Powell Playhouse is two-for-two on hits

How a tragedy became a blessing See Jake Mabe’s story on page A-3
The rainy weather didn’t dampen either the enthusiasm or the number of the crowd last Thursday as the Powell Playhouse opened a fourperformance run of “The Night is My Enemy” by Fred Carmichael. The play, set in 1900 Britain at the English coast home of Dr. Ora Fontaine and his wife, Hester, and their ward, Roane Shepperly, featured moments of comedy and suspense. There has been a mysterious accident of a woman with a club foot by the name of Clara who fell to her death from the cliff near the Fontaine home. Inspector Rodney Church of Scotland Yard is sent from London to investigate. He determines that Clara’s death was no accident but murder. Meanwhile a young lawyer, Gerald Clayton, a relative of Hester Fontaine, visits before returning to London. He and Roane fall in love. Tommy, the half-wit son of Hubert and Margaret Biller of the household staff witnessed the murder of Clara and had found the killer’s watch at the scene. As he was going to fetch it to show Roane, he is stabbed in the back. As Roane is sitting in the Fontaine parlor alone on a stormy night, the killer sweeps in to throw something in the fireplace and almost kills Roane before others come back to the room. Roane notices something about a ring the killer had when he had his hands around her throat. The climax of the play is later that evening when the Fontaine’s maid,
Tessie, goes to the village to get Inspector Church. Hester has been given a powder by her physician husband and goes upstairs to sleep. Dr. Fontaine returns and it is revealed that he is the killer and that he felt that he was helping his victims because of their disabilities – Clara with her clubfoot, Tommy the halfwit and Roane for her blindness. Hester had not taken the powder after all and comes downstairs to confront her husband with his pistol. She allows him to escape just as Inspector Church and Tessie return and the implication is that he threw himself over the cliff. Elizabeth Attaway Eaker played Roane; Christy Rutherford was a show stealer in the role of Tessie; Jean Weeden was Margaret Biller; Hunter Long was Tommy; Pepper Boone was Hester Fontaine; Judy Morris got lots of laughs as Hester’s friend, Augusta Garvey; Devin Harvey was Gerald Clayton; Jeff Carter was Dr. Ora Fontaine; Ray Weeden was Hubert Biller; and Chuck Denney was Inspector Rodney Church. Brandon Evans understudied Tommy and Carly Johnson understudied Tessie. Josh Crutchfield understudied Gerald Clayton. The Powell Playhouse will present Christmas stories and book signing with Bill Landry at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, at the Jubilee Banquet Facility, venue for last week’s performances. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased by calling 947-7428 or 256-7428.

So it was fun to visit with the veterans in Bearden. Turns out one of them, Paul Sherbakoff, a Navy veteran, is the father of Lee Sherbakoff. Lee was a year ahead of me in ROTC at UT back in the day.

How Inky Johnson’s tragedy became his blessing By Jake Mabe After the injury that changed his life forever, Inky Johnson could have slammed the door on the rest of the world and few people would’ve blamed him. He’d worked hard to get a Division I football scholarship to UT, practicing late by the glow of the headlights of his mother’s car and getting up at 6:30 a.m. Saturdays to go running with his father. After getting to UT as a firstgeneration college student, he’d defied the odds to become a starter. His goal, his lifelong dream, was to get to the NFL, mostly to give his family a better life. All of it came crashing down in seconds, during a play with two minutes left in the Sept. 9, 2006, game against Air Force. Inky went to make a tackle, the kind he’d made hundreds of times before, and fell limp to the ground. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. Doctors didn’t know whether he’d make it.
Former UT football coach Phil Fulmer spoke at the banquet and heaped high praise on his former player Inky Johnson.
Former UT football player Inquoris “Inky” Johnson shakes hands and chats with folks following his keynote speech at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Team FCA fundraising banquet held last week at the Knoxville Marriott. Johnson suffered a nerve injury during the 2006 Air Force game that forced him to quit playing football.

