BUZZ Why Trump wins Count me among the skeptics who thought Donald Trump would blow over as a serious candidate. But after watching the debates and the early primaries, I finally get it. Donald J. Trump – casino-building, old-lady-evicting, multimarried, bankruptcy-filing wild man with three wives and five kids – is headed for the White House.

Brantley wants relief on towing Knox County at-large commissioner Ed Brantley apparently believes that when a citizen comes to public forum, asking for help on an issue, that someone ought to pay attention. This is an odd notion that surely will be squelched. For now Brantley’s trampled on a sacred sheriff’s office prerogative. Stand by to learn the outcome. It started when Paul Johnson appeared at an earlier commission meeting to complain that he got a towing/ storage bill for more than $500 after a Thanksgiving weekend wreck rendered his car undrivable.

Powell tract in play, could be restaurant By Sandra Clark Knox County Commission has voted to ask MPC to amend the North County Sector Plan to enable rezoning of land owned by Dr. James Sternberg on Emory Road. He and wife Kelly and former commissioner Larry Dr. Sternberg Stephens and wife Kenna had proposed a town center development on a 35-acre tract fronting on Emory Road just west of the Powell branch library. Operating under the partner-

ship Sternberg and Stephens, they obtained TC Zoning in September 2005. Their dream was to create a condo complex with village-type shops and connection to Beaver Creek. James Sternberg made several speeches about The Villas at Bell Meadow and compiled a list of people interested in buying a condo there. But economic conditions changed in 2008, tightening credit and limiting development. Attorney John King told the county commission on Feb. 22 that Dr. Sternberg has been unable to develop the property in more than 10 years and “nobody wants to take on the whole tract.�

King did indicate, however, that a “good, sit-down restaurant� wants to locate on a portion of the land. He asked that the zoning be changed to CA, or general commercial. MPC staff in January recommended against that change, preferring to see the land remain residential. The former A.B. and Sally Bell home has been restored and has an historic overlay, King said. The Bells’ great-granddaughter, Rebecca Bell Jenkins, now practices law in a smaller home just west of the original homeplace. On a motion by Commissioner Charles Busler, the commission granted King’s request. Now the

property returns to the MPC for reconsideration. “Dr. Sternberg is a good neighbor,� said Busler. Commissioner John Schoonmaker said the Sternberg tract is too small to be zoned for a town center. The only other such parcel in Knox County is Northshore Town Center off Pellissippi Parkway. After a sputtering start, the center has developed commercially with limited residential starts. No one stood in opposition to the rezoning, which would affect the land north of the railroad tracks only. The land across the tracks to Beaver Creek would remain undeveloped.

Tennova taps Clyde Wood as north leader Clyde Wood is the chief executive officer of North Knoxville Medical Center (Tennova North), effective March 14. Wood has been serving as CEO at Lakeway Regional Hospital in Morristown since February 2013. He replaces Clyde Wood Rob Followell who relocated to the Nashville area as administrator of four hospitals. Wood also served as CEO at Tennova Healthcare - Volunteer Martin, and Twin Rivers Regional Medical Center in Kennett, Missouri. He has held other adminis-

trative roles at hospitals in Louisiana and Missouri. During his tenure at Lakeway Regional Hospital, Wood steered several capital projects and equipment purchases, such as extensive renovations to the medicalsurgical and intensive care units. He successfully recruited primary care and specialty physicians to the medical staff, including orthopedic, urology and family medicine physicians. Under Wood’s leadership, Lakeway Regional Hospital has experienced positive gains in both employee and physician satisfaction over the past three years. “As a highly respected member of Tennova’s leadership team, Clyde is a great choice for this po-

sition,� said Neil Heatherly, CEO of Physicians Regional Medical Center and Tennova Healthcare’s East Tennessee market leader. “Tapping Clyde for this role also speaks to the deep bench strength that Tennova has developed in the East Tennessee market.� Dr. James Griffin, an internal medicine physician and chair of the CEO interview committee at Tennova North, said, “Clyde has the right combination of experience and skills to make a positive impact on the quality of care we provide to patients and families in this community.� Wood started his career in healthcare as a licensed physical therapist. He earned his bachelor’s

degree from Central Methodist College in Fayette, Missouri; a master’s degree in physical therapy from Washington University in St. Louis; and a master’s degree in health administration from Missouri State University in Springfield. Wood also served in the United States Army Reserve for eight years. Tennova Healthcare includes 17 hospitals and more than 100 physician clinics. The combined network includes approximately 2,600 licensed beds, 2,400 physicians on the combined active medical staffs, and 9,600 employees, with more than 75,000 admissions and 460,000 emergency department visits each year.

Guilty: Even if somehow exonerated By Marvin West The Title IX lawsuit against the University of Tennessee may bounce around in the courts for three or four years but the preliminary trial is already over.

Analysis The university, the athletic department in particular, has lost in the eyes and ears of the general public. The degree of presumed guilt varies. Those who know the least about the case think the transgressions are monumental. Officially, UT has a choice. It can surrender, pay big and make many changes, or counter-attack with hand grenades. Unofficially, macho types think they can prevail. Could be, but ‌ The barrage of media blows was staggering but not enough for an absolute knockout at home. The football Volunteers are almost sacred. They are also the financial engine of all UT sports, yea, even women’s sports. The Vols must win. I say scrub the deck as needed but don’t sink the ship. There is a mortgage. The university? Another big deal. Even though it seeks to be one of the best in the country, it is not so sacred. It consumes tax dollars, keeps raising tuition and spends big on diversity frivolity. This Title IX stuff is contagious. Better beware. The U.S. Depart-

