In 2006, Amy Crawford returned to teaching after a threeyear leave. In her new 8th-grade teaching position at West Valley Middle School, she found herself teaching some of the same students she had known as 3rd graders at A.L Lotts Elementary.

“Once I got into the classroom and saw how the kids had changed, it was a real eye-opening experience.”

Powell: First impressions

See Sara Barrett’s story on A-9

You might not believe this …

Some former insider will someday tell a colorful tale of how Tennessee faked out rival recruiters and got away with a high school lad who grew up to be an all-American.

Besides the possibility of cheating and lying, football recruiting may include cloakand-dagger stories that are slow to spill out of the closet.

Wood ducks and warblers “January’s Noah’s Ark-type floods had not yet come to the Beaver Creek bottomlands when, on Jan. 5, we put up wood duck boxes in the wetlands along my stretch of the creek,” Dr. Bob Collier writes.

He takes you along for the adventure in this month’s column.

Comedies coming to Powell Playhouse

By Devin Harvey Performances are Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 23 and 24, of a pair of one-act comedies by the Powell Playhouse at Jubilee Banquet Facility.

We will visit Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and then the real-life Denney family portrays a self-absorbed clan with poor listening skills.

“Why, what’s a family for if not to listen?”

The production pairs two oneact plays performed in the same evening, spanning from the begin-

ning of mankind to modern day Knoxville. “The Diary of Adam and Eve” will be followed by “Louder, I Can’t Hear You!” The Saturday show is at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday show at 3 p.m.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door.

“We might learn something from seeing these plays,” says director Nita Buell Black, the founder of the Powell Playhouse. “We just don’t listen very well these days.

We’d be much better off if we listened to God and listened to each other. Please come join us for some laughs at ourselves.”

“The Diary of Adam and Eve” takes place in the Garden of Eden, with the world’s first male meeting the world’s first female. Things were going great for Adam – that is until this strange and annoying creature came along. She just won’t quit talking, he complains. Animals appear and react to their new surroundings, including a serpent with an enticing offer for the couple.

Christina Perkins plays Eve. “I don’t think our relationships have changed as much over time as we might think,” she says. “People will relate to the exchange between Adam and Eve.” Perkins also appeared at PPH in “Steel Magnolias” as Annelle. A native of Mountain City, she has also appeared with the Johnson City

Mandi Meek, 3rd grade and Beth Antone, 1st grade, were selected by fellow teachers as two who best reflect the qualities of teaching excellence. Because PES has a teaching staff of more than 40, the school was permitted two nominees who advance to county level competition.

Comedies coming er as the Dodo bird, Carly Johnson as the lamb, Gina Jones as the tiger, and Hunter Long as the giraffe.

Next, we meet the hapless Brown family in “Louder, I Can’t Hear You!” They are together, as in the same room, but they are entirely in their own world.

Marge is an exasperated woman who wins a “Mother of the Month” award, but no one seems to be listening to her. Fed up and angry, she goes to see a therapist for help, but it turns out he’s not much of a listener either.

Renee Denney plays Marge. “It’s an interesting experience living with most of the cast in reality, and then going to rehearsal and living with them again,” she says. Renee played Clairee in the PPH’s production of “Steel Magnolias.” She is a speech language pathologist for Curlee Communications.

Renee’s real husband of 24 years, Chuck, portrays her fictional spouse Oscar, whose listening skills are not his strong suit. Oscar is also paranoid about his neighbors, and has a whiny temper. “I’m trying to make Oscar as obnoxious as possible,” Chuck says. “But for the record, I always listen to

From page A-1 everything Renee says. I’d better.”

Chuck works for UT’s Institute of Agriculture.

The Denney’s 16-year-old daughter, Meredith, makes her PPH debut as Ann, a dramatic teenager with wardrobe and boy issues. Meredith is in theater at Powell High School, and appeared in the school’s production of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” She is also on the swim and track teams.