Nerve damage meant he’d never play football again. And, yet, Inky said at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes TeamFCA fundraising banquet last week at the Knoxville Marriott, it’s all been a blessing, all part of what he sees as God’s plan for his life. “Every day I get up, open my eyes and take a breath, I thank God.” Inquoris “Inky” Johnson grew up in a two-bedroom house he shared with 13 family members near Atlanta, Ga. His high school, Alonzo A. Crim, was nicknamed “Crime High.” The dropout rate was higher than the graduation rate. And, yet, Inky had a loving family. And he had a dream to one day play in the National Football League. He parents transferred
him to Tucker High School to give him a better shot at making a Division I football program. Inky said no. He parents transferred him anyway. First football game at Tucker, he finds himself at the bottom of a pile, his ankle twisted by an opponent, ligaments torn, out for the season. So he asked to be transferred back to Crim. His junior year, first quarter of the first game, he broke his clavicle, out for the season again. His senior year, he decided to give up football and play hoops. His coach said no.
French vocalist to perform at Pellissippi Chloé Clerc, a native of France, will perform in concert at 7 p.m. Tu e s d a y, Nov. 8, in the Clayton Performing Arts Center on the Chloé Clerc Pel l i s sippi Campus, 10915 Hardin Valley Road. The concert is free and open to the public. Clerc has performed in her home country, as well as in Switzerland and India. She brings her musical stylings to the United States this year. On her website the singer’s music is described this way: “With an intimist pop style, an overflowing energy
that invites you to look at the good side of things rather than the bad, Chloé Clerc (belongs]) to the art of true French song.” After releasing her first album in 2005, Clerc was chosen as a 2006 finalist in a competition for young musical talents at the Paris Olympia. She then participated in a summer tour for radio station France Bleu Nord. The young singer also collaborated with songwriter Christian Vie on a show they called “Les Petits Miroirs.” Other musicians with whom she has worked include Lili Beaumont, Thierry Geoffroy, Jef Kino and BP Zoom. Clerc is founder of Chloé-Music, a production company. Info: 694-6400.
“How many 5-10 point guards do you see in the NBA?” Inky played football his senior year. UT’s head football coach at the time, Phillip Fulmer, came recruiting. While everybody else told Inky they liked his promise but weren’t sure if he’d make the grades, Fulmer told Inky he believed in him, that he knew he’d qualify and he’d see him in the summer. “That influence on me as a young man was priceless. I made it, all because that man took a chance on me.” During Media Day his freshman year, Inky says some reporter shoved a

Fountain of Youth
Millions of people around the world continue to fight for the ever elusive fountain of youth. We all continue to look for the magic pill or the magic diet that will take away the pounds and make us feel better. This is especially the case in springtime when people realize Dr. Wegener that warmer weather is coming and they want to achieve a flatter midsection or better looking legs. Along with the diets come millions of dollars spent annually on abdominal flattening gimmicks, most of which people stop using simply because they don’t work. Let’s face it, if it’s as simple as just exercising, every person in the gym would have a great six pack of abdominal muscles and all of the women would have flat tummies. If you look around the local gym you realize this is not the case. To get in shape and to flatten your midsection you must adhere to the five golden rules: Rule #1: You are what you eat. Rule #2: You are how you eat. Rule #3: You are when you eat.

mic in his face and jokingly asked whether he thought he’d see any playing time. Inky told him he’d become a starter, and he did. All the hard work, everything, seemed to be paying off by Inky’s junior year. Then came the Air Force game, the tackle, the injury, the nerve damage. He credits FCA’s UT campus director, James Mitchell, for his discipleship, for sharing the Word with Inky and his teammates. “Football is just a game. There’s a lot of life to be lived after football. I could see how God navigated the whole situation.”
29TH ANNUAL
THE 2011 CHRISTMAS
Rule #4: You are what you don’t excrete. Rule #5: You are the sum total of all your stressors. The first step to helping you lose weight forever includes eating no processed, all organic foods the way Mother Nature intended thousands of years ago. Four good rules of thumb to remember when you are thinking about eating or drinking something: If it wasn’t on the planet 10,000 years ago you don’t need it. If you can’t pronounce what’s on the label you don’t need it. As much as possible, eat only whole, unprocessed, unrefined, organic meat, produce or dairy. And finally, use supplements and good whole foods to enhance an organic diet, not to compensate for bad diet choices. In other words don’t spend an extra halfhour of exercise or spend a whole day of perfect eating so that you can make bad choices at a later meal.