ment of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is currently investigating 204 cases of sexual violence at 164 colleges and universities. Even if this sizzling Tennessee lawsuit burns itself out, the heat was awesome. The orange image is scarred. There are alarming numbers of anonymous accusers. There are complications and conflicts. That some changed their story between then and now increases the smell of smoke. How bad were the hits? The Tennessean has been having a party. The New York Daily News went far beyond reporting the news. When a former Vol and a new Vol were arrested in the same week, the New York Post used the word “cesspool� to describe the football program. There will be a price to pay. Following the Missouri precedent, some “judges and juries� will call for the ouster of Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and athletic director Dave Hart. Their perceived guilt is lack of leadership. They were too quiet too long. A segment of the population long ago convicted Hart’s supposed view of women. Payoffs in gender discrimination suits were proof. Strife over the Lady Vols nickname and logo was the final straw. Dr. Cheek has been as still as the proverbial church house mouse. Some critics will call for cultural adjustments, no-fault insurance for victims, no more excuses that “boys will be boys.� Women in men’s bedrooms at 3

in the morning shall be no cause for suspicion. Nobody will retain the right to ask “What was she doing there? Was she drinking?� Butch Jones faces a serious dilemma. He is praised for promoting law and order and even team dignity but is accused, under oath, of calling a player a traitor because he helped an alleged victim. Coach has denied the charge. Butch and all other coaches rallied around the flag, cheerleader style. They said UT is safe and sound. Sam Winterbotham, tennis coach, said he hopes his four young daughters choose to attend UT. Football Vols were praised. “I’ve never been around a group of young men who were so respectful,’’ swim coach Matt Kredich said. He was an honorary football coach during the 2013 Orange and White Game. Beth Alford-Sullivan, director of track and field, said much the same. Her teams share indoor training facilities with football. “There is a huge amount of respect and a huge amount of care for each other.’’ Holly Warlick, women’s basketball coach, defended the entire athletic department. Of course some of her players go to parties with football players. They are friends. “I just tell them, ‘You have to make the right choices.’� Holly has cautioned her players not to walk alone at night, as if cavemen were hiding in the

bushes. The threat, if there is one, is social interaction with loose or no boundaries. Ah, but the culture is described as healthy. It will, nevertheless, undergo inspection. There will be other studies. One will conclude that criminal accusations should be investigated by real detectives, not committees. Even if a court finds the complaints are exaggerated, no way the university comes completely clean. Title IX is about women’s rights. There is no ceiling. The military front row in ground warfare, the right to be blown to pieces or captured and tortured unmercifully, was the ultimate victory for women. They, too, are Marines. Equal pay and proper respect are kid stuff. In the lawsuit, the university is blamed for enabling an environment of bad behavior. The disciplinary system is said to favor athletes. Administrators are accused of deliberate indifference. The suit seeks to remedy all ills, starting with the Tennessee Uniform Administrative Procedure Act, applicable to many institutions. The 1982 legislative idea was to assure due process. In reality, it is slow. The suit says protection of football came at any cost, even when the charge was rape. Rape is bad. So is premeditated lynching. Let’s have a real trial. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Tackling tough sinus problems Steriods, nose spray, antibiotics and antihistamines – all are used to manage the symptoms of sinus sufferers. But what if these standard treatments are not eliminating the problem? Numerous sinus infections lasting longer than four weeks may require a sinus surgery procedure. Successful sinus surgeries clear the natural sinus passageways, allowing normal drainage. Restoring normal sinus drainage helps to reduce the number of sinus infections, improve the airflow though the nasal passages, and can even recover a patient’s sense of smell. Today’s technology allows for a variety of options depending on a patient’s current sinus situation. Two of the most effective procedures performed at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center are balloon sinuplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery.

Much like angioplasty opens coronary arteries, balloon sinuplasty utilizes a nonlatex balloon to open the sinuses. Once the balloon is deflated and removed, the sinus is clear to drain. Illustration courtesy of Entellus

Christie Brooks found herself a victim of constant sickness. Whether it be a headache, cold symptoms, nasal pressure or fatigue she just couldn’t shake her flu-like symptoms. Brooks suffers from sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation of body tissues, particularly the lungs. She was certain that sarcoidosis was the culprit of her sickness but after being admitted to the hospital with an upper respiratory infection, a CT scan revealed the problem. Brooks had developed nasal polyps in her sinuses. Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. They hang down like teardrops or grapes. They result from chronic inflammation due to asthma, recurring infection, allergies, drug sensitivity or certain immune disorders-like sarcoidosis.

These polyps were not allowing Christy’s sinuses to drain normally, causing chronic sinusitis. When her lung doctor saw the CT results, she was promptly referred to Fort Sanders ear, nose, and throat physician Dr. Clyde Mathison. “Dr. Mathison explained the entire situation to me. He genuinely cared about my health and felt like sinus surgery was the best solution to my problems, “stated Brooks. In December 2014, Dr. Mathison performed endoscopic sinus surgery on Christie Brooks at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. During the procedure, he removed the polyps, cleared passages, and restored natural drainage pathways in the nose. “I woke up and had instant relief,” recalls Brooks, “The sinus pressure and headaches were gone immediately after the surgery.”

ditional approach of endoscopic sinus surgery is the solution to these issues.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery During this procedure, a tiny camera and light – called an endoscope – is inserted through the patient’s nostril. This helps to magnify and increase visibility of the sinus tissues. Once the sinuses are in clear view, special instruments are used to rid the sinuses of any blockages caused by sinusitis, nasal polyps or scar tissue. “Often times polyps form in the sinuses as a result of allergies or immune disorders. Polyps can cause headaches and sinus pressure that is easily relieved once polyps are removed in surgery,” states Dr. Mathison. Since endoscopic sinus surgery involves tissue removal, the recovery time can be a bit longer than that of a balloon sinuplasty. Patients can expect to return to their normal routines within one week after surgery.

What is chronic sinusitis?

