Kerbyson leaves hole at left tackle Tennessee’s Kyler Kerbyson, a splendid success story, is causing a problem.

After just five years, he is going away, maybe to the NFL. His departure creates a glaring hole at a critical position, offensive left tackle. It is unsettling.

Roads, roads, roads is county topic

By S B Sandra d Clark Cl k Half Time Pizza in Powell hosted a second community gathering organized by at-large Commissioners Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas. “We love to come here,� said Thomas. “Powell is like a little country. You are all engaged and if you don’t like what the county is doing, you just do it for yourselves. When is the ribbon-cutting for the disc golf?�

Thomas toured Powell Station Park with Justin Bailey prior to the meeting. He noted the remarkable progress made since he and Brantley hosted a community meeting here a year ago.

The dining area was packed with public officials and Powell residents. Discussion was open and everyone got her say. “This is like, uhhh, America,� said one participant.

The meeting was moved to Jan. 27 after a snow storm shut down roads on Jan. 20. It conflicted with a well-attended forum at Fulton High School on stopping violence, causing commissioners to leave early. Attending were commission chair Dave Wright, Charles Busler, Jeff Ownby, Brantley and Thomas (5 of 11) and school board member Patti Bounds.

Bill Weigel gets Younger award

By Ann Metz Jan. 25 marked a memorable evening at the annual Tennessee Veterans Business Association (TVBA) dinner for Bill Weigel, chair of Weigel’s.

Weigel received the Younger Entrepreneur Award, a prestigious accolade presented to three long-standing, business-holding veterans who have shown endless energy, passion and vision to create positive contributions to the local community, including veterans and their families.

Ken McMullen, president of Weigel’s and Army veteran, introduced Bill Weigel to the 360 attendees.

Kurt Weigel accepted the award in his father’s absence. “It’s a special honor to accept this award on behalf of my Dad this evening�

Kurt Weigel said. “The Younger Entrepreneur Award represents my Dad’s passion, spirit and vision to create opportunities, especially for those who gave unselfishly for our freedoms.�

Bid process not driven by low price

By Sandra Clark To believe the fix was in on awarding the contracts to build new middle schools at Gibbs and Hardin Valley, one must believe at least some evaluators conspired to tilt the outcome.

Analysis The five evaluators were: Katherine Ambroziah, UT professor and licensed architect, with degrees from Princeton and the University of Virginia. Since 2009, she has served as the primary designer and coordinator of the Odd Fellows Cemetery and Potters Field Rehabilitation Project in East Knoxville.

Hip replacement gets tennis player back into the game He discovered tennis in its golden years, back when Ilie Nastase, Vitas Gerulaitis and Bjorn Borg ruled the men’s courts. But almost four decades later, Kevin Simpson’s game was suffering. “For the longest time I thought that I must have a groin pull because every time I would go out and play tennis it would hurt,� he said. “I went a whole year with it, and then during the second year I thought, ‘I need to have this checked. Something’s not right.’ �

Indeed, something was NOT right. A chiropractor’s x-ray showed his right hip was bone-on-bone, and Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center conďŹ rmed it. “Kevin had end stage, bone-on-bone arthritis, a signiďŹ cant limp, pain when he stood and was particularly in pain getting up from a chair, in and out of bed, and in and out of his car,â€? said Dr. Yau. “His hip was also very stiff. He could not cross his legs, and even had problems tying the laces on his shoes. He wanted to be active again.

Play tennis. He wasn’t ready to call it quits just yet. Life was too short to sit it out.�

That is exactly why Simpson sought out Dr. Yau in the ďŹ rst place. Knowing other tennis friends who had undergone traditional hip replacement surgery with its lengthy recovery period, Simpson had heard there was a better way, a method that Dr. Yau uses for almost every hip replacement.

Called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement,� it’s a procedure in which the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip instead of the side or the back. This allows the surgeon to push aside important muscles and tendons rather than cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “My patients who have had one hip done

with the surgery, he made an appointment and was quickly impressed by the affable surgeon. “He stayed there and answered every question I had,� said Simpson. “He gave me all the time I needed. One of the nurses told me that he would stay with you all day if you needed him too. I told him what my goals were – I’ve been a runner all my life and wanted to get back to running and I want to get back on the tennis court.

And he said, ‘I don’t see any problem with that.’ �

On Sept. 28, 2015, two days before Simpson’s 59th birthday, he was being prepped for his surgery at FSRMC. “Right before the surgery, Dr. Yau came in and I told him, ‘I want to be the ‘Six Million Dollar Man.’ He said, ‘Well, how about a Million Dollar man?’ He had such a wonderful personality.�

A short time later, Simpson emerged from the recovery room a new man with a new hip and “feeling great.� That same day Dr. Yau sent him home to begin his recovery.

Kevin Simpson was able to return to the ten“The next day, the pain medicine was nis court not long after hip replacement surwearing off and I could feel some soreness gery by Dr. Paul Yau at Fort Sanders Regional and tightness there but nothing major,� said Medical Center. “The guy that was beating me Simpson, who was off his crutches by his like a drum when my hip was messed up, it second follow-up appointment. wasn’t even close.

