By Greg Householder One thing is always constant – if one is looking for a good musical show, Powell High School choral instructor Jim Kennedy and his gang never disappoint.

On Dec. 15, the PHS Choral Department gave its annual Christmas concert at the school.

The show kicked off with the Powell Singers singing “Carol of the Bells”; “We Three Kings”; “The First Noel” with soloists Tucker Hyde, Katlyn Householder, Caleb Brewer and Kelsie Shipley; “Let Snow, Let it Snow”; “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies”; “Angels We Have Heard on High”; “Mary, Did You Know?” with soloist Chris Linkous; “13 Days of Christmas”; “Down, Down the Chimney”; and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

A Very Large Quartet, which is actually an

octet consisting of Courtney Broyles, Katherine Cobb, Haley Harbin, Shay Hicks, Tori Lentz, Hannah Strozyk, Ashton Wade and Danielle Welsh, performed “O Holy Night.”

The girls chorus took the stage and performed “Mele Kalikimaka” with Caleb Brewer on the ukulele, “What Child is This?” and “Jing-a-Ling” with soloist Haley Harbin.

The quartet Common Time performed “Feliz Navivdad.”

Members of the Concert Choir, as part of a special effects program called “Handel’s Vision” produced by Katie Higgins, performed “Hallelujah.”

The boys chorus, with special thanks to Brandon Evans and Greg Leonhardt, performed “Novum Gaudia”; “The Boar’s Head Carol”; “Riu, Riu, Chiu” with soloists Luke Nightwine and Curtis

By Ruth White Powell resident Sandy Perry had a blue Christmas, but it was a beautiful one, celebrating and honoring military personnel.

Perry comes from a long line of military personnel. Her father served and her father-in-law served, as did her grandfather and several of her children. She is military proud and is ever thankful for the sacrifices made by her family and others.

To show her pride and respect for all branches of the military (her family has served in every branch except the Marines), she wanted a blue Christmas tree but couldn’t find one locally or one that didn’t cost a fortune.

Drawing from her artistic background and work with Fantasy of Trees, Perry found the perfect white tree and transformed it into a beautiful work of art using metallic blue paint and decorations she has collected over the years. The tree features ornaments that are special to Perry, including ornaments from the White House, Bob Hope figurines, flag lights and so many other items that speak of peace, service and honor.

Former Lakeshore chaplain witness to changes

Allred; “Jingle Bells” with soloists Tye Sharp, Curtis Allred, Brandon Barnes and Luke Nightwine; and finally, “Christmas Rap” with soloists Brandon Barnes and Matthew Underwood.

The PHS Singers scattered throughout the audience and sang “In Silent Night.”

The quartet Party of Four, consisting of Katlyn Householder, Emily Morrow, Whitney Pittman and Kelsie Shipley, performed “I Heard the Bells.”

The Concert Choir took the stage and sang “The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy,” “The Sleigh,” “In the Bleak Midwinter,” “White Christmas” with soloists Alex Strozyk and William Jones, and closed out the show with “Sleigh Ride.”

Wesley Kirkland and Brandon Hall handled the sound and lighting.

“When the news came out that they wanted to close it, somebody asked me what I thought, and I said they really closed Lakeshore 15 years ago,” said the Rev. George Doebler, who came to Tennessee in 1972 to become chaplain at Eastern State Hospital and stayed there for 13 tumultuous years.

still spending three days a week in his office at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Next to his door, there’s a photograph of a priest blessing the hounds at a foxhunt, unaware of the dog that has sneaked up behind him to lift a leg against the cleric’s vestments.

Doebler doesn’t take himself too seriously.

But he has lived through serious times. For example, before he started his clinical training program at St. Elizabeth’s, a huge, federal-

ly funded psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C., he took a detour through the Dallas County, Ala., jail.

It happened like this: “Dr. Martin Luther King had been down in Selma (Alabama) registering voters. We’re sitting in an ethics class (in Dubuque, Iowa) saying ‘What do you do with this?’ One guy said, ‘We’ve got to go down there.’ So we decided to go for three days to show our support for King. We got down there and got thrown in jail.”