Endoscopic sinus surgery leaves Knoxville woman breathing easy

up the nasal passageway where it is gently inflated to widen sinuses closed by swelling and inflammation. Once the balloon is deflated and removed, the sinus is clear to drain without the removal of any bone or tissue. Fort Sanders ear, nose and throat physician Dr. Clyde Mathison explains, “The balloon procedure offers eligible patients an alternative to traditional sinus surgery. By simply opening sinus pathways without removing any tissue, patients can heal very quickly and reduce the chances of recurring infection.” Since there is no cutting involved with this method, recovery time is substantially shorter than other treatments. Most people can return to work and normal activities within two days postsurgery. While balloon sinuplasty is very effective for certain sinus issues, it is not a solution for everyone. Patients who have chronic infections of the ethmoid sinuses between the eyes and patients with nasal polyps are not eligible for the balloon procedure. A tra-

Chronic sinusitis is a common condition in which the cavities around nasal passages (sinuses) become inflamed and swollen – for at least eight weeks, despite treatment attempts. Also known as chronic rhinosinusitis, this condition interferes with drainage and causes mucus to build up. If you have chronic sinusitis, it may be difficult to breathe through your nose. The area around your eyes and face may feel swollen, and you may have throbbing facial pain or a headache. Chronic sinusitis may be caused by an infection, but it can also be caused by growths in the sinuses (nasal polyps) or by a deviated nasal septum. Chronic sinusitis most commonly affects young and middleaged adults, but it also can affect children. Chronic sinusitis and acute sinusitis have similar signs and symptoms, but acute sinusitis is a temporary infection of the sinuses often associated with a cold. At least two of the following signs and symptoms must be present for a diagnosis of chronic sinusitis: ■ Drainage of a thick, yellow or greenish discharge from the nose or down the back of the throat ■ Nasal obstruction or congestion, causing difficulty breathing through your nose ■ Pain, tenderness and swelling around your eyes, cheeks, nose or forehead ■ Reduced sense of smell and taste

Other signs and symptoms can include: ■ Ear pain ■ Aching in your upper jaw and teeth ■ Cough, which may be worse at night ■ Sore throat ■ Bad breath (halitosis) ■ Fatigue or irritability ■ Nausea

This image shows the difference between a healthy sinus and an infected sinus

The signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis are similar to acute sinusitis, except they last longer and often cause more significant fatigue. Fever isn’t a common sign of chronic sinusitis, as it may be with acute sinusitis.

Affected sinuses There are four types of sinuses – maxillary (behind the cheek bones), ethmoid (between the eyes), frontal (in the forehead) and sphenoid (behind the eyes). All of these sinuses can be affected by sinusitis. The majority of cases involve the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses.

When to see a doctor You may have several episodes of acute sinusitis, lasting less than four weeks, before developing chronic sinusitis. If you are suffering from chronic sinusitis and need treatment from an ear, nose, and throat physician, visit your primary care doctor and ask for a referral.

that changes bad water into good. Since 2010, he has represented Aqua-Chem Global Water Solutions of Knoxville. His customers include major oil companies, cruise lines, municipalities (city of Vladivostok, Russia, for example), Caribbean islands and even the government of Kuwait. Jani works some of the circuit he traveled for 15 years when he sold boats for Sea Ray. Water is the connecting link.

Before that, Trupovnieks was an offensive tackle, 6-8 and 260, for the Vols, 198081. He finished his degree, had a very brief fling with the Oakland Raiders and faced the real world. “I sent out 400 resumes. Sea Ray was first to respond. I had a connection. My parents had moved to Knoxville and bought a house from a company executive. It just took six months of pestering Sea Ray for them to hire me.� He helped build boats until the company posted an opening in international sales.

50 countries, seeing some of the most unbelievable places, meeting some fascinating people and experiencing some thrills of a lifetime.� He took a 22-foot speed boat from Marbella, Spain, over to Gibraltar. He walked the streets of Amsterdam. He skied in Norway in subzero weather. A stiff breeze somehow turned his lift chair upside down. Exciting, very exciting. Jani made it to Moscow and walked through the Kremlin. In Rome, he saw St. Peters Square and the Vatican. In Berlin he visited Checkpoint Charlie. He was treated like royalty when he introduced Sea Rays into Finland. The boats and the country were a perfect match. He went boating along

the coast of France, from Cannes to San Tropez. He saw Monaco. He drove on the Autobahn. He visited his father’s birthplace in Latvia, and his mother’s in East Germany. He met relatives for the first time. There were none in America. Jani accumulated many rewards for commercial air miles, enough to fly his mother’s family to the U.S. (first class) for her 70th birthday party. Trupovnieks had a private jet for a three-week sales trip to South America. He didn’t stay long in Venezuela. “We were awakened by our pilots and told we must depart immediately due to a coup. I remember slipping out the back door of the hotel, rushing to the airport and running to the plane. It was already on the runway at 3 a.m.� Jani was a big man long

before all that. He looks trim enough at 320 but economy airline seats are a tight fit. He once survived 17 hours in coach, from Chicago to Abu Dhabi. He says hotel beds in Japan are a little problem. So was a dental chair. “I lost a filling. My interpreter helped find a dentist. The office reminded me of a big doll house. I knew I was in trouble when I sat down and my hands felt the floor. “I was sedated. When I awoke, at least 10 people were looking in my mouth. Obviously I could not understand a word they were saying. My interpreter interpreted. “‘Look at the size of those molars.’� Next week: The rest of the story, background, time as Vol, bumping into Rhonda Brimer. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Brantley wants relief for towing customers By Sandra Clark Knox County at-large commissioner Ed Brantley apparently believes that when a citizen comes to public forum, asking for help on an issue, that someone ought to pay attention. This is an odd notion that surely will be squelched. For now Brantley’s trampled on a sacred sheriff’s office prerogative. Stand by to learn the outcome. It started when Paul Johnson appeared at an earlier commission meeting to complain that he got a towing/storage bill for more than $500 after a Thanksgiving weekend wreck rendered his car undrivable. “I tried to call my insurance agency, but they were closed for the holiday. So the county (deputy) called a wrecker. For a 15-mile tow, the bill was over $500

when I went to get the car on Monday. I had to forfeit my title to the car, the bill was so high. I asked for an itemized bill and the person at the window said no. I finally took a picture of the bill with my phone. “It was $350 for towing, a $50 gate fee and $50 for cleanup at the site.� Brantley said the deputies should hand the victims a list of wrecker services and their charges. “The consumer should know what they’re up against when this happens because they’re not in any position to make a good decision.� He called for discussion. Commissioner Mike Brown jumped in. “Is there such a list? Who sets the list? Who sets the cost?� He called for someone from the sheriff’s office to respond. No one stepped forward.