He’s lived with constant pain for five years. He’s never played another second of football and never will. But now, he shares his story by speaking to young people. He’s written a book. He’s worked as the sports and health coordinator for JustLead, a program of the Emerald Youth Foundation, a local nonprofit inner-city ministry. And he still smiles and says God is good. “I consider the situation a blessing. It’s made me a better man, a better father, a better husband, a better friend, a better son.” His four young cousins, all inspired by Inky’s journey and Fulmer’s belief in him, went to college. “There are not enough adjectives in my vocabulary to describe this young man,” Fulmer said at the banquet. “He has the heart of a warrior.” ‘I don’t think about myself all the time anymore, I think about what I can do for somebody else,” Inky says. “Now you’re living.”

New life for an old school By Wendy Smith
Commission considers buttoning up County Commission is considering a pushbutton voting system. Instead of answering “yea” or “nay” as the clerk calls the roll, commissioners will press a button to record their votes. Among other advantages, the system should reduce the incidence of checking the direction of the wind by commissioners who don’t want to end up on the losing end of a vote. Over the years some commissioners (the departed Greg “Lumpy” Lambert immediately comes to mind) have completed more “passes” than Peyton Manning. We applaud commission for tiptoeing into the 21st century, but the system under consideration doesn’t quite go far enough. These additions to the bland yes or no choices surely will please commissioners as well as political junkies who watch or attend commission meetings. The Lifeline Button: We admit to shamelessly ripping off this idea from “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.” A commissioner torn by uncertainty pushes the lifeline button which connects to an advisor who counsels him on the correct vote. The advisor could be an attorney, a developer, a campaign manager, a polling service or – in rare instances – an ordinary resident of the commissioner’s district. A primitive form of the lifeline was utilized by several commissioners on Black Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2007. Cell phones and hallway briefings became de facto lifeline buttons. The Audience Participation Button: As if more evidence were needed, I offer as proof that I need to get a life my familiarity with “America’s Funniest Videos.” Mimicking the television show’s method for selecting the week’s winner, the hesitant commissioner would ask the audience its preference and would be bound by the result. (Note: A minimum of three audience members must be present. Members of the press are eligible to vote on calls for the question and motions to adjourn.) The “P” Button: No, this does not stand for “pass.” Commissioners, especially males, whose youth is in the rearview mirror will readily appreciate the utility of the “P” button. (Thanks to Commissioner Mike Brown for this suggestion.) The Stealth Button: This refinement may be very useful when a commissioner is voting contrary to his constituents’ wishes and busloads of those constituents have jammed the auditorium. The stealth button allows the commissioner to record a yes or no vote but does not reveal it on the screen visible to audience members until after the other votes are in. The stealth button should reduce or at least delay catcalls and derogatory comments aimed at commissioners who think they know what’s best no matter what their foolish constituents think. The King-Seymour Button: This button calls attorneys John King and Arthur Seymour Jr. to the podium before a commissioner votes. It should only be pressed after using the “P” button. In keeping with the spirit of these suggestions we’ve included a wireless device in this week’s edition of the Shopper-News that will enable readers to vote yes or no on each proposed refinement. Contact me if you need help, but keep the “P” button handy while waiting for a response. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.
It’s hard to imagine that the beautifully-renovated former school in South Knoxville has been the center of so much heated debate. The conversion of Flenniken Elementary School to a 48-unit permanent supportive housing development, called Flenniken Landing, almost didn’t happen. “Flenniken Landing: A Story of Hope and Redemption,” written by Chris Martin, executive director of Knoxville Leadership Foundation (KLF), describes how many times the project was nearly derailed. The school, built in stages beginning in 1919, closed for good in 1994. Knoxville native and developer David Arning considered putting condos in the space, but determined that property values in the neighborhood wouldn’t support renovation costs. In 2008, Arning joined Southeastern Housing Foundation, a subsidiary of KLF, and the idea of turning the building into permanent supportive housing was born. It was a longshot from the very beginning. To get off the ground, the project needed several sources of funding, including a grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and affordable housing tax credits from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA). In fall of 2009, the project came before the City Council for a use on review hearing.

