Her name was Maria de la Luz Compere, and before she died Jan. 24 at age 97, this tiny human dynamo was responsible for planting some 2 million daffodils along Pellissippi Parkway. Betty Bean says there is a simple way to honor her legacy: Buy some bulbs. Plant some flowers.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre spoke last Tuesday to an assembly of community leaders at Powell High School auditorium. It was the second annual State of the Schools address and drew Mayor Tim Burchett, school board members, commissioners and business leaders. Powell High students had leading roles in the event, which was highlighted by a display of school technology in the lobby.

Old Vols hang together Marvin West looks for good things to say about Tennessee football: “I keep going back to old Volunteers. They do not disappoint. “Through the years, they keep caring about each other. They hang together like lodge brothers. In sad times, including those that end in heartbreak, they pick each other up as they once did on the field.” See Marvin’s story on page A-5

Instead of doing chemistry homework, Chris Kleinschmidt, a sophomore at the L&N STEM Academy, listens to an online lecture by teacher Glenn Arnold each evening. Then, during class time, Arnold answers questions and helps students work through problems. It’s called a flipped classroom, and it’s becoming more common across the country, Arnold said. Students are more likely to struggle with homework, so he’s available while they’re doing it. They can listen to the 15-minute lecture when it’s most convenient for them. “It’s shifted the responsibility to their hands,” he said, and it’s possible because every student at the STEM Academy is equipped with an iPad. Arnold was one of several teachers who brought students and examples of school technology to the State of the Schools presentation at Powell High School last week. Much of it was in the form of computers and software. But West High School physics teacher Joe Foy brought gadgets, including a dual range force sensor. Senior Indiana Laine said the sensor measures simple harmonic motion. Working with such equipment leads to a deeper understanding than learning from a book, she said. Austin-East math teacher Greg Allen demonstrated software that allows for individualized learning in his Algegra I class. The class goes to the computer lab three times a week, where students take a pre-test to determine what they need to work on. As they work independently, he monitors their progress. Hardin Valley Academy business teacher Vivian West demonstrated Edmodo, a social media platform that allows teachers to post agendas and assignments, and allows students to turn in assignments and ask questions. Students like it because it mimics the world they live in, she said. Sophomore Kane Smith says Edmodo makes school easier. Email is awkward, he said, and posting questions on Edmodo helps everyone in the class. Dr. Jim McIntyre wants to put a computer in the hands of every student and teacher at 10 schools during the next budget year. It’s a step back from the ambitious five-year program for all schools presented, but not funded, last year. But it’s a step forward in equipping our kids for real world life and careers.

Powell residents ask for codes enforcement

Sepesi wants security check at Powell schools By Sandra Clark School board member Kim Sepesi asked Dr. Jim McIntyre to add Powell Middle School and Hardin Valley Academy to a “random” sample of schools slated for security inspections. Knox County government and the Public Building Authority are suing the contractor that installed security at these schools which were built with PBA as project manager. Dale Smith, who heads PBA, told the school board the contractor “has worked in all of your schools.

“And from my perspective has failed two out of two times.” Sepesi asked McIntyre specifically if “anything needs to be done at Powell Middle School.” “That’s a judgment question,” McIntyre responded. “We have functional (security) equipment ... but they have not met the specs of the contract. That’s the reason for litigation.” Board chair Karen Carson pointed out the school board is not a party to the litigation, and she asked Law Director Bud Armstrong whether his office had advised the Mayor’s Office of the

The face of school technology

Do not call the Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy an alternative school if you’re within earshot of principal Kim Towe, who will politely set you straight: “We are a nontraditional school, and we value the fact that we work with our students individually. And we value the fact that they are on a non-traditional learning plan.”

Neighborhoods to connect, learn By Anne Hart Representatives of neighborhoods through the city and county are invited to gather at the Knoxville Convention Center on Saturday, March 23, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the 2013 Neighborhood Conference, sponsored by the city’s Office of Neighborhoods. “Connecting Neighborhoods, Building Community” will offer members and leaders of resident-led, resident-controlled neighborhood groups, including homeowner associations (HOAs), neighborhood associations, condo associations, tenant groups and neighborhood watch groups an opportunity to choose from more than 30 workshops on topics ranging from learning how zoning works to resolving disputes between neighbors to understanding the rights and responsibilities of renters and landlords. The workshops will be staffed by experts from city and county government and other local organizations, who will speak on topics ranging from neighborhood blight to neighborhood traffic safety. Local law enforcement officials will discuss Neighborhood Watch, describe existing gang activity and offer anti-crime tips.

Residents will also be able to get tips on starting and building strong neighborhood organizations, including ways to recruit new members, and will be given communications tools that will enable neighbors to effectively keep in touch with each other and be alerted to special events. David Massey, director of the city’s Office of Neighborhoods, told members of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners at their meeting last week that neighborhoods will receive the most benefit from the conference if 10 or 11 representatives from each are able to attend. Because each session lasts an hour and 15 minutes and there are more than 30 sessions, that would allow each to attend three sessions. There will be more than 20 information booths, and elected officials and department heads from both city and county government are expected to attend. Also expected are business owners, nonprofit executives and others with an interest in Knoxville’s residential neighborhoods. There is no charge for admission or parking, and a free continental breakfast and box lunch will be served to each participant. To register: www.cityofknoxville. org/neighborhoods.