I think I have been able to do even 2-3 years after the After hearing about Dr. Yau’s experience made a wise choice.�

‘Giant leap’ in hip replacement surgery Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is among only 15 percent of U.S. hospitals with the staff and facilities available to perform the latest approach in hip replacement surgery, called “Direct Anterior Hip Replacement.�

In this procedure, the surgeon goes through the front (anterior) portion of the hip, instead of the side or back.

This allows the surgery to be performed in between muscles and tendons instead of cutting through them to position a new hip joint implant. “When I ďŹ rst started doing hip replacement surgery this way, I thought it was just another option to access the joint, but people have done amazingly well with this approach,â€? said Dr. Paul Yau, an orthopedic surgeon with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “With traditional hip replacements, we have to cut muscles or tendons, which prolongs the recovery process and may require limitations on hip motion,â€? said Yau. “It is common to hear patients being told not to bend at the hip more than 90 Dr. Paul Yau degrees, squat, reach to the oor or cross your legs after hip replacement because it would risk a dislocation. “With the anterior approach, none of these typical ligaments are cut, which means all of these common activities are safe, immediately after surgery,â€? Yau explained.

The anterior approach does utilize a specialized surgical table and intraoperative X-rays.

“The specialized table allows for safe leg placement not possible with a traditional surgical table,� said Yau. “Better implant placement improves implant longevity.

I no longer say you have to be a certain age to get a hip replacement. “Traditionally, leg length discrepancies are a wellknown complication after total hip replacement. The use of live, real-time imaging during surgery improves the surgeon’s ability to make both legs balanced and symmetric in length,� he said.

With the anterior approach, the patient should usually expect just one night in the hospital. “Some people even go home the same day,� said Yau. “People recover so much faster it’s unbelievable.�

Yau said he began doing the anterior surgery routinely about two years ago, and uses it today for about 95 percent of his hip replacement and repair surgeries. “It does require special facilities and a speciďŹ cally trained staff, which we have at Fort Sanders. There are a lot of moving parts to the surgery and they all need to be coordinated or you’ll have issues,â€? he said.

Studies have backed up Yau’s opinion of anterior hip replacement. “You know how progress tends to happen in increments?� he asked. “I want to say this is a giant leap instead of an incremental one in orthopedic surgery. I haven’t seen anything this dramatically improve people’s outcome from surgery, ever.�

Anterior Hip Replacement:

What’s all the fuss?

What is driving same-day hip replacements? Easier recovery? Technological advancements?

Dr. Paul Yau says all those elements may factor into the equation, but he prefers to look beyond those and to the patient. That’s why, he says, the biggest reasons he hears from patients are these:

Patient Demand

■“I like my home, my bed, my food, my pet. Can’t you just let me go home?� ■“I like my work. I’m the only one who can do that job.� ■“My partner depends on me to return quickly.� ■“I can’t miss church.� ■“I have to preach on Sunday.�

Life Demands

■“I have a wedding / vacation – I have to work until ‌ and need to be ready by this day ‌â€?

Patient Realization

pectations and they just head home.

Their first PT session after surgery and we literally run out of things to challenge them.

They set new records for distance walked.

Patients rarely need anything from the nurses because they don’t NEED anything!

Anesthesia techniques have gotten better. There is just less to recover from.

Economy

■“I can’t take that much time off work. I don’t have that many sick days.�

Family Issues

■“My parents, spouse, dependents are sick. I need get back quick so I can care for them.�

ing Director Hugh Holt says he won’t open those bids unless the county’s lawyer instructs him to do so.)

The process worked against Construction Plus for sure. Owner Sandy Loy has touted design-build and CM Agency for 20-plus years. He’s successfully built projects all over East Tennessee, but has never landed a contract with Knox County government or schools.

Some say Sandy is political poison, he’s too intense.

But this proposal suffered from his lack of staff and overall glitz. He gave evaluators three choices for Gibbs,

showing his creativity, but his price was unopened.

Merit Construction was strong on team but weak on specifics, even including hand-drawn site plans for both Gibbs and Hardin Valley. Merit teamed with Studio Four Design, a lesser-known architectural firm. Yet Merit has built numerous projects including Hardin Valley and Gibbs elementary schools and Alcoa High School. Evaluator No. 3 doomed Merit’s proposals with three 50 ratings, the lowest scores given. Merit’s price lies unopened.

Joseph Construction

teamed with Johnson Architects, Daryl R. Johnson.

Joseph built Carter Elementary, Knox Catholic and several schools in Blount County. Johnson Architects designed Carter Elementary, under the construction manager, Partners.

Blaine Construction teamed with Cope Architecture, Lanis Cope, who designed Gibbs Elementary, renovations at Powell Middle and the new Northshore Elementary. The proposal included lots of specifics, but no bells and whistles. Blaine made the short-list for both Gibbs and Hardin Valley, but neither proposal was accepted, despite the best efforts of evaluator No. 5.