Brantley said he had spoken with Deputy Chief Lee Tramel who said there’s no procedure in place. Ed Brantley Commissioner Brad Anders, also a city police officer, said the city has a contract wrecker service for each zone with set rates. “We would have to create a committee to inspect wreckers and it would require cooperation from the sheriff’s office.� Commissioner Charles Busler said his insurance has a towing rider and he also has AAA. Anders said AAA doesn’t tow wrecks. “They’ll call a towing service, but you’ll get the full bill.�

“I’m not asking for more regulations,� said Brantley. “The simplest thing would be a written list. ...� Commissioner Bob Thomas thanked Johnson for coming back to the February meeting. “The No. 1 thing that everyone up here wants is for every citizen to be treated fairly. We should come up with what it would cost (to oversee wreckers and towing). “It should be fair for citizens and fair for wrecker companies. Citizens should be able to get an itemized bill. We need to step into the 20th Century.� Commission chair Dave Wright asked Brantley to contact the sheriff’s office and set up a discussion for the commission’s next workshop meeting, which should be Monday, March 14.

POWELL/NORWOOD Shopper news • MARCH 2, 2016 • A-5

The human face of outsourcing Tom Anderson has worked for the University of Tennessee 15 years come August. He’s in Facilities Services (formerly Physical Plant) and is a buyer in the supply warehouse. A past president of United Campus W o r k ers (affiliated with the ComTom Anderson munication Workers of America), he and his wife have two children, ages 22 and 23, who want to continue their education. They live in the Whittle Springs area. Both he and his wife have preexisting health conditions, and it took him years to top $30,000 annually at UT. “There’s a public image of cushy state jobs with great benefits where you don’t really work that hard, but that’s far from reality,” Anderson said. “One of the tradeoffs for the ‘good benefits’ is a lower salary scale.

Betty Bean Folks who are custodians or in zone maintenance, they make $9.50 an hour – UT’s minimum wage. Almost everybody I know has a side job on weekends. They’re living hand to mouth, and I’m not far from that. We live paycheck to paycheck.” Nevertheless, he said that he and his colleagues take pride in their work and always find a way to do what needs to be done, regardless of Nashville-mandated funding cuts and belt tightening. He’s proud that Facilities Services logged a 94 percent approval rating for work orders completed in 2015. A memo prepared by the department says its employees have more than 5,000 years of accumulated service. “There’s an old saying that applies: ‘Never mind the mule, just load down the cart.’ ” Anderson said.

“And with state employees, that’s what you get. We understand what it takes to maintain campus as a safe and effective learning environment and we do whatever it takes to support the university.” He said life has been hard for campus workers since they found out about Gov. Bill Haslam’s plan to outsource their jobs last August (nobody’s buying Haslam’s claims that he hasn’t yet made up his mind about going forward). Despite a series of embarrassments – the failure to attract a single private sector bidder to run the state’s parks, the scandalplagued handover of state buildings to a Chicago management firm (in which, it was later revealed, Haslam had invested) and the poor outcomes logged by the firm contracted to provide online elementary school education, Haslam appears set on outsourcing as many public jobs as he can hand over to private enterprise. Although he knows the

campus workers have strong support from their administration and the public, Anderson can’t help but worry. “If this happens, I’ll almost certainly lose my job, my income and my benefits. The ability to send my kids to college would become very difficult. My ability to get insurance will pretty much disappear, and so will my ability to spend money in the community. And we’re talking about 800 people. That’s a lot of money to take out of the local economy.” If past is prologue, even those who keep their jobs will make less money and see their benefits reduced. “It’s emotionally draining,” Anderson said. “My co-workers really are family – and not only will that go away, but its going to affect their ability to survive. There’s a very clear human cost that the governor and his Office of Customer Focused Government are not talking about – and they don’t want to talk about. They much rather keep it as numbers. “Never mind us mules.”

Timing of Armstrong trial is dilemma What happens to state Rep. Joe Armstrong as he seeks a 15th term in the Legislature this August and November? It is an awkward issue for many who like Armstrong. He is under federal indictment for income tax evasion and it goes to trial on Aug. 2, just two days before the state primary. Of course it could be postponed again or settled. But if not, to be in court on election day is not a good situation for a public official running for office. One wonders if the judge hearing the case will want it to be heard while voters are deciding Armstrong’s future. If he is acquitted, then his problems are resolved. He has well-known Knoxville criminal defense attorney Greg Isaacs working his case. However, if he were convicted, he can still legally continue running for office in November but it would be embarrassing for local and state Democrats. Of course, he could also resign the nomination and allow local Democrats to replace him. However, if elected, it is unlikely the House would seat him as a convicted felon. Under Tennessee’s Constitution the House or Senate determines the eligibility of its own members. If Armstrong were not seated then that would trigger a special election in his district in 2017 at considerable public expense. County Commission would also name an interim representative for 100 days until

