Officers sworn for 2012 By Greg Householder Ivan Herd and Diane Wilkerson were named Powell’s Man and Woman of the Year for 2011 at the annual banquet of the Powell Business and Professional Association held Dec. 9 at the Jubilee Banquet Facility. Dr. Donald Wegener was named Businessperson of the Year. The group recognized outgoing officers and state Rep. Bill Dunn swore in the 2012 officers and committee chairs. New officers are: Kelley Jarnigan of Farm Bureau Insurance, president; Daniel Monday of Slam Dot, vice president; Jessica Webber of Walgreens, secretary; and Teresa Long of First Tennessee Bank, treasurer. Radio and television personality Hallerin Hilton Hill spoke along the theme of his television show “Anything is Possible.” Kenny Phillips, with the help of his dad, Howard, of Powell Auction and Realty, conducted a spirited auction of baskets and other prizes. In a bit of a schedule change because she had a later engagement, former Powell Lions Club president and next year’s Lions District 12N district governor Diane Wilkerson was named the Woman of the Year. Wilkerson was recognized for her work with the Powell Lions and its sponsorship of high profi le community events such as the Powell Lions Horse Show, the 4th of July parade, the Taste of the Season Craft Fair and the Powell Christmas parade in addition to its work with Lions vision programs. Later, Ivan Herd was presented as the Man of the Year. He was recognized for his longtime contributions to the community and his work with the Powell Community Chest. Herd has lived in Powell for almost 60 years and in his unassuming manner has quietly contributed much to the community through the Community Chest, the Powell Community Concerns Organization and his

In a bit of trickery, Dr. Donald Wegener was presented as the Businessperson of the Year. Wegener has led the Man, Woman and Businessperson of the Year selection committee since 1984, so the other committee members had to
conduct some subterfuge to keep Wegener in the dark as to who the actual selectee was through the use of a “red herring” candidate. The Powell High School Singers provided the entertainment during the early “meet and greet” segment.
‘Panther Promise’ Second year of Rachel’s Challenge ’By Greg Householder About a year ago a young woman named Nicole Nowlen came to speak at Powell Middle School. Nowlen was a survivor of the horrific shooting at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Nowlen was at Powell Middle to kick off “Rachel’s Challenge” – a program that emphasizes kindness and goal-setting named in honor of Rachel Scott, the first person killed at Columbine. The program worked well last year and was brought back this year. Last Wednesday, the second year of “Rachel’s Challenge” began with three assemblies by grade level in the school gymnasium. PMS principal Gary Critselous outlined the principles of “Rachel’s Challenge” – look for the best in others, dare to dream, choose positive influences, use kind words and start a chain reaction of kindness. “This will help you make good
choices,” Critselous told each class. The guest speaker was Lucas Hurd who got several laughs with his delivery of his positive messages. Critselous followed Hurd and introduced the PMS specifics of “Rachel’s Challenge” – the “Panther Promise.” Students were urged to make the Panther Promise which states: “Today I will pursue my goals with integrity and perseverance, partner with others with respect and cooperation, practice kindness with compassion, and pick a positive attitude.” Students will meet on Wednesdays during 2012 to discuss the Panther Promise. They will elect homeroom representatives and students will complete a goal sheet and student suggestions for the program. Students will accept the Panther Promise and discuss it with their parents and sign the Promise sheet. They will sign the Panther Promise poster and receive a Panther Promise wristband and live the Panther Promise every day. “We’re going to hold each other accountable,” said Critselous.

Across the way – literally – on the other side of the Jubilee Banquet Facility from where the banquet was being held, the Powell Playhouse Gospel Concert was about to start.