The Denney family also includes son Sam, a UT freshman.

Brandon Evans plays Junior. Brandon is also active in theater at PHS, and appeared with PPH in “The Night Is My Enemy.”

Joseph Redpaint Spillman portrays the psychiatrist who has issues all his own. Redpaint was in the PPH’s production of “The Savage Dilemma,” and has also appeared with Theater Knoxville Downtown. Jean Weeden plays the nurse.

She was in “The Night Is My Enemy,” and is a volunteer with PPH. This is the sixth production by the Powell Playhouse, Inc. Upcoming performances in 2013 will be “Puss in Boots” (April), and “The Odd Couple” (June).

Powell Elementary dren is the highlight of my day,” said Meek. “Kids seem to be maturing faster now and we are handing information to them more rapidly. All of the teachers here are focused on what we can do better together to help our students succeed.”

Meek said she was put on the earth to let her students know that no matter what their days are like outside the classroom, for at least one year of their life they have a teacher who truly loves them. She said academics are secondary, but only to love. She wants her students to feel safe in her classroom and have fun while they learn.

Antone said she became

From page A-1

a teacher because she loves helping children. She tells her students daily that she is learning just like them as she constantly seeks better ways to teach them.

“My ultimate responsibility is to educate my students in preparation for their future; not only the next grade, but their entire future,” said Antone. “As a teacher I am blessed with an amazing opportunity to help create future leaders.”

Both teachers said they value their selection because it came from their peers.

The teacher selected at the county level will move on to state for a chance to be Tennessee’s teacher of the year.

Ambassadors gear up for 2013

By Sandra Clark The 15 Reward School Ambassadors met in Nashville last week for orientation. And suddenly it’s starting to feel real to Powell High School English teacher Kristy Starks-Winn.

Starks-Winn won’t be at PHS next year. Instead, she will be working with the first cohort of ambassadors to assist teachers in school districts that request help.

“It’s a voluntary program,” she said.

Calling the orientation “really cool,” Starks-Winn said Gov. Bill Haslam thanked each ambassador, asked where each was from and called them “key” to his education program. Ambassadors also met with state

First Lions in nation with ‘vision van’

The Smoky Mountain Lions Charities Inc. will be the first Lions in the nation to have a vision van that makes eyeglasses on the spot for people who could not otherwise afford them.

Remote Area Medical donated a fifth wheel trailer – a traveling eyeglass shop – to the Lions who have worked a year to fix it up.

The Lions also purchased a small diesel flatbed truck to pull the trailer.

The Lions will begin with a “test run” before starting service.

The vision van will serve other areas in the Lions District 12-N. – Theresa Edwards

Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman and regional CORE directors.

“We’ve moved really fast (since being one of the first states to earn federal funds through Race to the Top), and now we’re finally getting the horse in front of the cart,” she said.

“There has been a real paradigm shift from the Capitol. Now it’s about providing schools with what they need to be successful.

It’s not punitive or a punishment. We want to help support teachers and schools.”

Starks-Winn expects to work with two schools next year, with another ambassador from East Tennessee working with two other schools. Both will be based

at a field service center.

How many teachers will she touch?

“Hopefully, every one in the building,” she said.

The ambassadors will be paid in full by the state next year while serving their residency year. Their expenses and benefits will be covered and each will receive a $10,000 bonus. In addition, their base school will receive a $20,000 grant to use for program enhancements.

Each ambassador will conduct “frequent and robust regional and schoollevel training initiatives” and generate a “toolkit of best practices” to share across their region and the state.

The ambassadors were

nominated by principals from Reward Schools – the top 10 percent of schools in Tennessee for performance and progress. Powell High was Knox County’s only high school to achieve this designation.

“There are schools in Tennessee that have shown impressive growth and reached high levels of performance thanks to their effective approaches to instruction and training,” Huffman said when launching the program.