Victor Ashe

the election was held. However, there is precedent for a lawmaker serving in the state House and drawing a paycheck while in federal prison. That was the late Tommy Burnett who represented Fentress County. He was re-elected while in prison. The Democratic Party faces the dilemma of sticking with Armstrong despite the indictment or securing an alternative candidate to oppose him. Right now the Democrats seem to be backing Armstrong or at least not opposing him. The district itself is less than 50 percent African American and includes Holston Hills, the UT campus and much of South Knoxville as well as all of East Knoxville. It is a Democratic district but an indictment and certainly a conviction could change voting patterns if the Republicans run a serious moderate candidate. New state GOP chair Ryan Haynes has a challenge as the deadline for filing is April 7 (a little over one month from now). It falls to him and the House GOP caucus to seek a candidate in case Armstrong falters. Armstrong is personally liked by members of both parties. The vast majority, including this writer, hope

he is innocent. That is one reason there has not been a rush by political leaders calling for his ouster. On the other hand, should he be found guilty then there are consequences for both parties and the people of his district whom he has ably served for 28 years. ■ Retiring U.S. Rep. Steve Fincher from West Tennessee who has served only three terms in Congress is taking with him a huge campaign war chest of $2.7 million. This can be found at fec.gov for those who wish to check donations to campaign for Congress as well as president. This was as of Dec. 31, 2015. Fincher will be able to give this away to various causes and political activities as long as it lasts. He cannot use it for personal matters. To place this in comparison to other Tennessee House members, Rep. Phil Roe from the upper East Tennessee district has $535,000 in his campaign account. Rep. Jimmy Duncan has $1 million. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann has $931,000, Rep. Scott DesJarlais has $240,000, Rep. Jim Cooper from Nashville has $891,000, Rep. Diane Black has $1.7 million, Rep. Marsha Blackburn has $2.2 million and Rep. Steve Cohen has $745,000. ■ County Commissioner Bob Thomas is contacting lots of folks about a possible 2018 run for county mayor when Tim Burchett is term limited in

He came close to being elected governor in 1970 but came up against a Memphis dentist named Winfield Dunn who prevailed. Dunn and Hooker later became good friends and Dunn described him as a “giant. It is hard not to like and admire the tenacity with which Hooker approached the causes he favored. He had character and conviction. They are worthy attributes. ■ Noted author Erik Larson will speak in Knoxville at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, at the Bijou Theatre.

government I’ve seen the light: Why Trump wins Count me among the skeptics who thought Donald Trump would blow over as a serious candidate. But after watching the debates and the early primaries, I finally get it. Donald J. Trump – casinobuilding, old-lady-evicting, multimarried, bankruptcy-filing wild man with three wives and five kids – is headed for the White House. Trump has caught the wave of outrage that folks across the country are feeling. “Let’s make America great again” resonates. For every Ron Ramsey who got outspent and outpolled by an establishment sort like Bill Haslam, this Trump’s for you. For every evangelical who dutifully voted for Republican nominees only to see nothing change, this Trump’s for you. For the middle class,

Sandra Clark

standing on an economic sand bar watching good jobs and their standard of living wash away, this Trump’s for you. Donald Trump in the White House is scary. Very scary. But even scarier is the massive federal debt we’ve piled up by spending money on social programs and wars we haven’t been willing to tax ourselves to fund. Voters in yesterday’s primary said “Enough. No more. Let’s go.” Donald Trump, allAmerican scoundrel, is headed for the White House.

Library honor State Sen. Randy McNally, who chairs the Senate finance committee and represents a portion of Knox County, has received the Medallion Award for leadership in financial management and support of the state’s libraries. Secretary of State Tre Hargett (left) presented the award to McNally, citing his work to secure state funding to construct the Briceville Public Library in 2011. McNally said libraries, especially in rural areas, give important Internet access for online education programs and job searches.

Meet Jones! This sweet boy may not be a golden retriever but has a heart of gold! This lovable, crazy-haired goofball wants an active, dedicated owner to have fun adventures with running and hiking, or whatever activities that will keep him moving. Obedience training will help him adjust to family life. He will probably excel in something like agility! Jones is only 2-3 years old. He would prefer a home without small children and while he enjoys playing with some other dogs, he would also prefer to be an only dog where he can have the full attention of his owner as he learns what being part of a family means. Are you the person Jones has been waiting for?

Plants of spring is not this plant’s real name. Its real name is bergenia. Another common name for this plant is pigs squeak, so named because when the wet leaves are rubbed together, they squeak. This beautiful little plant was discovered by me when my mother would take my sister and me for walks in the woods. She would let us pick the little pigs and use them in our playhouse. When this plant blooms in the early Bonnie spring, it has a little five-petPeters al white, bell-shaped flower. If you have a woodland yard as I do, it is a nice plant for your flower bed. Bergenias are evergreen Heart Leaf Pigs: perennials that form as Plants and their names low clumps of bold, shiny are always entertaining. green leaves in the garden.

It’s March and I cannot keep from noticing the subtle signs of spring. My star magnolia has bloomed, but sadly after two days the freeze got it. My Lenten rose is now in bloom, but the plant is freeze hardy, so it is fine. The jonquils will be out in a couple of weeks and hopefully will not get frozen.

Elmcroft Assisted Living of Halls hosted a chili cook-off last Friday. The event was filled with pots of freshly made chili, music by Shaun Abbott, corn hole games and many photo opportunities. The event raised money for Halls Elementary School which is located across Andersonville Pike from the center. Over the years Halls students have come to Elmcroft to entertain residents on special occasions. The center wanted to give back to the school and hope to help with events such as field day and other activities. Winners for the best pots of chili included Jan Sheibley (third), Phil Bradford (second) and the grand prize winner was Shelly Leonard. Judges for the night

these glossy green leaves develop shades of polished bronze making them attractive contrasting plants. Bergenias are also frost/ freeze hardy. They are happy in mild sun or partial shade and are often seen in established gardens under forests of tall trees. Mine is under a large Yoshino cherry tree.