“He thanked us for being there. He was just a little guy, not very tall. We slept in the bell tower of the church and listened to him preach every night. He could really George Doebler Photo by Betty preach. Very well trained. Bean Some people look at you, To page A-3 and they look straight

through your head. That’s how he was. He was one of those people who comes at a certain time, and the time is ready. Three weeks later, I was in Washington and missed my first interview at St. Elizabeth’s.”

Once he got there, Doebler found that practices like hydrotherapy – whereby patients were strapped into a chair and bombed by a water cannon shooting high velocity streams – were still in use. But changes were coming, dictated by the Community Mental Health Care Act, championed by John F. Kennedy, which had passed in 1963.

Doebler and psychiatrist John Marshall, who later became the superintendent of Eastern State Hospital in Knoxville, pioneered community mental health at St. Elizabeth’s. Doebler’s wife, Nancy, was a psychiatric nurse there, as well.

Not long before Marshall took the helm at Eastern State, the hospital was rocked by a devastating exposé that brought attention to the deplorable conditions there. Although funding was always an issue, with the encouragement of reform-minded Commissioner Richard Treadway and the help of new medications and treatment methods, Marshall started making progress. Doebler was soon training clergy to do aftercare and eventually had 20 to 30 pastors working with him.

But in 1975, Ray Blanton was elected and everything got hard.

“Blanton was using those jobs as political payoff. I told him we couldn’t do it, that we had a job description

and strict requirements, and Treadway stuck with us. By 1978, we had a lot of programs to bring community clergy in, working with the mentally ill. It was just a fun thing to be doing, but they asked John Marshall to step down,” Doebler said.

“I was chief of chaplains and had brought in some very skilled people, four of them trained in Washington as community clergy.

We had a whole network across the state. John did a lot in the community. He was very open and pretty outspoken – he said the community needs to know what’s going on inside. But I’ll bet you can’t find 10 articles from 1990 until now about Lakeshore. Blanton ruined everything.”

In 1985, Doebler went to UT Medical Center to start the chaplaincy program there. He has enjoyed great success. He served as executive director of the association of Mental Health Clergy for 22 years, raised $5 million to endow UTMC’s chaplaincy program and, along

with Nancy, received the 2010 Helen Ross McNabb Spirit Award honoring their mental health work.

He still sees patients from Lakeshore, including “one lady I’ve been seeing for 18 years, for nothing – these people have no money. She’ll call at 3, 4 in the morning when she hears voices. She’s being treated

by Helen Ross McNabb.”

He believes Helen Ross McNabb will benefit from the shutdown of Lakeshore.

“They’ll do crisis intervention stuff,” he said.

“They’ll get the resources to do an even better job of treatment than they do now.”

He pulled out a black bound book published in 1984, titled “The Homeless Mentally Ill.” “You could write this today,” he said “The deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill was a good idea, but the only way it would have worked was to have the resources in the community.

You can do better treatment in the community than what would be done in a large institution, but the money has never stayed with the patient.”

Riley Clara Lewis had decided to join the human race. Riley is the newborn daughter of Craig and Noell Lewis.

Riley comes in weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces, and was 18 inches long. She entered this world at 9:34 a.m. on Dec. 20. Both mother and baby were doing well.

Riley’s mom, Noell, just finished her tour as the president of the Powell Business and Professional Association. She runs the Edward Jones office in the Powell Place shopping center.

The cool thing about Riley’s birth is that Noell and Craig refused to peek at ultrasounds to determine the sex of the little one – kind of old school in a way – we did that with my daughter 25 years ago. It’s kind of fun guessing and wondering and having all the rela-

Jarret: Jones can ride again

By Larry Van Guilder

Don’t look back “Don’t look back,” Satchel Paige said. “Something might be gaining on you.” Let’s look ahead to 2012.

January: Taking heed of Commissioner Dr. Richard Briggs’ complaint that The Development Corporation’s Midway property is “the crazy aunt in the basement,” local residents petition the courts to have it institutionalized “for its own good.” Over Chamber president Mike Edward’s protests, the property is involuntarily committed to the Lakeshore Mental Health Institute.

February: A group of influential Knox County developers back a bill in the General Assembly to repeal the law of gravity. “Just because Isaac Newton said so doesn’t mean water has to run downhill,” spokesperson May Flood says.

March: After losing to Phil Ballard in the Republican primary race for property assessor, John Whitehead challenges Ballard to a duel. Two days before the election, Law Director Joe Jarret shaves his mustache and defeats challenger Richard “Bud” Armstrong by a whisker.

