New life for old buildings in Historic Powell Station By Sandra Clark Perhaps it started with Frontier Communications and the $3 million grant we never got. The grant application process (and we did get $5,000 for playing) brought several Powell people together for weekly discussions of challenges and opportunities for what we termed Historic Powell Station. Bart and Cindy Elkins had already bought the former Herrell house on Spring Street and opened The Front Porch restaurant and primitive gift shop. We brainstormed ways to revitalize the Powell business district on Emory Road following the opening of Powell Drive, a bypass. Just last week, two significant parcels got new life. “Community Center� reads the sign on the former Wheeler Karate building. Led by Janice White, the Heiskell Community Organization has contracted to buy the building, hopefully with Knox County assistance, to create a much-needed community center.

Calling all Halls grads from 1966 Halls High School class of 1966 will be celebrating its 50year reunion Saturday, April 29, at Beaver Brook Country Club. These class members have not been located.

Across the street, the former Wheeler Karate School got its new sign: Community Center.

Big spending in two school board races By Sandra Clark The Board of Education currently leans 5-4 in support of Superintendent Jim McIntyre; but when Tony Norman, running unopposed, takes office in September, the numbers will flip. Whether that comes as a 5-4 or 7-2 majority will be determined by two elections on March 1. District 5 (Farragut): Karen Carson is stepping down after three terms. The front-runner is Susan Horn, a PTA activist most recently involved in the successful campaign of Jason Zachary. His opponent? Karen Carson. At last week’s League of Women Voters debate, Horn argued against excessive testing and called the TVAAS value-added scoring “crazy.� The daily paper has endorsed lawyer Buddy Pelot, whose mom, Barbara, grew up in Farragut and served two terms on the Knoxville City Council. Pelot lacked specifics at the LWV debate, but came across as calm and professional. He’s been active at Bearden High School where his

daughters attended. Lori Boudreaux resigned from Knox County Schools in 2014, where she worked as a guidance counselor. She says current evaluations including reliance on TVAAS scores are “not accurate assessments of teachers.� District 2: Tracie Sanger did not seek re-election in this North Knox and Fountain City district. Grant Standefer won the daily paper’s endorsement, chiefly because he’s not a teacher. Standefer is a former pastor who has headed the Compassion Coalition for 11 years. He lives at Beverly Square near Shannondale School. He says effective service is about relationships, trust and goodwill.

He advocates increased funding, teacher raises and more community schools. Jennifer Owen is a former teacher who now operates a small business. She won last week’s debate with clear answers. For instance, when candidates were asked how best to get students “college and career ready,� Owen said educators should lose that phrase. “We need to focus on the whole child and being able to work with other people.� As in Sanger’s race, a small group of donors are going all-out to elect their favorites. For the reporting period that ended Jan. 15, 2016, we see: Standefer raised $29,600 (against just $525 reported by

Owen). Of his receipts, 17 donors maxed out at $1,500 each. They were Doug and Carla Harris (he’s the current school board chair), Jim and Natalie Haslam, B. Ray Thompson, Sherri Lee, Rodney and Dell Lawler, Steve and Ann Bailey (she’s Jim Haslam’s daughter), Harry and Elizabeth Stowers, John Tolsma, Dr. Michael and Lisa Walsh, and Randy and Jenny Boyd. That’s $25,500 of $29,600 from 17 people – not one of whom lives in District 2. In District 5, Buddy Pelot raised $23,750. Of that, 14 donors maxed out. And look who they were: Doug and Carla Harris, Jim and Natalie Haslam, B. Ray Thompson, Sherri Lee, Rodney and Dell Lawler, Steve and Ann Bailey, Harry and Elizabeth Stowers and Randy and Jenny Boyd. That’s $21,000 of $23,750 from 14 people. At least some of them live in his district. Contrast that with Horn raising $5,105 from donors giving $20 to $500, and Boudreaux raising $3,295.

TEA warns of dangers of ‘toxic testing’ By Sandra Clark Does your kid dread school, get anxious before a big test or generally seem disengaged? These are symptoms of what educators call “toxic testing,� and some are actively engaged in finding a cure. Three staff members of the Tennessee Education Association were in Maynardville last Thursday to rally the troops. Sadly, their audience lacked parents, school administrators and most teachers. Yet Leigh Phillips, Rhonda Thompson and Tina Parlier made a lot of sense: ■Test and Punish is our current culture, led in Tennessee by Gov.

Thompson said, “Tennessee schools get top 10 results on bottom 10 funding.� She observed it costs $27,000 per year to keep one prisoner.

health & lifestyles NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK

Heading East Crossville heart attack victim benefits from collaboration between Cumberland and Parkwest medical centers Randy Brown remembers it as “a nice day” that spring afternoon last March when he decided to do a little work on his driveway. But as he pushed his gravel-laden wheelbarrow around, using a shovel to level out the uneven spots, something hit him. “It was like a heartburn that wouldn’t go away,” recalled the 57-year-old Crossville insurance agent. “I didn’t feel weak. I wasn’t hurting anywhere. I wasn’t hurting in my arms, my legs or even my chest. It wasn’t that bad a heartburn – I’ve certainly hurt worse in my life.” But when his wife, Kim, arrived home early from her job as a dietitian, she suspected her husband’s indigestion might be something more serious. She immediately took him to Cumberland Medical Center, Covenant Health’s 189bed community hospital in Crossville. “Cumberland Medical Center is growing its cardiac services on the Cumberland Plateau,” said Crossville cardiologist Dr. Vianney Villaruz. CMC’s cath lab performs a variety of procedures such as heart catheterizations and percutaneous cardiac interventions like angioplasty and stenting to open narrowed arteries. Patients who need more extensive procedures or emergency interventions can be transported to other Covenant Health hospitals – usually Parkwest Medical Center, which has been partnering with Cumberland Medical Center to enhance CMC’s interventional cardiology services. “When a patient comes to the ER, they immediately get an EKG and are triaged to see if there is something that implies the patient needs to be taken directly to the cath lab,” said interventional cardiologist Dr. Roger Riedel. De-

pending on the patient’s situation, a clot-busting medicine might be given. “When I told (CMC) my symptoms, they immediately took me in and ran some tests and did an EKG on me. They determined that something didn’t look right and that I needed to be transported to have it looked at or to find out what needed to be done,” said Brown. He had two options: to travel west to Cookeville or east to Parkwest Medical Center. “I chose Parkwest because of its good reputation with cardiac issues,” Brown said. He was taken by ambulance to the West Knoxville hospital. “We made very good time through the traffic,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that from the time I left Cumberland Medical Center to the time the procedure was being done at Parkwest, it couldn’t have been done any quicker.” Brown said there was no “down time” when the ambulance arrived at Parkwest. “I don’t think they stopped from the time I came out of the ambulance and went straight to the cath lab,” he said. “Within five minutes of me getting off the ambulance, they were getting me ready for surgery.” That’s because Dr. Riedel had found that Brown’s symptoms were not heartburn, but a heart attack caused by blockages of 9099 percent in one artery and 80 percent in another. Using catheters inserted through his groin, Dr. Riedel routed stents to the blockages. “Luckily, I had very little, if any, heart damage,” said Brown. “Everything went well. Dr. Riedel did a great job and I was back on my feet and ready to go the next day. I felt great. I was out of the hospital two days later and back at work in under a week.”

