Employees can apply for jobs overseas, said owner Randy Boyd. “I always dream big, but (the business has) definitely gone in directions that I didn’t expect and directions that I’m very proud and happy about. We have focused less on electronics and more on pets, and I’m happy that we are. Betty Bean visited with Boyd following his speech to the Union County Chamber banquet.

Flood prevention is Beaver Creek project goal By Sandra Clark Knox County is working to open Beaver Creek from Halls to Melton Hill Lake for recreational use. Last week, watershed coordinator Roy Arthur explained how and why. First, he made clear that it’s not a recreation project. Arthur works for Engineering and Public Works, charged with keeping water flowing, reducing flooding and maintaining good water quality in all Knox County waterways. Beaver Creek was chosen as a demonstration project because its watershed houses 80,000 people (about a quarter of the county’s population) and covers 86 square miles (about one-fifth of the county’s land). A 2003 federal mandate (un-

funded) made water quality a responsibility of counties. Arthur, a 30-year Powell resident, was tapped by then-Mayor Mike Ragsdale to oversee the county’s response. “In the past four years, we’ve spent $1.5 million on water quality in Beaver Creek,” said Arthur. “We’ve repaired one mile of creek bank, saving 1,400 feet of people’s backyards.” He told of a homeowner in Mill Run subdivision who was losing about three feet a year to erosion. “We’ve built two ponds to capture storm water. “We have improved Beaver Creek to the point that TDEC and EPA are leaving us alone,” said Arthur. Beaver Creek has always flood-

ed, but development within the watershed has exacerbated the problem, he said. The county’s grant-funded water trail on Beaver Creek (previously called a blueway) enables work crews to clear debris to facilitate water flow. To date, 23 water jams between Harrell Road and Oak Ridge Highway have been cleared, along with others such as at Fountaingate in Halls. Arthur conceded that the debris jams will recur but said crews will continue to monitor and clear them. More than 100 such obstructions have been mapped. He should hear before April about approval of a $400,000 grant to install Beaver Creek launch ramps for canoes and kayaks. Arthur recalled a flood 10 years

Roy Arthur speaks to the Powell Business and Professional Association ago in which Beaver Creek topped Emory Road near Powell Middle School. Added to the more common flooding of Emory Road near Spring Street, the entire community was shut down without access to emergency vehicles. “I don’t want to ever see that situation here again.”

similar to those installed by KUB through its PACE-10 project. Both would be built on land already owned by Hallsdale Powell. The first would be near Brickey-McCloud School at the old Dry Gap Pike water plant, Cardwell said. The second would be on Norris Freeway property near Halls Heights subdivision. He will explain the scope of the project at Thursday’s meeting. Cardwell says $8 million borrowed through the state’s revolving loan fund for 20 years at 2 percent interest would fund the

project. It would not have an immediate impact on rates but could add about 2 percent to utility bills upon completion. In January, the district set nine water meters and inspected seven sewer hookups, Cardwell said. He praised employees for their recent work during frigid temperatures when a 12-inch main line broke under Emory Road. Crews worked all night to repair the break. Board members noted that Cardwell stayed with the crew during the repair. Nancy Whittaker contributed to this story.

Maryville man thankful for ‘gift’ of minimally invasive surgery Bill Kendall of Maryville, 68, is a retired railroad worker who has spent a fair amount of time on his feet and bending down. At 6 feet, 3 inches tall, that’s a long way down. “It’s simple physics,” Kendall pointed out. “There’s more leverage placed on the spine when you’re taller.” Over the years, Kendall developed lower back pain. “I did it to myself through 35 years of railroad work and abuse,” he said. About four years ago, the pain became signiﬁcant. “It started slowly, but it got to the point where I had to look where my right foot was, because I lost feeling in it. The pain started in the lower back and radiated down the leg. I began to have a loss of strength and standing was very uncomfortable.” Kendall tried non-surgical treatments. “The chiropractor helped but it didn’t cure anything,” Kendall said. “He put things back into alignment, and that was great for a couple of days, but then the pain would start slipping back in. “Then I tried physical therapy, and I went through rounds of steroids. Nothing was working for good, and it only provided temporary relief,” he said. “I refused to take pain medication, because that doesn’t cure anything. It only masks the pain.” At a monthly meeting of retired railroad workers (“We swap lies and stories,” Kendall said), one of his friends shared his own story of a good experience with minimally invasive back surgery by Dr. Joel Norman at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. So Kendall visited Dr. Norman in September 2013. After an MRI test and X-rays, Norman diagnosed Kendall with spondylolisthesis, a degenerative condition in which one vertebra slips forward on the other, rather than being lined up together. The slippage in Kendall’s vertebrae had caused some of the ﬂuid between the vertebrae to ooze out and form a cyst that was pushing onto a nerve. This is called a synovial cyst, and it caused the pain radiating down Kendall’s leg. Spondylolisthesis is a degenerative condition, meaning it only gets worse. Norman recommended surgery to repair the damage.