Jack and Vivian Slaughter, David Massey and John Schoonmaker at last week’s meeting of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners. Massey urged the 30+ member organizations of the council to attend the city-sponsored 2013 Neighborhood Conference on March 13 at the convention center.

Powell students on stage When community leaders from across the county met for the State of the Schools address, Powell High singers were selected to perform “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz. On stage are Spencer Swafford, Kelsie Shipley, Whitney Pittman, Caleb Brewer and Emily Morrow. Noah Muncy is behind Whitney and Josh Neely is not pictured. Choral director Jim Kennedy said the students arranged the song and Caleb Brewer produced a video of PHS teachers and students.

Clinton vs. Biden

State party election foretells 2016 fight

Victor Ashe

Under the surface, the election of Roy Herron as chair of the Democratic State Executive Committee was an early skirmish between the forces favoring Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 and forces favoring Vice President Joe Biden or someone closer to President Obama’s legacy. Some may deny this, but my sources tell me this rivalry was already at play as a second tier issue. Clinton clobbered Obama here in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, and Obama has never done well in Tennessee in either a primary or general election. He has ignored the recommendations of the state’s senior Democrat, Jim Cooper, for federal positions for those who had actually backed Obama over Clinton. While local Democratic state committee member Bill Owen actively backed Herron over Mayor Rogeroendorsed Dave Garrison, Sylvia Woods, longtime organized labor and Democratic Party activist who serves also on the State Executive Committee, actively backed Garrison. Herron won by a comfortable margin. In 2016, Tennessee is not likely to vote for the Democratic nominee to succeed Obama, but the state will be relevant in choosing the Democratic nominee. ■ Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre’s failure to brief all school board members and the public in full on the security issues facing Knox schools has handed his opponents an effective issue. Security at schools is top in the minds of parents. Not keeping the people who hired you fully informed on issues which generate negative frontpage headlines can be the making of early retirement plans. McIntyre has had mostly positive reviews up to now. This is the first time he has hit seriously troubled waters. He can survive it if he is totally open with the school board and public, acknowledges errors, takes responsibility, and clearly embarks on a new path of providing full information to all parties, but especially those who determine his tenure. ■ The death of Maria Compere was a loss to the community and especially to those who oppose billboards and those who favor planting flowers along

our interstates. Every local official had some encounter over the years with Compere, who called frequently expressing her deeply-held views. She is irreplaceable. Knoxville looks better because of her efforts for flowers and trees. ■ Possible candidates to lead the Knox County Democratic Party when state Rep. Gloria Johnson’s term ends include Doug Veum, Linda Haney and John Bohstedt. Others may emerge between now and the date of the convention. ■ Former state Sen. Bill Owen has been in Kenya several times the past year for Pete DeBusk and DeRoyal, seeking to sell hospital supplies to Kenyan hospitals which are now supplied in large part by the Chinese. Owen has been 5 times in 2012 and is currently in Kenya for his sixth trip. ■ Dennis Francis, a Democratic member of the local Election Commission, is leaving the commission in two months. State Rep. Gloria Johnson will make the recommendation for his replacement to the State Election Commission. While Johnson declined to name her choice, speculation centers on former county commissioner Mark Harmon and attorney Tammy Kaousias as possible replacements. Greg Mackay’s new appointment with the city appears to remove him as an appointee. Both Harmon and Kaousias would be active members questioning why meetings are held at 8 a.m. and seeking the re-opening of Belle Morris School as a polling place. It is unclear whether all of the Republican members will be reappointed. No Republican woman has served on the Election Commission in more than 20 years. Kaousias would be the first Greek American to serve on the Election Commission. Commissioners are eligible for county health insurance, which is worth more than the salary. ■ Mayor Tommy Battle is taking on TVA’s tree-cutting practices within the city limits of Huntsville, Ala. Seems to be identical issues to what happened here except the Huntsville mayor is publicly opposing TVA. More on this next week.

There’s been a lot of talk about school security over the past couple of weeks. We’ve learned that a couple of Knox County Schools were determined, back in 2011, to have shoddy security, including electronic keypad entry systems that were anchored to the wall but not connected to the door. This is unacceptable, it was fi xed and the contractor is being sued. I would find this more disturbing if any of the three Knox County schools my children have attended had electronic keypad security systems. But I’m not disturbed. Such security

Wendy Smith

would just slow me down when I’m dropping off my kid’s forgotten lunch. The cold, hard reality is that an armed intruder isn’t likely to use a school’s front door. And in Knox County, a gun is much more likely to be brought into a school by a student, or even a teacher, than an intruder. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against secure schools. I’m just afraid that the issue of security is going to distract us from the primary reason for schools,

which is education. Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre had positive things to say about the direction of Knox County Schools at last week’s State of the Schools address. TCAP scores were up two to five percent at the end of last year, and our 2012 graduation rate was 90.3 percent – a rise of 3.7 percent. But not all of the numbers were good. Only 49 percent of our high school students scored a 21 or higher on the ACT, and only 38 percent of our 8th graders scored proficient or advanced on math TCAPs. McIntyre believes technology can make a difference in the classroom by allowing students to work and learn at their own pace. PetSafe CEO and philanthropist Randy Boyd, also at the State of the Schools forum, said if we fail to provide technology skills to

our children, we fail to give them what they need for college and for jobs. Equality suffers when only rich kids have access to technology, he said. A battle between increased technology and enhanced school security is looming for the upcoming school budget discussion. McIntyre wants to equip 10 public schools with oneto-one technology, which means computers for each student as well as campuswide Internet access. But he also wants armed security guards in all schools. It would take a miracle for the county to fund both. As parents, we worry about the threat of school violence. But our fears must not dictate budget decisions that prevent us from preparing all kids for the very real world. Share your thoughts. Email Wendy Smith at news@ShopperNewsNow.com.