Retenbach Constructors teamed with frequent school architect, the Lewis Group, Jerry Lewis, to bid on Hardin Valley only. Retenbach just built the new Jefferson County High School and is currently constructing a new high school and dining hall at Tennessee School for the Deaf, also designed by the Lewis Group. The proposal was strong on specifics and team. Retenbach lost by just 10 points (449.38 to 449.00 to 439.81). Evaluator No. 3 was responsible for 20 lost points (Retenbach’s scores were 71-74-56-77-78).

This evaluator should appreciate anonymity.

Johnson & Galyon teamed with Michael Brady Inc., architects, to produce a futuristic design with lots of Gibbs powder blue and screaming eagles. The team emphasized its experience

with construction at First Baptist Concord and the Concord Christian School, which contains 42 classrooms for K-12 students.

Their proposal was strong on team and graphics, failing to make the short-list by just four points. Opening their cost bid could have pushed them to the front. They certainly won on “Wow!”

Random thoughts ■ Evaluator 5 gave Blaine Construction all 80s – the highest score. Blaine’s architect, Lanis Cope, has designed and overseen construction of numerous local schools. Two former school employees are on staff, according to Cope’s website: Dr. Charles Q. Lindsey, former superintendent, and George Whedbee, who formerly held Dillingham’s job. Here’s betting Dillingham was No. 5, ranking Blaine high because of his comfort with Cope and Cope’s familiarity with the school system’s standards.

■ Evaluator No. 4, however, rated Blaine 54 across the boards. I’m guessing that was the UT architect, Ambroziah, who marked down the institutional look of Cope’s drawings.

■ Price saved Rouse on the Gibbs project. At the end of the first round, Denark led with 388 points, followed by Rouse with 373 and Blaine with 346. Blaine, however, had the lowest price (worth 100 points), followed closely by Rouse (99.08 points) and Denark (67.45 points).

Marianne Ziegler: Urban decay, reborn beauty Urban decay doesn’t sound like something many people would want to spend time viewing. That’s before South Knoxville resident and artist Marianne “Ziggie” Ziegler gets her hands, and her camera, on it.

Cindy Taylor

“When people ask me what I do and what my medium is I usually describe it as digital photography with a current theme of urban decay,” she said.

Ziegler’s art is super-saturated, high-contrast work in a surreal layout completed with Photoshop. It is different than items usually shown in an art gallery.

Ziegler says she has always loved having a camera in her hand but put it down while pursuing an education in stage management and technical direction. It wasn’t until a few years ago Ziegler entertained the thought of showing her work.

She says her art was born from hard times that morphed into empathy for others even less fortunate

than her. At one point her income decreased drastiand she cooked food over bonfires in her backyard.

Shortly after she was able to get her power turned back on she ran into a homeless man buying a package of bologna and a tomato. Ziegler felt instant compassion. She invited him and a friend of his to her home. While there they cleaned up, washed their clothes and shared a beer with Ziegler.

“Sharing those hard times opened my eyes,” said Ziegler.

“From that moment I started exploring downtown areas where homeless people were trying to survive.”

Ziegler says she felt drawn to that means of living probably because she was almost on the brink herself. She took multiple pictures in alleyways, underneath bridges, outside decaying buildings and of graffiti. She learned to work in Photoshop, taught herself how to manipulate photos and the “Alley Cat” series was born.

Each of Ziegler’s pieces is a composite of 50-70 images slightly overlapping the other. She “stitches” them together then alters the contrast, saturation, hue, sharpness and brightness to achieve just the right look.

She then custom designs

Closing Commerce: The hottest topic was the closure of Commerce Road at the railroad crossing.

Enhance Powell is fighting the closure (which was approved by County Commission in 2003) because it will limit access to the businesses on Depot Street.

Martha Kennedy, Michelle Davis and Pamela Simmons from Nature’s Fountain were there, as was Amanda Smith from Clover Cottage and Gaines Arnold

From page A-1

from Arnold’s Garage.

Van de Vate was not optimistic about the railroad agreeing not to close the crossing, but he did suggest enhancements such as curbs and streetscaping to help the businesses.

He broached the idea of building a cul-de-sac on Depot just past Arnold’s Garage.

“It’s a mess now that will get worse,” said Amanda Smith. “(Powell Elementary) uses (the Commerce crossing), (First Baptist) uses it and lots of homes use it.”

Dave Wright promised to ask Law Director Bud Armstrong to review the documents.

“I’d like to see the crossing left open,” said Justin Bailey, but my second vote would be streetscaping for our most historic buildings.

Let’s make Depot Street a destination spot.”

Pamela Simmons added: “There are not many ways out of (Depot) that are not dangerous.”

Van de Vate said streetlights are not usually installed by Knox County, but it’s something “we could consider and absolutely do” if commissioners were supportive.

Sidewalk on Brickyard: One resident requested the county install a sidewalk along Brickyard Road between Beaver Creek and Emory roads. Afterwards, Ed Brantley said that was the best idea he heard. That short connector would join the sidewalks along Emory where most residents live to the new sidewalks on Powell Drive, which extend all the way to Halls.