Randy Brown is all smiles after a life-saving heart procedure at Parkwest Medical Center.

Dr. Riedel also sent Brown home with heart medications and orders to see Dr. Villaruz for follow-up. “I’ve known Dr. Villaruz for many years, and he’s an excellent physician. He keeps close watch on me,” said Brown. Dr. Villaruz ordered medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation at Cumberland Medical Center. “I went about a month – they had really good facilities there,” Brown said. “All the equipment is up-todate, everything from a rowing machine to an exercise bike to treadmills. Everything is pretty much top of the line. I was impressed with it.”

With his heart problems now fixed, Brown can work in his yard again.

Today, Brown is satisfied with his treatment at both Cumberland and Parkwest Medical Centers. “The treatment was perfect, and I haven’t had an issue since,” he said. “I’m back on the job every day and feeling fine.” He’s also satisfied that he chose Parkwest. “We made a good decision,” he said. “Parkwest is really

close to the interstate – you can be there in just minutes. I think I was in Knoxville as fast as or faster than I could’ve been elsewhere. “There’s no way they could have done it any quicker than Parkwest. It was ‘Bang! Bang!’ And I was out and done. Obviously, they have done a lot of hearts and I trusted them because of their reputation.”

911 basics: Responding to a heart attack Heart disease is the leading killer in the United States. Knowing the warning signs of a heart attack and how to respond could save a life. The following guidelines can help you make the right decisions and take the right steps when seconds count.

Dave and Clare Crawford: Lion-hearted forever The lives of Dave and Clare Crawford have revolved around the Lions Club for so long it’s hard for them to remember a time when they weren’t Lions.

Cindy Taylor

Dave has been a Lion since 1975. Clare joined in 1987 in their home state of Virginia as one of the ďŹ rst women allowed to become a Lion. Between them the couple have 70 years of service to the Lions Club. Clare remembers her ďŹ rst exposure to the club.

“I had just met Dave and for our second date he took me to be a part of a service project,â€? she said. “We cleaned up the yard of an elderly woman, pruned her apple trees and collected the fallen apples to use to make cider for a Lions’ fundraiser.â€? Clare said she was given the “honorâ€? as a newbie of the ďŹ rst crank to juice the collected apples using an antique hand-cranked apple cider press. “It wasn’t until I had cranked for a while and worked up a really good sweat that they brought out a motor and hooked it up to ďŹ nish the apples. I found out pretty quick that Lions love to have fun and they have a great sense of humor.â€? Dave says the travel to international Lion Club conventions in places like Australia and Japan hold dear memories for him. The couple say they have traveled, met people and formed friendships that will stay with them forever. “The friendships we have developed and the skills we have learned would not have happened without the Lions Club,â€? said Clare. Both say the experience of being a Lion has enriched and changed their lives be-

community yond measure. Dave was instrumental in getting the local mobile vision lab up and running. He says that is one of the most satisfying things he has done as a Lion. “Knowing that you have helped improve the lives of other people and seeing how their lives have been incredibly changed is remarkable,� said Dave. “We have gotten much more out of being Lions than we can ever give back.� Dave is a past Powell BPA Man of the Year and Clare is a past Powell BPA Woman of the Year. Clare is the current secretary for Knox North Lions and Dave holds that position with the Farragut Lions Club. Both are past District Governors for the Lions Club. Both Dave and Clare were honored in December with induction into the Tennessee Lions Hall of Fame. They are each the first from their respective clubs to achieve that distinction. “This has been such a huge part of our lives separately and together. We will probably remain Lions forever,� they said.

Bridge: A tricky pastime By Nancy Anderson When Evelyn Jackson talks enthusiastically about bridge, she isn’t referring to Henley Street. She’s talking about a card game of strategy and excitement that jumped the pond from England to the U.S. in the late 1800s. Steadily gaining in popularity, there are a multitude of bridge leagues and tournaments across the country drawing enthusiasts such as Bill Gates and Thom Yorke from the band “Radiohead� who reportedly plays bridge hours upon hours with bandmates while touring. “It really is an amazing game,� said Jackson, who is a director at the Oak Ridge Bridge Club and teaches beginning bridge every Thursday morning at 9:30. “It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it really works your brain. There are two parts

to the game, bidding and tricks. You bid on how many tricks you think you can take, then you have to take that many. It takes strategy and focus. It’s a partner game, so you have to learn how to communicate as well. It gets pretty hot at the table sometimes, but we’re all in it for fun. It’s a great way to take your mind off your troubles and you’ll build a whole new social circle.�

Historic Powell Station From page A-1 Visionaries see a Powell Playhouse constructed on land in front with shared parking and cooking facilities. On Saturday, the metal façade on the former Groner store was stripped away to reveal a two-story brick structure with the faded name: J.E. Groner & Co. Justin and Kristin Bailey have purchased the building on the corner of Commerce Road and Depot Street with an eye toward restoring it. The building will continue to house Nature’s Fountain, which held open house last week to celebrate. Why buy property on the old road when trafďŹ c has shifted to the new? Justin Bailey wrote on Facebook: “Well, Kristin and I now own a piece of history. She was built in 1908. “Sometimes you buy an old building because you see what she could be. What she used to be. Because you don’t want to see her become a parking lot. Because you know that with a little help this forgotten corner of your town could be so much more. Because for some reason you’ve fallen in love with her potential. “And because somebody has to put their money where their mouth is.

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC

Free Radicals By Dr. Donald G. Wegener Free radicals are mainly oxygen molecules or atoms that have at least one unpaired electron in their outer orbit. In the process of utilizing oxygen during Dr. Wegener the normal metabolism within a cell to create energy, active free oxygen radicals are created. If these free radicals are not soon neutralized by an antioxidant, they may create even more volatile free radicals or cause damage to the cell membrane, vessel walls, proteins, fats or even the DNA nucleus of the cell. Medical literature refers to this damage as oxidative stress. Your one and only defense to oxidative stress and the free radicals are your antioxidants. Antioxidants are able to neutralize the free radicals and turn them into harmless and even helpful products that your body can use. An antioxidant is any substance that has the ability to give up an electron to a free radical and balance out the

ÂƒÄ„Ă€ $

un-paired electron, which neutralizes the free radical. Our bodies do have the ability to create some of their own antioxidants, but there are not near enough available. Therefore, it is best that you get additional antioxidants from food and nutritional supplements.

Your best defense is to have adequate or extra amounts of antioxidants available for the amount of free radicals produced so no damage to your body will occur. When more free radicals are produced than there are antioxidants available, oxidative stress occurs. Chronic degenerative processes will occur if this situation continues for a long period of time.