Maria Compere’s work will go on Watch for spring bulb sale

One of the classic Maria Compere stories is that, after receiving a sternly-worded communication about a state road crew prematurely cutting down a million daffodils on Pellissippi Parkway, a governor of Tennessee (maybe Sundquist, maybe Bredesen – her wrath was non-partisan) put down an order that there would be no mowing during daffodil season until Maria said it was OK. Her name was Maria de la Luz Compere – Maria of the Light, translated literally – and, as has been said so many times recently, she was indeed a force of nature. When she died last month at age 97, this tiny human dynamo was still making plans, still hatching ideas, and left behind hundreds of friends and thousands of admirers who wish they could do something to show how much she meant to them. Well, there is. Buy some bulbs. Plant some flowers. Compere, who lived in Knoxville for 57 years, was responsible for planting 2 million daffodils along Pellissippi Parkway and was the driving force behind Knoxville Green’s annual spring bulb sale (she and husband Edgar founded Knoxville Green). Plans for the sale were well underway before her death on Jan. 24, and her daughter Suzy and devoted friend Larry Silverstein are determined that it will go on. “We’re going to continue her work, and we’ve got almost 80,000 daffodil bulbs that need to get into the ground,” Silverstein said. “So we will definitely have a sale. We’re looking at locations, and in the next week

Betty Bean or two we will definitely have a sale. So stay tuned for an announcement.” The Pellissippi daffodils were not the only Compere project, just the most visible. Her obituary lists more: Knoxville Green’s donating more than $100,000 worth of bulbs and trees annually to the community: helping create an outdoor classroom and landscaping for the Laura Cansler Boys and Girls Club; chairing a garden club group that provided outdoor recreational facilities for the blind and disabled; working with the East Tennessee Community Design Center to develop the wheelchair-accessible Serendipity Trail at Ijams Nature Center; helping create a “healing garden” for cancer patients at the UT Medical Center Cancer Institute; and most recently, working with Knox County to develop a greenhouse and horticulture program for female inmates at the detention facility. Some of her work was done through Ossoli Circle, of which she was a member. Former city greenways coordinator Donna Young was another loyal friend. She and Silverstein took on a task this year when Maria was too ill to deliver lunch and snacks to the state prison inmates on the bulb-planting crew. “She had done that all on her own,” Young said. “She would get them fried chicken from Kroger, and it was the best food they got to eat. “She was so thoughtful and kind and was always trying to do the right thing. “To me, she always made the right choice, the for-

Maria Compere at a recent bulb sale. File photo by S. Clark giving choice. Her family founded Monterey, and she was one of the most wellread, educated women I’ve ever known. If I had a problem, that’s who I would go to. She taught me that when you want to make an ethical decision, you err on the side of the most vulnerable party.” Born in Monterey, Mexico, in 1915, she won a scholarship to study biochemistry at Louisiana State University despite knowing no English. A professor there took pity on her and asked Edgar Compere, a young teaching assistant who knew some Spanish, to help her out. As their daughter Suzy says, the rest was history: “My father went to meet her and fell instantly in love. My father was in love with her until the last breath he drew. He loved us, but he adored her,” Suzy said. Edgar Compere became a nuclear scientist, and moved the family to Oak Ridge in 1951. He died in 1996. In 2008, Maria was in hospital off and on for seven months, in danger of losing

her legs. During that time, she raised $100,000 for the healing garden project, working the phone in her room at Fort Sanders Medical Center. “Three days before her leg was scheduled to be amputated, she had meeting (previously set) with TDOT. I told her she was going to have to cancel it. “She said, ‘No. You’ll just have to smuggle me out of the hospital. I have to do this, and you have to make it work. So I did. And she never said a word to the TDOT people about being in the hospital. “She had a wonderful, productive, memorable, exciting, sweet life.” Her friend Margaret Fuller read the William Wordsworth poem “Daffodils” at her memorial service. It ends with this verse: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

The mail-order king George F. Barber (1854-1915)

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

n the early 1900s, George F. Barber’s architectural firm employed about 30 people working in drafting and 20 secretaries, occupying an entire floor of the French and Roberts building on North Gay Street. It was Knoxville’s largest design firm and, quite possibly, the largest architectural firm in the state. At its zenith the firm sold about 1,000 mail-order house plans a month, or an estimated 20,000 between 1888 and 1913. But for his physician’s advice, the firm might have developed up north. Barber’s health gradually declined in the late 1880s, when he was living in northern Illinois. His physician felt that East Tennessee’s mountainous area, with its warmer climate and mineral waters, would prove beneficial for his stomach and liver problems, so he moved to the South. George Franklin Barber was born in DeKalb, Ill., on July 31, 1854, the son of Lyman and Cornelia Barnett Barber. Early in life he moved to rural Fort Scott, Kan., to a farm adjoining his older sister’s on which he raised plants, which he advertised for sale as “ornamental nursery stock.” His formal education was interrupted by the foment-