Members of KLF knew they didn’t have the support of the majority, but after an impassioned plea by the Rev. Ragan Schriver, the council voted 5-4 in favor of the proposal. In the summer of 2010, the major investor in the project withdrew, and the THDA gave KLF 30 days to find a replacement. Miraculously, they did it. But that investor backed out 30 days before the project was to close. In a desperate attempt to save the project, Arning suggested a call to the first investor. Within four hours, a new deal, with the original investor, had been reached. “You can’t say God didn’t have a big hand in this,” says Dan Myers of KLF as he sits in the former school auditorium, now a sun-drenched hall
with removable chairs and a large media screen. This is where he hopes church groups will host events, like dinners, movie nights and worship services, for the residents, who will begin moving in by mid-November. “Now we have to do what we said we were going to do,” says Myers, as he watches volunteers furnish the apartments. “The community has to see us succeed.” The community is definitely watching. Throughout the life of the city of Knoxville and Knox County’s Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, which evolved into Compassion Knoxville last spring, there has been much discussion about whether or not permanent supportive housing belongs in neigh-

borhoods. Flenniken’s new residents will be formerly chronically homeless, meaning that they have either been continuously homeless for a year or had four episodes of homelessness in three years. But all residents will have a verifiable source of income, and all will pay rent. An onsite apartment manager will collect rent and see that the property is maintained. Residents will work closely with a case manager who will assist them with life skills and help them work toward self-sufficiency. Minvilla Manor, which has been open for a year, has served as a model for the new facility. “We’ve had the luxury of seeing what works and what doesn’t work,” says Myers. Security measures, like one supervised point of entry and numerous video cameras, are reassuring to neighbors, who may worry that residents are dangerous. But most measures are actually in place for residents who are vulnerable to outside influences, he says. The one-bedroom and efficiency apartments at Flenniken Landing are surprisingly stylish. Johnson and Galyon was contractor on the project, and the completed apartments are comparable to downtown lofts, with high ceilings and open floor plans. Church groups and other organizations are supplying furnishings for each unit. To those who still have concerns about the facility, Myers offers this invitation: come take a look. Flenniken Landing will be dedicated Saturday, Nov. 12, and the building will be open to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
To donate While there is no debt on the Flenniken Landing building, Knoxville Leadership Foundation continues to raise funds to support the facility’s case managers. Those who donate $50 will receive a copy of KLF Executive Director Chris Martin’s book, “Flenniken Landing: A Story of Hope and Redemption,” and permanent plaques will identify individuals or groups that donate $1,000 to sponsor an apartment.

We outsource our transportation (to bus contractors). … The administration and vendor have worked hard to get the best plan we can.”