Lions make Christmas happen
Several weeks ago, the Knox North Lions Club formally adopted Whittle Springs Middle School. The Lions had a close relationship with the principal, Dr. Jill Hobby, when she was the assistant principal at Northwest Middle School. The Lions had previously adopted Northwest. A couple of weeks ago the
Lions received a list of kids at Whittles whose families needed a little bit of help with Christmas this year. The Lions responded, some picking up a kid alone or with another Lion. The Lions ended up buying Christmas presents for 13 deserving kids. Last Wednesday, we were supposed to meet at Denise Girard’s office at First Century Bank to wrap presents and get them to the school. Pam Brantley from the school showed with her minivan to collect the goodies. For some reason, all of the males in the Knox North Lions except me had better things to do that day. I was the only guy to show up. My Christmas wrapping skills are horrible and I am an avid user of gift bags. I’m still waiting for someone to invent Christmas shrinkwrap wrapping paper. Anyway, Clare Crawford, Cindy Teague and Pat Morden joined Denise and Pam, and we had a wrapping party. I took pictures.
with my new bride – we were married in July. Throw in the unseasonably warm weather and the hurrying and scurrying, well, it has been a little tough for me to get into the Christmas spirit this year. But I’m working on it. So again, Merry Christmas everyone. ■

Rhinestone Cowboy says goodbye By Jake Mabe MARYVILLE – The Rhinestone Cowboy rode out in a star spangled rodeo once again, this time to say goodbye. Country music legend Glen Campbell, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in July, made a special stop on his Goodbye Tour last Thursday to honor a Tennessee legend, UT women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt, who was also diagnosed with the disease this summer. The soldout concert at the Clayton Center for the Arts was a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Tennessee. What a perfectly poignant night. Those who were there got a glimpse of this terrible disease. Campbell sang 18 songs, ďŹ ghting a cold
most of the way, but mostly picking his guitar and crooning like the champ he always has been. He and his daughter Ashley went right at it on “Dueling Banjos.� She’d pluck on her banjo and he’d match her, note for note, on the guitar. But, he told the same two or three jokes two or three times. And he has noticeably aged since I saw him in North Carolina just two years ago. Summitt couldn’t attend because she was with her team in California, preparing for a game against UCLA. But she sent a video message, saying, “I am living my life and fighting this disease publicly.� So, too, is Campbell, who wanted to sing one last time for his fans. He also brought
Glen Campbell smiles before leaving the stage during a stop at the Clayton Center for the Arts in Maryville on his Goodbye Tour last Thursday night.

Oh, how bittersweet those Jimmy Webb songs sounded this time – “Galvestonâ€? and “By the Time I Get to Phoenixâ€? and “Wichita Linemanâ€? and “Where’s the Playground, Susie?â€? I didn’t
think Campbell would throw us any surprises, but he included a lesser-known Webb gem, “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.� And, oh, how bittersweet it is to see another chapter of American music come to a close. “I think Glen Campbell, for me, represents in microcosm a connection to

Campbell is a one-degreeof-separation connection to so much that’s gone now – Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys and John Wayne. He sang “True Grit,â€? the theme song from the hit 1969 ďŹ lm in which Campbell co-starred with The Duke. “That was really scary,â€? he said about being a ďŹ rsttime actor playing opposite a Hollywood legend. “But John Wayne came in and said, ‘My daughter likes you so you must be OK.’ â€?

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC
Rule #4: You are what you don’t excrete.. By Dr. Donald G. Wegener By the previous caption I think you know where I’m headed with this rule. Most people are shocked to know that a large portion of their being overweight has to do with the fact that they are not eliminating the toxins from their body in a timely manner. At this point I would like to give Dr. Wegener you a small anatomy lesson on how your body functions. The majority of your internal organs, including your digestive system, heart, lungs and any organ that functions without you consciously thinking of it, are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. This branch of your nervous system has two functional components. The sympathetic portions of the autonomic nervous system and the parasympathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system or as some authors say the sympathetic or “catabolicâ€? branch and the parasympathetic or “anabolicâ€? branch. The sympathetic branch is the branch that is considered as our ďŹ ght-or-ight system because it prepares your body to get ready to get out of an emergency situation. In essence it sends blood to our muscles and it takes blood away from our internal organs stopping or slowing the digestive process while increasing the heart rate and dilating the eyes. The sympathetic branch is the dominant system when
we are in a stressful situation. As you can imagine in today’s environment people are constantly in stressful situations, not getting enough sleep, working stressful jobs and trying to cope with life and many people are ingesting stimulants to keep up. In essence our bodies are being bombarded by chemicals from our food, water and drugs all of which are designed to help increase your energy and often times throw the nervous system out of balance. The problem with this situation is that most people are living in a sympathetic state, which shuts down digestion and often leads to constipation. This is why America spends over $1.3 million on laxatives each day. So you can see that we often put ourselves in the situation of taking stimulants to give ourselves more energy when in fact they shut down the digestive process and then we buy laxatives to help stimulate the elimination process. My point is that you must have balance in your life and you must rely less on stimulants and laxatives, both of which work against each other.