Yet another encouraging attribute is that bergenias are classified as water-wise plants that require average moisture. It is said they are buck- and rabbit-resistant so are ideal for farm house or country gardens. Hearts A-Bustin’ with Love: In mid-summer, this little shrub will form marble-size red ber-

ries. In late summer the berries will burst and form the shape of a heart. I have grown one or two into small trees – about seven feet tall and perhaps an inch trunk diameter. Snow Drops: Lest we get too carried away with the thought that spring is here, snow drops are in full bloom.

I never had a chance to sing it when I moved up to high school, but I remember it fondly, both the lyrics and the tune. “No man is an island, no man stands alone. Each man’s joy is joy to me, Each man’s grief is my own. We need one another, so I will defend Each man as my brother Each man as my friend.� – Based on a poem by John Donne

But what really made us proud was the fact that as both a high school and college student he was willing to share his knowledge by coming back to teach elementary school kids!� Coffer says, “I just want to show the youth that the possibilities in music are endless regardless if it’s their main career or not.� There will also be solo piano and vocal pieces, and the audience is invited to come early in order to visit with the pianist. “Brandon is very articulate,� says Overall, “and he will lead a Q&A session in addition to the performance.

However, so many young people have parents that enroll them in music lessons and sometimes those kids never get to see the result of what could and would happen if they stuck with it.

FAITH NOTES

St. John’s to present a generous young pianist Saint John’s Episcopal Cathedral is well-known in town as a musical destination., with its Cathedral Arts Series regularly presenting high-quality programs featuring choirs and soloists of all types performing Christian and secular music. The church’s director of music, Jason Overall, is excited to be involved a new venture. He’s presenting young pianist Brandon Coffer in concert with other area musicians, including Knoxville Symphony Orchestra players, in a recital meant to encourage excitement about classical music in the next generation. “The thrust of this recital is bringing the piano to a younger audience,� says Overall.

Young Life has come to Union County, and it’s an answer to prayer. Tim Teague of Young Life Knoxville, an international student ministry, spoke to a group of Young Life supporters at the Total Victory Worship Center in Maynardville Feb. 22. He said Union County High School has been in his prayers for a long time. He and a group of friends visit a Norris Lake retreat frequently, and for seven years whenever they passed UCHS, they stopped and prayed in the parking lot for an opportunity to bring Young Life to Union County. You see, Young Life doesn’t start a ministry at a high school until they are asked by the community, until local folks step forward to drive the effort. “We want to be invited in so it’s your ministry, so it’s Union County’s ministry,� Teague said. Then, UT Young Life student Emma Fugate inquired about starting Young Life at UCHS. Emma’s father, John Fugate, teaches there. The Fugates host the Gibbs High School Young Life, and Emma is a Young Life leader at Powell High School. Teague met with John and two other UCHS teachers after school, and Union Countians Amy Reno and Kayla Newcomb stepped forward to help. After a series of meetings over the summer, four people stepped forward to be Young Life leaders in Union County. These young adults will hold weekly meetings with songs, games, fun and,

PHS Science Bowl team competes at regionals By Ruth White For the first time in four years, Powell High School sent a team to the regional Science Bowl competition. The school hasn’t had a team formed in several years and teacher Tyler Thompson got a group together to represent the school this year. The round-robin style of competition featured close to 60 teams answering questions related to biology, chemistry, physical science and math. The Powell team spent many hours practicing for the event. Although a competition can often be intimidating, the team members believe that it’s a great way to represent the school. “It puts us in a pressure situation but we know that we can rely on our teammates

PHS Science Bowl team members pictured are sponsor Tyler Thompson, Sam Patel, Caleb Branam, Minh Nguyen and Russ Edens. Not pictured is sponsor Beteh Mooney. Photo by R. White for support,� said member Sam Patel. This year’s group consists of four seniors with plans to major in microbi-

ology, pre-med, veterinary medicine and bio systems engineering next year when they head to college. Thompson plans to recruit

new members for the following year and hopes that the interest and success in the Science Bowl continues Pleasant Ridge Elementary art teacher Tracy Riggs was recently to grow. named the school’s Teacher of the Year. Photo by R. White

Random Acts of Kindness By Ruth White Joy Kay’s kindergarten class at Powell Elementary have been working on the number 100 – grouping, counting and sorting – and she decided to have another project that involved the number. She challenged her students to do 100 random acts of kindness in a twoweek period – a task they not only completed but

exceeded by three! Kay wrote the acts on heart shaped paper and posted them outside of her classroom. Tasks ranged from helping a friend clean up a mess to sharing a toy to cleaning the dishes at home. Whether an act of kindness was big or small, Kay was thrilled with the love and sharing going on in her classroom and at children’s homes.

To Pleasant Ridge Elementary art teacher Tracy Riggs, art is magic and she brings the magic to the classroom every time students come to her room. She studied at UT Chattanooga after a high school teacher (whom she calls full of life and hysterical) provided her with encouragement to pursue art as a career. Riggs never felt that she was an amazing art student and felt that art was a challenge but that it helped her identify with students who may not be quite the budding artist. She is able to bring out the good artistic qualities in her students and provide a world of encouragement to them. Art is an important part of the school curriculum and she works to pull in every aspect with her art projects, including math, science and even history. She is fortunate to work at a school where the principal and staff support her work and don’t view art class as free time for the students. She feels lucky to teach art, showing students the importance of visual/creative thinking and helping to grow independent thinkers. When Riggs was an-