ing unrest in that state and then by the Civil War. As he matured, he spent a lot of time in the self-study of design and construction books, which he ordered by mail. It is thought that George Palliser’s “American Cottage Homes” (1878) was his major influence, but he also studied other technical books on those subjects. In the mid-1880s, he returned to DeKalb, where he worked with his brother, Manley D. Barber, in Manley’s respected construction firm. There Barber published his first book, “The Cottage Souvenir,” which was produced on card stock tied together with a piece of yarn. The first edition featured 14 house plans but a second edition was soon published with 18. His earliest buildings were DeKalb’s Bradt House and the DeKalb Congregational Church. When he moved to Knoxville in 1888 at age 34, he first partnered briefly with Martin Parmalee. Barber served as the “artist” and Parmalee served as the “superintendent.” By 1890, Parmalee had set up his own office, probably because Barber’s more flamboyant Victorian-era turrets, bay windows and gingerbread trim did not fit with Parmalee’s more conservative tastes. The families remained friends

George F. Barber (1854-1915). Due to his declining health, George F. Barber moved to Knoxville in 1888, where he established his large architectural firm.

The Barber Residence at 1635 Washington Ave. (1890 to 1897). This is the first of three homes George Barber built for his family on Washington Avenue. The turret, roof cresting and fancy chimneys, as shown in his catalogue (The Cottage Souvenir No. 2, Design No. 60), were typical of his ornate homes. Photos courtesy C.M. McClung Historical Collection

and Barber’s nephew, David West Barber, later married Parmalee’s daughter, Carol. In 1892, Barber partnered with J.C. White, a descendant of Knoxville’s founder, who had been one of his early clients. He also joined others in the Edgewood Land Co., which was developing the Park City suburb and designed more than a dozen houses for the project, including his own house at 1635 Washington Ave. In 1890, Barber published “The Cottage Souvenir No. 2” which contained 59 house plans, as well as plans for two barns, a church, a chapel, two storefronts and several pavilions. His influence quickly expanded and his plans were soon used for homes in Jacksonville, Ore., Mount Dora, Fla., and Henderson, Ky. In Knoxville, he built the Romanesque-inspired Ziegler House and an impressive home for his printer, S.B. Newman. Between 1892 and 1907, he printed nine large mailorder catalogues and a se-

ries of samplers, most of them produced in Knoxville by S.B. Newman & Co. In addition he printed an 86-page booklet “Appreciation,” which featured testimonials of satisfied customers, their portraits, and the plans and photographs of their homes. They included members of the rising middle class: a young attorney or physician, a railroad company treasurer, the vice-president of a bank, a hardware company executive, etc. About 1895, he parted with White and formed a new firm with Thomas Kluttz. The first edition of his magazine, American Homes (A Journal Devoted to Planning, Building and Beautifying the Home) was published in January 1895. It advertised his house plans and furnished advice on interior design and landscaping and included a multi-part history of architecture. There were competitors, but Barber’s magazine was more literary, containing articles on residential con-

struction, proper siting of a suburban home, information on major historic landmarks and accounts of visits to housing expositions. Barber controlled the publication until 1902, when the editorial offices were moved to New York City. He continued to contribute articles periodically. Barber’s most innovative contribution to the mail-order home industry was his method of assuring results. He designed a 44-question survey through which his prospective clients supplied their needs and wants. It included a “Handy Sketch Sheet” conveniently ruled off in 1/8” squares on which the client could supply a rough sketch of the floor plan desired. He encouraged his clients to, “Write to us concerning any changes wanted in plans, and keep writing till you get what you want. Don’t be afraid of writing too often. We are not easily offended.” At one point in his career, Barber developed a “house-in-a-kit” concept that Sears and Roebuck

later adopted. One of the $6,000 kits was shipped to a wealthy Irish merchant, Jeremiah Nunan, who lived in Jacksonville, Ore. The 21-room prefab house and barn were shipped from Knoxville precut and partially assembled, lacking only the roof and foundation. It required 137 crates loaded on 14 boxcars. The house was sold in 1977 for $185,000 and more than a half million dollars were spent to restore it before it was opened to the public as an upscale restaurant. The success of the company can be measured by the wide geographic spread of Barber homes: 47 homes by one builder in Baltimore, for instance. Almost 50 are currently listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places. The company correspondence included letters from Japan, China, the Philippines, South Africa, Europe, Canada and almost every state in the Union. Dr. Michael Tomlan, a 1973 UT graduate who is now an architectural preservationist at Cornell University, is the leading authority on George Barber’s work. He has documented more than 650 George Barber homes still standing nationwide. George Franklin Barber passed away on Feb. 17, 1915, and rests in the family burial plat in Greenwood Cemetery. His wife, the former Laura Cheney (1855-1925), died just nine days before him. They were survived by their three children: sons George F. Barber Jr. and Charles I. and daughter Laura. Charles I. Barber’s distinguished career in architecture is the subject of a future article. Author’s note: Thanks to Sally Polhemus, Martha Rosson, Savannah Rouse and the C.M.