New â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;battleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Korean War veteran Lorraine Furtner
S
ince birth, Korean War veteran Al Anthony Fiori is accustomed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ rst everâ&#x20AC;? experiences, so is it surprising for him to still be in that situation at age 82? For the ďŹ rst time in his life, Fiori is battling unemployment and possibly discrimination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never retired. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still looking for a job,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori. Fiori is physically ďŹ t (he just singlehandedly installed a new roof over his carport) and mentally sharp, with an impressive resume boasting nearly 60 years in broadcasting and advertising. But he says no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responded to the 50 applications heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s placed. Fioriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory is potential employers determine age based on graduation dates and automatically decline him. He cannot prove the discrimination, so rather than give up Fiori took advantage of the 60/65 Disabled provision at Pellissippi State Community College (PSCC) where Tennessee residents over the age of 60 can audit classes free of charge (plus application/individual class fees). Those over age 65 can take classes for course credit for $70. PSCC director of marketing Julia Wood said 92 students currently receive the senior citizen discount. Going to college in his 80s is one area in which Fiori is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ rst.â&#x20AC;? He is the sixth oldest student at Pellissippi this semester. Fiori attends the Introduction to Screenwriting class taught by professor Edward Francisco. Franciso said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to writing, our nontraditional students are often among the best. Our purpose is to help (students) become professional writers.â&#x20AC;? A writing career is Fioriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next
goal. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on a book about how rock and roll music changed the world, several articles and two movies. His life reads like a screenplay. Fiori is ďŹ rst generation American, born Almondo Antonio Vincenzo Fiori to Italian immigrants Biaggio and Fannie Fiori in 1929. Living as such in the U.S. during World War II, Fiori remembers their family being subjected to FBI searches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to own weapons, short-wave radios or even a camera.â&#x20AC;? The searches didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dampen Fioriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patriotism and he gladly served when drafted into the military, even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;vehemently opposed to war unless directly attacked.â&#x20AC;? As a technical sergeant in the U.S. Air Force from 1948-52, Firoi served with the USAF inaugural air refueling squadron, the 43rd Squadron, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ rst global refuellers.â&#x20AC;? Fiori participated in refueling of the ďŹ rst nonstop around the world ďŹ&#x201A;ight: Boeing B-50A Lucky Lady II, Feb. 26 to March 2, 1949, taking 94 hours and 1 minute. After his tour of duty, Fiori followed his dream â&#x20AC;&#x153;to work in the movies.â&#x20AC;? He became the ďŹ rst person in his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history to graduate college with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in broadcasting from Los Angeles State College in 1956. Fiori immediately began working in radio and ďŹ lm, where he adopted the personality name of Al Anthony. Fiori worked as an uncredited paid extra on 12 ďŹ lms, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blackboard Jungle,â&#x20AC;? a cuttingedge movie for its time about juvenile delinquency which starred Glenn Ford and Sidney Poitier. While a disc jockey, Fiori helped

set up the ďŹ rst radio station between San Diego and Los Angeles: KSLR in Oceanside, Calif. He became well known while serving as executive vice president for KFXM Tiger radio, in San Bernadino, Calif., working for Tullis and Hearne Broadcasting Company. Firoi laughed recalling a time when no one would play the Beach Boys and he could easily get them to play gigs for his radio station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put those guys on the map,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori. From 1962 to 1963 Fiori also produced and hosted the syndicated television show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Al Anthony Dance Party.â&#x20AC;? He continued in broadcasting until 1991, then utilized his knowledge and creativity to open the Double A advertising agency. In 1999 Fiori and wife Mari moved to Tennessee to be near their ďŹ rst grandchild because Mari was diagnosed with scleroderma, a severe auto-immune disease, and given two to seven yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life expectancy. Eleven years and ďŹ ve more grandchildren after her diagnosis, Mari is still ďŹ ghting and the couple

lives in Knoxville. Fiori worked at Jewelry Television from 1998 until a large layoff in 2008. He then worked as the electronics department manager for Walmart until 2010. Out of work since that time, Fiori ďŹ nds his new joblessness uncomfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I keep thinking Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too old for anything, even though I ďŹ nished rooďŹ ng my house myself,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, though, you have to think about who you are and what you have done.â&#x20AC;? Of course he is proud of his time in the Air Force and to have been involved in some historical moments. In October, Fiori ďŹ&#x201A;ew on an HonorAir ďŹ&#x201A;ight to Washington, D.C. Fiori is most gratiďŹ ed with all the people he has met, his accomplishments in broadcasting and being a pioneer in the rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think that somehow Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve touched every single person on the planet through music and my contributions to the music industry,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori.