Vols rushing: Different world, interesting numbers Different world, different game, interesting numbers from now and then. With Jalen Hurd, Alvin Kamara and Joshua Dobbs carrying the ball most of the time, Tennessee rushed for 2,908 yards and won nine of 13 games this past season. The improved ground attack produced 32 touchdowns and generated considerable excitement. We complained, more than once, that dual-threat Dobbs simply wasn’t good enough as a passer to rescue the defense in games that were lost. Overall, he completed 59.2 percent, many dumps and dinks, for 2,291 yards and 15 scores. He might have had a few more if his receivers had performed at a higher level. Total rushing yardage was close enough to the

Marvin West

school record for valid comparison. Right about now, please fasten your seat belts to discourage jumping up and interrupting me. The undefeated 1951 Tennessee team rushed for 3,068 yards in 11 games and won the national championship. Tailbacks Hank Lauricella and Herky Payne and fullbacks Andy Kozar and Dick Ernsberger got most of the yardage and 40 rushing touchdowns. Now and then, tailbacks threw a pass. They completed some, 41 of 96 to be pre-

cise, for a grand total of 617 yards and 11 touchdowns. They hit 42.7 percent and “inaccuracy” was never mentioned. Lauricella got the ball more than Payne, made longer runs, had better passing numbers and won all-America recognition. He was runner-up in Heisman trophy balloting and should have won. He is in the college hall of fame. Herky scored more touchdowns than Hank. He was one tough guy. I report this as an eyewitness. I was a UT freshman in the fall of ’51. I thought the Volunteers were interesting. I recognized the single-wing as an efficient formation. Blockers often double-teamed opposing tackles or ends and created large openings. They

knocked some people down and stepped on them. Most Saturdays, that team made winning look relatively easy. Being only 17, inexperienced and from Powell, I assumed Tennessee would probably win game after game and year after year. Center Bob Davis, older and wiser, even though from Bluefield, W. Va., graciously explained in a happenstance meeting that I had watched a “once in a lifetime” performance by an unusual group of men, led by a legendary general and taught and tuned by a perfectionist backfield coach whose favorite saying in practice was “Run it again.” At the time, I believed Davis was exaggerating. I later learned he was spot-on correct, that I had seen one of the

greatest teams in Tennessee history, comparable to 1938, just a little better than 1956. Some of the Doug Dickey teams became personal favorites. The Sugar Vols had a terrific finish. I fully appreciate the 1998 champs. I remain hopeful that such an achievement might, sometime, happen again. Comparing then and now is apples and oranges but there are similarities. The 2015 Vols scored 59 against Bowling Green and 55 on Western Carolina. They killed Kentucky and should have scored a hundred against North Texas. Vanderbilt absorbed a serious whipping. The 1951 Vols beat up Chattanooga, Tennessee Tech, Washington and Lee, Ole Miss and Kentucky. They were favored by 14 over Ala-

bama and won by 14. Tennessee 1951 scored 373 points in 11 games. Tennessee 2015 scored 457 in 13. Aaron Medley and exciting kick returners skewed those numbers. Here is a significant distinction: The most recent Vols walloped Northwestern in a secondary bowl game. The older Vols were upset by No. 3 Maryland in the Sugar Bowl, the main event. Final polls followed the regular season. Bowls didn’t count. Bowl victories now trigger great expectations. Romps are like rocket launches. I expect the 2016 Vols to break the school rushing record – but need more than 11 games to do it. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

The mayor’s budget: a mid-year snapshot Have you been for a medical checkup lately? You know the drill. The doc and nurses check your blood pressure, palpate your throat, listen to your lungs, tap your knee reflexes, arrange for lab work to draw and analyze your blood and urine, and ask some probing lifestyle questions. The same thing happens when the mayor and council gather with key department heads and city staff for the mid-year budget retreat – without, of course, the harsh snapping of latex gloves... The city’s fiscal health, as well as the status of existing projects, department performance, and the administration’s planned directions were probed at the half-day, mid-year review last Friday. Finance Director Jim York reported that the city

Nick Della Volpe

is on track to meet its budget targets. Our bond rating remains top-tier (triple A by Fitch). There has been positive local sales tax growth of three percent, while other property and business tax receipts are static. A positive surprise is the lower cost of fuel, of which city vehicles and KAT buses burn a lot. Pension costs – no surprise – will continue to rise until 2020, when they are projected to level off and begin to decline as new hires come under the city’s hybrid plan. The city’s annual pension contribution is roughly

$24 million and will rise to $31.5 million in 2020, when the funding shortfall should be corrected. Cost of living adjustments add to the pension load. Current city employment hovers around 1,600 workers. The city continually reassesses workload and staff needs as employees leave or retire, consolidating tasks where possible. The new public service center at Lorraine Street could increase efficiencies there. Finally, the city, like the state, wonders how to fund road improvements as gas tax revenue shrinks. Property crimes have declined, although there has been some increase in crimes to the person since 2014. There were 12,367 arrests thus far this fiscal year. Police reported on efforts to clean up recent gang violence.

The fire department has handled some 21,467 calls, with first responder health calls accounting for almost half. KFD will request two new pumpers and one ladder truck next year, at an estimated cost of $2 million. We reviewed ongoing construction projects. Staff reported on streetscapes downtown, North downtown and Cumberland Avenue. Progress on the south waterfront and the public vetting of the Magnolia Avenue streetscape design were discussed, as were planned construction on Jackson Avenue and the ramp rebuilds. The state will tackle the aging Broadway viaduct reconstruction. Public works and engineering reported on the construction status of the public works complex on Loraine Street which will

hopefully open in the fall, with higher efficiency design features and staff consolidation. Parks and Rec reported on improvements and demolition of older buildings at the 185-acre Lakeshore Park. A private group, Lakeshore Park LLC, has vowed to raise $25 million to help fund the park build-out. Engineering reported on two major drainage projects that were completed in 2015: Prosser Road and Cross Park Drive. Hopefully flooding there is behind us.

cus on building a separate arena on the site. The east side tract has great parking and road access, hotel and downtown restaurant proximity, and is the logical choice. In addition, restaurants, pubs and shops might be built over the garages, as the site is evaluated. Big bucks are needed and financing will be a concern, with cost estimates in the $120-200 million range. There is a great opportunity for private and corporate donors to step up, and help build and name a new sports facility. They could build a legacy project that will serve millions over the next 50 years. Alternatively, managing public debt load will be a public concern.

Armstrong battles to hold job

Candidates at last week’s League of Women Voters debate: Andrew Graybeal, Jim Weaver and John Whitehead are running for property assessor; Nathan Rowell and Richard “Bud” Armstrong are challenging for law director.