Dr. Joel Norman performs surgery on Bill Kendall on Oct. 1, 2013, at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

Using a minimally invasive technique, Norman would realign the two vertebrae and fuse them together so there would be no more slipping. “He said, ‘I think I can give you your life back,’ ” said Kendall. “He was conﬁdent enough in his abilities and the people working at Fort Sanders, and that gives you conﬁdence in your surgeon and the staff.” Kendall had minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center on Oct. 1, 2013. “After surgery it was miraculous,” said Kendall. “When I woke up, the pain was gone! I had had pain medicine during surgery, and I thought that would wear off, but after two days, I didn’t need pain medicine at all.” Kendall went home less than 24 hours after surgery and said he would recommend Fort Sanders to anyone facing spinal surgery. “Everyone was so professional and courteous,” he said. “They kept asking, ‘Is there anything I can do for you, do you need anything?’ It was great. All the anxiety of going to the hospital was waylaid.” Even the food was good, he added. “You could tell someone cared about what it looked like, how it was arranged. It was presented in

a healing manner,” he said. Kendall is now working to strengthen his leg and back muscles. “I’m regaining strength in the leg,” he said. “I can go seven minutes on the treadmill, and I have no problem with my back. Before, I couldn’t go 30 seconds on a treadmill.” Kendall said he only wishes he had done the surgery sooner. “It’s a gift I’ve been given. I just can’t express how grateful and appreciative I am, because I’ve got my life back. I tell everybody, go to Tennessee Brain and Spine and Fort Sanders, and get a second opinion. “They’re great. In my book I made the right decision,” said Kendall. “I’ve gotten my life back. Until you have it you don’t understand how great it is when the pain is gone.”

What is spondylolisthesis? Almost everyone experiences back pain – especially lower back pain – at some point in life. For about 5 to 10 percent of people, back pain comes from a condition called spondylolisthesis. From the Greek words “spondylo,” meaning “spine,” and “listhesis,” meaning “slip,” spondylolisthesis is when one vertebra

Specializing in minimally invasive surgery

New year, new program: ‘Covenant presents’ at Strang Center Once a month, a group of senior adults gathers at the Frank R. Strang Senior Center in West Knoxville to learn information about a variety of health and lifestyle topics called “Covenant Presents.” “We have for many years enjoyed a close partnership with the Strang Senior Center,” said Debby Saraceni, Covenant vice president of marketing and physician services. “Our goal with ‘Covenant Presents’ is to expand on an already very solid and successful program that now will include physician speakers not only from Parkwest Medical Center, but from the other hospitals and afﬁli-

ates within Covenant Health.” Covenant Health includes nine hospitals, employs thousands of medical professionals, and is afﬁliated with more than 1,300 of the region’s elite physicians of many different specialties. The new, expanded program will connect medical professionals with local seniors to present health and lifestyle topics of interest to the group, topics such as medication safety, diabetes education, vision and neurological conditions. The program’s purpose is to provide valuable health care information, as well as create an opportunity for participants to have concerns and questions answered.

slips in relation to another above or below it. The misalignment can press against a nerve or allow fluid between the vertebrae to bulge and cause a painful cyst. In both cases, the pain can radiate from the back down the leg. “Spondylolisthesis is often missed on initial MRIs,” said Dr. Joel Norman, a neurosurgeon with Tennessee Brain and Spine and the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional. The vertebrae tend to slip back in place when the patient is lying down for the MRI scan. To get a better image, the patient must have X-rays standing up or bending forward and leaning back. “That way you’ll see the slippage of the bones in there,” said Norman. “Usually the person’s pain is much worse when walking or standing.” Spondylolisthesis is one of the main reasons for spinal fusion surgery, said Norman. At Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, this surgery can be done with a minimally invasive approach. Using special imaging and instruments, the surgeon operates through several small incisions instead of one large one. The goal is to reposition the bones so they’re not compressing a nerve and to fuse them together, to stabilize the area. The small incisions mean less blood loss and quicker healing. “This gets people back on their feet faster and back to regular activity much sooner than a large incision operation does,” said Norman. “After a hospital stay of one to two days, most people return to normal activities within one to four weeks.” Spondylolisthesis can be caused by an injury or a malformation at birth, but is more often the result of arthritis and aging. “The typical patient is 50 to 60 years old,” said Norman. “Spondylolisthesis is a condition causing back pain that I feel confident I can fix with an operation,” he said. “In most cases we’re able to return people to their normal way of living.” For more information about the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, call 865-541-2835 or visit fsregional.com/minimallyinvasive.