“We want to make sure that other schools can learn from what’s working for them. The department is doing more to facilitate opportunities to learn from each other.”

Ridenour gets lease as KPD leaves mall The Knoxville Police Department is leaving Knoxville Center mall.

City Council approved a new lease for the East substation at its Dec. 20 meeting, and the police department was scheduled to move prior to the Jan. 31 lease expiration.

The new facility is at 4450 Walker Blvd. in space leased for $6,250 per month from J.S. Ridenour. The city had

been paying $9,458 monthly for space in the mall.

A city spokesperson confirmed the move and said it was at the request of KPD. “We have about 100 people who work out of the East precinct,” said Jesse Fox Mayshark. There are no other substations.

“We just ran out of space at the city’s Safety Building.”

In January 1997, thenMayor Victor Ashe created

City Hall in the Mall with the KPD precinct and representatives from the city’s finance department.

The East precinct serves the area east of Broadway, while the balance of the city is served from the Safety Building, Mayshark said.

“This will get us into the neighborhood and closer to those we serve.”

Leaders ‘make good things happen’ Ossoli Circle observed Leadership Day by inviting two accomplished leaders – UT President Emeritus Joe Johnson and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero – to share their thoughts on the topic.

Wendy Smith

Johnson, who served as UT president from 1991 to 1999 and interim president from 2003 to 2004, said leaders are those who make good things happen.

He was mentored by Andy Holt during the early years of his UT career. Holt had never supervised more than five employees before becoming UT president in 1959, Johnson said.

“He knew no more about running a university than my black lab dog.”

But Johnson learned from Holt to surround himself with capable people.

A talented staff should be turned loose – and occasionally supervised, he said.

He also shared wisdom from a book written by Jewish grandmothers, like “A meowing cat can’t catch a mouse,” “Go to bed with dogs and wake up with fleas,” and “No answer is an answer,” meaning if you see something amiss, you should speak up.

He’s learned from experience that two short sentences help things get accomplished – “Thank you” and “I’m sorry.”

Ossoli Circle president Lexa Hooten, center, poses with UT President Emeritus Joe Johnson and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero during the club’s Leadership Day. Photo by Wendy Smith A sense of humor can also smooth ruffled feathers and make life more fun.

“People without it are the most boring people in the world,” he said.

Rogero shared the story of her rise to the city’s top leadership position and encouraged members of the women’s club to get involved in politics. Each person has the power to transform the community, she said.

She followed the advice “Bloom where you are planted” when she moved to Knoxville 32 years ago. She came for her husband’s career, but the city wasn’t her first choice. She became active in the community when she joined the fight against the development of a travel trailer park near her North Knoxville neighborhood before the 1982 World’s Fair.

In early 1990, Rogero received a call from an elected official encouraging her to run for Knox County Commission. In addition to being a divorced mother of two with an ethnic name, she didn’t feel qualified to take on long-term Republican incumbent Jesse Cawood. But after putting together a list of friends, she decided to throw her hat into the ring.

Rogero was patronized for running her campaign by courting voters, rather than elected officials or party bosses. Her opponent once introduced her by saying, “This is Madeline Rogero. Ain’t she purty?” She won by a landslide.

“I have to say, nobody was surprised more than me.”

She joined veterans Bee

DeSelm and Mary Lou Horner along with Wanda Moody as women on the commission. They were later joined by Diane Jordan and Pat Medley, making six women on the then-19 member body, a record.

After losing her 2003 bid for mayor, Rogero took it upon herself to learn everything she could about the city. It paid off when her former opponent, Bill Haslam, appointed her community development director three years later. Since winning the 2011 mayoral race, she’s followed the advice given by Johnson and surrounded herself with good people.

Women can get elected, she said, and shouldn’t let fear of criticism keep them from leading.

“If you can’t run, encourage others to run.”