Search for something good In my continuous search for good things to say about Tennessee football, I keep going back to old Volunteers. They do not disappoint. Through the years, they keep caring about each other. They hang together like lodge brothers. In sad times, including those that end in heartbreak, they pick each other up as they once did on the field. When it is party time, even with gimpy knees, they can roll back the rug and do the two-step like you wouldn’t believe. Dozens of ol’ Vols and a few former coaches were at the celebration of Nick Showalter’s life a few months ago. They lined up in support of former line coach Ray Trail when his and Sandy’s daughter died. Robbie Franklin rallied old teammates when fullback Stan Mitchell was ill

and led the delegation to Sparta at the end. Forty-one years after Walter Chadwick’s tailback body was battered and broken by a heavy money truck that crossed the yellow line and ran over his Volkswagen bug, several old Vols remain in his Wednesday lunch bunch. They do not miss a birthday or holidays or any other excuse to gather and retell tall tales. They are faithful friends. Steve Kiner has never let go. You don’t hear about it but if Walter needs something, former coach Bill Battle is often first to send a check.

Walter gives back inspiration. He lives at Regency House in the Atlanta area. Back in October, he noticed how beautiful the leaves were, especially the bright yellows and oranges. His comment: “We serve a wonder-working God.” Former fullback Richard Pickens has more than a fair share of Lou Gehrig’s disease and short-term memory problems. Former teammate Jim McDonald manages his finances. Dick Williams has been a steady supporter. Dewey Warren is always good for some great yarns. Charles Rosenfelder and Bill Young took Pick to Buddy’s Bar-b-q the other Sunday after church. Franklin, Mack Gentry, Bobby Gratz and Reg Jellicorse were with him at Texas Roadhouse the day he knocked his plate off the table and made a steak-

For thou wilt light my candle; The Lord, my God, will enlighten my darkness. (Psalm 18: 28 KJV)

To double day and cut in half the dark … (“A Young Birch,” Robert Frost) I love candles – all kinds of candles. I have big candles and little candles and elegant candles and pillar candles and tea light candles and birthday candles and homemade candles. I even have a tiny travel candleholder, with a tea light in it, that stays packed in my

overnight bag. I may be the only nonsmoker in the world who always has a box of matches in her purse. I was grown before I discovered the magic, the mystery, the sensory pleasure of one solitary candle. There were always candles on birthday cakes at my house,

and candles on the dinner table at Christmas. But it was as an adult that I realized that candlelight is kind and soft and mysterious. It was in church that I learned that candles are one of the ways in which we pray. The f lame reaches toward heaven, much as our hearts yearn for the heart of God. The smoke rises like our prayers, and carries our hopes and

and-baked-potato mess. Pickens said he sure was glad it wasn’t his ice cream that went down. Even the clean-up crew laughed and the restaurant was quick with another plate. Bubba Wyche returned to Neyland Stadium last season for the first time in a long time. He has health problems (vertebra issues, blood disorder, breathing troubles and entirely too much pain). His left leg has not taken kindly to 11 knee operations. Wyche, you may recall, was the third-string quarterback who managed that delightful victory over Bear Bryant’s Alabama in Birmingham in 1967. Yes, that was the afternoon Albert Dorsey made allAmerican and Sports Illustrated responded with a big spread. Wyche’s return to UT turned into a celebration. There was a surprise pre-

game ceremony in the Lauricella Center. Years ago, a fan gave quarterback Bobby Scott a print of an Alexander Dumas painting that featured Tennessee’s No. 18. It wasn’t Bobby. He wore 17. “What’s more, I’m better looking than that,” quipped Scott. It was Bubba in the spotlight but nobody told him. Mike Price and Jerry Holloway had the artwork framed. They presented it to Wyche. Emotional remarks included what I thought was admiration of toughness, deep appreciation for terrific times past and even brotherly love. Two or three people got something in their eyes. I made myself a note so I wouldn’t forget: There really is something to this “Vol for life” stuff.

fears and confessions. Nowadays, I keep a burning candle on the table in my office. Sometimes the candle is scented, sometimes not. Sometimes it is small, sometimes large. But it is always there. Because it is a constant, I am not always aware of its fragrance. When a colleague or one of our neighbors walks into my office, however, they frequently comment on the scent. And when someone asks me to keep them in my prayers, I usually respond, “The candle is burning and prayers ascend.” It serves its true purpose, you see, as a reminder. It reminds me that there is power beyond this earth,

power that I can tap into, but not control. I am careful with the flame, aware that even in its warmth and beauty and grace, it has the power to burn and destroy. It reminds me of all the prayers around the world, of all the little altars everywhere, of all the supplicants who cry out to God in agonizing despair, or in astonished joy. It reminds me of my own sinfulness, and nudges me to repent. It offers me comfort, solace, encouragement. Most of all, it keeps me aware of the holy, of the Holy One, of the sanctity of each and every day, and of the words of the old song, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.”

Support Our Schools (SOS) recently participated in the annual Partners in Education conference with teachers, social workers and support staff. In a one-hour breakout session entitled “How Can a Citizen’s Group Help Our Public Schools?” the group discussed topics SOS plans to address this year, including vouchers, teacher evaluations, guns in schools and the school budget process. Gov. Bill Haslam established a task force on vouchers in March 2012 to hear from experts, study approaches taken by other states, analyze the private and public school landscapes, and interview stakeholders. The administration proposed Senate Bill (SB)196 under the title of “Tennessee Choice and Opportunity Scholarships,” commonly referred to as vouchers. Super i ntendent Dr. Jim McIntyre, Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “JJ” Jones and Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch will hold a forum on student safety and school security 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, at Amherst Elementary School, 5101 Schaad Road. SOS began in November 2010 when five local women committed to raise public awareness about public school matters. SOS publishes an enewsletter. Readership has grown to several hundred people with strong community interest in the education of young people. Info: SOS. knoxtn@gmail.com.