I have said before in this space that there are times when I lie down to sleep and imagine that I am crawling into the Father’s lap, to curl up like a child – secure, warm, protected, loved. I believe that I am not the only one who enjoys that feeling. I think the Father enjoys it as much as any parent who has the privilege of holding and comforting, of protecting and loving a child. Having enjoyed that sheltering love, I am better prepared the next morning, to go into the world to share it with others of God’s children, some of whom have had little enough love, and some who have no idea that God’s lap is available to them.

that we give thanks for the blessings of the day, and call them to mind again? Would it mean that we acknowledge our shortcomings, our failures, our sins? Would it move us closer to God, move us into the mighty presence of our Lord? Would it mean we would sleep more peacefully? Would it mean that we could give our worries, our fretfulness, the cares of the day into His keeping? Would finding “a place for the Lord” be a mezuzah at the doorway of the night? Would it be a reminder to whisper a prayer of thanksgiving, to acknowledge God’s presence with us as we sleep, to accept with joy the gifts of rest and peace?

a totally different Scripture passage), I realized what an appropriate passage this is for a night-time prayer. Like the childhood prayer “Now I lay me down to sleep, …” this text can be a way to remember the Lord as we give ourselves over to the vulnerability of sleep: “I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord.” I realize that I am taking David’s words out of context and giving them new meaning, but to give the Lord a place in our lying down to rest? What would that mean? What would it mean, as we turn to rest at night, to “find a place for the Lord”? Would it mean that we take a moment to consider the ways in which God has guided our steps, words and deeds during the day? Would it mean

Unsung heroes
Assistant coaches aid in Panthers’ success By Greg Householder Back on Oct. 28, the 2011 Powell High School football Panthers finished the team’s second undefeated regular season run in as many years and had the first back-to-back undefeated regular seasons in school history. The Panthers earned a No. 1 seed in the second quad for the playoffs. Powell also went into last Friday’s first round playoff game with Anderson County with an AP state No. 1 Class 5A ranking. Results of Friday’s game were unavailable at press time. If the Panthers prevailed over 5-5 Anderson County, Powell would host the winner of No. 4 seed Ooltewah and No. 5 seed Shelbyville on Friday, Nov. 11. Both teams entered the playoffs with 7-3 records. Kickoff for playoff games is 7 p.m. Head coach Matt Lowe, in his ninth year at Powell
and sixth year as head coach, must be doing something right. Whatever it is, he isn’t doing it alone. Lowe is assisted by a talented and capable staff of assistant coaches. Leading the defense as defensive coordinator and outside linebacker coach is David Hawkins. Hawkins has spent 25 years coaching and all of that at Powell. Hawkins graduated from PHS in 1980 and graduated with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UT in 1983 where he served as a graduate assistant coach. The inside linebacker coach is first year coach Justin Lamb. Lamb is a 2006 PHS graduate and a 2010 UT grad and is working on his master’s degree. Coaching the defensive line is Rusty Smith. Smith also serves as the freshman coach and has 13 years of coaching experience, seven of which have been at Powell. Smith previously coached at
Karns. Smith is a 1987 Halls graduate and played on the 1986 AAA state championship team at Halls. Smith is a 1998 Carson-Newman grad and has served in the United States Air Force. Scotty Stewart coaches the special teams and the defensive backs. Stewart is in his third year of coaching and third year at Powell. He is a graduate of Morristown West and Maryville College. On the offensive side of the ball, Larry Neely coaches the line. Neely has 23 years of coaching experience, the last four being at Powell. Neely has also coached at ETSU, Happy Valley High School, Rural Retreat (Va.) High School and Fort Chiswell (Va.) High School. Neely is a Halls graduate and received his bachelor’s degree from ETSU in 1981 and his master’s degree in 1986. Charles Birden coaches the running backs. Birden is in his third year of coaching,

Seymore is a 1999 Volunteer High graduate and received his bachelor’s in 2003 and master’s in 2005 from UT. Coaching the inside receivers and tight ends is Chad Smith.