Kerbyson is causing a problem Tennessee’s Kyler Kerbyson, a splendid success story, is causing a problem.

After just five years, he is going away, maybe to the NFL. His departure creates a glaring hole at a critical position, offensive left tackle. It is unsettling.

Terrific talent is returning at many positions. What started out as merely high hopes for 2016 has taken flight. Some seem sure the Vols will win the SEC championship. A few are having day dreams about the national title.

It’s right out there, in plain sight, can’t you see it? If you reach far enough, you can almost touch it with your fingertips.

Sorry to tell you that is a mirage.

Here it is February and

Marvin West

we don’t know who will be Kyler Kerbyson’s replacement. Or even partial replacement.

Could be Brett Kendrick.

He has some experience.

Could be Drew Richmond.

He survived a redshirt season and is said to have great potential.

Kerbyson was not an AllAmerican but he was a very valuable Volunteer, protector of Joshua Dobbs’ backside, often the key to Jalen Hurd gains. Kyler was a

natural guard, 6-4 and 312, deployed at tackle because the team had a shortage.

Two years ago, he was praised for versatility. In reality, he was just out front in a fire drill.

Kerbyson started 26 consecutive games. Some thought that was a fluke.

Strangely enough, fans pegged him as an overachiever. They kept expecting someone to take his job.

A coach or two eventually admitted that he exceeded expectations. They had miscalculated.

Kyler worked through assorted staff changes and waited three long years.

When he got a genuine opportunity, he played very well and emerged as a team leader because he knew what he was doing, would listen when

Kyler Kerbyson stragglers were confused and could provide guidance without condemnation.

Think about that rare combination of natural grace and acquired skill.

Kyler Kerbyson was destined to be a success. He was a strong student and a two-way monster at Catho-

The death of great aunt Cordelia Recent weather reminded me of hearing the story of the death and funeral of my husband’s great aunt, Fannie Cordelia Peters Parker.

Bonnie Peters

I had heard this story several times, but after my in-laws passed away and we were cleaning out the house, we ran across the funeral guest register for Aunt Cordie. To my amazement, I saw only about 20 people had signed. I knew it was a big family, and I had heard all kinds of good things about Aunt Cordie, so I asked, how can this be that so few people signed Cordelia Peters Parker

her guest book.

Sam reminded me of the blizzard of 1936.

Ordinarily, I would have thought, “Well no one must have liked this woman;� but with the circumstances two weeks ago (Union County Schools closed for five days) and with all the fine cars and good road equipment, many of us were still stranded by the snow and ice.

Thankfully, it was no worse than it was. Now, let me tell you about Aunt Cordie: Cordelia Peters Parker.

Fannie Cordelia “Aunt Cordie� Peters Parker was born Jan. 24, 1856, and lived all her life in the two-story log home that now rests at the Museum of Appalachia. She would be delighted that her home has been preserved.

My husband, Sam Peters, remembers his great

Aunt Cordie as do many of her grandchildren still living. Cordelia married Elvin Parker, a Civil War veteran, Dec. 22, 1878. Elvin simply moved in at the Peters home at their marriage.

Cordelia cared for her parents in their last years as well as her sister, Louisa, until her death. Those who knew her remember her as industrious, loving and generous. Since the home was close to the railroad between Knoxville and Luttrell, it was not unusual for her to take in hobos who wandered by.

She would welcome whomever needed a place to sleep or a meal. She fed them well and was gracious to all who came her way. She cooked many large meals and was always inviting guests for dinner. When her children and grandchildren

lic High. Forty-eight colleges sent scouts. Former UT assistant Dan Brooks represented Clemson. David Cutcliffe got involved on behalf of Duke. Kyler visited Durham three times.

He ended up with many scholarship offers, including Alabama, Florida, Southern Cal, Illinois, Maryland, UCLA, Stanford, Kansas, Virginia, even Vanderbilt. You do see the pattern. He could read and write and play.

He chose Tennessee more because of geography and loyalty than anything Derek Dooley said.

Kyler grew up rooting for the Vols. A grandfather, Jim Grubb, was a wingback in the 1950s.

Going orange was easy compared to the long hike uphill. He couldn’t win a job on three bad teams. Junior college all-world Dontavius Blair was brought in to be the tackle of the future.

In 2014, Kerbyson started every game but at three different positions. He was part of the group that could have gotten Justin Worley killed. That line led the SEC in sacks allowed.

In 2015, he was leader of the line that led the Vols to the second most rushing yards in school history.

There is satisfaction in such progress. Cheers.

Butch Jones likes Kyler Kerbyson. “He’s a rock of stability. I love everything about him and everything he stands for.�

As is the coach’s custom, he attached some big words -- resiliency, perseverance, consistency. “Always upbeat. I’ve been very, very proud of him.�

So have I. It’s good to see good guys go out a winner – even when they leave large shoes to fill.

came, she usually would send a gallon of sweet milk or buttermilk home with them, floating a pound of butter in the milk to keep it cool along the way.