One church, two locations By Cindy Taylor Local churches have been establishing multiple campuses across the county for a few years. Pastors Alan Bradford, Molly Aper and members prefer to think of Crossings as one church meeting in two locations. Launched in 2007 in west Knox, Crossings members had a heart to go where other churches hadn’t at the time – downtown and old north Knoxville. “We are a faith community helping people ﬁnd their way back to God,” said Bradford, who pastors at the

north location. “We gather here to scatter out.” The church meets at 4 Market Square and at Christenberry Elementary School. Bradford and Aper help staff the Christenberry location where they say they have been welcomed with open arms. “We always wanted to be downtown,” said Bradford. “At the same time we were hoping to become part of a school. Now we can do both.” The Crossings congregation includes several teachers, so holding services at

a school was ideal. Aper, who also coaches volleyball, works mostly in the children’s ministry at the church. “Partnering with a school is beneﬁcial for us and the community,” she said. “Christenberry is in the heart of its neighborhood, and we wanted to come alongside the school to help any way we can.” Church members are a part of the PTO at Christenberry and also support the teachers and students with special meals and free book fairs. The church often

sponsors free events open to the community where hundreds show up for food, fun and games. “When an event is over and people collect their chairs to walk home, it is so great to see the number of community members that have taken part,” said Bradford. While there are no plans to plant additional churches, the staff at Crossings does have a vision. That is simply to bring people back to God. Service is dismissed each week with the word shalom, a Hebrew word meaning peace. To those at Crossings it also means restoration and living life the way God intended.

Snow postpones services By Theresa Edwards The morning of Sunday, Feb. 3, started out with snow, causing several churches to cancel or postpone services. Powell Church of God planned to have the singers Jimmy and Jennifer Layne of Back Home perform a special concert at 11 a.m., but cancelled it due to the snow. “When I came out of my driveway near West Town Mall, the whole street was covered with snow. The ﬂakes were the biggest I had ever seen, the size of a quarter,” pastor Jerry Cox said. “It was pouring down. The interstate was totally covered with snow. “I thought we would never get up Sharp’s Hill. We did, but the parking lot was totally covered with snow. So I called the singers, who said they were 25 miles out, and the interstate was all backed up. So we cancelled the concert and I postponed the church service for everyone’s safety. We will sched-

ule Back Home for a concert at a later date.” Meanwhile, Grace Baptist Church altered its Sunday service plans as well. The church cancelled its early morning service. By the late morning service

“Many people in their 20s were leaving the church,” said Aper. “We are seeing that age group expand in our church, and that helps us know we are

where we belong.” Crossings Church Sunday worship gatherings are 9 a.m. and 10:30.a.m. at the Market Square location and 10 a.m. at Christenberry.

By 12:15 p.m., the temperature warmed up to 44 degrees in the Karns area, and the parking lots and streets were clear. If you slept in, you would not believe it had snowed that morning.

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC

Oxidative stress: What is it? By Dr. Donald G. Wegener In our day-to-day life sometimes we forget about the simple things that occur in our bodies that we do not consciously have to think about, such as the simple act of breathing. Dr. Wegener Relax your shoulders and breathe in as deeply as you can, and then slowly release the air from your lungs. Do this several times and breathe deeply to the point that you feel your lungs filling. This is a great feeling, isn’t it? Being a doctor, I like to imagine what is happening inside the body and at a cellular level as oxygen enters through the nose and travels into the lungs. Life is truly a miracle. The molecules of oxygen pass through the thin walls of the alveoli in the lungs into the blood that is passing by. Here, the oxygen attaches itself to the hemoglobin in the blood and the heart pumps the newly oxygenated blood back out to the other parts of the body.

The hemoglobin then releases the oxygen so it can enter the cells of your body where it gives energy and sustains life. Within every cell in your body there are organelles called mitochondria. Mitochondria reduce oxygen by the transfer of electrons to create energy into the form of ATP, and during the production of ATP they produce a byproduct called water. This ATP is the energy source for the cell, and the water is an important byproduct which is produced 98 percent of the time. But the full complement of four electrons needed to reduce oxygen to water does not always happen as planned, and a “free radical” is often produced. It is the production of the free radicals that causes what is known as oxidative stress. Next time: Free radicals

The Carriage House When I think of a barn, I think rustic, but not necessarily elegant. Well, I thought wrong. If a barn can be elegant, The Carriage House certainly is. Located in Loudon, this barn’s purpose is a bit different than most. The barn was built in 1997 and was used as a gentlemen’s equine facility. Eight years ago, local physicians Kathleen and Meade Edmunds purchased the barn. They completely renovated the barn three years ago. The Carriage House is part of Castleton Farms. It is now used as a facility for

According to LaFontaine, the event brought more par-

Mason jars can be turned into ticipants than expected. “With the weather prediction Friday, we still had several hundred children register yesterday. We planned for 750, and we had 794 preregistered plus another hundred or so today. The turnout is great, so I hope they have fun.” The event also featured special fun characters: a turtle, a bunny and Shoney’s Bear who posed for photos. There were booths with gifts and games for the children to enjoy while waiting for the walk to start.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