April: The state closes Lakeshore and the Midway property is released, swelling the homeless population by hundreds of acres. “The crazy aunt” is denied lodging at Minvilla.

May: Although he has no opponent in the upcoming August general election, early polling shows Phil Ballard trailing. Ballard pledges to knock on every door in Knox County “if that’s what it takes to beat me.”

June: Commissioner Dr. Richard Briggs takes in Midway, promising to keep it busy with beekeeping until the county lands an auto factory.

July: Following months of heated debate, County Commission narrowly votes down a resolution that would have required 48 hours public notice when two or more commissioners simultaneously use the same restroom in the City County building.

August: The University of Tennessee football team loses an intra-squad scrimmage while gaining 6 rushing yards on 68 attempts. “Can’t anybody here play this game?” laments coach Derek “Casey” Dooley. A computer glitch results in John Whitehead mistakenly being declared the winner in the property assessor race. The error is swiftly corrected, but Whitehead challenges the Election Commission to a duel anyway.

September: UT women’s basketball star Glory Johnson joins the football team in time to catch three touchdown passes in a victory over Georgia State.

“Football is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical,” says coach Derek “Yogi” Dooley afterward.

October: The Midway property is rezoned “CC” (children’s commercial) and immediately lands a client when Mattel announces the revival of “Big Wheel” production. “It’s not Volkswagen, but it’s close,” says Commissioner Dr. Richard Briggs.

November: President Barack Obama winds down his re-election campaign with a brief stop at McGheeTyson Airport. Both local Democrats greet him with a standing ovation.

December: Connecticut women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma offers to renew the Tennessee-Connecticut rivalry if Pat Summitt defeats him in an arm wrestling contest. Pat wins hands down, and so does her team. The football Vols finish 6-6 and are invited to the inaugural Big Wheel Classic to face Powell High School. County Commission’s Christmas party fizzles when no one remembers to send out a public notice.

Happy New Year!

When is a “term” not a term? When it’s a partial term, says Knox County Law Director Joe Jarret.

Jarret has sent a memorandum to Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones bolstering Jones’ bid for re-election although he served the unexpired portion of former Sheriff Tim Hutchison’s term followed by his current full term.

Circumstances are similar for Register of Deeds Sherry Witt, who served a portion of Steve Hall’s term before winning election to a full term.

Jarret said the Charter doesn’t provide much guidance. It reads “no person shall be eligible to serve in any elected office of Knox County if during the previous two terms of that office the person … has served more than a single term.” But it doesn’t define “single term,” Jarret said, so the answer must be sought elsewhere.

The law director starts with the Jordan decision, in which the state Supreme Court upheld Knox County’s Charter and ruled the 1994 referendum on term limits

enforceable. That led to Black Wednesday in January 2007, but Jarret’s concern is for the language of the term limits petition.

In part, it reads “no person shall be eligible to Jones serve in any elected office if the individual has already served two full terms.” In the Jordan case, the court essentially ruled that the people had spo-

ken and the people intended to limit officials to two consecutive full terms.

Jarret cites the 2009 opinion of State Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins who said “partial service” would not count as a “single term.”

Jarret notes Goins relied on Chancellor Daryl Fansler’s opinion that former Law Director Richard Beeler was eligible to run for two full terms after serving two years of the unexpired term of Dale Workman.

Lakeshore land for play fields?

Patient advocates cry foul Will there be a battle over the 40 acres surrounding Lakeshore Mental Health Institute when the state shuts it down next year?

Betty Bean Mental health advocates say the city should pay for the land and the proceeds be used for the benefit of the mentally ill, as required by state law.

Park advocates say the acreage should be added to Lakeshore Park, which surrounds it. The sum of $1 has been suggested.

State Mental Health Commissioner Doug Varney hinted that he’d like to see

the land conveyed to the city, but pronounced the decision above his pay grade, citing the law that requires any such proceeds to be reinvested in the Tennessee Mental Health Trust Fund.

For Victor Ashe, it’s déjà vu.

Some 20 years ago, the former mayor got wind that the state was planning to downsize the hospital, so he took action.

“Caesar Stair, Tom McAdams and myself saw the potential for making it into a park, so we went to the governor. Parks was kind of my middle name, so I said, ‘Governor, do you have any plans?’