Great nephew Sam Peters was 11 years old then Cordelia died Oct. 27, 1943. Her funeral arrangements were

by Sallings Funeral Home of Knoxville. Elvin Parker had died by the time Sam can remember, but he enjoyed going to visit his Aunt Cordie and remembers the house this way.

When entering the room on the right and looking ahead to the back door, there was a pistol hanging over the back door. Cordie’s loom was in the right corner of that room near the window. A bed was in the left back corner, and there were chairs around the fireplace. Even though it was late October when she died, it was terribly cold, and Sam recalls that their 1936

Chevrolet would not start to go to the funeral. His father, James Clarence Peters, pulled the car to the crest of the hill with his team and let the car roll down the hill to start.

The Parkers lived well.

When Chet Atkins stopped by the Museum after the house was reconstructed there he told John Rice Irwin that when he was growing up the house was in view of his home. He would look that way and long to live in a house like that, since it was the only two-story house around.

Granddaughter Varnell Donahue Schaeffner remembers that her grandmother loved to select “dress patterns� (lengths of material) at the local dry goods/ general merchandise establishments and frequently passed the material out to family and friends for a new dress.

Civil rights investigation proceeds The Rev. John Butler can’t understand why some county officials say they can’t understand why he’s mad.

Betty Bean “Did you not read anything we wrote?� he asked. “I’m not mad. I’m past the point of superficial emotions. What I’m asking for is a fair and equitable system, and we just don’t have it.

When you have people making decisions not on what’s a fair and equitable process, but on whom you’re going to please at this particular time, that tells you that you do not have a fair and equitable system.�

Butler was talking about County Commission’s 9-2 vote to proceed with construction of a new Gibbs Middle School despite his request for a delay while the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights investigates possible violations surrounding the decision to build the new school.

In 2015, Knox County Schools received some $30 million from the federal government. Butler warned that a finding that KCS is violating federal law will jeopardize future funding. “They promised a prompt investigation, and that’s what we expect. And since compliance is tied to receiving federal dollars, if Knox County is out of compliance with Title VI, they could be at risk of losing money. “So the question becomes, what’s the hurry? You’re putting the county in a vulnerable condition. If you’ve done nothing wrong, the investigation will be over quickly.

You could have waited two or three months, if there’s smoke and no fire. Why do you want to build a building that would put you at risk?�

The answer to that question probably lies in the sustained lobbying effort

by Gibbs boosters to re-

The Rev. John Butler heads the NAACP in Knoxville. store their middle school, which was housed in a wing of Gibbs High School until 1991 when the school board voted to close it, along with five other middle schools, three high schools and eight elementary schools as part of a comprehensive downsizing and desegregation effort.

Holston High was also shuttered, and its students zoned to Gibbs and Carter.

Holston became Holston Middle School, serving students from the Gibbs, Carter and Austin-East zones.

Gibbs and Corryton residents never stopped pushing to have their middle school restored.

Butler, who is president of the Knoxville Branch NAACP, wrote to OCR on Nov. 6, asking for an investigation into whether building a new Gibbs Middle School will trigger the re-segregation of Holston Middle School. He said the county, in recent years, has built new schools only in communities that are more than 90 percent white. “Conversely, minimal dollars or no new construction in schools with an AfricanAmerican population of more than five percent. We feel that this practice will ‘re-segregate’ Knox County Schools through the use of new capital construction,� he said.

His letter included a link to a June 16 WBIR-TV story about last year’s memo-

randum of understanding between the school board, the county mayor and the county commission, which authorized building new middle schools at Gibbs and Hardin Valley (both newcomers to the capital plan), a two percent raise for teachers and the sale of the Andrew Johnson building.

Titled “Segregation concerns stem from budget compromise,� the story included quotes from Mayor Tim Burchett, who said that building a new Gibbs Middle School will right a wrong forced on the Gibbs community by “an intrusive court system.� “They closed Gibbs in ’91 due to a desegregation plan,�

Burchett said. “Then the Supreme Court makes some rulings and now those kids (from the Gibbs community) are riding school buses over an hour a day‌ And we’re having to pick up the pieces‌ Anytime the government gets involved in that kind of thing, it causes problems ‌â€?

Great aunt Cordelia Cordelia had a little dog trained to go get her cows.

Every day about 4:30 in the afternoon she would call the dog and tell it to go get the cows, which it obediently did. The milk, butter, and other foods that needed to be kept cool were kept in the spring house.

Kraut was kept in a large crock and taken out as needed for meals. The youngest daughter, Bessie, lived at home and cared for her parents as needed.

At times, grandson Tom Donahue, stayed there during the week to help Bessie with the chores and to help

Grandson Virgil Hubbs, who owned the house and later gave the house to the Museum of Appalachia, was born in this house and when his father took a job out west, he chose to stay with Grandma Cordie.

Years later, while the house was vacant, thieves ransacked the house, stole the loom, the spinning wheel, the pistol that hung over the door and many other pieces of interest. Pictures and the family bible were strewn on the floor.