Drain hole debris blamed for flooding By Jake Mabe Drain hole debris is being blamed for the flooding across from Powell Middle School that occurred during a brief rain on Feb. 3-4 on Emory Road near the new Food City. “There are some drain holes in the median north of the Food City that cause some water to build up on the road if they get stopped up with debris and require TDOT maintenance forces to clean them out,” said TDOT Region 1 spokesperson Mark Nagi. “It doesn’t seem to be a capacity problem, just a site that requires regular routine maintenance to function properly.” A black 2013 Kia Rio driven by Tammy Kropff of New Market ran off of West Emory Road near Staffordshire Boulevard at 11:45 p.m. Feb. 3.

McIntyre is focus of 6th District slugfest

Rogero to offer budget options Recently, Mayor Rogero held a budget retreat with City Council at the Convention Center, outlining budget issues as her staff saw them.

Victor Ashe

She said she would present a 6 percent cut in one city budget and another budget that would fund the increase for the city pensions, cost-of-living raises and infrastructure projects. The second budget would entail a city property-tax increase, but the mayor was silent on the specific amount. What is interesting here is Rogero is working to have the council advise her on what to do as opposed to advocating the exact plan she favors. In this way she can share more of the responsibility with council if it becomes a tax hike. Having proposed several tax hikes and a few tax cuts myself as mayor, including a referendum submitted to the voters in 1988, I felt the mayor should lead when it came to revenues. Part of leadership is persuading City Council and citizens to support the mayor’s recommendation. Mayor Rogero was forceful in advocating the no-build alternative to the James White Parkway extension in South Knox, to her credit. She was forceful in advocating a pension-change charter amendment in 2012. She can do it here, too. How did the mayor arrive at a 6 percent cut for one budget as opposed to a 4 percent or 2 percent cut? The budget documents refer to cost-of-living raises, but the truth is different. The 2.5 percent pay adjustment is more than the cost of living. It is an employee pay raise. Perhaps a 2.5 percent pay raise as required by ordinance is justified, but it is not truth in advertising to call it a cost-of-living adjustment. Mayor Rogero will present her budget on April 24 to City Council. There is $60 million in the city’s fund balance, which has grown by $40 million in the past 10 years. It will be hard to explain why city residents must pay more property taxes with such a large fund balance.

tension for himself, despite widespread teacher unrest. He won, 8-1, but created serious political problems for his supporters. He also created a clearcut litmus question for school-board candidates: Would you have voted to extend McIntyre’s contract? Here’s what the candidates say: Brad Buchanan would have voted no. Terry Hill would have made a motion to postpone the vote for 120 days to give McIntyre a chance to show that he’s listening to teachers. If her motion failed, she says, she would have voted no. Sandra Rowcliffe would have been a resounding yes vote, based on her statements in support of Mc-

Intyre at public meetings. Tamara Shepherd would not only have voted no on the contract extension, but also would support McIntyre’s removal, based on her detailed contributions to a local blog. Aaron Hennen has decided to withdraw from the race and support Shepherd. Buchanan, an IT professional and a former highschool business-education teacher, has a master’s degree, is married to a teacher and has four school-aged children. He has deep misgivings about McIntyre’s methods and will have strong support from teachers in the district and across the county. Hill was a school social worker with 30 years’ experience in Knox County Schools who was a supervisor when she retired. She is deeply involved in the push to get Hardin Valley a middle school. Rowcliffe, president of the Knox County Council PTA, has been one of Mc-

Intyre’s most vocal supporters. Shepherd was an accountant who made the decision to become a stay-at-home mom and get involved in the public-school education of her two children, becoming one of Knox County’s most knowledgeable (and probably most annoying, to those on her bad list) citizens on school matters. Hennen is a master’s degree-level high school band director who plans to get his doctorate in the near future. He says he researched all the candidates and finds Shepherd’s views to be the most straightforward and best informed of the bunch. The push to build a Hardin Valley Middle School will likely be the biggest issue not named McIntyre in District 6. Noon on Thursday, Feb. 20, is the deadline to turn in nominating petitions. Noon on Thursday, Feb. 27, is the deadline for candidates to withdraw.

Dewhirst developing Depot property Jake Mabe “The fire there (in March 2013) burned the two best buildings and left us with the three worst,” Dewhirst said. “It’s a pretty neat street that has long been neglected and blighted. This will glue and connect Fourth and Gill and the old (North Knoxville) neighborhoods to downtown Knoxville.” He adds that he is “pretty confident we can find a couple of folks,” to open a destination restaurant, “if we can get people to believe that it’s going to be great.” He says he is “very confident” that the residential space will succeed, “but restaurant/retail is the hard part. We just believe that the right blend of persuasion of the right folks at the

right time can draw a very unique startup restaurant. “If we can (help) the first folks to be successful, it will be magic, we think.” ■