We worked out a deal to lease the donut around the hole, so to speak, for 20 years. I knew if it worked out well, it would stay,” Ashe said.

The only hitch was the state’s plan to build a veterans’ cemetery, which they fixed by crafting another deal to locate the cemetery in another part of town.

The 110-acre park with its spectacular views, baseball/ softball and soccer fields, playground, paved trails, restrooms and open spaces has been a smash hit from the get-go. The Harrington deed was conveyed to the city when the lease ran its course.

The only perceived down side was an uptick in the city’s homeless population, many of whom suffer from untreated mental illness, which brings us back to the question of the Mental Health Trust Fund.

Will Gov. Bill Haslam, who is a pay grade above Varney and whose brother, Jimmy, is on the Lakeshore Park board, decide to get around the trust fund requirement by cutting the city another sweetheart deal?

‘Bump backs’ add to city payroll The inauguration of Mayor Madeline Rogero was carried off flawlessly. With the able guidance of Judith Foltz, special events director, and Bob Polk, coliseum director, more

to themselves at future council meetings.

Marshall Stair caught everyone’s attention by throwing his arms into the air after his oath in a winning athlete’s pose. He is an avid canoeist. He is the only member of council to be fluent in Spanish with the retirement of Charlie Thomas. He is also the youngest member of council and Saunders is the oldest.

Rogero spoke for 13 minutes and extolled arts and culture as well as a green Knoxville.

She specifically mentioned South Knoxville’s urban wilderness. She pledged diversity and inclusiveness. The crowd was clearly excited by the historic nature of the moment. Her remarks were well delivered. All living past mayors except for Kyle Testerman were present: Haslam, Brown, Tyree and Ashe.

Haslam offered Rogero three pieces of advice: Be the mayor, be yourself and have fun. As a former mayor myself,

I can assure you he is right.

Missing from the first City C o u n c i l meeting was Law Director Debbie Poplin who will continue to the New Year before she becomes the federal court Nick Pavlis clerk. Deputy law director Ron Mills represented her. Also missing was longtime city recorder, Cindy Mitchell, who was looking after her husband, Richard Mitchell, who had been hospitalized a day earlier but is now home.

■ Rob Frost, former council member, indicated he would apply for the newly open position, hoping to work for the body on which he once served. Other attorneys are

It’s also déjà vu for Ben Harrington, executive director of the Mental Health Association of East Tennessee.

“I think the remaining 40 acres need to be sold – not gifted – to the city. It would be most appropriate to sell this, and the dollars be restricted to the Mental Health Trust Fund for use in East Tennessee,” he said.

Ashe worries about opening the door to problems if things go in that direction.

“In ’91, the state could have made millions – if you feel that multimillionaires need another subdivison. I would argue that recreation is good for mental health. It keeps people out of trouble.”

He said the property falling into private hands would be catastrophic for the community at large.

“It would benefit some private person, but do nothing for the broader community interest.” sure to join this process, which by law must be open.

■ While formal announcements were not issued by the mayor, Joe Walsh, Janet Wright, Becky Wade, Judith Foltz, Jim York, Bob Whetsel, David Brace and Tank Strickland will be continuing at the city. Not issuing public announcements on each of them was a missed opportunity to showcase their work as each is significant in their own area.

They merit public mention.

■ Steve King has been bumped back to deputy director of engineering. Brent Johnson will be moved back to stormwater and David McGinley will become a staff engineer in stormwater.

Both are also bump-backs. No change in pay is expected, but title and duties are modified.

■ Talk is circulating about a publicly funded nonprofit which is paying out very high salaries. County Mayor Tim Burchett knows about it and is appalled. Expect to be surprised by the amount and who it is.

Every grad has a story Every student has a story, but the stories of graduates of the Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy are almost always best.

That’s because those young adults rarely find their way to the school at the mall by means of a straight line.

Sandra Clark

By Larry Van Guilder

Hope Fritts is the 100th grad- Katie Hancock, who graduuate of the Paul L. Kelley Vol- ated early, speaks at graduaunteer Academy. tion.

Take Hope Fritts, for example. Recognized as the 100th graduate of the academy, she is a cancer survivor who fell behind in her schoolwork at Central High because of time required for treatments.

Mary Oxendine said her granddaughter is special and proves “there is hope.”