‘Y’all, don’t give up on us’ By Betty Bean Abby Standifer was a good student who found herself in a pickle. “I was having problems at my other school,” Abby said. “I was being bullied a lot and was given the option of being home schooled or coming here. I didn’t want to choose home school because I knew I wouldn’t do the work. Here, I have teachers holding me accountable for stuff.” “Here” is the Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy in Knoxville Center Mall. Abby attends classes from 8:30 a.m., Monday through Friday and is taking accounting, Algebra 1 and U.S. history. Technically a junior, she only needs two credits to be eligible to graduate. “I’m working toward graduating in May, which means I’m going to graduate a whole year early.” After that, she plans to go to college, although she’s not quite sure where at this point. She believes she made the right choice when she decided to come to the academy. “I would have found a way to stay on track in my old school, but here, I’m more able to focus on myself without being bothered by others. There’s no bullying here.” Principal Kim Towe says Abby was an ideal candidate for the academy. “This place gives them a way to do their own thing – focus on school, keep the distractions away, get away from the drama.” Tamika Walters is a senior who has been at KVA since early October. She made the change because she had fallen behind. “She needed more credits than she could have earned in a year at her base school,” Towe said. And how does she like her new school? “It’s better than regular school. I was surprised, to be honest,” Tamika says. “When I first heard about it, I thought it was going to be like an alternative school, where you just sit at the computer. But it’s not.” She is in school from 10:40 a.m. – 4 p.m. and is taking a full load: Business English, economics, general business, Bridge Math and English 4. Despite her schedule, she says she’s enjoying it. “I think it’s way more fun, going to school in the mall. If we go on break or lunch, some kids will go shopping, so it’s kinda fun.” Tamika sometimes misses the social aspect of her old school, but says she already knew some kids at KVA and hasn’t had any problem making new friends as well. Is she glad she came? “Oh, gosh yes.”

Her goal is to graduate in May and go to Pellissippi State. She has a Tennessee Achieves Scholarship that will pay for two years at a community college. She believes that none of this would have been possible if she’d stayed where she was. “I probably wouldn’t even have graduated, to be honest. I would recommend this school over every other school, especially for kids who are behind. This is way better than dropping out and getting a GED or going to adult school.” Jessica Kennedy is there every day from 8:30 – 11:45 taking chemistry, U.S. government and banking. That’s quite a change from her previous school, where she failed algebra three times and was told that her choices were to drop out or enroll in KVA. “We’ve both been here since July 2011,” Towe said. “She came the same week I did. Jessica’s a wonderful young lady who has worked so, so hard. And she’s almost finished.” “I want to be done next Wednesday,” Jessica said. “I’ll actually walk in May.” That’s another unique feature of the academy, Towe said. “Our students finish when they finish.” Jessica has a special incentive for wanting to get done: she’s having a baby boy in April. She plans to name him Michael David and says she plans to go to college and learn to work with

special needs kids. She is confident that she made the right choice. “My best friend was going to drop out and I told her to come here. She did, and now she’s already graduated,” Jessica said, turning to Towe: “Ya’ll don’t give up on us.” Do not call the academy an alternative school if you’re within earshot of Towe, who will politely set you straight: “We are a nontraditional school, and we value the fact that we work with our students individually. And we value the fact that they (students) are on a non-traditional learning plan.” Towe grew up in the Karns community and earned an undergraduate degree in special education at UT and a master’s in administration from Lincoln Memorial University. She has been with Knox County Schools for 17 years and is in her second year as principal of the Kelley Volunteer Academy, which opened in November 2010. From 2008-11, Towe was assistant principal at Ridgedale Alternative School, and prior to that was an assistant principal at Halls High School for three years. She has also served as a special education mentor. She clearly loves where she is now. “I have always had a passion to work with the underdogs – the students who are struggling, or need support and need that person who really cares. These kids need support everywhere, and I have that passion for nontraditional approaches to learning.” The academy is the namesake of the late school board member Paul Kelley,

Knox County Council PTA

who died in December. In a bittersweet coincidence, Kelley’s memorial service was held the same night as the academy’s graduation ceremony (there are three a year). “We put up a video of Dr. Kelley’s life at the memorial service. We had a tribute to him prior to graduation.” Towe believes that the school is a true reflection of Kelley’s life’s work. “It’s all about building relationships with these kids, so they know you care and they’ll work harder. We work to make them see the relevance (of education) to their lives. There are so many opportunities they won’t have if they don’t have a diploma – military, all kinds of training and higher education, better jobs.” The academy is a place where high school juniors and seniors who are at risk of not graduating, or who simply don’t fit well in a traditional high school environment, can take core and elective courses in language arts, science, mathematics, social studies, and business electives including marketing, accounting, personal finance and financial planning. The academy operates under a partnership between Knox County Schools and the Simon Youth Foundation, which supports 23 Education Resource Centers in communities where Simon Malls are located. The students come from Gibbs, Fulton, Halls, Powell and West high schools. The enrollment, which fluctuates a bit, is around 200. But Towe says they are OK with that.

“If you ask my staff, they wouldn’t trade it for anything. They like what they do.” She says the typical student is 17-19 years old and works at his or her own pace. “They sort of like the independence. They like being able to say ‘I’m in charge of this.’ In a traditional high school if you fail that class, you’re sunk. Here, you keep working through that subject. Here, zeros don’t exist. There’s no deadline. They turn in that assignment when they’re finished. “And that’s a positive for these students. They don’t give up here because it’s up to them.”