Bill Tallent: American hero The wrinkly, yellowed page isn’t much to look at, but it reads like a novel: “I didn’t know it was going to be called the Battle of the Bulge, but I knew something was about to happen. Something big,” Bill Tallent said. “I was 19 years old and I was an Infantry Raider with the 28th Infantry Division assigned to Intelligence, which meant I was responsible for penetrating the enemy lines to gather information about their locations and personnel. I carried about $30,000 worth of currency called ‘Invasion Money.’ They were smaller than normal bills, and I was supposed to use them if I ran into trouble. “We were camped in a German town called Hosigen, not far from the Belgian border. Both sides were trying to infiltrate the enemy lines. There were Germans galore in American uniforms.
Sculpture honors educators “Pedagogy,” a new piece of public art to honor educators, was unveiled last week at the City County Building. It was sculpted by Julie Warren Conn who stands with Dr. Gene Overholt at the dedication. The work in stone includes books titled: “Discovery” “Enlightenment” and “Truth.” Overholt, who once served on the Knoxville city school board, was co-founder of the Chamber’s Leadership Education program and remains active with its alumni group.

Betty Bean “Two nights before the battle started, I’d been out late. The moon was out and I saw somebody come through an opening in a wall. I couldn’t see exactly where he went, so I followed him. I was inside. He was outside. We both stepped through another opening at the same time and he walked right up against the barrel of my gun. I had it in his belly. He was wearing an American colonel’s uniform. I saw his hand start to come around and he took a big, deep breath. I could see a colonel’s silver leaf on his helmet. “I said ‘Don’t do it.’ He saved his own life by breathing deep. He spoke English and we interrogated him. We were talking, talking, talking, standing there in

I should’ve triggered him right there, but I didn’t. He was scared all to hell. “I went back and told my commanding officer, but it didn’t seem to bother him. He was a schoolteacher out of South Carolina, and he
wasn’t a killer type. He carried a carbine. Might as well have been a BB gun. The next night I crossed the Our River to gather information. I knew they were massing up, and I wanted to know how many tanks they had. I went back and briefed my C.O: ‘There’s a crowd over there waiting on us.’ “He asked me, ‘Do you think they’re going to come after us?’ “We got our answer the next morning.” In the months that followed, Tallent survived capture, Gestapo interrogation and gunshot wounds, two escape attempts (one successful) and going on the lam in the German countryside. I had the honor a few years ago of helping him get it down on paper. Above is the first page of the first draft of his World War II memoirs. The finished product is in his files.

the amendment and the voters, in turn, ratified it. So the third Saturday in December is now the significant date. Today is the first work day for the new Rogero Administration. Attention will fade quickly as we get ready for Christmas and the newness wears off. Salaries for the new directors will be re-

Also, whether they are assigned city cars or a car allowance will be told so you can know the total pay package. ■ Mayor Rogero plans to attend the mid winter meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington on Jan. 18-20. This will be a valuable time for her to meet mayors from around the country.

Pension issues are serious and costly. ■ For example, Dave Hill, who Rogero terminated from his waterfront position, will receive a lifetime city pension starting in 2017 of $1,035.17 a month or $12,400 a year with a 3 percent annual escalator compounded for the rest of his life. So in 2027, his pension will be almost $17,000 a year and still growing ... a 30 percent increase compounded in 10 years.