Smith is a 1994 graduate of Fulton and received his bachelor’s in 2000, his master’s in 2006 and his Ed.S. in 2011 from UT.

Linebacker coach Jim McDonald got a tip from a friend in Ohio. The young guy at Wittenberg was available. He had just won the national small-college championship with a disciplined concept and remarkable offensive efficiency. McDonald came up with a copy of the Sports Illustrated story about Mears’ gimmicks, including the pre-game menu, green Jell-O and oatmeal cookies. Wittenberg’s colors are green and white. Mears switched to orange Jell-O at Tennessee. Insight: This remarkable man took the job without asking how much he would be paid. The Mears years featured

The overly exuberant Volunteers celebrated by stuffing a humble sportswriter named West, fully clothed, into a cold shower. The Mears years transformed Tennessee into a national name. Included were seven seasons with 20 or more victories when that was a lot. Alas, the era did not end well. Illness overtook the coach. He departed without ceremony. Old Vols, buttering biscuits together, will take care of that. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

story titled “Walking with Schizophrenia.” Willson, 46, has two career goals: to teach English on the college level and to write. She says she has received a lot of support for her writing at Pellissippi State. “I’ve taken all the classes I can from Ed Francisco, English professor and Pellissippi State’s writer-inresidence. He has always been very encouraging about my writing.” Beyond earning PTK recognition, Willson is also one of two people who received an Earl Hamner allexpense-paid scholarship to this past summer’s Moun-
tain Heritage Literary Festival at Lincoln Memorial University. Hamner is creator of “The Waltons” and author of “Spencer’s Mountain,” “The Homecoming” and “Fifty Roads to Town.” “It was class, after class, after class,” Willson said. “It was awesome! Some of the writers took a look at my stuff and told me where I needed to tighten up.” Willson graduated from Pellissippi State earlier this year with an associate degree and a 3.87 grade point average. Her plan is to take some additional classes at Pellissippi State before transferring to Maryville College.

or many people with hearing loss, getting to a hearing testing center can be difficult. For others, it’s simply impossible. That problem has been solved by the helpful folks at Smoky Mountain Hearing Specialists. They’ll come to you, wherever you are, and are equipped to do all of the necessary testing and fitting on site. According to Brett Parish, “This is a unique way we have found to serve our clients. We make it easy for them. They never have to leave their home to be tested and fitted with the appropriate hearing device. We do all the work where the client is most comfortable.” Parish says the Smoky Mountain Hearing Specialists staff work oneon-one with the client, whether in the home or in the company’s offices at 111 Center Park Drive, Suite 1200, just off Parkside Drive, adding, “We do a whole lot more than just the hearing test. Included in the assessment is an analysis of the client’s medical background to insure that wearing a hearing aid is the proper solution for a problem they’re having. There is much more involved than just what the client hears.” After completion of

all of the testing, “We review the options with the client. We look at different aspects of their life to determine what is best. For some people, it’s cosmetic appeal. We’ll address that and any other issues and find the perfect solution.” Parish point outs that it’s critical to start the testing process quickly once hearing loss is detected, as it does not improve over time. Waiting too long for an accurate diagnosis can compound the problem.
Smoky Mountain Hearing Specialists also services and repairs all hearing aids and specializes in Siemens products. They offer a range of prices and payment options and will process your insurance.