Diagnosed with brain cancer at age 5, Hope is now 18 and a high school graduate.

Brent McKenzie spoke at graduation. “I’ve always wanted to be in the military, and not only because I look really good in a uniform,” he joked. McKenzie said he wanted to make his parents proud and “Kelley Academy gave me a second chance when my other high school pushed me aside.”

Without a high school diploma, he could not have pursued a military career.

Now he can.

Proud parents, grandparents and family friends packed the ground floor area near Sears at Knoxville Center for last week’s graduation.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre spoke, as he always does. The nontradi-

tional school is named after a real person, he said.

“Dr. Paul Kelley is a great advocate for education and for kids.”

Principal Kim Towe said 12 of her 36 winter graduates received TN Achieves scholarships. “I am very proud of all of you,” she said.

Afterwards, McIntyre said he enjoys watching the graduates descend on the escalator. And school board member Indya Kincannon called it one of her favorite graduations. “It’s payback for those long school board meetings.”

“I don’t know where I would be without (the Kelley Academy),” said Katie Hancock, who graduated with top grades.

Hancock originally attended a church-affiliated school before transferring to Carter High. “Some of her Bible classes didn’t count and she found herself a year behind,” said her uncle, Mark Hancock.

“Here you can go at your own pace. It’s unbelievable.

She’s caught up and even graduated early. We are so thankful for this school.”

Nakia Moss, 17, had a literal cheering section of parents, grandparents, aunts and cousins. Her mother just beamed.

“Nakia is a special person, very loveable and kind-hearted. She’s my only daughter and my oldest child,” said Cassandra Ashford. She thought No Child Left Behind was just political talk, but she’s now a believer. “Nakia was so many credits behind. … No Child Left Behind ended up working for her.”

Nakia wants to pursue a career as a medical therapist, attending either UT or Pellissippi State.

Every graduate had a story. I only got to three of them before the chairs were removed and people resumed Christmas shopping at the mall. Thirtysix young people had just given their families and themselves a most marvelous present – a high school diploma.

When Larry retires, he can return as a freelance writer. Meanwhile, here’s our plan: I will resume the editor’s job while Shannon Carey steps up as general manager, handling administrative duties as well as sales management. Jake Mabe and Ruth White are still around for Halls, Wendy Smith for Bearden and Greg Householder for Powell.

LMU sues ABA

By Sandra Clark What happens when you mess with 200 law students, 16 law faculty and Halls guy Pete DeBusk? Why you sue the American Bar Association, and that’s just what Lincoln Memorial University did last week following the ABA’s denial of accreditation for the John J. Duncan Jr. School of Law located in Knoxville’s old city hall.

LMU serves full- or part-time East Tennesseans who otherwise could not obtain a DeBusk law degree, said Dean Sydney Beckman.

DeBusk, who chairs the LMU board, was blunt. “The ABA has been given the privilege of being the sole regulating body on legal education in the United States by the Department of Education. In this role, its task was to evaluate and accredit (our school) based on their applicable standards and our ability to deliver a top notch legal education.”

A perfect winter weekend getaway PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe According to a park brochure, winter is a perfect time to visit Cades Cove and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, if the weather cooperates, because the absence of leaves on deciduous trees allows for views not seen in the spring, summer and early fall.

L

ooking for the perfect winter weekend getaway? Head on over to the “quiet side of the Smokies,” which of course means Townsend.

Townsend has long been a favorite weekend getaway, particularly in the colder months, because it lacks all of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg’s congestion and is a short car ride to Cades Cove. We found an incredible deal at the Econo Lodge Inn and Suites Parkside on Lamar Alexander Parkway. For $79 plus tax, I got a generouslysized room (it looked almost like a suite) with a gas fireplace.

Forget about the dime-a-dozen chain restaurants. Townsend boasts several locally owned eateries. My favorite is Miss Lily’s Café, which is located at 7765 River Road.

You can find all kinds of delicious Southern dishes (plus dessert!) for lunch or dinner.

And, if you can catch the weather in a cooperative mood, winter is also a perfect time to spend part of a day in Cades Cove.

We were there on a Monday in the late morning/early afternoon earlier this month and more or less had the place to ourselves.

Well, other than about 150 deer.