Lakeshore closing ‘not a done deal’ Local officials skeptical By Betty Bean Doug Varney, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Mental Health was dispatched to Knoxville by Gov. Bill Haslam Tim Burchett last week to meet with County Mayor Tim Burchett and others to quell the negative reaction to the news that the state plans to close Lakeshore Mental Health Institute. Whether or not he succeeded remains to be seen. Knox County commissioners will vote today (Dec. 19) on a resolution to ask the state to delay the closure for two years. Varney, a psychological examiner who worked his way up the management ladder to become CEO of Frontier Health, a community mental health center in the Tri-Cities area, assured his audience that he didn’t decide to close Lakeshore because it’s costing more than $25 million a year to care for some 100 patients. This is not a budget-balancing measure, he said. There are better ways to treat mental illness than institutionalization. “This is not driven by money or budget,” he said. “The deal in and of itself, the real key, is that we are moving forward in something we’ve been working on for 50 years – deinstitutionalization.” Varney commended the Lakeshore employees, whom he said, “do God’s
Commissioner Doug Varney and Deputy Commissioner Marie Williams field questions. Photo by Betty Bean
work, every day.” He said his department will provide as much help as possible to some 370 employees who will lose their jobs, including severance packages and placement assistance. As for the patients, Varney said the state has placement alternatives for those who need inpatient care. He believes advances in medications will ease the transition for others. “We’ve come a long way.” Varney added that 90 percent of Lakeshore’s patients stay for fewer than 10 days, 70 percent for less than a week, and that these patients are good candidates for community health care services. The portion of the $25plus million spent on thirdparty payments will be reinvested in the community, he said. The rest will be reinvested in the mental health system. He attempted to dispel fears that chronically mentally ill patients will be discharged into the streets of Knoxville, swelling the
already robust homeless population and endangering the patients’ lives. “(Under the new system) we’re going to be able to serve a lot more people,” he said. “Nobody in that longterm group is going to be discharged to some apartment somewhere or some emergency shelter. They’ll have some of the best placements we’ve ever had.” Those 40 to 60 patients who require inpatient care will be moved to facilities in Johnson City and Oak Ridge and the state will develop a transportation option to keep that burden from falling on local emergency services, Varney said. Several county commissioners expressed dissatisfaction, led by Jeff Ownby, who complained that stateprovided job leads are turning out to be for low-pay, low benefit, dead-end positions, and Amy Broyles, who said she has “deep concerns” that uninsured patients will end up on the streets. Commission chair Mike Hammond observed
What are you weighting for?
that the shutdown appears to be “a done deal,” a contention Varney denied. A woman seated at the conference table attempted to ask questions, but wasn’t called on. After the meeting, she identified herself as “Stacey,” a Lakeshore employee. She said about 2,261 patients have been admitted to Lakeshore over the past year, 1,801 of them uninsured. Forty-nine were classified as violent and 141 were inmates of the Knox County jail. “At least 460 were sent to us because no other facility wanted them,” she said. “And 273 of those were sent to us because there was no appropriate bed available at a private facility. Six people on the sub-acute or short-term floor are violent. One of them has a probation band around his ankle because he’s actually a rapist. No private facility is going to take somebody like that.” And fi nally, she said there are patients whom Varney needs to reassure. “Patients are wanting to talk to him. He won’t. They’re terrified. A lot of our patients were here in the Children and Youth Program. Some of them refer to the security guards as Mom and Dad. It’s just a sad, sad thing that’s going on here. I don’t understand how he can sleep at night.” After the meeting, Burchett was asked if he is convinced that the move to close Lakeshore is motivated by concern for patient well being rather than financial considerations. “When I was a legislator, there’s one thing I learned pretty quick,” he said. “Follow the money.”
Brown bids a graceful farewell By Betty Bean Call it a victory lap. Vice Mayor Joe Bailey did the honors at the reception honoring outgoing Mayor Daniel Brown last Monday. “ M a y o r, Daniel Brown you didn’t mess it up.” There was a rare consensus in the crowded Small Assembly Room as several hundred Knoxvillians gathered to thank Brown for his 11-month tenure as interim mayor. Brown, who was elected by his City Council colleagues to serve out the unexpired term of now-Gov. Bill Haslam, went back to being the 6th District City Council representative after the inauguration of Mayor Madeline Rogero on Saturday. But Monday belonged to history buff Brown, whose sole request upon vacat-
ing the mayor’s office was some kind of commemoration of those who came here in servitude. Brown, who is known for old-school courtesy, thanked his wife, Cathy, his constituents, his City Council colleagues, city employees (with a special shout-out to City Recorder Cindy Mitchell) and got a standing ovation as he unveiled the plaque, which said, above the great seal of the city, “In Honor of Daniel T.