Ruth White

nounced as the school’s teacher of the year, she was thrilled because she knows how tirelessly the art teachers in Knox County Schools work to foster well-rounded education for the students. Pleasant Ridge is a special place for Riggs and she loves the smaller environment. “The teachers are unbelievably supportive, they care about the student’s performances and share ideas with one another,� Riggs says. She wants the kids to enjoy learning every day and works hard to help them achieve that goal. Riggs is an extremely creative and very energetic individual. When she isn’t teaching students, she might be found studying to be a yoga instructor, snowboarding or hanging out with her three dogs. She also enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband.

to the first place awards, coaches Mallory Moss and Jordan Tolson received a level 1 specialty award for the Best Innovative Choreography for the Tornadoes. Coach Jordan Tolson also received a level 2 specialty award for Best Stunts for the Typhoons. All 3 teams brought home 2016 Cheersport Grand Champion (first place) banners. The Tornadoes youth team was awarded the “Best of Level 1� banner for the best performance on a level 1 team. During the event the Tornadoes were awarded a bid to compete at the D2 Summit

in Tampa, Florida, April 30 and May 1. The Tornadoes are the first team to get a Summit bid at Knoxville Twisters gym. For the athletes, competitive cheer teaches more than tumbling, stunting, dancing and cheering, but how to be a team player by helping to build selfesteem and confidence. It’s an incredible exercise that also helps increase flexibility, balance and endurance, building performance skills while the team has fun and creates lasting friendships. Coaches for the Twisters teams include Delaney Burton and Brittany Foust (Wa-

terspouts), Mallory Moss, Jordan Tolson and Delaney Burton (Tornadoes) and Jordan Tolson and Mallory Moss (Typhoons and Vortex). Knoxville Twisters gym is located at 6930 Gemini Way behind the Halls Kmart.

A concert of ‘lasts’ By Carol Z. Shane Though he’s presenting his final recital as a UT faculty member this coming Sunday, Dr. David Northington, the school of music’s Powell Distinguished Professor of Piano, is already excited about his next project. Northington is founder and artistic director of the East/West International Piano Festival at Shandong University in Weihai, China. And this summer he’ll be headed there to facilitate its inaugural season. “We have American and Chinese students,” he says. “There will be lessons, master classes and excursions. I hope we will eventually expand it and have students from everywhere.” World-renowned as a concert pianist and educator, Northington will be retiring in July after 39 years at UT. He’s chosen for his final faculty recital a “concert of ‘lasts,’” he says. “It’s not a long program. I’m playing Beethoven’s last works – the opus 126 ‘Bagatelles’ – and Schubert’s ‘Piano Sonata in B flat,’ finished a few months before he died.” Northington says the “Bagatelles” – or “trifles” – are “mini-encapsulations

of Beethoven’s style. In six small pieces, everything is there – the lyricism, the dynamic contrasts, the classicism, the beginnings of romanticism.” All were written in 1823, four years before the great composer’s death. Speaking of his students, Northington says, “In so many ways, they keep me young.” He admits that he’ll miss that. But, he says, he just can’t keep up the same schedule and the same intensity of performing and teaching. “If I can’t perform and be an inspiration to my students through performing, I shouldn’t teach; I want to be the kind of inspiration to them that I feel a student needs.” He’s got a substantial

‘Mockingbird’

eBird is amazing! eBird is indeed amazing. Maybe not so much for those of you in the computer generation, who learned to count at the age of 1 by playing kiddie computer games, and who are able to fluently communicate your lives minute by minute on the social media. However, it’s a fact that I can remember my grandmother’s crank, 4-party-line telephone from when I was small, and I still tell errant callers on my home phone that they have “dialed” the wrong number. So maybe you can understand why I am in awe of a system that can collect 10 million bird sightings from around the world, over a 4-day period, and have them all neatly stored away, to be accessed and used in every way imaginable. That amazing process would be eBird. Here’s some background about how it came to be. Cornell University is located in Ithaca, New York, in the scenic environs of the Finger Lakes District in upper New York State. Cornell has been the epicenter of academic bird study for a very long time. A home-town example of what they’ve been doing all those years comes

Dr. Bob Collier

from right here in Knoxville. UT professor and Bird Club member, the late Dr. James Tanner, was working on his doctoral thesis for Cornell University when he and his wife, Nancy, now deceased also, famously honeymooned in the swamps of Louisiana while Jim was studying the ivory-billed woodpeckers there over the years of 1937-1939. That published thesis has become a classic, a detailed study of those now-extinct birds. In their later years, Jim and Nancy Tanner were thought to be the last two living humans to have seen an ivory-billed woodpecker. These days, the big bird doings at Ithaca happen at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, set high on a wooded hill above the town. Spouse and I included it on the itinerary of one of our spring, Northeast birding trips, and had a really fine

visit there. The lab consists of a big main building nestled in the woods, with huge two-story windows looking out over a beautiful treelined lake. The lake has an active great blue heron nest, and there are bird feeders everywhere, with birding scopes set up to watch them with. Off the main lobby, you can access the famous Macaulay Library of bird songs and calls, the largest collection of bird songs in the world. A person can sit in there and listen to most any bird in the world, one by one, to their heart’s desire. And behind the scenes, there are lots of labs and cubicles filled with bright young computer-savvy ornithology-type people doing amazing things with birds, computers and data. The Cornell folks call all of us amateurs “citizen scientists,” and happily gather our millions of observations and bird lists into a giant data base of information that they can organize, use and study in ways that no group of researchers or academic institutions could ever achieve. That is where eBird began.