I took my time walking up to the John Oliver Cabin, which is one of your first stops in Cades Cove. Be sure and take in the magnificent view on your way back to your car, too.

John and Lucretia Oliver were among the first Euro-Americans to settle in Cades Cove. It is believed they arrived by 1818 and had their cabin built by sometime in the early 1820s. It is one of the oldest structures in the Cove.

“Hewing logs for walls, painstakingly preparing notches and splitting shingles was tedious, sometimes backbreaking work,” says a park sign. “Building a log home was not the idyllic, pastoral labor we might naively imagine.”

In addition to the deer, we also spotted a good-sized red-headed woodpecker and, as we were leaving Cades Cove, a huge bird

Another added bonus to visiting during the non-peak time of the year is that you can quite easily set your own pace and take your time. The animals don’t seem to mind too much.

Park volunteer Ed Langton had a display set up near the restrooms and park store on the back side of the Cades Cove loop. Lying on the table were fur samples from bears,

foxes and even a skunk! Ed says the park orders them from taxidermists across the country as part of an educational display.

No animals that die in the park are disturbed, of course.

Ed has been volunteering in the park since he retired three years ago. He says the park service relies quite heavily on volunteers in the wintertime. He moved to East Tennessee with his job several years ago and says he loves the place.

“My wife is around here somewhere,” he said. She volunteers, too.

After we left Cades Cove, we ducked into Miss Lily’s Café for lunch. Afterwards, we drove by the locomotive that sits out front of the Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum.

Wintertime is laid back in Townsend. If you want to enjoy a relaxing, quiet, peaceful weekend getaway during the next couple of months or so, I know of no better spot.

How will we get to Bethlehem?

Let us see this king. (“This Child, This King,” Jane Griner) last people in the world one would expect to receive the best news in the world.

Their message comes to them from an angel, then an army of angels, singing “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace. …” (Well, to be absolutely accurate, the Bible insists the angels said those words, rather than singing them.

It is a fact that breaks my heart, but there it is.)

You will note there is not a single verb in the angels’ message: the angels are not describing events, but rather telling what heaven and earth will be like, now that this child has been born into the world.

And people start moving toward Bethlehem. It is almost like a movie script, with disparate characters moving from distant places toward the epicenter of the plot.

Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem because Caesar Augustus ordered a census.

It is astonishing to me how little attention we pay to the Gospel account of the birth of Jesus. We hear the words over and over again, and know many of them by heart. We hear the story, but do we really listen? Is our mental version of the story based more on carols and Christmas pageants than Scripture?

Luke spends a few lines setting the stage: the reason Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem, the emergency bivouac in a stable (or cave, as scholars posit), but only one verse on the actual birth: “And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.” (2: 7) Then the scene changes and we are in the field with the shepherds. They are lowly folk: despised, assumed to be trespassers on pastureland, or thieves of yearlings. They are the

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger.

Jamon Mitchell Thompson “White” celebrated his 95th birthday with family and friends Dec. 21.

Thompson was born in the Paint Rock community of Oneida, Tenn., in 1916, joined the Army at age 23, and served in World War II and the Korean War. He served his country for 22 years, obtaining the rank of sergeant 1st class. He also had a brief encounter with Gen. George Patton.

He married Reba Sexton Thompson and, after living

Old Vols rally in support of Bud Ford

abroad in Germany for several years, the couple moved to Columbia, S.C., where he took a job working for the state that he held until retiring.

Jamon now lives in Powell. Reba passed away in 2005. They were married for 67 years.

Powell Playhouse to hold auditions for ‘Steel Magnolias’ this week

He recognized the value of old programs, pictures and newspaper clippings, and faithfully filed thousands of information segments.

Harris was recognized by peers as the best in his profession. Ford, a little later, won the same awards. Together, they were outstanding.

Incidentally, Harris remained with the athletic department as historian after retirement. Ford invited Harris to continue as press box public address announcer. Harris made civic club speeches. He and Gus Manning, also retained in retirement, wrote books and did a radio show. As others came and went, they and Ford were the institutional memory of the Volunteers.

Dave Hart, new athletic director, vetoed the historian plan in early December. He told Ford the retirement date was firm, the end, no part-time continuation.

He did not give a reason.

He didn’t need one. He is the boss, authorized by the

chancellor to do whatever he feels is in the best interest of the athletic department.