A Christmas

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell
I
am sure almost everyone has a special Christmas they remember above all the rest. With some 73 Christmases to remember, one in particular stands out. It was the Christmas of 1944 when World War II was nearing its end. It was a bittersweet Christmas for my family because we had just learned that my brother, Staff Sgt. Joseph A. Shell, had been killed in France on Thanksgiving Day and another brother, Sgt. 1st Class Carl C. Shell, was still in harm’s way in the battle for Italy. But amidst the sadness, the family gathered at our home to celebrate Christmas. I was only 6 years old and had very little understanding of our loss since I was only 3 years old when they left home and barely remembered either of them. As always, we had a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of presents, and my mother had prepared a feast for some 12 family members. I really wasn’t expecting much that year because the war effort had greatly reduced the availability of toys and that fact had been explained to me. All toys in the Christ-
mas catalogues were made of wood since metal was needed for the war effort. But my big surprise on Christmas morning was a Western Flyer red wagon. My father grew up in a family that owned part interest in a furniture manufacturing company and had great talent in wood working. He had made the wagon in our woodworking shop and meticulously painted it exactly like those offered in catalogues including the name Western Flyer. Another special gift that year was a toy steam engine with a brass boiler, a whistle to let off excess steam and an alcohol burner. This was as big a surprise as the wagon because it was metallic. My father had purchased it from one of the train people who regularly came into the train station where he worked. It had probably been made in the mid-to-late 1930s prior to the rationing of metal products. I am not sure what ever happened to the Western Flyer wagon, but the steam engine is currently on display at the Farragut Folklife Museum as part of the antique toy collection exhibit. Although I had a dog,
I had also begged for two ducks, for what reason I can now not imagine, but they appeared one day as small solid white ducklings. My dog enjoyed them even more than me because it became his pastime chasing them around the yard. Now, ducks are extremely messy creatures and the yard was always full of white feathers. I named them Huey and Dewey. It didn’t take long before my parents suggested that we might need to give them away, but I was not too keen on giving away Huey and Dewey. The Christmas table that year contained the usual big turkey and all the trimmings, but there were two other offerings that I had not seen before, much smaller than the turkey. I noticed that the other family members were testing two offerings in a cautious manner and I decided to do the same. It didn’t take long for me to determine that turkey was the best choice. And it was not for several days later that I realized Huey and Dewey were missing and overheard a conversation about them. It then dawned on me that I had eaten Huey and Dewey.
I can remember other Christmases with varying degrees of fondness and sadness, including two that were spent overseas while in the military. And I am sure that like most soldiers now serving our country in foreign lands, their memories of past Christmases are thoughts that bring them closer to home. Home for the holidays seems to be an innate yearning, and I remember that yearning which also translates as home sickness. And during those two years away from home, the Christmas of

1944 was the one I seemed to remember most. Even today, I enjoy browsing through toy stores during Christmas and looking at the myriad of offerings that kids can enjoy: radio controlled vehicles, electronic computer games and even small power-driven vehicles that can be ridden. These toys would have been beyond the most creative imagination for kids 60 years ago and particularly those that grew up during the WWII years. But given all the ad-