Some were picked up by grandson Radis Donahue

with his grandmother. After they died, Bessie took a job at Eastern State Mental Hospital; and, at age 60, she met and married Wiley Mason. In her youth, Bessie was engaged to John Henry DeVault who died. She never dated anyone else until she met Mr. Mason.

Cordelia raised geese and plucked them for pillows and featherbeds. She could spin her own yarn, weave on her loom and sew. She made many beautiful quilts, one of which is on display at the Museum of Appalachia.

Gov. Bill Haslam has proposed that the governance of several state universities be moved away from the Board of Regents and placed under six new separate boards for specific universities. This idea is pushed heavily by supporters of the University of Memphis.

There is no doubt that it will be enacted by the Legislature with some modifications to board appointments.

It is interesting that this new program of governance is exactly what existed prior to 1968 when I first went to the Legislature 48 years ago. In fact, it was Republicans and progressive Democrats who pushed for consolidation of these boards. Then-president Andy Holt kept UT from being swept into this new organization.

The reason for consolidation was to halt the infighting with winners and losers based on politics among these universities.

The Board of Regents did bring some order into the process.

Now almost 50 years later we are returning to the past led by a Republican governor. The General Assembly will insist that the governor share some appointments to these new boards with Speakers Ramsey and Harwell. They will prevail.

The governor and two speakers will have over 100 new appointments among them. Many of those will be highly prized, just as a seat on the UT Board of Trustees is sought today.

However, I predict in 10 years or less, the issues faced in the early 1960s will surface again. Just as surely as Tuesday follows Monday, the six new boards will compete with each other for funding. The Higher Education Commission will try, but fail, at imposing order as THEC will lack the clout which many of these new board members will possess.

There is also a risk that the UT Board of Trustees will lose some of its authority as there may be a push for UT Martin and UT Chattanooga plus the UT Medical School to have their own boards separate from the mother board. It would require the Legislature to achieve this. At present UT is not impacted.

Haslam’s motives are sincere and he feels he can avoid history repeating itself. Only time will tell.

■Marleen Davis, former dean of the UT Art and Architecture School and Democratic candidate for District 4 County Commission in West Knoxville and Knox County, had over 100 persons turn out at her Jan. 26 kickoff reception at Holly’s Gourmet Market.

Council member Finbarr Saunders, who is close to Mayor Rogero, was the master of ceremonies. He recently won re-election by a substantial margin to city council, but he also has a personal interest in this contest as Saunders was defeated in 2010 by incumbent Jeff Ownby who is seeking re-election.

Attendees included former TVA board member Neil McBride, former state Sen. Bill Owen, former Knox County school board chair (and current KCDC chair) Dan Murphy, architect Doug McCarty, attorney Randy Humble and Democratic party chair Cameron Brooks.

Davis said she preferred a non-partisan race as occurs in the city but would actively reach out to Republicans and independents in the August general election where she will face either Hugh Nystrom, Ownby or Janet Testerman.

Davis favors the Lady Vols name being restored to the women’s teams at UT. She is strong proponent of education and describes herself as a lifelong educator. ■Bill Owen recently won a fifth term on the Democratic National Committee, being elected by the state Democratic Executive Committee in Nashville.

Owen will be one of the most senior members of the DNC, which is the governing body of the national Democratic Party. When he completes his new term he will have served 20 years on the DNC. Will Cheek, who is also from Tennessee, has served the same number of years.

Owen is openly backing Hillary Clinton and says he was the first DNC member to pledge his support to her going back to 2006 prior to her 2008 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

and preserved.

A part of the family bible was found by the late Edward Corum, rebound and preserved. One of the bits of trivia about Aunt Cordie is that in her later years she would have the grandchildren pick up hickory nuts, acorns, etc. because she liked to sit on the porch and watch the squirrels play.

She would put out a basket of the nuts and when the squirrels would come on the porch to get them she would talk to the squirrels telling them, “I know you think you are stealing these nuts, but I put them there for you!�

Butler said Gibbs kids aren’t the only ones riding buses, citing Mechanicsville students who are being bused to Bearden Middle School and children who live within blocks of Vine Middle School being bused across the river to South-Doyle.

He predicted that the investigation will move quickly.

The initial OCR response was swift. On Dec. 18, compliance team leader Virgil Hollis notified Butler and Knox County Schools Superintendent James McIntyre that OCR has opened an investigation: “OCR will investigate the following legal issue: whether the district’s plan for constructing of Gibbs Middle School would result in re-segregation in noncompliance with Title VI (of the Civil Rights Act of 1964)�

Hollis presented a 16-point list requesting evidence, starting with the 2015 Brailsford & Dunlavey study of Knox County’s middle school needs (which cost $75,000 and found that no new middle school is needed in east Knox County) and including maps of attendance zones, records of current and projected enrollments, breakdown of enrollments by race, records of communications between county officials, including the mayor and his staff, notes and DVDs of meetings where school construction was discussed and copies of media coverage, and criteria and software used for drawing district lines.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts ple!

Some of that happens because of the sermon.

(My only comment to our young preacher on a recent Sunday was “Wow!�)

Some of it happens because of the hymns we sing and the anthem we hear. Some of it happens because we see old friends and make new ones and learn something from all of them. And sometimes, if we are paying attention, God Himself whispers a word of encouragement, or instruction, or blessing.