County notes

Knox County Commission will hold its work session at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, because of the Presidents Day holiday today (Monday, Feb. 17). Items for discussion include: ■ A resolution approving a real estate sales contract for $17,000 plus the buyer’s premium with Tom Miller for property located at 7128 Tazewell Pike, the former Gibbs Convenience Center. ■ A resolution granting the necessary easements on the Knox County side of Beaver Creek for the proposed Regal Bridge project that will connect Regal’s Halls headquarters to the Halls Greenway Trail. ■ A resolution requesting the Public Building Au-

they are hard to watch. Some nights they come charging out of the gate as if to strangle opponents, 10-0 jump start, bang, you’re finished. Other nights, they come strolling along on their way to a picnic and get slower as they go. They lose to Texas A&M. Either way, high octane or just coasting, the coach can’t explain it. “Your guess is as good as mine,” he said. That is scary. Martin is not big on flamethrowing pep talks, spiced with colorful adjectives. He thinks all players should show up ready to play. He was. He thinks the desire to win should be built in. There are so few games guaranteed,

just four seasons, to do the best you can to make marvelous memories. This may be the most talent Cuonzo Martin ever has in his coaching career. That it would fall so far below expectations is confusing. Was the forecast flawed? Southeastern Conference contender. No more of that hand-wringing NCAA bubble stuff. No more excuses. We thought Antonio Barton was the answer at point guard. He isn’t. We thought Jeronne Maymon had overcome injuries and ailments and would be what he once was. He is a gladiator, but he’s lost some quickness and explosion. Jarnell Stokes is a double-

double. We thought he had developed a jump shot. Not yet. We were certain Robert Hubbs III, five-star recruit, would make a big difference. There are brilliant freshmen all across America. Didn’t happen here. Some games, Jordan McRae is the best offensive player in the league and one of the best in the country. Going 1-for-15 is inexplicable. Darius Thompson is often a precise system engineer. Alas, he doesn’t shoot and can’t guard good guards. Others have that problem. Armani Moore is a hustle guy. Some games, he has been used as the fast fuse to ignite listless teammates. Strangely enough, some games he doesn’t play.

Nobody said Tennessee was a championship team. Syracuse has better players. So do 10 or 15 other teams. Two play in the Southeastern Conference. Nobody is saying this season is over. There is still a way to break into the tournament, but it will require a change. Even if shooting forever fluctuates, everything else must become dependable. This is the frantic time of year. If this veteran team does not get it together, Tennessee basketball will need life support – and a mask for empty seats at Thompson-Boling. That is not good. Old, black curtains are so ugly.

The effective detective: Pat Patterson An intricate part of any community is local law enforcement. The Concord/ Farragut communities had the best of the best in Constable W.O. “Pat” Patterson. I talked to his son Bud recently, and the conversation eventually got around to his father. Bud was a classmate at Farragut High and enjoyed a long career with Delta Airlines. After retirement, he compiled a family history that could easily be turned into a novel about the legendary law-enforcement officer who had a reputation of being “untouchable” in dealing with crime in Knox County. Bud lent me the book only on condition that I would guard it with my life. I knew Pat Patterson as someone who always attended Farragut sporting events and was at ease talking to a teenager who just wanted to get a better view

Malcolm Shell of his revolver. During Pat’s long career, he served as a U.S. marshal, a county detective in several administrations and as a constable duly elected by the people. In the early 1950s, modern crime-detection techniques, such as examining DNA and browsing extensive computer databases, were still decades into the future. The effective detective had to rely on observation skills and the ability to establish and maintain a large network of informants to feed credible information. Pat Patterson excelled in both areas. While he was dealing with people whom society might not consider

model citizens, he always treated everyone – even convicted felons – with respect and dignity. Many of the cases Pat handled involved serious felonies, including homicides, armed robbery and auto-theft rings. Other cases were not so serious. Those I found to be amusing and even almost comical. One involved a bootlegger who built a modernstyle home without any interior walls and had installed several stills heated by propane gas. Casually driving through the neighborhood, Pat wondered why a new house would have heat waves wafting out the chimney in midsummer. A closer inspection revealed the true purpose of the new home. Another crime involved the rustling of a family milk cow, which the young rustler planned to sell to get

“spending money.” Slick detective work turned up the rustler with the stolen merchandise in tow. Bessie was returned to her owner. Perhaps one of the most unusual cases involved a young, soon-to-be-married groom who lacked the essentials needed to set up housekeeping. Now, in most cases, the bride is thrown several showers to acquire basic household needs. In the absence of such events, the groom decided to take matters into his own hands. He itemized everything needed to set up housekeeping and burglarized several homes, taking only the essential items. But he did get one break. He was let out of jail long enough to get married, but he was unable to talk the authorities into extending his freedom long enough to

include a honeymoon. He had to wait several months for that. Another case was the artificial flowers purloined from a local cemetery. Pat cracked this case rather quickly. The flowers were returned to their gravesites. It was not clear what the thieves planned to do with the stolen merchandise, nor was there much information on the outcome of the case or their punishment. Perhaps they just had to agree to maintain the cemetery for a time. The true genius of Pat’s record became known for the first time when he retired. Hal Clement, who was Knox County Attorney General in the 1940s and 1950s, said Pat solved more criminal cases during his career than the rest of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office com-