Billboard compromise draws criticism, praise The county’s 4-year-old billboard moratorium was set to expire Jan. 31, and outdoor advertising companies could have lined up at the door to pull permits Feb. 1 if Commissioner Richard Briggs had withdrawn his ordinances to ban conventional billboards and electronic message centers.

Briggs was sponsoring three ordinances – one dealing with conventional billboards, one with EMCs and one with digital billboards, emu lat ing the city’s Briggs ban, which prohibits new billboards and disallows converting conventional billboards to digital.

The weekend before the Jan. 28 meeting, however, Briggs decided that he didn’t have the votes to ban EMCs and “static billboards,” so on Saturday he posted a mes-

Betty Bean sage on the commission’s on-line forum announcing he would withdraw the first two ordinances and only push the digital billboard ban: “I have met with several of the smaller, local companies that are based in Knox County. Most are small family businesses that would be adversely affected by a total ban. ...

“The message I receive is ‘let’s regulate, not ban.’

“The owners are not opposed to sitting down with the MPC, environmental groups, homeowner associations, and local government representatives and working on regulations that everyone can live with.”

His announcement immediately drew criticism that he had caved to special interests.

“Absolutely false,” Briggs said.

“I did nothing until I talked to the whole leadership of (anti-billboard citizens’ group) Scenic Knoxville, making it clear that if we didn’t make a compromise, all three ordinances would fail.”

Briggs said he believed that he would lose the votes of Commissioners Ed Shouse and Mike Brown if he dug into an all-or-nothing position.

Commissioners Amy Broyles and Sam McKenzie persuaded Briggs to defer the two ordinances for 90 days and send them to the Metropolitan Planning Commission to add use-on-review requirements rather than to withdraw them.

McKenzie warned of “opening up a rabbit hole.”

Broyles argued that having MPC add use-on-review provisions would be “reasonable, simple, easy and it takes care of it without opening a whole big can of worms.”

The amended ordinances passed by a 6-4 vote with R. Larry Smith, Dave Wright, Brad Anders and Jeff Ownby voting no. Mike Hammond was absent.

Joyce Feld and Margot Kline of Scenic Knoxville are standing by Briggs, and say they are pleased with the compromise.

“Richard has been an absolutely fabulous partner in this effort,” Feld said. “He has stuck to his word and followed through on everything he told us he would do.”

Billboard interests are not happy with the vote, and dropped hints about lawsuits.

Briggs said he thinks he did the right thing: “You get down to a point where everybody’s drawn a line in the sand – all or nothing – but we would have had nothing if we hadn’t compromised,” Briggs said.

Ordinances must be approved twice, and this one will come up again in February.

Wood ducks and warblers NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Januaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arktype floods had not yet come to the Beaver Creek bottomlands when, on Jan. 5, we put up wood duck boxes in the wetlands along my stretch of the creek.

We joined a bright young lady who had crafted some excellent nest boxes as part of a Girl Scout Silver Award project. A family expedition, plus me, to find just the right places for the boxes and to put them up, brought us out on a nice mild January morning.

Lest you think that we were overeager, out there all bundled up, putting up bird nest boxes in the dead of winter, let me remind you that as of now, it is only two months until April! The owls are feeding nestlings, the purple martinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; average arrival date is Feb. 12, and the tree swallows will be close behind. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to be cleaning out those bluebird houses and, as we were doing, putting up more housing.

There are 85 species of North American birds that prefer or require cavities in which to hatch and raise their young. Before there were any people around, there were plenty of natural cavities, in large old trees with rotten places and holes where dead limbs had broken off. And the woodpeckers were, and still are, prime real estate developers, most of them excavating a new cavity each year for nesting, and often, a second one in the fall, for winter roost-

Republican clubs merge Two Republican clubs have merged, resulting in a new meeting place and date.

Michele Carringer, president, says the ofCarringer ficial name is the Fountain City and North Knoxville Republican Club.