Occasionally, however, the word is one of reproof, which Scripture tells us gives wisdom (Proverbs 29:15), but no joy, at least in my experience!

So, next Sunday, when you go to church, let your prayer be “Fill ’er up, Lord!�

By Cindy Taylor It is difficult to drive through Halls without seeing a sign or billboard with a message from A Church Called Home.

Church pastor the Rev. Jason Creech mulled the idea of launching a new church over in his mind for several years before A Church Called Home came into being. He and wife Melissa are coming up on their fourth anniversary of leading the church. Creech says the billboards are the most recent way the church is reaching people for the Lord. “For us advertising is a form of missions,� he said. “We support foreign and local missions through our church. We cannot physically get to every home to meet the needs of our community but we can pray and fast for the families within our community and those who read our billboards.�

Creech says church members pray over then send out postcards as an outreach just as the apostles prayed over pieces of cloth and sent them through the region in Acts 19. “The Bible says that God did incredible miracles for those who received the pieces of cloth. We are praying for a breakthrough in the lives of those who receive our postcard invite.�

The church launched their online campus last month. More than 300 viewers have already visited the site, where the Sunday message can be viewed.

God’s Filling Station is the name of a real church!

At first, I frowned, thinking that seemed a little inappropriate – flippant, even. However, the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. It is exactly what happens to me on a Sunday morning.

The week can bring all kinds of challenges – frustrations, disappointments, things to do, fatigue, and, on occasion, even boredom! I can feel drained dry.

By Cindy Taylor Bells Campground Baptist Church has added two ministers to its staff. The Rev. Keith Tillman has taken on the role of lead pastor and the Rev. Stephen Burnett is the new music minister.

Tillman has served as interim pastor at Bells Campground since 2014. Although not Powell natives, Tillman and wife Victoria say they have come to know and love the area since moving here in 1998. “We fell in love with the people at Bells Campground when I served as interim,� said Tillman. “When they asked me to take the pastorate I happily accepted.�

Tillman began teaching at the age of 29, immediately after becoming a Christian, at his home church in Memphis. After moving to Powell the couple joined First Baptist Powell where they worked in the college ministry. Tillman accepted his first position as a pastor in 2007. He accepted the position as lead pastor at Bells Campground in November 2015. “Due to where our church is located we have the opportunity to affect many

Thomas is ‘Super Kid’ Elijah Thomas received a nice surprise last week when he was named Shoney’s Super Kid for January.

He was nominated by school administration and recognized for good grades, having a positive attitude and being kind to others.

Elijah, his family and best friend, Eli Whitehead, were picked up in a stretch limo at the school, went to radio station WOKI and were on air with Hallerin Hilton Hill. They toured the station and headed to Shon-

The Knoxville Symphony welcomed thousands of elementary school students from preschool through 2nd grade last week during its Very Young People’s Concerts held at the Tennessee Theatre and in Maryville at the Clayton Center for the Arts.

Titled “Let’s Tell a Story!� all three performances featured animated character Picardy Penguin on a big screen above the performers.

Picardy read Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf� while the symphony played and costumed performers from GO! Contemporary Dance Works acted out the tale.

Guest soprano Melissa Barrick Baldwin provided accompanying vocals, and symphony conductor Steven Karidoyanes interacted with Picardy from the stage. “Let’s Tell a Story!� is part of the Knoxville Symphony’s Education and Community Partnerships effort.

At the First Tee of Greater Knoxville, it’s about golf and kids. But what it’s really all about involves education, learning life skills and building character. That’s what is really being taught at the Williams Creek Golf Course.

The passion of the mission is heard and felt in the words from Diondre Jackson, the First Tee’s executive director since 2005, who spoke last Wednesday to the Rotary Club of Farragut: “We’re impacting the lives of kids and using golf to teach them the core values of life and the skills they will need to be successful at school and at home. We teach them about STAR –

Stop, Think, Anticipate and Respond.�

The 18hole Par 3 course, at 2351 Dandridge Ave., was designed by renow ned golf course architect Jackson Tom Fazio and is rated as one of the best Par 3 courses in the United States. Golfers of all ages play the course.

The focus, though, is on the children, ages 7 to 18, and Jackson says they serve the children from Walter P. Taylor Homes, Austin Homes, the Green Hill Apartments and four schools -- Sarah Moore

The After School Program – five days a week from 3-6 p.m. – costs $25 per semester. The program continues into the summer months as well. Again, Jackson says scholarships are available if the family can’t afford the fee. The First Tee also picks up the kids at their schools.

An admiring tribute to ‘tough people’

By Carol Shane On a recent Sunday afternoon, Lisa Hall McKee, artistic director of GO! Contemporary Dance Works, was finessing a bit of choreography for the company’s upcoming program. “Sweep your head down and then up,� she instructed Natalie Parent, who was performing a scene in Act One. McKee’s hand gently guided the young dancer’s head until the movement met her satisfaction. “In the Shadows of Pine Mountain: The Scots-Irish Exodus from Ulster to the Hills of Appalachia� is a lively account of 200 years of Appalachian history involving seven choreographers and 50 dancers.

