Businesses boost CTE Career training available to all
CTE at Powell
By Greg Householder Remember the old high school dilemma: vocation education versus college prep? Today’s students can have both. Career and Technical Education (CTE) is now available to every Knox County high school student. And under the leadership of Don Lawson, the program is evolving new offerings with a business support system that makes the courses relevant to today’s workplace. Last week, Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre joined the celebration as Home Depot and O.G. Hughes and Sons presented Knox County with $15,000 worth of tools (from Home Depot) and $7,500 in onboard tool storage (compliments of O.G. Hughes and Sons) for the CTE jobsite truck.

The CTE students graduate at a rate of 92 percent – better than the systemwide average of almost 87 percent. The newly-stocked truck reflects the diversity of the program these days. The Ford F350 Super Duty was purchased by the school system as a wreck. The kids in the auto repair and auto body classes fi xed it. The students in the graphics classes designed and created the decals. Lawson said the truck will be shared among all CTE programs and students will benefit from the latest tools. Lawson said 70 percent of Knox County high school students take three or more CTE courses and 90 percent take at least one course. The CTE students graduate at a rate of 92 percent – better than the systemwide average of almost 87 percent.

Fed bucks feed county government

The Shopper-News is now on Facebook!
For fiscal year 2011, Knox County’s budget topped $647 million. According to the county’s chief financial officer, the federal government supplied about 8.5 percent of that amount. John Troyer says the federal contribution to the county last fiscal year was about $55 million, with roughly $41 million going to schools and another $14 million dollars spread around various county departments. With budget-cutting running at a fever pitch in Washington, what do county residents stand to lose if the federal well runs dry? Grant Rosenberg heads Community Development for the county. Rosenberg’s department funds local grant programs through two sources of federal money, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). HUD funds were reduced by 12 percent this

program year, and CDBG were cut more than 16 percent. Rosenberg anticipates more cuts next year in the range of 10-15 percent. The federal money funds a laundry list of programs and services, including money for renovating or building housing for seniors and low to moderate income families. Currently, Rosenberg says, money has been set aside to replace a roof at the YWCA and renovate the Pleasant Tree apartments managed by Child and Family Tennessee. Other recipients include the Volunteer Ministry Center dental clinic, the Helen Ross McNabb Center and the Public Defender Community Law Office. Rosenberg notes that the housing programs provide an additional benefit. When the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee contracts for construction services, jobs are created or maintained.
Continuing cuts in federal funds will be felt across the board, but arguably hit housing hardest. “It limits affordable housing for seniors,” Rosenberg says, just as the baby boomer generation is hitting retirement age. The school budget is already strained, and the future looks grim enough without additional cuts in federal funds. The current budget includes a one-time boost of $8 million from the Education Jobs Program. The money primarily is used to fund teacher salaries and benefits. According to the line item detail in the school budget, $6.8 million of those funds are directly tied to teacher compensation. To maintain the same level of instruction next year would require an 8-cent property tax increase. The Knox County Health Department received nearly half of the $14 million disbursed to the “rest” of the county apart from schools.
Dr. Martha Buchanan manages a $24 million budget, and federal dollars supply about 25 percent of the department’s operating costs. Federal money goes to programs for “everything from TB to STDs to immunizations,” Buchanan says, but she expresses confidence in her department’s ability to carry on even if the spigot is turned off tomorrow. “We’ve got a great team at the health department,” she says, and it may need to “work smarter.” “Fortunately, we’ve had some ‘heads ups’ from our state partners (about possible cuts),” Buchanan adds, and if necessary the department will reorganize and restructure. Every department head in Knox County may not share Buchanan’s confidence, but her forward thinking outlook is a must. Federal funding of state and local programs is in a downward spiral and the bottom is nowhere in sight.