bined. Former Knox County Sheriff Archie Weaver said Pat’s fine work was the primary reason there were no unsolved homicides during his administration. Forty years after his retirement, Pat’s name is still known in law-enforcement circles. Pat’s grandson, TBI agent Mark Irwin, noted that as late as 2010, Pat’s record for number of crimes solved was only recently broken. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s mythical sleuth Sherlock Holmes used logic and meticulous observation to solve crimes. But Pat Patterson, our beloved constable, was no myth. He was a modern-day Sherlock who used the same methods to solve crimes without the benefit of today’s modern crime-detection technology.

Conceived as an imwhat I heard and began Dan Berry, who retired as WUOT’s program director in 2010, started collecting records of vocalists as a ninthgrader in Dearborn, Mich.

Carol’s Corner

Collector Dan Berry poses with some of his 10,000 recordings.

provement over 78s, they predated the long-playing record (LP) by 10 years but didn’t really catch on. “The Depression hit, and no one had money for records.” Anyone who tuned in to WUOT will instantly recognize Berry’s beautiful baritone speaking voice. He was host of the Morning Concert for all those years. In retirement, he now plays records for his dog,

Buddy, and says, “He usually just leaves the room.” Berry comes from a musical family. His parents were both singers and music teachers; two brothers are musicians; and his daughter Becca teaches vocal music at South-Doyle High School. His own training was in vocal performance, foreign languages and conducting at the University of Michigan.

After graduating, he headed to Germany to pursue a singing career but wasn’t able to find work in an opera house. He returned to the U.S. and settled in Milwaukee, where he eventually became a radio announcer. He met his wife, Nancy, while in Wisconsin. They count 39 happy years together. In 1983, he accepted a job as announcer at WUOT.

He still enjoys singing and performs occasionally in recitals, at local churches and with Knoxville Opera. On April 25 and 26, he’ll perform with Westminster Presbyterian’s Westminster Players in “A Night with Gilbert and Sullivan.” He teaches music appreciation at Pellissippi State and also enjoys walking in Lakeshore Park with Buddy. He and Nancy have taken several cruises. And their first grandchild is on the way. “But you could say I’m spending my retirement learning,” he says. “I find myself losing hours in a day, and I realized that I’m just reading: music history, biography, history, political thought, fiction. “I can very easily amuse myself all day by just sitting in this room,” he admits, as he gestures to his cozy retreat, all four walls crammed with the results of his lifelong love of music.

Parkhill follows ‘accidental’ path to New Play Festival By Betsy Pickle Growing up in Knoxville near what was then the Ijams family home, Tom Parkhill carved out his own trails in the not-so-urban wilderness. As an adult, he has carved out a career in the jungle of the acting business – theater, for the most part, but with forays into film. He is legendary in certain circles for appearing in 1986’s “King Kong Lives,” director John Guillermin’s sequel to his more successful 1976 “King Kong” remake. “I was in the movie from the first day of shooting till the last day of shooting,” says Parkhill, who is credited as “Radioman.” “I didn’t do that much in it, but I was there.”

What isn’t as widely known is that while he was shooting in Wilmington, N.C., his hotel neighbor was Ozzy Osbourne, who was in town filming a role in the horror film “Trick or Treat.” “His suite faced the beach,” says Parkhill. “My small room around the corner faced the parking lot. But we were right there, me and Ozzy.” He says the rock musician-turned-reality star was very neighborly. “There was a party in his suite every night. He graciously invited me over a lot. I behaved very modestly and went to bed early.” That’s the official story. But Parkhill clearly survived, and though he continued to travel for jobs, he eventually settled down in

Knoxville and became the founding artistic director of the Tennessee Stage Company. TSC is beloved for putting on Shakespeare on the Square each summer on Market Square. But its winter tradition is the New Play Festival. Gayle Greene’s “Tic Toc” is this year’s featured production and will have its world premiere with a March 7-23 run at Theatre Knoxville Downtown. Table readings of other new plays will take place at various Knox County libraries Feb. 18-March 1, and staged readings will be held March 15 and 22 at Theatre Knoxville Downtown. TSC’s first production in November 1989 was “The Foreigner,” the award-winning 1984 play by Larry Shue.