Election is political and that’s OK Early voting starts today (Feb. 10) and the election is March 1 for two countywide offices and two school board seats. It’s called an off-year election, and back when voters were smart enough to elect a school superintendent, that race was on this ballot, too. It’s fitting that the countywide races will be decided in the Republican Primary, because one is fratricidal as Republicans struggle with what historian Bruce Wheeler termed the “otherness” of Appalachian life – the tug between modernization and tradition. Wheeler wrote, in reference to the Butcher banking failure, “(Many openly gloated over Butcher’s fall, but others) did not want to return to the past of hostility to change, of an enormously conservative banking community, of a city closed to outsiders and new ideas.” Wheeler simplified the contrast to Cas Walker (traditionalist) and those Cas

Sandra Clark

called “the silk-stocking crowd.” Those images still work. Property Assessor: Andrew Graybeal, the upstart, says “this office hasn’t had a fresh set of eyes in 37 years.” And then he runs an endorsement ad from Glenda Strader, wife of the late Parkey Strader, assessor from 1972 to 2000. John Whitehead was Parkey’s deputy and served as assessor from 2000-08 until term-limited. He hired Parkey as his chief deputy, even while he served in the Legislature, until Strader’s death in 2009. Former county commissioner Phil Ballard was elected and has served from 2008-16, now term-limited. Jim Weaver is his chief deputy. Weaver won’t say

whether he will hire Ballard, which probably means he will. Graybeal says too many assessments are too high. High assessments are never the problem. Property owners will appeal those. The corruption comes from assessments that are too low, giving special property owners a break while shifting taxes to homeowners and farms. There are no silk stockings in this crowd. Just pick a Cas. Law Director: Nathan Rowell wears silk stockings, while Bud Armstrong’s socks have holes – he’s been working a lifetime to pull himself up by those socks and bootstraps. Financial disclosures show Rowell funded by large donors, primarily the folks unhappy about the departure of Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre. When he talked about “the political climate,” McIntyre meant Bud Armstrong. Those same donors are all over

the financial disclosures of school board candidates Grant Standefer and Reuben “Buddy” Pelot as well. Rowell has the experience to serve as law director, but Armstrong has surprised many by handling the job well in his first term. The law director does not make policy. He or she simply gives advice, when asked, and represents the county in litigation. Armstrong moved the delinquent tax attorney inhouse, saving the county the outrageous fees paid private practitioners (including Rowell’s firm) in the past; he created a workers’ comp department and brought previously out-sourced work in-house. He’s proud of his record of winning, rather than settling, what he calls nuisance lawsuits. Rowell says he can run the office better than Armstrong. But somehow, when perusing his donor list, we think he would just give different advice. And that, my friends, is political.

The race for law director: Did somebody call 911? Some of Cynthia Moxley’s clients do business with local government, so she and her husband and business partner, Alan Carmichael, usually steer clear of election skirmishes unless someone named Haslam or Duncan – families with whom the Carmoxes have deep and long-standing personal and professional connections – is running. Their firm has a substantial online presence (Moxley has won numerous social media awards), and its website describes Moxley Carmichael as “East Tennessee’s premier public relations firm, providing comprehensive communications services to companies with a local, regional and national footprint. Founded in 1992, we’ve helped businesses and organizations increase visibility and achieve desirable results.” Last week, Moxley Carmichael’s blog, The Blue Streak, set tongues wagging by making a deep dive into the middle of the most

Betty Bean contentious local race of 2016, the Republican primary contest for law director between incumbent Bud Armstrong and challenger Nathan Rowell. Moxley and Carmichael entered the fray by sponsoring a reception for Rowell, and covering it on The Blue Streak. Moxley (who began her career as a newspaper reporter) hammered on the theme that Rowell, who has never before run for office, is a professional, not a politician, and entered the race only after much soul searching and urging from his professional colleagues and friends. “Friends, a law director needs to stand above politics, not be a tool of it. The issues are too important for advice that shifts with political winds. The people of

Knox County deserve representation that is based on the best legal advice possible — independent of special interests,” Moxley wrote. Clearly, the choir to whom Moxley is preaching doesn’t hang out in the courthouse, and her sponsorship of the Rowell fundraiser did not sit well with county politicos, most of whom like and support Armstrong, who also enjoys strong support from Mayor Tim Burchett. The majority of County Commission likes Armstrong, too, and there has been growling about what might happen the next time a Moxley Carmichael client appears before that body. This prospect doesn’t seem to faze Moxley, who gave a cryptic response when asked why she has taken this unusual step: “What else can he do to me?” In November, the E-911 board refused to award the Harris Corporation, a Moxley Carmichael client, a contract to provide a new radio

The county law director’s contest is only in the GOP primary on March 1 with early voting beginning today. It is a two-way race between Bud Armstrong and Nathan Rowell. No Democrat is running. Rowell has raised more money than Armstrong, the incumArmstrong bent, having defeated Joe Jarret four years ago. Armstrong, 65, is married and lives with his wife, Patti Jo, in the Ramsey community of East Knox County. Over coffee at Panera recently (I spoke with Rowell a few weeks earlier) he was clearly proud of his record and reducing costs in the county law director’s office. He says he has saved over $1 million in cutting the use of outside legal counsel. Cost is down to $260,000 a year. He says settlement costs are down from $700,000 a year to $300,000. When asked why, he says, “I don’t blink as easily. If you are going to get taxpayers’ money you have to earn it.” The office has 20 employees with nine of them being hired by Armstrong. He says he did not force anyone to depart after he took office. He took over the delinquent tax attorney duties from the trustee’s office and has saved over $200,000 a year. In the past, farming out the delinquent tax attorney duties to a private attorney was a lucrative benefit to the attorney. He says over $11 million in delinquent taxes have been collected over his four years as law director. Rowell is backed by much of the GOP financial leadership and friends of outgoing school Superintendent Jim McIntyre. They succeeded in electing Tracie Sanger to the school board last year, a non-partisan race. Armstrong has much of the traditional GOP worker base helping him plus Phyllis Severance, who is effective in running local campaigns. Armstrong is

system for Knox County even though the independent radio consultant hired to rank the appl ic a nt s rated Harris No. 1. And this Moxley is probably at the heart of Moxley’s beef with Armstrong, who, as the Shopper News reported Nov. 17, was approached a few months before the vote by Mike Arms, a lobbyist who represents Harris’s strongest competitor, Motorola, with three names to fill board vacancies. Armstrong passed these names along to the mayor’s office, and they got the appointments. ■ Dr. Ben Carson shows a When questioned, Armremarkable ability to snooze strong said he would have through GOP presidential done the same for Moxley, debates, rousing only to comhad she brought him some plain about lack of attention. names, an explanation that ■ Ted Cruz has an uncanny redoesn’t impress Moxley. semblance to Richard Nixon.

favored but Rowell is in the contest with an ample war chest. This contest proves again that the office should be filled by the county mayor with county commission confirmation. Some of the issues in this campaign have little to do with the qualifications of either candidate. Now is the time for a charter amendment, so the new county mayor in 2020 can appoint the law director. Knox County voters would have to approve such an amendment. ■ Two prior Knox County law directors have become state judges. They are Dale Workman, now retired, and Mike Moyers, chancellor.