Knox North Lions meet the PHS Dreams Foundation
One of the really cool things about what I do is that I often have the opportunity to get various groups together. That happened last week when Powell High School Dreams Foundation president Seth Dunaway spoke to
the Knox North Lions Club. As soon as I introduced Seth, Cindy Teague asked the obvious question – “Are you? …” “Yes, Vicki Dunaway was my mom,” is Seth’s boilerplate answer to anyone from Powell who learns his last name. Seth’s mom was the principal at Powell High School when she passed away at age 52 in June 2001. “It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years,” Seth said. Seth is reaching out to community groups to help meet the foundation’s goal of raising $30,000. Seth said $10,000 will support teacher continuing education with $15,000 used for classroom support. Student incentives will account for the remaining $5,000. The foundation got off to a fast start under the leadership of founding president Tony Buhl. The foundation organized itself – complete with all the paperwork to become an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) organization. It also funded such things as an iPod class, improvements to the faculty workroom and several classroom support projects. Under Seth’s leadership, the foundation is setting itself up to sustain the fundraising efforts through the years. Hence, Seth’s visit to the Knox North Lions where he explained what the founda-

Lots happening in Heiskell
My pal Janice White is a busy gal these days. As one of the key players in the Heiskell Community Center, Janice has her fingers in lots of pies: the Heiskell senior program, planning fundraisers for the center, just to name a couple. Last Thursday, I arrived at my usual time for the seniors program and could not find a parking place. Turns out almost 90 folks attended. I ended up parking my car in a place I wasn’t supposed to and had

to ultimately move it. That was a first. It just goes to show how the senior program has grown. What’s next? A traffic cop and maybe a traffic signal at the intersection? County Commissioner R. Larry Smith sponsored the meal of salad and spaghetti with sauce from Louis’ in Fountain City. Janice listed the announcements – Thursday was the last day to pay for the October trip to Chattanooga and river cruise. This Saturday, Sept. 17, the community center will be having a sock hop from 5-8 p.m. This is a really fun event – I and my then bride-to-be went last year and actually did a little rug-cutting ourselves. Plan on doing it again this year, God willing and the creek don’t rise. Cost for the sock hop is $5 per person and the proceeds support the programs of the Community Center which, by the way, does not receive one thin dime from the county. It is totally dependent on funds it raises, grants it can wrangle, and pure and simple donations. There will be a 1950s-themed diner with hot dogs, Petros and sundaes for sale. An exercise program on Wednesday mornings is led by Jenny Mason from Ageless Grace (who was also one of the co-guest speakers last Thursday). Each session is 9:30 a.m. Wednesday and the cost is $5 per session but your first session is free. Liz Jett, a self-described “non-morning person” says it’s a great program so it must be. Ageless Grace seeks to keep participants supple

Also on hand last Thursday at the Heiskell seniors was Rachel Byrge. Rachel can actually go into a store, “purchase” a cart full of stuff and actually walk out with more money than she walked in with. I kid you not. Rachel told the seniors about how she
uses coupons, store sales and store rewards to save a boatload of cash. One example she gave was of catching a bar of Safeguard soap on sale for 88 cents, having a coupon for $1 for it and pocketing 12 cents in change from the transaction. So there is lot going on in Heiskell. Maybe you should check it out sometime.