Former Tennessee athletes say Hart has it wrong, that voiding the agreement with Ford is not in the best interests of Tennessee.

Jack Kile rose immediately in support of Ford. His message to the chancellor: “I am writing as a Tennessee alumnus, former football letterman (1959), past UT Lettermen’s Club president, former Athletic Board member, present T-Club Board member, 25-year donor to UT, and season ticket holder for football and both basketball programs. …”

Kile called for Dr. Cheek to solve the problem and report to UT alumni and fans.

Former quarterback Dewey Warren was among the first to speak out. His message to old Vols went promptly to the point: “Guys, the Big Orange had better start pulling together or we will be a thing of the past. We need some UT guys in here fast. Everybody here now is Alabama and Florida right down to the ticket sales.”

The Swamp Rat referenced a biting column of criticism

by Bob Gilbert, long-time university employee, honorary UT letterman and again a writer in semi-retirement.

Gilbert’s opening paragraphs were: “The Tennessee Vol athletics department, indeed, the university itself, is in the clutches of neophytes who appear hellbent on destroying its last vestiges of tradition and loyalty among the legions of UT alumni and fans.

“At the center of this carnage is Jimmy Stanton, whom then-athletics director Mike Hamilton hired to displace veteran Bud Ford as head of Vol athletics public relations. …”

Stanton, associate athletic director for communications, made no formal announcement. Hart didn’t say much. Dr. Cheek has been silent.

Jerry Holloway, former tackle and the key link that holds former Tennessee athletes together, has said a lot: “To: Teammates, coaches, former Vols, family and friends, “Thanks to all of you who have responded, many by phone, many by email to the previous message asking you to let Dave Hart (new UT AD) know that he will be making a huge mistake if he doesn’t honor the commitment made for Bud Ford to become UT’s athletic historian.

The line has been drawn.

Old Vols are gathering in support of Bud Ford. Dozens already with many more to come are urging the administration of the University of Tennessee to honor the “historian” agreement.

After just 46 years with the sports information department, Ford is retiring on Dec. 31. In negotiating his exit, Ford asked to continue as historian on a parttime basis for three years to oversee the transfer of records, documents, photographs and treasured memorabilia from old quarters in Stokely Center to new vaults and workrooms in the Football Training Center.

Ford was also going to write the definitive record book.

Mike Hamilton, then athletic director, approved the proposal and sent a signed copy to Dr. Jimmy Cheek, UT chancellor. Token wages of $20,000 a year were involved.

It was mostly a labor of love.

Indeed, Ford loves Tennessee records. He loves Tennessee tradition. He loves Tennessee. Since his days as a student, it has been a large part of his life.

While the late, great Haywood Harris was the front of UT sports information, Ford did much of the work behind the scene.

Powell Animal Hospital adds groomer

News from Rural/Metro

Hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning

By Rob Webb Roof repairs are common around Knoxville right now.

During one recent repair, a furnace vent was accidenWebb tally covered leading to a build-up of carbon monoxide (CO) in the home.

Fortunately, the furnace automatically shut down, the homeowner requested service, and no one was stricken with CO poisoning. But this close call points out the risks and dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning, especially during these cold winter months.

CO is an invisible and odorless gas produced by fuel-burning equipment, like furnaces, wood stoves and fireplaces. You can’t see or smell carbon

monoxide, but at high levels it can kill a person in minutes.

If appliances that burn fuel are maintained and used properly, the amount of CO produced is usually not hazardous.

However, if appliances are not working properly or are used incorrectly, dangerous levels of CO can result. Carbon monoxide from cars and other vehicles can also enter the home through an attached garage.

The Centers for Disease Control estimates an average of 21,000 CO exposures occur each year, resulting in the death of nearly 450 people. Infants, elderly people and those with anemia, heart or respiratory disease are especially susceptible.

In order to promote safe heating practices and prevent CO poisoning, Rural/ Metro suggests having fuel-burning appliances

BSP Deals launches website marketplace Tiffany Gleason, a native Knoxvillian and owner of Mystery Shoppers, has launched BSP Deals, a website designed to advertise and sell discounted products and services that small businesses need but might not be able to afford.

The operation is simple. A business lists its product or service at a savings to other businesses for a limited time. There is no financial investment required to be on the BSP website. Buyers pay BSP Deals which retains a commission and passes the balance to the seller.