The club wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet in February, but will gather at Louis Restaurant on North Broadway at 6:30 p.m.

ing. Then the cavity nesters lesser-equipped for excavating wood could move into the abandoned woodpecker holes.

Now, with a lot of our woods giving way to subdivisions and malls, and overachieving tidy types cutting all the dead trees and snags in yards and parks, nesting cavities have become scarce.

That whole situation was greatly compounded with the arrival of the alien, aggressive starlings and house sparrows. They take whichever nesting holes they want from the smaller birds, tossing out the hatchlings and often killing the parents.

On the positive side, a considerable number of our native birds have been given a significant boost in their numbers by humans making nest boxes. The most noticeable success has been with our eastern bluebirds.

The largest and most enduring housing development for the birds has happened because of all those folks who through the years have tended to their beloved purple martins.

But many other birds will take to a human-made home: owls, kestrels, wrens (when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not nesting in an old hat in your garage), chickadees, titmice, tree

swallows. And that brings us back to the wood ducks, and why the swamp people were down in the creek bottom in January.

There are actually two species of brightly-colored birds in our area that like to live in nest boxes in lowland watery places. The wood duck and the prothonotary warbler both nest in wateroriented habitats. Both like their homes leaning out over the water, if not actually standing in it.

Otherwise the two birds are about as different as any two birds can be. Wood ducks are water birds. They eat stuff that lives in the water, and their babies can care for themselves and find food almost from the moment they hatch. The warblers are regular bug-eating little land birds; they just happen to

like waterfront property.

Wood ducks are widespread now across the eastern United States, but by the early 1900s they had been hunted nearly to extinction.

Hunting laws were passed just in time, and then many wildlife agencies, as well as lots of private citizens, began setting out wood duck nesting boxes such as the ones we were putting up along Beaver Creek. Fortunately, the wood ducks have rebounded. They may be our most beautiful duck. Check out that male in his breeding plumage in your bird book!

Their family life is amazing, too. The females lay 1015 eggs. Then sometimes, other female wood ducks will lay their eggs in there, too, a practice called, appropriately, â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumping.â&#x20AC;? The first mama duck can end up with

two or three dozen eggs!

When the baby ducks all hatch, they climb out of their nest hole or box, and jump, bounce or splash depending on the nest location. If not near the water, mama duck leads them off, across golf course or busy highway, to the nearest water. The fuzzy baby ducks can swim and find their own food immediately. I have often seen a row of fluffy wood duck chicks swimming along Beaver Creek behind mama duck.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really nice scene.

Good news for humans: wood ducks exhibit what the ornithologists call strong nest site tenacity. They usually return to the same place to nest, year after year. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping our Beaver Creek nest boxes will have tenants this year and next year and on and on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep you posted.

That other water-oriented, cavity-nesting bird, the prothonotary warbler, also named the golden swamp warbler, is truly golden. They are named after certain Vatican officials who are dressed in splendid golden-yellow robes. The male warblerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

head, throat and breast light up a gloomy swamp like a ray of sunshine. I saw my first one from a canoe. The bird was making a nest in an old hollow stump by the dark, still waters of the Okefenokee Swamp, one of those instant and brief sights you never forget.

Prothonotary warblers live in most of the eastern United States, mainly south of the Ohio River. They especially like willow trees, because they are usually near or in the water and have soft wood that rots quickly to provide good nest holes.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of their nesting near the Island Home airport, and around the lake at Kingston. But my favorite place to hear their song in the spring, and usually see them, is Cove Lake State Park. The hollow willow snags standing in the water there make a perfect habitat for the golden swamp warblers. I try to go up and stand on the observation platform there at least once every spring just to get my yearly prothonotary warbler fi x.

Prothonotary warblers will use human-made boxes, too. They like boxes about the size of a bluebird box, only with a smaller entrance hole, about 1 Âź inches. This lets warblers in and keeps some (but not all) other problems out. They lay an unusually large number of eggs for a warbler, 8-10 or so. But their babies follow a more standard program and stay in the nest until they can fly. And, being out over the water, they have to get it right the first time!

Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they lay so many eggs. Birds can really be interesting.

A-6 • FEBRUARY 4, 2013 • POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS

There was a great tug of war for Richmond Flowers of Montgomery, Ala. Schools across America wanted him for football and track but the recruiting race came down to Alabama and Tennessee. Paul Bryant promised to hire a track coach and build a track. Tennessee had a track and a track coach, Chuck Rohe, and a bright, young football coach, Doug Dickey.

Bryant didn’t dig deep enough to realize he never had a chance. Richmond was fed up with how racial hatred in Alabama politics affected his father. He was going out of state.

Richmond also recognized the University of

Tennessee as a bit more sophisticated and cosmopolitan than Alabama, more of a melting pot. Tell your Tide friends it remains so.

UT assistant Clifton Stewart was point man in the long, hard recruitment of Stanley Morgan of Easley, S.C. Morgan’s commitment was a big prize for Bill Battle and his staff.

Joy soon took a strange turn. Paul Dietzel, then coach at South Carolina, told Battle that the Gamecocks had to sign Morgan or he would be fired.

Battle’s first coaching job had been with Dietzel at West Point. This dilemma was heavy. Bill owed a debt of gratitude to Dietzel but worked for Tennessee.

A Clemson source, monitoring Morgan, soon told Tennessee that the superstar was going to South

Carolina. Clifton rushed to Easley, to the little frame house with the old Plymouth in the yard. The Morgans were gone. Neighbors said Stanley’s mother had a new job, a new car and a new place to live.

Clifton found Mrs. Morgan. She confirmed that her new “opportunities” were related to Stanley’s decision to become a Gamecock.

A few days later, she called Tennessee. She had quit her job, given up the new house and given back the new Lincoln. She said her son had not smiled once since she had made him switch sides. She asked if Tennessee would still take him.

a bouquet of yellow roses.

For no particular reason, except that recently, he had asked me what my favorite flower was, and he always pays attention.

Both of us have been alone for a lot of years (that “solitary place” Isaiah mentioned), but fortunately each of us also had a friend who encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones, and take a chance.

I frequently ponder the fragile hinges our lives turn on. What if one of us had not heeded the encouragement of our friend? What if one of us had been too afraid to

meet a stranger in a public place? What if we had not felt like old friends from the very beginning? What if he had not had eyes as blue as my father’s?

What if, indeed?

But we did heed; we were not afraid; we did feel comfortable; he did have extraordinarily blue eyes; and I did – quite simply – drown in them.

I believe that “the wilderness and the solitary place are glad” for us. I believe that our families and friends are glad that we have found one another. I believe that God had a hand in this and

is pleased that we cooperated, and that our lives will be enriched by the joy and contentment we have found.

So what lessons have I learned from this unexpected journey?

Be patient. (God works in God’s own time.)

Pay attention. (You may not see a burning bush, but there will be signs.)

Keep your heart strong.

(It is a muscle, after all.)

Don’t settle. (When it’s right, you’ll know.)

And last, but certainly not least, God is good, all the time. (But sometimes, He excels!)

You might not believe this but …

Some former insider will someday tell a colorful tale of how Tennessee faked out rival recruiters and got away with a high school lad who grew up to be an all-American.

Besides the possibility of cheating and lying, football recruiting may include cloak-and-dagger stories that are slow to spill out of the closet. That’s how competitive recruiting is – a lot of stuff happens and almost anything goes but don’t talk and don’t get caught.

Return with me now to yesteryear, 1927. For some strange reason, Bobby Dodd and Paul Hug didn’t really want to be Volunteers. They rode the bus from Kingsport to Nash-

Marvin West

ville with the idea of playing for Vanderbilt. Dodd’s grades were suspect but both signed some kind of papers and were all set to be Commodores.