Padgett pitches to Rogero crowd
It’s commission time in Tennessee! *Satire alert Mike Hammond is a triple-threat performer for the 11-member Knox County Commission squad: captain, quarterback and play-by-play announcer. His teammates recently chose him to captain the squad for a second consecutive year, and we caught up with him for a rundown on the players and the team’s prospects for this season. S-N: Mike, you’ve got a veteran squad. What’s the outlook for this season? MH: We’re solid at just about every position. I’m more comfortable with the pro-style meetings we’ve been running, and if everyone stays healthy we should have a winning record. S-N: What about the hurry-up offense? Some of commission’s most loyal fans, attorneys John King and Arthur Seymour Jr. to name just two, have complained that the fiveminute rule is too strict. MH: Well, we can’t please everybody, and head referee Joe Jarret is quick to assess a delay of game penalty. S-N: Mike, we know you have a solid arm. How about some of the other skill positions? MH: At fullback we have Jeff Ownby, a sturdy athlete who only runs straight ahead. Jeff is coming off minor tonsil surgery, but he’s in good condition. Tony Norman at tailback runs downhill as well as anyone we’ve ever had at that position, and Brad Anders at wide receiver is always a threat to go long. S-N: Ed Shouse is another veteran player, Mike. Where does he fit in the scheme? MH: Ed is versatile enough to play just about anywhere. He’s most comfortable going over the middle to haul in a pass.
While the Democratic Women of Knoxville – a group that meets monthly to eat lunch and talk politics and plan charitable projects – can’t be considered the belly of the beast, it’s no secret that a heavy majority of these politically involved women are flat-out amped by the prospect of Madeline Rogero becoming this city’s first woman mayor.
Betty Bean
S-N: We hear that Dave Wright is designing the team’s new uniforms. MH: Ha, ha! Yes, Dave does have a nice sartorial touch, but he’s a valuable player, as well. I’d like to see Dave run more north to south instead of east to east, but he has potential. S-N: Team speed is always a concern, Mike. How are you fixed in that area? MH: R. Larry Smith, Amy Broyles and Sam McKenzie give us plenty of speed and quickness. Larry’s footwork can bewilder fans and defenders, and Amy and Sam developed speed and toughness working out in the semipro city leagues. S-N: And up front? MH: Richard Briggs and Mike Brown anchor the line for us. Richard also doubles as team trainer. S-N: Mike, it seems like everyone from Texas to Maine is talking about expansion. What’s your take? MH: That’s a tough one. We shed eight members a couple of years ago because of declining attendance and mounting operating expenses. I know some fans would like to see us return to the 19-member teams, but the risk of injury
rises as you add players. I don’t know that the current team could adjust to the rough play of a “Lumpy” Lambert or a Scott Moore. S-N: You might try a draft. Word is that Ivan Harmon and Mark Padgett will soon declare free-agent status. MH: And end up with unlucky 13? No thanks! S-N: Thanks for your time, Mike. MH: Always a pleasure. Need season tickets? Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@ mindspring.com.
So Mark Padgett, the other Democrat in this nonpartisan city race, was taking a bit of a risk when he made an appearance at the club’s September meeting on the eve of early voting. But the audience was perfectly polite and pleasant, and so was Padgett, who is believed to be running second or third in a three-way battle with Rogero and Ivan Harmon, and is poised to unleash a tsunami of media on the voting public. A strong second-place finish could deny frontrunner Rogero a majority and force a runoff. He did betray just a hint of trepidation when Emma Jean Huddleston, rocking a Madeline for Mayor maroon T-shirt, stuck her hand up in the air and interrupted his well-worn, rapid-fire campaign pitch (“grew up a poor white child in Lonsdale,” “$5,000 and a borrowed laptop,” “made a payroll,” “created jobs,” “can sit across the table from a world-class CEO”) with a question. She wasn’t exactly being mean, but her voice had a bit of an edge. Her question

Mayoral candidate Mark Padgett with communications director Laura Braden. Photo by B. Bean was pointed, and she sounded exactly like the schoolmarm she used to be before she retired: “I want to know more about your company. How many people do you employ, and what do they make?” This is a touchy campaign topic with Padgett, who is 33 and until this year has been known primarily as the son of former Knox County Clerk Mike Padgett. He’s running on the strength of his business acumen and took quite a hit a couple of months ago when he disclosed under duress that his 2010 business income was a little south of $30,000. He didn’t give Huddleston the hard numbers she requested, but he told her that, “We now use 10 people to run my business,” and that he pays full-time employees between $60,000 and $65,000 a year and contractors $50 to $150 per hour. He said he has gone to great lengths to make sure that his employees have a good benefits package, which includes a strong health insurance policy. He also said that running for mayor hasn’t been good for business. “I’ve been pretty focused on this campaign. Fortunately, I have a great COO that takes care of operations. We’ve kind of just maintained during this election.” And he said that he has never said that the company is anything but a small business (emphasis on small). “I’m proud of every one of those jobs I’ve created.” Padgett probably didn’t sway any votes, but his relentlessly upbeat sales pitch was well received and unlikely to shut any doors on him in the future.