Raymond Clifford “Cliff� White, born on June 5, 1892, was the son of Frank A. White (1854-1937) and Angeline Murphy White (1863-1941). Cliff was raised on his parents’ farm in the Hendron’s Chapel Community of Knox County near the Sevier County line, the seventh of the nine children who lived to adulthood. He had barely completed his education in the local schools and begun his life’s work when World War I, one of the deadliest conflicts in history, began in Europe in July 1914. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized. Before the war ended on Nov. 11, 1918, over nine million combatants and seven million civilians had died as a result of the war. Originally, the conflict opposed Britain, France and Russia (the Allies) against Germany and Austria-Hungary (the Central Powers). Eventually Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria joined the Central Powers. Casualty rates were amplified by the effective weaponry that followed technological and industrial advances in all the great powers. Additionally, the grueling form of trench warfare developed by 1916 placed the German defenders at a tactical advantage. Although the United States initially pursued a policy of non-intervention, that policy began to change when 128 Americans were lost at sea in the sinking of the British liner RMS Lusitania on May 7, 1915, by a German submarine. President Woodrow Wilson warned that the U.S. would

Jim Tumblin

not tolerate unrestricted submarine warfare. But, after seven U.S. merchant ships were sunk by submarines, he called for a declaration of war and the U.S. Congress declared war on April 6, 1917. The U.S. eventually drafted 2.8 million men and, by the last two years of the war, 10,000 American soldiers were reaching France each day. Among them were the members of the 105th Trench Mortar Battery, raised locally and attached to Gen. Cary Spence’s 30th Infantry Division. Capt. Ambrose Gaines was the driving force in the recruitment and organization of the unit between July and September, 1916, when the U.S. entry into the war seemed imminent. Under the command of Capt. Thomas F. Hazen Jr, they were first sent to Texas for border patrol early in 1917, but soon returned to Knoxville. Although the average age of the 183 soldiers was only 18 years, their commander later called them the “fighting fools� and said, “The rougher it went, the better they liked it.� The 105th Battery was called to state service July 25, 1917, and then to federal service August 5, 1917. After extensive training at Camp Sevier near Greenville, S.C., the unit boarded ship and docked at LeHarve, France, on June 14, 1918, and was assigned to the Western Front at Monol la Tour on Aug. 24, 1918.

Gen. John Pershing’s American Expeditionary Force (AEF) conducted some of its first operations upon arriving in France in the St. Mihiel Offensive (Sept. 9-17, 1918). The Germans had established the St. Mihiel salient which seriously interrupted French rail communications between Paris and the eastern segments of the front in the fall of 1914. To continue the drive toward the Hindenburg Line at the border of Germany, Pershing needed to relieve that major obstacle. The 105th Trench Mortar Battery engaged in their first combat at St. Mihiel on Sept. 17 at 2:30 a.m. when they fired about 1,000 rounds at enemy troops. When the battle ended, Pershing’s Army had taken 15,000 prisoners and captured 257 guns at a cost of about 7,000 casualties. They moved on to the Argonne Forest. Following the Argonne Battle, the 105th replaced the 101st Trench Mortar Battery and held their position until Nov. 15, 1918, four days after the armistice. The 105th arrived back in the United States March 3, 1919, aboard the Battleship Michigan on her last voyage and moved from Newport News, Va. to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. where the group was demobilized four days later. Many years later, on 50th anniversary of Armistice Day (1968), these members of the 105th would meet to reminisce about their service in the “War to End All Wars.� Those present were: R. Cliff White; Earl Dawson, plant manager of Ideal Cleaners; Harry W. Carr, an employee of Knoxville Utilities Board; Frank

“Pete� Lockett, president of the now defunct Jefferson Woolen Mills, and Frank Stansberry, former manager of John Tarleton Institute. R. Cliff White founded and managed the Fountain City Hardware until he sold it to John T. Roos in 1949. He married Edith Gray (1905-2000) who became owner and manager of another Fountain City landmark, the Village Vendors. A pillar of his community, White was elected Knox County Register of Deeds and served two terms (19501958). He was also a charter member of the Fountain City Lions Club and a recipient of an honorary lifetime membership, a longtime member of the Fountain

City Park Commission and its president for a time, and a member of St. Paul’s Methodist Church. R. Cliff White, 82, passed away on Dec. 26, 1974, at the University Hospital after a brief battle with cancer. He was survived by his wife, Edith Gray White, and two daughters, Doris (David) Dodson of Paducah, Ky. and Mary Ann (Donald) Connors of Harvard, Mass. After services at Gentry Mortuary, he was buried in Lynnhurst Cemetery.

OneLife Church is ‘hospital for the hurting’ By Cindy Taylor The Rev. Tyler Goode says the ultimate goal of OneLife Church Powell is to make a dent in the population of un-churched people in Knoxville. “Our long-term goal is to see the church plant a campus within 15 minutes of every person in Knox County. I would love to see our next plant in another part of Knoxville within the next two years.� Goode has been with OneLife Church more than six years. But that wasn’t part of his plan when he moved to Knoxville to attend the University of Tennessee. He earned a degree in Industrial Engineering but toward the end of his college years felt pulled in a different direction. “I was heavily involved in the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at UT,� he said. “That is where my love of ministry started.�

OneLife Church Powell campus pastor the Rev. Tyler Goode. Photo submitted Goode finished his degree but two months after graduation accepted a position with Grace Baptist Church in the media department. He had met OneLife lead pastor the Rev. Rodney Arnold during college. The two had often talked about their dream of starting a church together. When OneLife Church

launched in September 2009 Goode soon began the transition from the media department at Grace Baptist into the role of creative director for OneLife Church. When the church grew and launched a campus in Powell, Arnold was left with carrying the role of lead pastor as well as overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Powell campus. Goode knew it was time to make a change. “I felt God calling me to step up,� he said. “I made the offer to take on the role of campus pastor at Powell and our ministry leadership team decided that was the best solution.� That was eight months ago. Although it is part of his ministry, Goode says he has never been comfortable speaking in front of people. His favorite thing about his role at OneLife Church Powell is seeing people discover a new life because of Jesus

FAITH NOTES

Ashley Helton accepts ‘full-out’ calling By Cindy Taylor Halls resident the Rev. Ashley Helton will soon hit the one year mark as a pastor at Christ United Methodist Church. She felt called into ministry at the young age of 15 but says stepping into the calling of pastor wasn’t so simple. She says it wasn’t until seminary, seven years after her initial calling, that she realized she was called to be a pastor. “I am skeptical of people who say they have always wanted to be a full-out pastor,� she said. “Initially I thought I would go into youth or college ministry so I considered Young Life and various camp positions.� Helton said that when she told her grandmother of her calling the matriarch’s eyes filled with tears. Helton expected to hear the worst. Instead, she heard the story of how her grandmother had always felt called into ministry. As a Southern Baptist woman in the early 1900s she was not allowed to pursue such a calling. “My grandmother said she prayed every day since 1943 that a family member would be called into ministry. “Fifty-three years later that call landed on me.� Helton’s past ministry history included work with the homeless and non-profits. She says she thought that she might be able to appease her ministerial call by lobbying or being on staff for a non-profit. But that was not to be. “That full-out pastor gig kept creeping back into my mind’s eye and my heart’s center.� Helton majored in religious studies at Maryville College before applying to

seminary. She holds a Master of Divinity from The School of Theology at The University of The South, Sewanee. She was placed at Christ UMC in June 2015. She still says that she didn’t really choose ministry. “I believe ministry often chooses you,� she said. “Anne McKee, the chaplain at Maryville College, told me that if I could do anything else I should do it. I am in ministry and an ordained elder at Christ UMC because I have yet to find anything else that I can do.� Helton says what she most loves about her calling is that she gets to spend time with people as a part of her job. She says it doesn’t seem fair that she gets paid to do that; but she’s not complaining. “Being a pastor is more than being involved in worship services and visiting people. I don’t love the desk work but I am lucky to work with a brilliant team at Christ Church who make my desk time as minimal as possible. “The congregation is one of the best I have encountered.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts It is some consolation that we are all in the same boat: that we have all fallen short, sinned, messed up, failed. We have disappointed our Lord, ourselves, and others by our shortcomings. The only remedy for this situation is forgiveness – forgiveness all the way around. We need to ask God for forgiveness, our family and friends for forgiveness, and – God help us – our enemies for forgiveness, as well. Then comes the hard part: we have to forgive. If we can admit we have failed, that we are not perfect, we have to realize that others will fail, too. So, we have to forgive them. It’s right there in the Lord’s Prayer: â€œâ€Ś forgive us as we forgive.â€?

