimbursed by the Tennessee Department of Transportation for a portion of the project.

The board declared leftover furniture and equipment from the old headquarters as surplus and asked Cardwell to sell it at auction.

Among payments approved were: $233,115 to Morgan Contracting Inc. for the Willow Fork Interceptor project; $220,997 to Merkel Brothers for work on the SR33 project; and $119,548 to Mike Smith Pump Service LLC for work on the Sharp’s Chapel waterline extension project.

The next HPUD board meeting is 1:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, at the HPUD headquarters.

Teacher wins classroom makeover Annoor Academy 4th grade teacher Amber Hodge revealed her $10,000 classroom makeover last week.

Hodge was one of five teachers across the country who received the makeover from Honeywell, a technology and manufacturing company. Applicants incorporated the four safety rules into a lesson and submitted the plan to the sponsor. Hodge and her class made photostories of their uses of the rules on a trip to Dollywood.

With the winnings, Hodge purchased an iPad for every student in her classroom and a SmartBoard to use in her lessons this year. “I never thought I would win,”

Panther pep rally Food City in the Powell Center will sponsor a parking lot pep rally at 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25, with cheerleaders, football team, pep band, dance team, flag football cheerleaders, vendors and more.

All are invited.

It occurred to me the other day that, although I fancy myself a journalist, I’ve never directly interviewed the subject of this column, namely my 3-year-old Daniel. I’ve written things he’s said, but those have all been in the course of daily life.

So, now that the miracle of speech has created more give and take between us, I figured I’d ask Daniel some questions and write down the answers.

I started with an explanation. “Mommy writes stories about Daniel to go in the newspaper, and lots of people read them. I want to ask you some questions and write down your answers.”

I started simply. Daniel said his favorite color is orange. Why? “Because of orange juice.”

His favorite story is Thomas the Train, also his favorite toy. Favorite food: pasta. Favorite treat: Scooby Doo gummy snacks.

Who are his friends? Alex, Henry and Lucas.

I asked him to tell me about his family, and he replied, “Aunt Erin lets me play with her clock.”

He means that my sister has an iPad with a nifty clock application that Daniel likes to play with.

What is Daniel’s favorite place to go? “To see the shiny knights. The shiny knights have swords, and they fight all the people.”

This one requires some explanation, too.

Aunt Erin, mentioned above, is in the Society for Creative Anachronism, aka people who dress up in Medieval garb and learn to fight and craft like people of yore.

We took Daniel to an SCA event this summer, and he was entranced with what

Shannon Carey

moms101 he called “shiny knights.” I don’t think he noticed that the “swords” were covered in foam rubber.

Where else does he like to go? “The zoo to see all the animals.”

What animal is his favorite? “The elephants because they’re big, and they play in the green water.”

What are you scared of?

“The yellow bear.”

The yellow bear is Daniel’s imaginary nemesis.

From what I’ve been able to glean, the yellow bear is like Pooh Bear, but he’s tall and has long claws. I can’t recall that Daniel has ever really been afraid of the yellow bear, but sometimes he pretends to hide from the yellow bear, always with a grin on his face.

What’s his favorite game?

“Playing lightsabers with Mommy and Papa.” Apparently the Force is strong with this one.

I think parents are so used to telling little ones what’s what that we forget to ask their opinions. Before I started asking questions, I had no idea that Daniel even had a favorite color. I didn’t know that one trip to the SCA had made such a big impression on him, bigger even than multiple trips to the zoo.

From now on, I’m definitely going to ask more and tell less.