Rebuked and yet ... Sparks flew on “Tennessee This Week” on WATE-TV yesterday. Host Gene Patterson saw Becky Duncan Massey fire back on Marilyn Roddy’s misrepresentation of Massey’s position on the right-to-life campaign endorsement. In a press release and subsequent campaign literature, Roddy claimed the Tennessee Right-to-Life organization had given her a “100 percent pro-life rating” and had “rebuked” Massey’s positions. Almost immediately the Political Action Committee of TRL e-mailed a release denying an endorsement. “In the special election to fill (Jamie) Woodson’s seat ... (TRL) has not made any endorsement. We express our appreciation for the commitment of each candidate to public service and encourage each pro-life voter to carefully consider the public statements, records and positions of the candidates in an effort to elect the most effective advocate for the cause of life.” Meanwhile, a woman who had sponsored an event for Roddy expressed “disappointment” that Roddy had jumped so strongly on the pro-life issue. “I thought she was pro-choice.” Roddy gained the Metro

Fall’s big family NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier
T

alk about big families. If you were one of the Asteraceae, all the flowers in the aster family, you would have to rent a really big hall for your family reunion. Besides the mostly tropical orchid family, the asters are the largest family of plants in the world, containing more than 12,000 species. That’s a lot of cousins! There are about 320 species in the aster family in Tennessee, 181 of them found in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. And still counting. A lot of these flowers are familiar to most of us. There are the various asters themselves. Then there are the coneflowers, the daisies, the black-eyed Susans, the blue chickory alongside the roads, the thistles in our fields. Goldenrod, ragweed and dandelions are asters all. There are aster-family flowers blooming all season long, but they really show themselves in late summer into fall. A quick walk through the back field recently revealed Joe-Pye weed, New York ironweed, brown-eyed Susans in profusion. Yarrow is still blooming; it is in the aster family. Lookalike Queen Anne’s lace is not. It’s in the parsley family. Typical aster flowers are like daisies, a round, raised center with petals all around it. But wouldn’t you know it? There’s a lot more to the story. Actually, what we refer to as a flower is a whole composition, made up of lots of tiny flowers, or florets, as they’re called. The botanists refer to this type of flower as a “composite.” The center part of these flowers, the yellow part in the daisy and the black part in the Susan, are made up of dozens of tiny individual flowers. Look at one with a magnifying glass. These are called disc flowers. And those things we
refer to as petals are actually, each one, a flower, called ray flowers. There are familiar flowers in this big family that have only disc flowers. One good example of these is the thistles. Check them out. No petals there. Others have only ray flowers. Dandelions fall into this group, nice bright yellow petals, but not a sign of a daisy-like center. The blue roadside chickory, also known as Blue Sailors, are another example of rayonly flowers. Each blue flower lasts only one day; the roots of chickory are roasted and brewed into coffee. In fact, a large percentage of the Asteraceae have been used for various medicinal properties. As for the asters themselves, we have short ones, tall ones, varieties with a few flowers and varieties with dozens per stalk. Most of them are in colors from white on through pale lavender to deep purple. The tall, stately, intensely purple New England asters stand as much as 10 feet tall and bear as many as 50 blossoms. They are an important late-season food for the Monarch butterflies as they migrate toward their wintering grounds in Mexico. There are several smaller white asters, too. They look like tiny daisies, many to a Bull thistle stem. The spring ones are called Robin’s plantain; the fall ones are very similar, and are called Daisy fleabane. And, there are many more, enough to make even the botanists scratch their heads at times. There are lots of black-eyed Susans out now, sun-tanned versions of the white daisies. Various species of native bees, small wasps, and butterflies are busily feeding on their nectar, as they are doing with
Black-eyed Susans all the flowers now. Nectar is harder to come by now than it was in May. Then there are the other tall guys. The New York ironweed is the most purple of the purples. Tall, with zillions of tiny, aster-like flowers, they are humming with all sorts of little bugs and butterflies. And taller still, standing in fields and along moist roadsides, is the feathery, pale lavender JoePye weed, also called Queen of the Meadow. It is a frequent host to many species of butterflies and a good place to hang out in order to photograph them. Its name is said to come from a person named Joe Pye, an American Indian who was an itinerant herb doctor and who used the JoePye weed in various preparations for a number of ailments. Two more of our family will be blooming now: goldenrod and ragweed. But, my friends, only one of them causes your hay fever and sinus distress. There are more than
25 species of goldenrod in our area. They are all yellow but one; it is white, and called silverrod. Every one of the goldenrods produces heavy, sticky pollen grains that are carried around by bees and other insects. We have three species of ragweed around here. They all have very light, dust-like pollen that is designed to be spread by the wind. And ragweed pollen has substances on its surface that activate our allergic responses, hay fever. It accounts for more than 90 percent of fall hay fever symptoms in North America. Goldenrod is found guilty by association. It blooms at the same time as ragweed. I remember being totally unable to convince my Momma that she wasn’t deathly allergic to goldenrod. Those Asteraceae are an interesting and colorful bunch. You’ve probably known some large family like that, maybe your own. These are out there in late summer and fall for us to see and enjoy. You should meet some of them and get to know the family better.