Our culture has turned so many of our holy days into holidays that it is rare that we approach a true holy day. Today is one, however. Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance and contemplation, and in some communions, a day of fasting. The origins of repentance go back to the beginning. When Adam and Eve disobeyed the commandment not to eat of the tree in the middle of the Garden, they were punished by being banished from the Garden and all its ease and security. Suddenly they were out in the world, on their own to provide for themselves by the sweat of their brows, and subject to hunger and pain and death. It is a humbling thing to have ashes imposed on one’s forehead, and to be reminded of one’s disobedience and sinfulness. It is also humbling (and itchy!) to wear that mark all day, confessing one’s sinfulness to the whole world.

Reyshon Dupree

Kensey Johnson

Earning

Eagle Scout honors Two members of Boy Scout troop 238 earned the status of Eagle Scout during a ceremony at Norwood Church. Reyshon Dupree is an eighth grade student at Powell Middle School and has been in scouts for seven years. Kensey Johnson is a tenth grade student at Rivers Edge Christian Academy and has been a Boy Scout for five years. The pair were recognized at a formal ceremony with state Sen. Richard Briggs,

U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. and state Rep. Roger Kane. Eagle Scout is the highest advancement rank in Boy Scouting. In the words of the Eagle Scout promise, Eagles do their best each day to make their training an example, their rank and their influence count strongly for better Scouting and for better citizenship in their troop, their community and in their contacts with other people. To this they pledge their sacred honor.

Malicoat signs with Johnson College Powell High senior Noah Malicoat signed to play baseball at Jo h n s o n University on Nat ion a l Signing Day. T h e Panther’s Malicoat left-handed pitcher and first baseman was called a “versatile player and very good pitcher� by coach Jay Scarbro. “Noah came to Powell High during his sophomore year and has been a key part of the two district championship teams. He’s a real team guy. He didn’t start high

school at Powell, but he’s all Powell now.� Noah selected Johnson because it had a nice, small town feel to him and is based on religion which is important to him. He plans to study business or communications while in college with hopes of working in the sports business or entertainment field. While playing at Powell, Noah has learned to be a good leader and example for others and a witness to everyone. Attending the signing were his parents Steve and Julie Malicoat, his sister Sara, grandparents, an aunt and uncle, cousins and his teammates.

Can you subitize? Up until the other evening, I had never heard of the word subitize. It means to perceive at a glance the number of items presented. It was explained as looking at a group of dots and knowing how many were present. Thanks to teachers at West Haven Elementary, I have learned a new word and its meaning. Parents and students gathered at the school recently to work together on math facts and played games to make learning even more fun. Students worked on building numbers for the 100 space value, worked on fractions and practiced adding and recognizing greater values, establishing a sense of numbers and even working on letter formation in the younger grades.

Valentine’s night out planning pointers

M

any couples go out for a night on the town in celebration of Valentine’s Day. Romance typically prevails on such nights, but there’s more to planning Valentine’s Day dates than just roses and chocolate. The following are a few tips to make sure this year’s Valentine’s Day date night goes off without a hitch. ■Make a dinner reservation. Restaurants fill up on Valentine’s Day, so make a reservation no matter how frequently you may patronize the place you want to go to. Nothing derails a dinner date more quickly than being told there are no tables available. ■Cancel the reservation if you must. If plans change and you cannot make it, be respectful of the restaurant and call to cancel your reservation. No-shows cost restaurants substantial amounts of money, especially on popular dining out nights like Valentine’s Day.

â– Arrange for transportation. If you plan to open a bottle of wine or make a champagne toast while out on the town, arrange for a car ser-

Explore flower meanings for Valentine giving

C

ome mid-February, florist delivery trucks can be seen making the rounds through neighborhoods all across the country. Such trucks are transporting thousands of bouquets, plants and other floral arrangements that serve as gifts on Valentine’s Day. According to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, florists take in

vice to pick you up after dinner or use public transportation. Drinking and driving is dangerous, and local law enforcement may even have checkpoints set up to protect residents from drivers who might have celebrated a bit too much. ■Bring cash. Few restaurants remain cash-only, but bring cash with you anyway just in case your card won’t swipe correctly. You don’t want to embarrass your date by leaving the restaurant to go get some cash, so prepare for this in advance. ■Review the menu. If you or your date has special dietary needs, peruse a restaurant’s menu before making a reservation so you know there’s something for both of you. If Valentine’s Day is a first date, ask your date in advance if he or she has any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

around $400 million in revenue on ValentineÕs Day. Roses may be the most popular flower come Valentine’s Day, but many other blooms find their way into the hearts of excited celebrants as well. Flowers can be used to convey love, friendship, compassion, and desire. In Victorian times, flowers were given specific meanings because only a few exotic

flowers were readily available, and many of these meanings have withstood the test of time. Giving a type of flower that signifies you just want to be friends may not bode well for a relationship when the recipient was hoping for more. As a result, it pays to understand the subtle meaning of flowers to make gift-giving easier.

Hydrangea: perseverance Iris: inspiration Jasmine: grace and elegance Lilac: first love Magnolia: dignity Marigold: desire for riches Orange Blossom: fertility Orchid: delicate beauty Pansy: loving thoughts Passion flower: passion Ranunculus: radiant Rose: pink: admiration/appreciation red: passionate love red and white: unity white: purity yellow: friendship Sunflower: adoration Sweetpea: shyness Wisteria: steadfast Zinnia: thoughts of friends

The Society of American Florists has compiled the above list of flower meanings from various sources. But in spite of these meanings, keep in mind you can always work with a florist to design a personal arrangement that speaks directly to that special someone this Valentine’s Day.