Robert R. Neyland did not like this news. He wanted Hug and would take Bobby to get Paul.

Knoxville sporting goods dealer Frank Callaway was appointed to investigate.

He drove to Nashville for

what he considered a rescue mission.

The rules of that day said a player wasn’t officially in school until he played a game. Callaway went on campus, found the players and explained their mistake. They repented, gathered possessions, squeezed into Callaway’s car and drove east on a sunny September afternoon.

Dodd and Hug enrolled at Tennessee the next morning at 10. They were called transfers. That afternoon they played in a freshman game, 45-0 over Murphy Institute.

Vanderbilt and others screamed foul. Neyland remained silent but supposedly smiled.

By Theresa Edwards The Powell High School winter guard performed to the song “Skyscraper” against a backdrop of a pair of lit skyscrapers resembling New York’s twin towers.

The performance was part of the Carolina Indoor Performance Association 2013 district winter showcase competition hosted by Hardin Valley Academy.

“Our mission is to give students an additional quality venue for performance and positive critique,” said Alex Rector, assistant band director at HVA. “This is a competition in the sense that units are ranked according to achievement. However, it is important for each individual to feel a sense of accomplishment.

“For this reason, we want to congratulate every student, instructor, director and parent who has dedicated the time and resources to give what it takes to be a

First Baptist Academy of Powell has done something it’s been trying to do for awhile – establish a full sports program.

After joining TSSAA just in time for basketball season, games were scheduled with local schools – both private and public. The team could not establish a full schedule for basketball, and leaders opted not to compete in postseason tournaments this year, even if eligible.

The boys first played Concord Christian School, losing 42-22. The February schedule (from the team’s website) shows games with Concord Christian (boys) at home Monday, Feb. 11, at 5:30 p.m.; Temple Baptist Academy (girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30), away, Friday, Feb. 15; Apostolic (5:30 and 7 p.m.), away, Thursday, Feb. 21. and a seasonending tournament at home on Tuesday, Feb. 26.

The teams plan on playing a full basketball schedule next season and will try to compete in postseason tournaments.

Basketball isn’t where

Cory Chitwood

First Baptist intends to stop, though. Earlier in the year, FBA had a cross-country season and a girls’ soccer season. Expansion will continue in the spring with a boys’ soccer team and a track team.

Other major sports such as football and baseball will have to wait as these would require a good number of students to field a team. As enrollment increases in the next few years, the school plans to implement these and other sports into the program.

Could the Powell Panthers have a new crosstown rival in a few years with First Baptist Academy?

It’s not impossible. As FBA builds, things might get interesting. And if you’re a sports fan, what’s not exciting about that?

Central grad enjoys L.A.

By Wendy Smith Former Knoxville resident Jason Hamilton has been a successful production designer in Los Angeles since 1996. He’s received industry recognition, like his recent Art Directors Guild nomination for excellence in production design in commercials for Budweiser’s “Return of the King” ad, which aired during last year’s Super Bowl. And he’s worked with numerous industry giants on commercials, music videos, films and photography.

But he has just one goal for 2013 – to spend more Central High School graduates Colby Woodland and Jason Hamilton visit on the set of Budtime with his family. Yes, weiser’s “Return of the King” commercial. Photo submitted he’s found success, but it’s come through hard work.

“We set the stage, in esHe’d have a hard time con- They graduated from Central reality, Hamilton explains. He vincing anybody that he’s not High School together. He met works closely with directors to sence,” he says.

Hamilton’s work is familiar to anyone who watches television. In addition to “The Return of the King,” which artfully depicts the end of prohibition, he worked on spots for Nike’s “Find Your Greatness” campaign that aired during last summer’s Olympic games. He also worked on the promotion for Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos tacos. That job had a nice perk, he says.

“I got to eat one of the perfect ones.”