Real estate market gets August bump The last full month of summer was a relatively good one for property sales in Knox County. The month that ended Aug. 31 produced 781 land transfers in the county, representing a total property value of $159.7 million. This data bested the July output by nearly 150 transactions and more than $12 million. There were also 82 more property transfers last month than in August of 2010. Last year 699 parcels changed hands during August, reaching a value of $138.9 million. August has historically been a strong month for construction and property sales. There was also a notable increase in activity for the local lending markets. For
Quality time together.

realestatereport the month, about $228 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to just $184 million during July. Although the upswing may be cause for optimism, these numbers still lag painfully behind the mortgage activity of 2010. Last August saw $352 million in real estate lending. On the commercial front, the largest transfer of the month was a sale between McKibbon Hotel Group and
Apple Ten SPE Knoxville. The property located on North Peters Road sold for just under $7 million. The financing for the sale was also among the largest mortgage transactions of the month, also coming in at around $7 million. This week our nation marked the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. But it is not the cowardly acts of terrorism which we commemorate, but the brave and heroic response of those Americans so deeply touched by the events. Many first responders lost their lives on that tragic day. We should all be grateful to these brave individuals who daily put themselves in harm’s way for the benefit of others.

A solitary man In that day also he shall come even to thee … from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river … (Micah 7:12 KJV) It is a habit of mine: making up stories to go with interesting people I see. I watch a young couple over dinner and try to figure out how long they have been dating. I see an older couple holding hands, and I imagine what their hands looked like when they placed those gold bands on one another’s fingers. But there is one man who haunts me. It has been 40 years, and though I can still see his face, I have made up no story for him. None at all. I was on a touring boat sailing north on the Rhine between Mainz and Bonn. The boat was a double-decker, and I, wanting to see every last tree and castle and flower, was on the top deck. It was a sunny day in summer, but the wind and water

conspired to make it cooler than I expected. Most of the folks on the boat were tourists, talking in small groups, cameras at the ready. My job was to chaperone the crew of university students who were laughing and pointing at the sights and enjoying each other’s company as much as the scenery. But there was one small man sitting on the far side of the boat, alone and very still. He could have been anywhere from 55 to 75. His

face was weathered, and his hair, silvery. His black sport coat, worn thin and shiny, was little protection from the wind. With one hand, he clutched its lapels together at his throat. He looked frail, and I worried that he was cold. He had no companion, and I was certain he was not a tourist. He didn’t have a camera, nor did he throw more than desultory glances at the passing scenery. He didn’t even turn his head when the tour guide pointed out the Lorelei, the great cliff where legendary sirens sang sailors to their doom. He seemed to be deep in thought, in a world of his own. I watched him, between my own photographic forays from one side of the boat to the other. I wondered if he was sad, or lonely. I wondered where he was going, and why he chose a tourist boat as his mode of transportation. I wondered what he – in his stillness – thought of this gaggle of energetic and animated

At the very least, I wanted a picture of him and finally managed a profile shot as he (unaware of my camera) gazed out over the water. Years and years later, I moved from one house to another and forgot to go into the attic to retrieve my European photos. His image is forever lost to me, but I can still see his face, and that hand clutching his coat for warmth still makes me sad when I think of him. I will never know what his story was, but I am certain he had one, just as we all do.