Its second production in December 1989 was a world premiere of a new play. “Developing and producing new plays was always one of the absolute tenets of the idea for the company,” says Parkhill. “In the first few years we did four world premieres. In ’95, we started what we called the New Play Festival, but that was just because we couldn’t produce a new play, so we did some readings. For two or three years, we did readings and discussions with the authors.” In 1998, the company once again produced a world premiere, combining it with the series of readings it had been doing, and the current form of the New Play Festival was established. Parkhill’s career – as an

actor, director, producer and artistic director (not to mention stage manager, designer and technician) – isn’t what he expected when he entered UT as a history major with plans to become a teacher. He had done some plays at high school, but acting in college was “accidental.” “I never really pursued an acting job,” he says. “I got acting offers from companies to come and work, and so I took them because I needed a job, and it was better than working in a restaurant or bagging groceries – the jobs you do when you’re in college.” While he finished his degree, his fate was sealed. “... Pretty soon I was stuck,” he says with a grin. “I had no skills; there was Tom Parkhill nothing else I could do.”

Aglow with New Living By Cindy Taylor Sharon Welch, senior pastor of New Living Faith Community Church in Knoxville, brought her wisdom and faith to the Knoxville Chapter of Aglow. The group met Feb. 4 at New Covenant Fellowship Church to hear Welch speak about her first published book, “The Awesome Power of God’s Light.” Welch has pastored a church for 25 years and has 30 years’ experience in community ministry. She says she has a heart to see all people, especially children, become who God has ordained them to be. Her book focuses on helping those who are seeking the presence of God find their path through a daily journey. “I have been writing for years,” said Welch. “I did a sermon on God’s light and

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. (Psalm 145: 3-7 KJV)

When the soundtrack started, Mother exclaimed, “That’s Tennessee Ernie!” Daddy said, “No, it couldn’t be.” But Mother insisted, and the final credits proved her right. “Sixteen Tons” followed soon after, and not long after that, Mr. Ford had a weekly television show. His trademark was that he ended each show by singing a hymn. “Those who know best” in the entertainment industry warned him not to do it, that it would not be received well by the television audience. It was Ernie’s show, however, and he loved the old hymns, and he was, by golly, going to sing one every week. The audience – both in the studio and at home – loved it.

Aglow president Diane Shelby greets member Georgia Lee Chambers at the Feb. 4 meeting. Photos by Cindy Taylor kept adding to it, and eventually it became this book.” Welch has other books already in progress. Her first publication is available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and xulonpress.com. Aglow International was established in 1967 as an interdenominational movement made up of women and men with a single purpose: to see God’s will be done on earth as it is in

heaven through prayer, local groups, events and outreaches. “Our goal is to love each other, reach the lost, help those in need and grow in the Lord,” said Knoxville Day Lighthouse Chapter president Diane Shelby. The next meeting of Aglow KDLH Chapter will be April 1. Scheduled speaker is Mary Bolton. Info: Diane Shelby, 687-3687.

It was later that he started making records, and several of those were collections of hymns: standards, old-time favorites, spirituals – he did them all. When his recording of “Precious Memories” came out, it was a new hymn to me, but my mother remembered her father and mother singing it in church. Interestingly, the composer of that old hymn was a Tennessean also: J.B.F. Wright, born Feb. 21, 1877. (I had chosen this subject for this week’s column before I knew that the composer’s birthdate was this week: happenstance? coincidence? Kismet? Interestingly, these days I can’t remember what was on my grocery list because I didn’t remember to take the list with me to the store!

But when I woke up with the song “Memories, light the corners of my mind, misty watercolor memories of the way we were” running through my head, I knew that “Precious Memories” was where this column was headed. And, like the folk songs I learned in high school, which I can still sing in their entirety, these are precious memories, laid down in the bedrock of my memory, far below and sturdier than more recent lyrics or events. A wise man said that the only Scripture available to you when you most need it is what you carry in your head. The same is true of your hymnody. It is wise to tuck away some powerful verses from the Bible and a few sturdy hymns to get you through!

Four Powell athletes ink college papers By Cindy Taylor

Powell High School honors students Brandon Evans and Peyton Smiley practice handing out fliers for Advanced Placement/Honors night with the help of PHS parent and guidance counselor Marlo Bales and honors students Ben Sergent and Alanna Heatherly.

Hagen Owenby signed a letter of intent to play both football and baseball at ETSU. A four-year letterman in football and All District 3-AAA in baseball, Owenby is touted as being one of the best all-around athletes in the recent history of PHS. Kicker/punter Austin Rogers signed a letter of intent with the University of Pikeville. During his time with the Panthers, Rogers earned multiple Special Teams Player of the Year awards and secured a spot on the All District team.

Advanced Placement courses are college-level courses offered in high school. Honors students frequent many of these classes. Parents of students who have been identified as likely to succeed on AP exams have received an invitation to attend the Powell High School Honors/Advanced Placement night at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 20. “Advanced Placement classes help provide an expectation of what college is like and can help students stand out on college applications,” said assistant principle Melissa Glover. Students in these classes often find school more challenging, and they feel better prepared for college. Parents who attend the event will

She has loved the sport since she was 4 and will be her family’s first daughter to leave home. “Her leaving will be hard, but she is such a great kid and we are so proud of her,” said mom Felecia Turner. Gilley played goalkeeper for the Panthers and will keep that position in college. She plans to pursue a career in special education. Jacob Huffaker signed to play soccer for Lee University. He has played soccer since he was 5 years old and was goalkeeper for the Panthers for four years. He will continue in that position at Lee. Huffaker plans to study business. “Soccer is my life. I have had a good relationship with the coach at Lee since I was a sophomore,” said Huffaker. “I fell in love with the school when I visited, Teacher Kara Israel and student Sammy Ray sulk in jail during and I love the program.” the Pleasant Ridge Elementary Valentine’s dance.