Horse opera, part two The backstage elevator at the Tennessee Theatre has seen some unusual activity lately. Normally, it’s used to lift the nine-foot Steinway grand piano onto the stage for Knoxville Symphony performances. This week, it’s a barn. Marley and Callie, two horses from John Niceley’s Strong Stock Farm off of Rutledge Pike, have been cooling their heels there between acts of Knoxville Opera’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s “The Girl of the Golden West.” And, yes, in answer to the question posed by this column last week, there have been several “emissions,” both in the KOC rehearsal space on Depot Street and onstage at the Tennessee Theatre. But the Niceley family and their assistants, old hands at this kind of thing, are always ready with the broom and scoop. And honestly, aren’t there a lot of worse smells? There’s nothing wrong with a little robust barnyard atmosphere. During their first time onstage, the horses were slightly put off by the cramped quarters and the loud capgun shots. Callie at one point decided she’d just rather not go on, and there seemed to be nothing that soprano Carter Scott could do to make her change her mind. Marley, on the other hand, simply does not enjoy music. “If you know him, you can tell he’s upset,” says John’s son, George Niceley. “You can tell if a person is aggravated by looking into his eyes, and it’s the same with a horse. Marley is just not much of a music fan.”

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Critter Corner Good thing John Niceley is there to keep things running smoothly. “He’s the ultimate horse whisperer,” says Knoxville Opera Company production manager Don Townsend. “I’ve done two ‘Aida’s and one ‘Pagliacci’ with him, and in my opinion he’s the best in the area.” By the time you read this, the big show will be over, but we can safely assume that all went well with the performances. In other horsy news, STAR (Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding), located in Lenoir City, is looking for volunteers to help special needs children and adults with therapeutic riding lessons. Training for ages 13 and up will take place 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, and ages 10 12 will train from 5-7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25. No horse experience is necessary. It’s a good chance for you and/or your child to enjoy the company of these beautiful animals and help out some folks at the same time. Info: Melissa, 988-4711, or visit www.rideatstar.org.

records. This task is getting more and more difficult with the changing face of information media. She explains, “We are concerned about the longevity of digital information. We know paper with pencil writing can last hundreds of years, and that paper with ballpoint writing is comparably shortlived. “We do not know how long a CD or a DVD will be readable, or even what device will read them decades from now.

Bonnie Peters has done it again, for the eighth time. Her latest book, “Tales from the Hills and Hollows of East Tennessee,” has just arrived from the printer. It is a compilation of chosen articles from the past seven years of her columns in the ShopperNews. “My motivation for this book was the many calls I get requesting reprints of columns, mostly from people who are descended from those mentioned in the historical pieces,” says Peters. “Tales” contains a varied mix of legends, murders, a hanging, lots of history, current events and even some old-time recipes. A “wholesale poisoning” by lemonade in 1902 fortunately didn’t kill anyone. Famous musicians from the late Chet Atkins to the young Sarah Morgan make appearances. Did you know silkworms were grown in Union County? And, in a certain phase of the silkworm life cycle, if a cat ate the worms (they loved them) that it killed them? Fascinating stuff, all in short pieces. At a young 70-plus years of age, Bonnie Heiskell Peters has a lot going on. In addition to writing for this newspaper, she is a board member of Preservation Union County, working with the East Tennessee Preservation Alliance. The group’s current focus is restoring the Oak Grove School in Sharps Chapel. She is president of the Inskip Lions Club, which recently helped form the Union County Lions Club.

News from Office of Register of Deeds

Stronger January By Sherry Witt One of the historically slowest months saw a faster pace than usual for the local real estate and lending markets. Ja nu a r y produced 601 properWitt ty transfers in Knox County. While the total value of property sold was almost identical to that of last January – around $85 million – there were 122 more property sales registered than a year ago. In the mortgage lending department, January’s

numbers also outpaced those of last year. For the month, some $353 million was loaned against property here, compared to $241 million during January 2012. Continued low interest rates, a pickup in home sales, and government refinancing programs have worked to boost lending markets since late summer. The largest property transfer was a residential tract on Topside Road which sold for $1.2 million. One loan was noteworthy.

Each participating restaurant will offer threecourse meals at the fi xed price of $25 or $35 with five dollars of each meal purchased benefiting Second Harvest.

from residents and tourists alike. “Restaurant Week benefits everyone involved,” says Streno. “This event feeds thousands of hungry East Tennesseans, while providing an excellent dining experience for patrons and driving sales and economic impact to the restaurants. That’s why this fundraiser is so much fun.” Second Harvest has seen a 30 percent increase in food demand in the last two years in the 18-county area that it serves. Every $5 donation provides 15 meals for the hungry through Second Harvest. Interested diners can visit the Knoxville Restaurant Week website to browse menus and select their restaurant of choice.

major event for the city and a huge tourist draw. “And, of course, we’re raising money for Second Harvest Food Bank, a very worthwhile charity.” The event has enjoyed much success in past years. “Many patrons have been excited to learn about local places to eat that may not have been on their radar before this event,” says Elaine Streno, executive director of Second Harvest of East Tennessee. The list of participating restaurants includes many local favorites such as The Orangery, Flemings and The Melting Pot. The event has a positive impact on Knoxville in several ways. First, of course, it helps Second Harvest provide meals to needy East Tennesseans. Also, it increases traffic to local restaurants at a typically slow period while boosting Knoxville’s local economy