He was a two-way tackle and sometimes tight end on the Westview High team. He also took up considerable space in basketball. Parade magazine said he was a prep allAmerican in football. Alabama tried to recruit him. Gene Stallings did the official inhome visit. When the coach returned to his car, he found it decorated in orange and white with a Tennessee pennant attached to the radio antenna. Those same Clifton friends did the dastardly deed. Stallings smiled and acknowledged that Big Orange Country is real. Chad chose to join Phillip Fulmer, an old line coach, at Tennessee. Remember this part: Clifton
vancement in technology, Christmas for kids 60 years ago, when little red wagons were a real treat, were enjoyed no less than Christmases today when kids have a virtual cafeteria of offerings. And through the work of various charities, many of which didn’t exist then, even disadvantaged kids can now find their stockings filled with toys that will one day create fond memories for them. And through these opportunities, hopefully many will learn the joy of giving rather than receiving.
was a four-year starter. The Volunteers were somewhat successful, 43-7, during his time. He received all-SEC recognition and a national championship ring. The Sporting News thought Chad was a second-team allAmerican. The Packers thought he was at least that good. They drafted him in the second round. He became a great blindside protector, treasured but relatively unheralded. Clifton overcame injuries and got better with age. One year he played all 1,031 offensive snaps. He made it to the 2008 Pro Bowl. In 2010, he cashed in. His threeyear contract called for $20 million. In February, he and the Packers took another jackpot, Super Bowl XLV.

Time warp Now the birth of Jesus took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1: 18-21 NRSV) This is a season when time gets turned topsy-turvy. In the first place, time gets scarce. There doesn’t seem to be enough of it. How will we ever get everything done: shopping, cleaning, decorating, writing, mailing, cooking, wrapping? And where in that list, for crying out loud, are reading, singing, savoring, praying, fellowshipping, enjoying, worshipping, being? Also, time gets warped.

present – and now are gone – still inhabit Christmas. Our memories are dear and poignant. In the midst of the merriment, there are sometimes tears; with the laughter comes a catch in the throat and a wave of remembrance. Time was pretty topsyturvy for Joseph, too. Here was Mary, pregnant before she was married, pregnant even before they had “lived together,” as Matthew so delicately puts it. Where I work, our neighbors who are poor, homeless, alone, scared or sick remind me of a young couple who had no safe home to return to, and therefore no livelihood, no family or friends available and no place for a child to be born. No safety net at all, except the angel who kept showing up in Joseph’s dreams. The angel had reassured Joseph that everything was going to be fine. But now he had to deal with this taxation that Caesar Augustus had thought up! Here was bad timing, indeed, because Mary was due any day. I have tried to imagine that trip down through Judea, past Jerusalem and
on toward little Bethlehem. I have wondered how Joseph must have felt, coming back to his ancestral home, only to be told there was no place for him and for his wife, who was even now looking pale and frightened, and wishing for her mother. Did Joseph’s angel hover close that night, beating back the darkness with his powerful wings? Or did he sing the very first Christmas carol at the baby’s cry, a soft lullaby that was picked up by the heavenly hosts who sang in full chorus for amazed shepherds to hear: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors” (Luke 2: 14)? Remember, in this holy season, to someone, today, you may be the angel of the dream: giving direction, giving hope, giving encouragement or giving that swift kick in the seat of the pants, much like Joseph’s angel: “GO!” Or it may be that you are one of the heavenly choir who sings because you cannot stop the melody that gives your heart wings. May your Christmas be merry and blessed!

Area players shine in all-star game By Ruth White The cream of the crop gathered last weekend at CarsonNewman College and played one last game of their high school football careers. The event was the fifth annual Toyota East/West Tennessee All-Star Classic and seniors from all over Tennessee were selected to play in a game to showcase the athletic skills of some of the most talented players the state has to offer. Powell High standouts Dustin McPhetridge and Dyshawn Mobley represented their school on the East team and showed what a great pair they are on the field. Halls High’s Jared Long played a strong defense for the East team and made an impact on the opposing West team players. Mobley was selected as the Offensive MVP for the East following the game. Powell quarterback Dustin McPhetridge runs the ball during a play at the Toyota East/ West All-Star game last week at Carson-Newman College.