Valentines in jail

■

The annual familyfriendly Valentine’s dance at Pleasant Ridge Elementary included some jail time for a few “lucky” people. The PTO fundraiser brought dancing, pizza and cupcakes, and for the small fee of $1 attendees could send their favorite, or notso-favorite, person to the lockup. But it was all in fun. This year’s profits will go toward a new LED sign to be installed close to the road in front of the school.

Acts of kindness By Ruth White Students at BrickeyMcCloud participated in national Random Acts of Kindness week and found ways to encourage others. Each morning Student Council members shared an Act of Kindness story on WBES news and followed up by performing an act of kindness for staff members. Students were able to record

their acts on colorful hearts that were placed on a bulletin board in the hallway. Laura Lawson’s 2nd grade class created homeless kits and distributed them to staff members. Inside each kit was a pair of socks, bottle of water, soap, toothbrush, snack and more. Each kit will be passed on to individuals in need when the situation arises.

Safety patrol fundraising By Ruth White

Members of the Adrian Burnett Elementary School safety patrol meet to discuss fundraising plans. Pictured are: (front) Jordan Bishop, Tristan Webb, Jeremy Weinberg, Matthew

Matteson, Emily Davis, Stevie Fann; (back) Keeli Williams, Kaylin Shipman, Allyson Scott, Grayson Buchanan and Chesney Harris.

Holston’s ‘Aladdin’ great entertainment By Ruth White Holston Middle School choral students spent weeks rehearsing, and their hard work paid off. The production of “Aladdin Jr.,” directed by Natalee Beeler Elkins and choreographed by Daniel Lineberger, proved to be a musical success for the group. During the Saturday matinée, Elizabeth Mitchell played the Genie and was as humorous as Robin Williams in the movie version. Mitchell put a little 2014 spin on her character, which brought the house to laughter many times. When Aladdin found the lamp and the Genie appeared, she described life saying, “It could have only been worse if Justin Bieber were my neighbor.” Later Princess Jasmine was introduced to Prince Ali, and when given no choice in her life, she fled the room. Genie replied, “She took off faster than Paula Deen’s sponsors.” Bravo to Elkins, Lineberger and cast for the highly entertaining performance of “Aladdin.”

The fundraising activities at Adrian Burnett Elementary are under way, and student Jordan Bishop is pleased with the results to date. Bishop is a 5th-grader in Gregory Green’s class who came up with the idea to help his classmates attend the annual Safety Patrol trip to Washington, D.C., in the spring. Bishop wants his friends to be able to go on the trip, even if money is an issue.

He and his mom got together and brainstormed on ways to raise enough money to help everyone go. The group has been busy selling doughnuts and preparing for craft fairs and a dance for the 5th-grade students to attend. Upcoming events include candy bar sales to begin Tuesday, Feb. 18; a winter craft show at the FC Lions Club Friday-Saturday, Feb. 21-22, and a winter dance at the Boys and Girls Club Friday, Feb. 28.

of company with a different kind of management philosophy, and the difference is obvious to visitors who walk in the door. Employees, who are called associates, are allowed – even encouraged – to bring their dogs to work. And the boss doesn’t have an office. Or, as Randy Boyd prefers to describe the work environment at 10427 PetSafe Way, he has a great big office: “Actually, we only have an open area. I like to tell people that I maintain an office of 6,000-10,000 square feet; however, I do share it with my associates, and I move my desk to a different department every year. Before the state job, my desk was in the Customer Care area.”

It began as the “Drive to 55” proposition to increase the number of the state’s college graduates to 55 percent by 2025 and evolved into a plan to offer high-school graduates two years of community college at no cost.

Drinkwell Pet Fountains and Innotek training products. In all, Boyd estimates that the company produces around 4,600 pet products. Worldwide, Radio Systems has some 650 employees, 350 in Knox County. Additionally, there are 3040 employees in Virginia, 40-50 in Ohio, 100 in China, 30 in Ireland, 15 in Australia and three in Japan, with offices in seven countries. Employees can apply for jobs overseas, Boyd said. “I always dream big, but (the business has) definitely gone in directions that I didn’t expect and directions that I’m very proud and happy about. We have focused less on electronics and more on pets, and I’m happy that we are. “And the scope of giving back to our community has exceeded anything I could have imagined.” The first step to applying for employment at PetSafe is to prepare a resume and go to http://www.petsafe. net/about-us/working-atpetsafe for instructions.