Take the time. It’s worth the 23-minute investment. Go to wuot.org and listen to “A Key to my Room: Women of the YWCA” produced by Leslie Snow with executive producer Matt Shafer Powell of WUOT. In 1925, the YWCA was a safe place for women moving to the city looking for job training. Currently, the YWCA, funded by the United Way and other Fansler donors, provides the only transitional housing for low-income women in Knoxville. Women in the YWCA’s transitional housing program are allowed to stay at the YWCA for up to two years as they rebuild their lives. During that time, they are required to pay rent ($55 per week), attend meetings to set short- and long-term goals, and learn how to live on a budget. There are counseling sessions and yoga classes. They can get a GED and learn how to use a computer and how to conduct themselves in an interview. In this inspiring 23-minute audio production, six women who have lived at the YWCA share their stories and describe how they have turned their lives around. The women tell of addiction, abuse, humiliation and shame. These are personal, intimate stories with graphic descriptions of violence and loss of hope – loss of everything. Frightened and frail, they come from jail or from life on the streets. At the YWCA, they find rebirth, redemption and hope. It starts with a key. According to Executive Director Marigail Mullin, “when women get the keys to their rooms it represents so much to them: safety, choice, freedom, independence, a new life. Some have never had their own keys. Some have been locked out. So when they’re given the key, it represents so much.” One resident says, “When I got that key, I knew I had to be responsible.” Another says, “I wanted to be successful. I started being responsible, and I liked it.” You’ll cheer for these women as they describe adversity few of us can imagine and their struggles to reclaim their lives. And you’ll be thankful that the YWCA’s transitional housing program offers them the key to a new life. Pam Fansler is president of First Tennessee Bank’s East Tennessee region.

Sunny days and dirty cars bring a big smile to Jim Rooney’s face. He hopes come April he’ll bring smiles to customers’ faces when he opens a new 3-Minute Magic Car Wash on Kingston Pike at the site of the former Caliber Car Wash. He’s had his eye on that location for 14 years and when the opportunity came to buy it, he jumped. The new facility will employ new technology which Ronney calls “one of the coolest things I’ve seen.” Wax is sprayed by hand on vehicles at the beginning of the dry wax tunnel, and as the car is pulled through, fabric strips buff the wax to a shine usually seen only when done by hand. “We can wash a car in under three minutes and wax it in under four,” said Rooney. “It will be a high gloss finish at a low cost and quick pace.” Rooney is pulling out the Caliber Car Wash convenience store to install the wax tunnel. He’ll utilize the
existing standard car wash portion of the building, but extend the length by 20 feet. He’s also reversing the direction by which cars enter the wash tunnel. Customers will enter off Kingston Pike and drive to the back of the lot to the pay station and wash tunnel. From there customers, who stay in their cars during the wash/wax cycles, can exit to the vacuum station and leave if they only want a wash, or continue to the dry wax tunnel. They can also opt to hit the vacuum station after exiting the wax tunnel. Washing cars isn’t his only business. Rooney has been detailing cars all over the U.S. for 14 years. Wife Teri runs that business, NDI Group. They manage new car shows and auto special events detailing vehicles to a pristine shine for the duration of a show. They’ve detailed 400 cars for the Detroit car show and 800 in Los Angeles. “That’s a lot of fingerprints and nose prints on glass and lots of dust,” Jim Rooney
laughs. When Volkswagen opened a new plant in Chattanooga, the Rooneys were asked to detail 850 cars for 1,200 dealers. Jim Rooney spent 13 years with Chrysler as a district sales manager. He was transferred here in 1995 and it became clear if they wanted to make this area home, they would have to create a business. He learned about the express car wash concept in 2003 and opened his first 3-Minute Magic Car Wash in 2005. He’s excited for the Farragut location to open, and April is a good month with all that yellow pollen falling from the trees. Planning has taken six months and Rooney says, “It’s the most fun I’ve had since I started washing cars.”

The grocery retailer implemented an energy conservation program in 2009, saving 6.5 million kilowatt-hours of energy in its second year. The company’s first solar panel project is a medium scale solar array, which will require the installation of 221 photovoltaic panels on the store’s roof top. The unit is a 51.9 kilowatt solar system with an anticipated energy production of around 63,074 kwh per year.