We first heard of it years ago from one of the young people at the Cornell Lab who helped dream it up, and who is now the eBird project leader. His name is Chris Wood. He has been our guide on several birding trips we have enjoyed around the country, and he has patiently tried to help me understand the vision they had: a worldwide system that would consist of a great depository of bird information, fed by the tens of thousands of birders everywhere, sending in the lists of everything they were seeing throughout each year. Launched in 2002, the vision has come to pass – with remarkable success! So what sort of information do they get from all us citizen scientists? They learn where the many species of birds are, in real time, where they spend the winter, where they are to be found while nesting and rearing young, when and where they are when on the move during migration. Now with all the data they have collected, they have produced animated maps for individual species of migrating birds, with subtitle dates like the TV weather maps, showing the tsunami-like waves of birds ebbing and flowing to

and from North and South America season by season. Those maps give a visual face to the hard-to-imagine concepts of millions of birds passing to and fro over our heads year after year. The folks at eBird have come up with a lot of other fun and interesting things. Probably the biggest is the system whereby individuals can sign up for membership, and then can at any time send in a list of birds you’ve seen, on a walk around the yard, a trip to the beach, wherever. Your sightings go into the huge data base, but they are also stored specifically for you, so you can check on your own list of birds and sighting records any time you wish. Yet another program, called ebird-alert, lets you subscribe free to receive daily emails from any state you wish, reporting the locations of especially-interesting or rare birds, complete with detailed Google maps of their locations, so you can hop in the car and go find them. It even tells you the locations of the nearest good places to eat! And then there’s the program called Merlin, a free app for your mobile device that helps you identify the most common 400 birds in the US, especially helpful

for beginning and intermediate birders. For many years now we have counted the birds at our feeders at intervals from November to March, and sent those counts in (initially on long paper forms at the end of each season, but now via a spiffy datareporting site that even I can navigate) to Operation Feederwatch, another datagathering program from Cornell – great fun during an otherwise bird-sparse period of time. And, we just finished the Great Backyard Bird Count on Feb. 12-15. People from all over the world counted birds anywhere they wanted, over the four-day time span, and sent in their results to eBird. Incredible – they have so far received 157,272 checklists, listing a total of 5,545 species of birds (over half of all known species on earth!) for a total of 18,117,713 individual birds seen. Not bad for a bunch of amateurs! Err, I mean, citizen scientists. It appears to me that this computer thing may actually prove to have some useful applications after all – especially if it helps us know more about the birds. You might want to click on the eBird site, maybe even sign up for something, and try it out!

News from the Rotary Guy

Breakfast Rotary, Blue Grass build partnership By Tom King Every school day at Blue Grass Elementar y School the 620 students recite the core beliefs of Rotary International – known Tom King simply as “The Four Way Test.� These are the same four principles that Rotarians around the world say at every Rotary meeting. ■First, Is It the Truth? ■Second, Is It Fair to All Concerned? ■Third, Will It Build Goodwill and Better Friendships? ■Fourth, Will It Be Beneficial to All Concerned? ■Reciting the Four Way

Test is the result of the Knoxville Breakfast Rotary Club’s partnership with the school that began in 2013. “It’s so special when you are in the hallways in the mornings during the school’s 10-minute TV show. You stand there and hear The Four Way Test reverberating through the school,� says Scott Taylor, a club member and Knoxville attorney who was instrumental in pulling this partnership together. “It’s very special.� “The Rotarians have made a great impact at Blue Grass on the students, teachers and on our community. We think of them as part of our family here,� said Blue Grass principal Jaime Cantrill. “They are a regular fixture around here. The Four Way Test is about char-

Pictured are (front) Ashlynn Murrel, kindergarten; (second row) Izzy Galehouse, 4th grade, Grant Cross, 2nd grade, Austin Madigan, 1st grade; (back) Molly Dalton, 5th grade, Gianna Hugg, 3rd grade, Breakfast Rotarian Scott Taylor and teachers Lauren Rosenbush and Phyllis White. acter development and it’s an important part of our day.� Taylor said the club had wanted to take on a major project. Helping Blue Grass seemed like a perfect fit. “With the school being so close to where we meet at Gettysvue, approaching Blue Grass seemed a natural thing to do,� Taylor said. The club meets each Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. at Gettysvue Country Club. Blue Grass is just down the road on Westland Drive. This partnership began in August 2013 with a cleanup/beautification day

on the school grounds. Each August now club members join parents and staff for the workday. This includes mulching, pressure washing sidewalks and steps and building exteriors, installing new swing sets and new storage sheds, working on the shrubbery and landscaping, replacing the seats in the outdoor theater, and new picnic tables. “These Rotary guys sometimes work until dark on those cleanup days,� Cantrill said. This coming August will make the fourth straight year for the workday.

Breakfast Rotary also has a hand in the morning TV show. The club raised $8,000 in 2015 to replace outdated equipment, purchasing two video cameras, a teleprompter, a tripod, an electronic media processing control box, an iPad and MacBook Pro for a major upgrade to the school’s broadcast department. For the past three years the club has sponsored monthly student and staff Rotary Good Citizen Awards. Six students – one from each grade level – and two teachers or staff members

are honored. Aubrey’s Restaurants donates gift cards. Club members are there each month for the presentations. Taylor estimates the club has invested about $20,000 in the last three years and this partnership continues. “This has been a great partnership and it is our signature project,� Taylor said. “For a small club (about 22 members) we’ve done quite a bit and we truly enjoy it and love the school.� This partnership is leading to another Rotary partnership as well. In the fall of 2016 the Breakfast Rotary Club will sponsor a new Interact Club at West Valley Middle School. “This is a natural progression for the Blue Grass students who go on to West Valley,� Taylor explained. “When they leave Blue Grass, they know all about Rotary.� Tom King is a retired newspaper editor, a Rotarian for 28 years and past president of the Rotary Club of Farragut. He can be reached p at tking535@gmail.com

Projects included: New paint for two interior rooms and the outdoor pavilion, landscaping cleanup and new mulch, and planting azaleas. George Wehrmaker of Bearden Rotary chaired the day’s event. David Walker of Bright Side professional landscaping management brought heavy equipment to assist in the planting and landscaping. Jim Holleman of the Knoxville Volunteer Rotary and Doug Lesher were putting final touches on the pavilion. Wehrmaker said volunteers pressure-washed it the previous week.