The ambitious production features authentic elaborate sets and costumes, though recent snowstorms have affected their arrival in Knoxville. “All the Scottish stuff is still stuck in Kentucky,� laughs McKee. The idea for the show came about when McKee was writing a grant for the Tennessee Arts Commission last year. Recognizing that East Tennesseans have had multiple opportunities to learn about Appalachian history, she says, “I didn’t want to saturate the community. I wasn’t sure something like this would be supported.�

But she realized that her particular art form lends itself well to history. “Dance is seeing and living it,� she says. “It’s not verbal.�

Contemporary Dance Works artistic director Lisa Hall McKee puts the finishing touches on a dance sequence from the company’s upcoming show, “In the Shadows of Pine Mountain.� With her are Megan Ducote, daughter of Joey and Dr. Garnetta Morin-Ducote; Carlen Little, daughter of Ford and Malinda Little; and Natalie Parent, daughter of Leslie and Ken Parent. All three dancers are high school seniors. Photo by Emily Shane

McKee stresses that the first act will be about “tragedy and trials,� showing the expulsion of the Scots-Irish from England into Ireland

by King James I. “They had all kinds of problems,� she says. “They fought not only against the king’s tyranny,

Movie star Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) has bigger problems than just struggling to remember his lines in “Hail, Caesar!� The comedy written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen is about a day in the life of a studio fixer (Josh Brolin) who has a variety of situations to fix.

but against losing their physical connection with their heritage, which resulted in their exodus to the Appalachian Mountains in the 1700s.�

McKee admires that survivor instinct. “They were a tough people.�

The second act will show the challenges and triumphs of those survivors as they immigrate to America and establish lives in the Appalachian mountains. “We’ll have the highland sword dance and ‘The Irish Washerwoman.’ There’ll be

moonshiners and revenuers.� During my visit, young coal miners were applying “coal� – shiny black electrical tape – to the edges of shovels. McKee and company are big on details, and dedicated to painting as complete a picture as they can. Her intent is to give the old stories a fresh perspective for the modern age. “We are good at taking these stories and bringing history to life. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will think. It’s going to be fascinating, especially for the younger audience members.�

And it turns out that community interest in the subject is still thriving. “We’ve gotten a great response,� says McKee. “In the Shadows of Pine Mountain� will be performed at 8 p.m.

Saturday, Feb. 6, and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7, at the Bijou Theatre on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville.

There will be a pre-show patron event at 5 p.m. before the Friday performance.

Charlotte Rampling stands out in ‘45 Years’

By Betsy Pickle Marriage comes under siege from within in “45 Years.�

Wedded bliss tends to give way to something less electric over time. In their fifth decade together, Kate (Charlotte Rampling) and Geoff (Tom Courtenay) may have mellowed, but they still enjoy each other’s company.

They live a cozy retired life in rural England, where the channels of the Norfolk Broads offer a picturesque backdrop not often seen on film. Kate likes to take their dog for long walks. Geoff, who had heart surgery a few years back, seems somewhat less hale and hearty, and Kate worries about his memory.

She is planning a party for their 45th anniversary – they weren’t able to hold one for their 40th – and Geoff is reluctantly cooperating.

They have no children, but they have an abundance of friends who wish to celebrate with them.

A shock arrives in a letter

to Geoff. Swiss authorities have found a body that has been at the bottom of an icy crevasse in the Alps for 50 years. Shifts in the ice have made it possible to retrieve the frozen corpse – Geoff’s long-ago girlfriend Katya, who died during a hiking trip they took together.

Geoff told Kate about Katya when they were dating. What he didn’t tell her was that he was listed as her next of kin; they claimed to be married so they could share a hotel room during their travels. As days go by and Geoff becomes ever more obsessed with his memories of Katya, Kate tries to find out what else her husband has kept from her.

Director-writer Andrew Haigh adapted the screenplay from the short story “In Another Country� by David Constantine, and the mood of the fi lm is primarily low key. That’s not to say that viewers won’t feel the massive changes in the couple’s relationship be-

Geoff (Tom Courtenay) becomes obsessed with the past, unaware of how he’s hurting wife Kate (Charlotte Rampling) in “45 Years,� opening Friday at Downtown West.

neath the surface.

Rampling has always been able to convey a sense of strong emotions disguised by outward calm.

More than 50 years into her acting career, she has not lost that power. Her discoveries and reactions are the heart of “45 Years� and the

main reason to see the film.

They’re also part of why she has been nominated for an Academy Award for her lead performance.

Courtenay provides able support as Geoff. The degree of his obtuseness is the film’s biggest mystery.

Rampling and Courte-

nay’s resumes as icons of 1960s British youth-rebellion cinema give them an automatic authenticity as a couple. Recalling their early films – “The Knack ‌ and How to Get It,â€? “Georgy Girlâ€? and “The Night Porterâ€? for her, “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Run-