Snow time:

May we all keep our feeders full Like everyone else who occupies a place where the proverbial buck stops, UT Athletic Director Dave Hart has a record of doing things that lots of people agree with, and other things that a lot of people don’t. Northern Cardinal Photos by K. Woycik

Dr. Bob Collier

One of the latest flaps has been over the marginal state of the grass on ShieldsWatkins Field. The usual questions came up, such as why can’t we keep it looking like a putting green? ‌ and, who’s to blame? Director Hart came up with a press statement about why, and I agree heartily, at least with that part of his argument. He said something like, when it comes to growing things “in this area of the country we are in a no-man’s land.â€? Well, amen to that. And it’s not just about stadium grass, as you all already know. It’s about garden, fruit trees, you name it. One year your earlyplanted spinach gets frozen solid just as it’s ready to pick; the next year it’s so hot the spinach bolts and goes to seed before half of it can be harvested. A few select spots can grow apples every year (think Cosby) and maybe a few peaches here and there, but mostly we’re in a zone that can’t decide if it’s a cool climate or a warm climate. And it probably is, just over the next ridge.

Rufus Towhee at feeder

So what does the ambiguous weather around here have to do with say, birds at your winter feeder? In a word, snow. If you’re a bird that expects to be able to find natural food all winter, it’s hard to handle the unexpected. Snow doesn’t happen regularly around here, but when it does, it wreaks havoc on man and beast. My memories of winter in Knoxville, which by now span quite a number of decades, usually include clouds, gloom, dampness and chilly rain, seemingly on and on without end. The few snow events we have had usually stand out in our memories; for example, a trio of mine: The rain and gloom were interrupted, in the winter of 1951-52, by the answer to a 7th grader’s prayers, when one morning after we had settled in to school for the day, it began to snow, really pour snow. They let school out at noon (but no school busses ran). We gleefully walked home as the snow piled ever higher, power was off for days, Mom cooked on

jÄ?ŇŒŇŒŮĄ Ç­ jÄ?Ô?ŇŒÄ? Ä?ΏϨÉŒŮĄ

a Coleman stove, school was out for days. Glorious. Snow became less fun during the winter of 195859, as three of my friends and I commuted to UT from the Inskip area in a 1950 Plymouth. It snowed every week that February, and the snow was often deep enough to be even with the faithful car’s running boards (remember those?) But we were young, and it was still an adventure. Things got really tedious during the Blizzard of ’93, in the late spring. It was a real zinger that even Buffalo would have been proud of, with 3-foot snow drifts and temperatures as cold as Alaska. We were bottlefeeding a baby calf that had arrived the day before the storm, we didn’t see the ground for days, we could only get around on the tractor, and a lot of the wintering birds perished. By that one, we were definitely over snow. All these episodes and many others are normal daily winter life to those folks in Nebraska, Min-

nesota and New England, who probably wouldn’t have noticed any of those except maybe the big blizzard. If you know that the ground will be covered with snow from Thanksgiving till the next April it’s one thing; some select species of birds and animals (and human beings) are equipped to tolerate that sort of thing and do just fine in what seem to us, unbelievable conditions. But to be accustomed to big fields and roadsides rich with all sorts of seeds and creeping edible things, and have all that disappear overnight under even an inch or two of snow, can be a very big, even life-anddeath, catastrophe. The birds can tell when a big snow is coming. Veteran bird-feeders know that snow, with most of the natural food out there covered over, brings a huge increase in activity at their feeders, and it often begins a day or more before any snow actually falls, as the birds’ built-in detectors sense increasing clouds and wind, falling barometric pres-

Ů’Ů’Ů’Ń­Ď”Đ˜ĐŽŮ&#x;â€ŤŮ†â€ŹÎŹĎ¨Ď¨ÉŒŇŒÉŒÄ?ϨÓœŮĄŃ­Č—ĐŽĐ‡

sures, falling temperatures. So these erratic and aggravating snow events, tough on the birds, can be a real boon to the feeder-watchers out there. Once you’ve plowed your way through the crowds at the grocery store and obtained your life-giving bread and milk (one person suggested to me that all those people were going to make milk and bread sandwiches), you can sit back and watch all the action out there around your (hopefully) well-stocked feeders. Often during a snow storm you will see lots greater numbers of your usual birds. Where you might be used to 5 or 6 cardinals, you will see 25 or 30. White-throated sparrows? Instead of 6 or 8, maybe 18. And two or three times the usual number of chickadees and titmice, finches, thrashers, towhees and so on. There are often birds in the snow that you seldom see otherwise. This last snow brought out three husky, colorful fox sparrows under our feeders; we never see them in good weather. We had a pair of purple finches, some dark-

eyed juncos, a couple of redwinged blackbirds and several field sparrows. Everyone has to eat, and some prefer fresh meat. Which led to our most remarkable feeder spectacle of the recent snow. At one of the morning highs of feeder frenzy, with maybe 60 birds at or below the feeders, in roared a sharpshinned hawk like a feathered missile, panic-stricken birds scattering in all directions. Apparently missing its intended target and without even breaking stride, the small hawk blasted right through a backup dense spruce tree as if it weren’t there, and was gone. The event was over in 3 or 4 seconds, leaving the abandoned feeder area looking as if there had never ever been a single bird there. Winter feeding can be a lot of fun, very rewarding, and also immensely helpful to the birds, especially when one of our infrequent snow happenings comes in and covers the pantry with a layer of that cold, white, and potentially deadly stuff. May we all keep our feeders full.

The kings of the American musical By Carol Shane Who doesn’t love Rodgers & Hammerstein? This weekend, as part of the News Sentinel Pops Series, the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra will present an evening of the duo’s music under the baton of Maestro James Fellenbaum. Also performing will be Broadway stars Alli Mauzey, Gary Mauer and Williams MiMauzey chals, as well as the CarsonNewman Un iver sit y A Cappella Choir. K S O members are gearing Mauer up. They have favorite songs as well as fond memories a s s o c i ate d with the songwriting team. “I fell in love with all Michals of the songs in ‘Oklahoma!’� says cellist Stacy Nickell Miller. “I spent endless hours in the pit when our high school in Salina, Kansas, put on the production.� Miller admits she’s partial to the song “Kansas City� since she was indeed a Kansas girl, and she also likes “I Can’t Say No.� “The lyrics are hilarious and I still love to sing it to my friends.

to be a great singer to sing that one. As a matter of fact it is better if you are not!� Flutist Cynthia D’Andrea likes it too. “It always makes me laugh,� she says. “‘With or without the mistletoe, I’m in a holiday mood.’ No apology needed!� Cellist Andy Bryenton mentions “‘March of the Siamese Children’ from ‘The King and I.’ Such an earworm. I rehearsed that musical all day on my 18th birthday.� Violinist Elizabeth Farr likes “Out of My Dreams� from “Oklahoma!� because “it’s such a wonderful waltzy song of youth and hope of love� She’s also partial to “Hello, Young Lovers� from “The King and I� and “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair� from “South Pacific� because “it’s got a great beat and it’s so optimistic for the breakup. There are no bad R&H songs, I think!� “I like ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone,’� says violinist Mary Ann Fennell. She remembers that she particularly loved the Lettermen’s version, “being a sentimental teenager at the time.� The concert will also include music from Hammerstein’s collaboration with Jerome Kern in “Showboat,� as well as Rodgers’ collaborations with Lorenz Hart. Rodgers was by all accounts something of a musical workaholic. Fortunately for everyone he eventually found his ideal “word man,� Oscar Hammerstein. When asked to list her favorite R&H moments, cellist Alice Stuart names “Something Good� from “The Sound of Music.� Any-

‘Titus Andronicus’ starts this week at CBT Flashing Blue Steel again Ridiculously beautiful – and long-forgotten – supermodels Hansel (Owen Wilson) and Derek (Ben Stiller) reinvent themselves to infiltrate the fashion world and find out who’s killing the world’s most beautiful people in “Zoolander 2.� Co-starring Will Ferrell, Penelope Cruz, Kristen Wiig, Olivia Munn, Benedict Cumberbatch, Justin Bieber, Christine Taylor and Billy Zane, the film is rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, a scene of exaggerated violence, and brief strong language.

William Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus,� starring Kurt Rhoads, is coming to the main stage of Clarence Brown Theatre Feb 10-28. The synopsis: Is revenge justice? A victorious general returns home, having already lost many sons in the war, only to find political chaos and the emperor marrying his enemy. This sets into motion a cycle of revenge in which the general and his foe lose more than either one could ever imagine. Kurt Rhoads

Disney star visits Clinton to show inspiration By Betsy Pickle Hollywood star power helped heat up the chilly streets of Clinton recently. Cameron Boyce, star of the Disney XD series “Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything,� came to shoot a “Be Inspired� short now airing on Disney XD and the Disney Channel in recognition of Black History Month. The young actor’s grandmother, Jo Ann Allen Boyce, was one of “the Clinton 12,� the first African-American students to integrate Clinton High School in 1956. The two of them, along with Cameron’s parents and sister, visited the Green McAdoo Cultural Center and other sites in Clinton to shoot footage for the short film. The cultural center is in the former Green McAdoo School, which started out as a segregated elementary school for African-American children in 1935. After

years of deterioration, it was renovated and reopened as a museum and cultural center in 2006. Marilyn Hayden, administrator of the McAdoo center, says Disney got in touch with her in December to ask if it would be possible to come and shoot. It turned out to be a whirlwind visit; they arrived on Jan. 5, shot all day Jan. 6 and departed on Jan. 7. “They used the classroom where you first walk through the door� to film interviews with the Boyce family, Hayden said. They also filmed the family by the statues of the Clinton 12 in front of the center and downtown by the historical marker on the cold but sunny day. Clinton was the first high school in the South to be desegregated following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which found that having separate high schools

for blacks and whites was unconstitutional. The Clinton 12 faced angry pro-segregationists, many of whom came from out of town, as they walked to and from school, and they even received death threats. Hayden, who observed the day’s filming, was already familiar with 16-yearold Boyce’s work. In addition to “Gamer’s,� he has starred in the TV series “Jessie� and guested on many others. He also has appeared in movies such as “Grown Ups� and “Grown Ups 2� with Adam Sandler, “Eagle Eye� with Shia LaBeouf and “Mirrors� with Kiefer Sutherland. “I actually watch some of the stuff he’s in,� Hayden said. “He’s a cutie. He’s nice, really friendly.� Although some people connected to the Clinton 12 – including Oak Ridgebased filmmaker Keith McDaniel, whose documentary “The Clinton 12� debuted 10 years ago – were aware that

Boyce and the Disney crew were in town, most residents didn’t know till after they’d left. “Now the video’s out, so pretty much everybody knows it now,� said Hayden. It’s not as though the filmmakers were looking for crowds of extras.

“It was a ‘Be Inspired’ video, so it was mainly about Jo Ann and her grandson and their interaction, and her as his hero. “It was inspiring to see that Jo Ann and her grandson had that connection and how proud he was of the fact that she took a stand on

something.� Hayden says the Hollywood visit was a success. “Jo Ann was able to actually bring her grandkids to see what she had been a part of,� she said. “I think it also gave our center some recognition, so I think it was a win-win for everyone.�

Volunteer Rotary joins ‘Pass the Leash’ By Tom King Knoxville’s

Volunteer Rotary Club was part of a very special “Pass the Leash” ceremony recently when the S m o k y Mountain Tom King Ser vice Dog’s 2-year-old Black Labrador, Brice, was presented to U.S. Air Force veteran Ted Farley. Attending the January ceremony at the Tellico Village Community Church from Volunteer Rotary was president Ed Lay along with members John Burgess, Willard Sitton and Earl Kear. Burgess and Sitton, both veterans, were part of the Pass the Leash ceremony. Also attending was District 6780 Governor Beth Stubbs. Last fall Volunteer Rotary raised $12,500 to fund a veteran placement sponsorship. Mike Kitchens is the volunteer chair of the Smoky Mountain Service Dogs Inc. The organization

trains and provides service dogs for veterans with physical and/or psychological disabilities. These dogs – usually golden retrievers or Labrador retrievers – are custom-trained mobility assistance service dogs. Farley was a jet engine aviation mechanic who was seriously injured when responding to an emergency fuel leak on a B-1 bomber and was doused with jet aviation fuel and also ingested it. The accident left him with some disabilities. With him at the ceremony were his wife, Jessica, and their three children – Tyler, Aiden and Cami. “Brice will give Ted a lot of mobility assistance and help with his balance and stability as well as helping him go up and down steps and also will retrieve specific items for him,” Kitchens said. “This ceremony is the culmination of the efforts and resources of a lot of folks. It allows us to honor the donors – in this case Volunteer Rotary – and to honor the veteran and the dog and also the volunteers who help train the dog.”

Knoxville sisters Emily Campen and Mary Beth Reagan are busily preparing for Valentine’s Day when they expect to deliver some 10,000 roses. They’ve recruited help from their mom, Dr. Sarah Dugger, a retired dentist who now “helps out around the shops,” said Campen. The entrepreneuers own and operate The Flower Pot and Betty’s Florist. They begin by receiving truckloads of product to begin prepping their stores for the big day, Reagan wrote. “Holiday help is hired, brightly colored red and pink vases are unpacked and fresh flowers are ordered. “The Flower Pot and Betty’s staff work around the clock to fill over 1,000 orders that are usually delivered on Feb. 14 and the days leading up to it.” Drivers arrive at dawn, she said. Both businesses are vital parts of their neighborhoods in downtown, Old North and South Knox. The

Wintry start to ’16 By Sherry Witt After 2015 ended with a flurry of real estate and lending activity, market levels returned to a more normal pace to kick off the New Year. During the Sherry Witt month that

ended Jan. 29, there were 661 property transfers recorded in Knox County. While that number was well below December’s volume, it still represented a 13 percent increase over the sales recorded last January. The total value of property transferred was nowhere near the level recorded in December, but was a slight increase over January 2015.

For the month, nearly $153 million worth of land was sold in Knox County, compared to $145.5 million last January. Real estate activity historically experiences a significant decline in January after year-end rallies fade and winter takes hold. The month was also shortened by the MLK holiday and a snowstorm that shut down commerce for a couple of days. Mortgage markets experienced a similar pullback

as lending decreased from $433 million in December to about $220 million in January. Last year lending markets went through essentially the same cycle as roughly $227 million was loaned during January 2015. The most notable deed recorded during January involved the transfer of a parcel at 2116 Adair Drive in North Knoxville, also known as Adair Manor. The property was transferred to