If an offer has not sold by the time it rolls off the website, the business does not pay a fee. Info: www.bspdeals.com, TGleason@BSPDeals.com or 253-7093.

inspected and cleaned by professionals, and making sure alternative heating sources are vented properly. Additionally, every home with a fuelburning appliance or an attached garage should have at least one carbon monoxide alarm.

CO poisoning can often be mistaken for other illnesses, such as the flu or food poisoning. The most common symptoms include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and confusion.

If there is a CO leak, more than one person in the house will often suffer symptoms at the same time.

If you suspect CO poisoning or your CO alarm sounds, get everyone into fresh air immediately and call a qualified profession to check for CO. If you’re experiencing symptoms, call 911 for immediate medical attention.

By Greg Householder Just more than a year ago, the Powell Animal Hospital got into the pet grooming business when professional groomer Amy Nunn came on board. Earlier this month it doubled its grooming capacity with the addition of April Cox to the staff.

Cox, a single of mom of two, recently graduated from the Concord School of Grooming in West Knoxville with a certification as a Master All-Breed Professional Groomer.

With Cox, the facility now offers expanded grooming hours. Nunn usually sees clients on Mondays and Tuesdays, and Cox works Wednesdays through Friday and Saturdays by appointment.

Practice manager Valerie Ellis calls the two groomers “The Dynamic Hair Duo.” Grooming is an important part of an animal’s health care. Cox is trained to examine animals for problems with ears, skin, mouth and teeth. She informs the veterinary staff at Powell Animal Hospital and the owner is informed before the animal is treated.

Keating buys First Tennessee Title Longtime Knoxville title attorney Neil M. Keating has purchased the assets of First Tennessee Title, which will now be doing business as MAC Title Inc. d/b/a First Tennessee Title Insurance Agency.

Keating specializes in title law and this transaction continues his long-term work relationship with First Tennessee Title into a new phase. He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee Law School and has been practicing title law for more than 40 years in the Knoxville area.

The company offices are located 9047 Executive Park Drive, Suite 100, and may be reached at 690-0831 or docs@fttitle.com/.

Powell Animal Hospital dog groomer April Cox brushes down Daisy, a Maltese. Photo by Greg Householder Some pets “enjoy” their grooming session better than others. Pets who find the pampering a bit stressful sometimes require sedation.

Sedation is relatively common in the pet grooming world but at PAH it is treated much more seriously. Cox does not administer sedation – that is done by the veterinary staff, either by a veterinarian or a technician.

Sedated animals are monitored and what better place to be if one is to have an unpleasant reaction to sedation than a hospital?

Cox grew up in the Mossy Grove community in Morgan County. She has two daughters – Haley age 13

and Brianna age 12. She also has two Maltese dogs – Daisy and Maggie.

“I just love dogs,” says Cox when asked why she got into the grooming business.

She grooms cats as well.

“I was one of the few in school that was willing to do cats,” she says. Cats can be difficult to groom, especially when using clippers around their faces.

She generally doesn’t like to muzzle the animal unless it’s absolutely necessary.

“I treat my clients like I want my own dogs treated.”

Cox can provide breedspecific cuts or custom cuts.

Critter Tales It has come to my attention – thanks to an article by Rachel Kaufman on National Geographic’s website – that small spiders (specifically jumping spiders) have such little room inside their bodies that their brains will usually spill down into their legs.

That is disgusting.

What’s even worse is the bodies of baby spiders are usually too small to contain their brains, so their bodies will bulge until they grow a bit and are able to hold everything in.

Which brings me to the reason I’m writing this about this subject.

Many people have told me I’m ridiculous for hav-

ing a phobia of spiders. But how could someone possibly remain calm when they are confronted at night on their front porch by something furry, with eight legs and several eyes, it’s body bulging from it’s brain sticking out everywhere, that can jump on its dinner and wrap it up like a mummy before sucking all the life from it?

I don’t understand why horror movies are filled with zombies, or aliens, or anything large enough to keep an eye on while you

run the opposite direction to get away from it.

Spiders are small enough to climb into your clothing when your not looking and hitchhike into your house.

They could weave a nest in a corner and send out armies of brain-legged babies to take over your household.

Spiders can creep in under a door or through the crack in a window. I’ve never heard of a zombie that could do any of that.