This senior serves community By Alvin Nance Today I’m glad to recognize Montgomery Village resident James Harmon for the important Nance volunteer work that he’s doing in that community. Harmon, 71, has been a Montgomery Village resident since 2009. Upon moving into Montgomery Village, Harmon discovered an unused library that was, in his words, “a mess.” The Knoxville native and University of Tennessee graduate took it upon himself to reopen the library, a monumental task that he says he
couldn’t have accomplished without a lot of help from retired librarian Dorothy Stamper. “The library basically consisted of four rooms full of books and boxes and boxes of books stored in closets,” says Harmon. “We organized those books into sections and then book donations started coming in. It’s been miraculous, really, how we’ve been able to stock the library.” The library is open from 12:30 to 5 p.m. on Sundays and from 2-5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. Harmon is there whenever the doors are open. He reports that children are the library’s “biggest customers,” and that about 50 young people actively use the library at
this time. Harmon loves to share stories, and one of his stories illustrates how the library is making a real difference: “One day two Burundian teenagers came in the library and were interested in some whittling I was doing. I spotted an Encyclopedia of Crafts sitting on the shelf and suggested they read it. They were amazed at all the things they could do, particularly beadwork. Having that book available helped me teach them how to learn to do things from books.” Harmon says he is profoundly grateful to have a place to live that he can afford and that giving back is his way of showing his gratitude.

Christmas arrived early this year for 180 area children – thanks to Weigel’s Family Christmas. The Powell-based convenience stores chain hosted 180 children selected by the Salvation Army to a shopping adventure at Kmart on Broadway and lunch and a party at the Salvation Army recreational center. “This is our 14th annual Weigel’s Family Christmas” said company president Ken McMullen. “This one event has become so important to Weigel’s that
we have created a special Foundation. Giving back to the community in this way touches the lives of each of us, and we want it to continue for generations to come.” Throughout the year, all Weigel’s stores have special events to raise money. “We have been blessed over the years to have the gracious support of so many vendor and supplier friends,” said McMullen, “and we plan on Weigel’s Family Christmas growing larger each year so we can provide many more of our children in the community an opportunity to enjoy a day to remember.”

NEWS FROM HELPING HANDS HOME ASSISTANCE
New Helping Hands center to serve young and old By Aaron Killian
H
elping Hands Home Assistance wants to help young and old alike through their new center located at 6900 Office Park Circle in Knoxville. Opened on Oct. 10, Helping Hands Childcare currently only serves small children ages six weeks to five years, but President and CEO Chris Middlebrook wants to add a senior center component to the facility. Middlebrook plans to call the day center for seniors “The Gathering Place.” “We want it to be a club for seniors – a gathering place,” Middlebrook said. “It’s an alternative to a

nursing home.” Designed mainly for seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia, the Gathering Place will be located on the upper level of the Helping Hands center with the childcare facility on the lower level, and Middlebrook said he’d like the children and adults to interact once or twice a week through crafts, story time and other activities. Also, the center will partner with the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine’s H.A.B.I.T (Human-Animal Bond In Tennessee) Pet Visitation program where children and adults will bond with animals for therapeutic experiences.
UT-Knoxville ■ Reporting child physical or sexual abuse is explained in a refresher program developed by the College of Social Work. Free, online training was developed in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services. To date, more than 100,000 users have visited the training website, which has been in existence for several years. Info: https:// www.sworps.tennessee.edu/ child_abuse_reporting/.
“I think both groups will benefit from the concept. Children have a way of bringing out memories for adults, especially those with memory loss,” Middlebrook said. “A lot of kids Saveon Magwood, Waylon Kitts, and Roshaun Smith listen as today are growing up with- Audra Southerland reads them a story.

nior programs. “I’m excited to partner with the Choices program which screens our senior applicants to meet eligibility requirements,” Middlebrook said. The childcare center accepts state certificates, which cover a majority of the cost. Currently Helping Hands Childcare is open from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Middlebrook said he wants the Gathering Place to offer a flexible schedule since so many seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s live with caretakers who work or have scheduled doctor’s appointments. Seniors may come to the center five days per week and up to 40 hours per week.