And Boyd has a hint for applicants: The Customer Care department offers important entry-level opportunities with the potential for advancement. “We love to have great candidates in the wings to take new positions. Most of our jobs are things two years ago I wouldn’t have dreamed we would need. Five years ago, a team of software engineers wasn’t on my radar,” Boyd said.

Frontier Communications operations teams in Tennessee are continuing preparations for possible severe weather and are advising customers about steps they can take during inclement weather. “With the arrival of this winter storm, Frontier employees are prepared to respond to any service difficulties our customers may experience,” said Mike Byrd, general manager for Frontier. “We also want to provide customers useful tips that can help them during severe weather.” The company advised: ■ Customers who rely on cordless phones should consider plugging a traditional corded phone directly into the wall. In the event of a commercial power outage, corded phones will still operate; cordless phones will not. If commercial power is unavailable, generators and batteries in Frontier’s central offices serve as a backup. Phone lines generally

will have enough power in them to use a corded phone. ■ Customers’ voicemail boxes are protected within Frontier’s network and will continue to operate even during a power loss. ■ Be sure to charge wireless devices, such cell phones, laptops and tablet devices, in advance of severe weather. Byrd said residents should stay far away from any downed cables or power lines. Contact Frontier at 800-921-8102 (business) or 800-921-8101 (residential) to report fallen telephone poles or cables. Drivers are encouraged to use extra caution when they see one of our team members working close to highways, especially when they are in the air on a ladder, Byrd said. “We are committed to maintaining telecommunications services to our residential and commercial customers even during severe weather conditions.”

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

Temple Academy adds SACS CASI Accreditation Since 1988, Temple Baptist Academy has been an accredited member of the Tennessee Association of Christian Schools (TACS). Effective Jan. 24, 2014, AdvancED/SACS CASI ofﬁcially extended dual accreditation to Temple Baptist Academy. SACS CASI provides nationally-recognized accreditation, the purpose of which is continuous school improvement focused on increasing student performance. To earn accreditation, schools must meet SACS CASI’s high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school

and implement a continuous process of school improvement. “Accreditation demonstrates to our students, parents and community that we are focused on raising student achievement, providing a safe and enriching learning environment, and maintaining an efﬁcient and effective operation staffed by highly qualiﬁed educators,” stated Principal David Whitaker. SACS CASI accreditation is recognized across state lines, which not only eases the transfer process as students move from accredited school to accredited school, but also

Enrollment open for Fall 2014 Temple Baptist Academy is now accepting applications for the 2014-15 school year. In order to ensure the best possible opportunity for acceptance we recommend that you have your application completed by or before May 1. Temple Baptist Academy admits students of any race, color and national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color and national or ethnic origin in administration of its education, admissions policies, tuition assistance, athletics and other school-administered programs. If you have questions or would like to set up an appointment, please contact our Ofﬁce of Admissions at 938-8181.

assures parents that the school is meeting nationally accepted standards for quality and successful professional practice. Dr. Mark Elgart, President/ CEO of AdvancED, the parent organization of SACS CASI, stated, “SACS CASI Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school on the primary goal of creating lifelong learners. Temple Baptist Academy is to be commended for engaging in this process and demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement.” Info: www.advanc-ed.org

The Royal Crusader Scholarship Fund: Investing in the lives of children Making a Christian education accessible is a priority at Temple Baptist Academy. The Royal Crusader Scholarship Fund is a needs-based tuition assistance program for qualifying families who desire a strong biblical foundation and rigorous academic preparation for their children. Scholarship assistance is available on a limited basis to academy students whose families meet established ﬁnancial need criteria. Tuition aid is offered as a means to partially assist those who, without scholarship, would

not be able to attend the academy. This assistance is made possible by private donations. For the 2013-2014 school year, Temple Baptist academy provided more than $300,000 in tuition aid to the families of more than 130 students. No student is given tuition assistance for academic or athletic ability. The average tuition assistance grant is not intended to cover a family’s total tuition costs. Each recipient family is responsible for payment of the tuition and fees above the grant amount. Parents must reapply each

year for tuition assistance. Each year, the tuition assistance application process will include an evaluation of the level of academic effort, cooperation and commitment to Christian education on the part of both the parents and student. For more information regarding ﬁnancial assistance, or to invest in the lives of children through the scholarship program, contact the academy ofﬁce at 938-8181 or visit TempleBaptistAcademy. com.

Temple sophomore invited to Washington, D.C. Alex Gann, a sophomore at Temple Baptist Academy, has been nominated to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C., Feb. 14-16. The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research ﬁelds. Gann was nominated by Dr. Connie Mariano, the Medical Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists, based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the

ﬁeld of medicine. During the three-day Congress, Alex Gann will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what is to be expected in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.