A.J. Albers’ Civil War adventure
E
ast Tennessee casualties of the Civil War, you might say, also included the departure of prominent business owners, such as David H. Cummings, Abner Gates Jackson, Dr. J.G.M. Ramsey, William G. Swan, Campbell Wallace and many others, who relocated to Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Memphis, New Orleans or Shreveport and elsewhere in the Deep South because of their Southern sympathies during the war. Some returned a few years after the war but some did not. Offsetting that loss was the gain of several former Union soldiers and sailors who chose to relocate in the South after the war. Andrew J. Albers, Hiram S. Chamberlain and William W. Woodruff were among those who contributed much to the area’s progress and cultural development. Andrew Jackson “A.J.” Albers was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 19, 1844, the son of Dr. William and Emma Seeman Albers. William Albers, M.D., a native of Cologne, Germany, helped found the Ohio Medical College in Cincinnati. A.J. graduated from the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy in 1859 and began practicing his profession there. Early in the Civil War (August 1861), at only 17 years of age, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a pharmacist’s mate and served on gunboats on the Mississippi River and

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 • A-11
Two trips to Florida TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West Those who follow college football occasionally encounter unfriendly places. Beyond that is another level called hostile environments. Death Valley comes to mind. Finally, there is loud, unfriendly, hostile Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field. Steve Spurrier reduced the verbiage and named it “The Swamp.” He said a swamp is a hot and sticky place that can be dangerous.
“Generally speaking, only Gators get out alive.” Stadium design traps noise and prevents even a hint of a breeze. Fanatics are a factor. How ugly are fans? Well, Vickie Fulmer once weathered a profanity attack because her husband was a prominent coach. A deranged villain tried to spit into Tennessee water coolers. The late, great George Cafego, slow exiting, caught a cup of liquid
dropped by a Florida fan. George, tilting toward politeness, said it was probably whiskey. The Swamp is a bad place because, for years and years, Florida has had good players. Some may have been mean-spirited. Ready or not, into this challenge go the nice, sweet, youthful Volunteers. Big prize. Tough task. Children should cover their ears.
Sept. 14, at Second United Methodist Church, 1524 Western Ave. The video “TAMASSEE-DAR School: The Place of the Sunlight of God” will be shown. There will also be a planning session for the new year. Refreshments will be served. Everyone is invited.
17, at Redeemer Church, 1642 Highland Ave. Admission is $20. To register, visit www. knoxvillewritersguild.org. Info: Email Terry Shaw at tshaw05@comcast.net.
Two trips to Florida live in infamy. The worst loss of Phillip Fulmer’s coaching career happened in Gainesville four years ago. It was 59-20. It was marked by Tennessee’s inability to run the football, as in 37 yards on 22 attempts. I seem to remember a sizable gap between Tennessee tacklers and Gators scampering around with the football. There wasn’t much resistance on the perimeter or dependable coverage deep. Eleven plays netted Florida 296 yards. Tim Tebow had completions of 25, 30, 49, 48, 20 and 44. Young Eric Berry was among those burned. Three times. The Gators gained many additional yards in more conventional ways.
If you were there, you won’t forget the thirdquarter fumble returned for a touchdown. Erik Ainge and Arian Foster failed to mesh on a handoff. It was discouraging. The deficit was only eight at the time. Some awful things happened after that. There was a bad trip in 1995. It ended 62-37. Believe it or not, this was a comeback romp. Tennessee led 30-14 in the second quarter. What transpired after that remains a mystery. It was one heck of a Florida rally or a total Tennessee collapse. Peyton Manning remembers whatever it was happened fast. Personas changed at intermission. One team came back blazing. The other was flat. Hitting seemed one-sided.
Joey Kent got knocked out and needed a dozen stitches. Two Jay Graham turnovers and a couple of tipped passes turned into a giant snowball. Defense disappeared. Danny Wuerffel passes generated 381 yards and six touchdowns. Ike Hilliard caught four. Somebody from Knoxville said it was embarrassing. Do not totally blame that disaster on the Swamp, heat, noise, rude fans or great Gators. There had to be other forces at work. Florida’s 62 points were historic, most against UT since 1893. OK, if you really must know, Duke once scored 70. Before and after that Florida trip, 1995 Tennessee was undefeated. The record was 11-1. Go figure. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.