Last fall, he traveled to Iceland to shoot an HP printer commercial set in a fishing village. A freak storm delayed filming for a few days, and he was happy to return to the California sunshine.

Hamilton has spent enough time around the Hollywood elite that he is no longer dazzled by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney. He worked with Clooney once, and says the actor was as impressed by the crew as they were by him.

People are people, after all.

But he admits to being starstruck twice. The first time was when he worked on his first music video with rocker Ozzy Osbourne. The second was when he and his wife, Cassiel, saw Paul “Bear” Vasquez, the star of a viral video about a double rainbow, at a restaurant.

The Hamiltons are the proud parents of two daughters: Izzy, 4, and Bowie, 2. They bring the family to Knoxville at least once a year to visit with Jason’s parents, Larry and Sharlyn Bolinger of Bearden, and James Hamilton.

The 17th annual Art Directors Guild Awards were announced on Saturday, Feb. 2, so winners were not available at press time. This year’s Super Bowl Budweiser commercial was also still under wraps at press time, but Hamilton shared one not-sosurprising detail.

“The Clydesdales are in it.”

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

‘Tearing Down the Walls’

By Shannon Morris Each year, Grace Christian Academy hosts Spiritual Emphasis Week for the middle school and high school students.

This year’s event, which was held Jan. 28 through Feb. 1, was called “Tear Down the Walls, Break Free, Twenty Thirteen,” and proved to be yet another powerful time of spiritual refreshment and renewal for the students and faculty.

The guest speaker, the Rev. Paul Woods, challenged students in the areas of breaking down any walls or barriers that separate us from being what Christ wants them to be. For students, those walls often are comprised of the typical negative temptations like drugs and alcohol.

However, even some things we might not think of as evil, such as social media, video games, movies and television, can distract us from our spiritual development.

Students were challenged to recognize and prevent such things from becoming walls that divide and distract them as they seek to follow God.

Woods is the youth pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla. He is the Professor of Youth Ministry at Trinity Baptist College. Serving in youth ministry for 18 years, Woods has a unique understanding of students in a Christian school environment, as he also assists at Trinity Christian School in Jacksonville. Woods was used

by God in a mighty way during this critical week at Grace, and our campus has experienced a fresh excitement about living for Christ in all areas of life.

Narnia comes to Grace

By Shannon Morris The Grace Christian Academy drama department cordially invites you to enjoy the upcoming presentation of “The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe,” based on the book by C.S. Lewis.

The high school drama department is proud to present this amazing story, which features a cast of 33 students (15 cast members and 19 extras).

The production tells the story

of three children who discover a wardrobe closet that, upon entering, opens the door to adventure and discovery.

The beautiful costumes for the production were designed

by Dewayne and Sandy Clift, and the incredible set was created by Jeff Delaney, who is noted for his work on the Nativity Pageant of Knoxville, along with the design skills of Karyn Sloas and Teresa McNelly.

This is a true dramatic presentation, as the show will have no music or choreography. The students, under the direction of GCA drama teacher Tonya Wilson, have been working very hard to create a top-quality show that both the school family and the public will be sure to enjoy. Join us at 1 p.m. or 7 p.m.

Feb. 12, in the Grace Baptist Church Worship Center. Admission is free.

Open house Feb. 10

By Shannon Morris Have you ever wished you could find out more about Grace Christian Academy?

If so, attending an Open House is the perfect way to get your questions answered.

Our next Open House is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb.10th. Here, you can meet some of our amazing teachers and staff members, tour the classrooms and facilities, and collect the important information that you will need as you consider Grace for your child’s education. Par-

ents and their children are invited, as are grandparents and anyone else who desires to get an inside look at the school. Beyond just seeing the physical location, you can also get a glimpse at the heartbeat of Grace, which is to lead, build and equip students to succeed, all in the name of Jesus. Please make your plans now to be a part of this terrific event, and allow us to help in any way that we can as you prayerfully consider your child’s educational opportunities.
