Girl Scout cookies have arrived, and Powell girls are out in force delivering cookies and hosting storefront cookie booths through March 24. Thin Mints, Samoas and six other flavors are back at a cost of $3.50 a box. “When you buy cookies, please look us in the eye and don’t just tell us we’re cute,” says Girl Scout Sarah Osucha. “After all, we’re running a serious business. We want to learn people skills and tell you how you are helping our troop.” All profits stay within the Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians to benefit local girls.

Tennova to expand heart care

Tennova Healthcare has received approval to build a diagnostic heart catheterization program at its north campus off Emory Road near I-75. The Certificate of Need received unanimous approval by the Tennessee Health Services Development Agency in Nashville. “This is an exciting announcement for North Knox and surrounding counties,” said Rob Followell, CEO of North Knoxville Medical Center. Heart catheterization has become a standard of care for patients suffering from heart blockages. The procedure is done to get information about the heart and its vessels. It may also be done to treat certain types of heart conditions, or to find out if a patient needs heart surgery. Cardiac catheterizations in the new lab will be performed by members of East Tennessee Heart Consultants. Construction is anticipated to be completed by this summer. The new cardiac catheterization lab will be located on the second f loor of the hospital, across from surgery.

Noweta marks 54th year By Cindy Taylor The March meeting of the Noweta Garden Club hailed its 54th year and mixed important business with just a bit of whimsy. The Orangery provided the venue, and club members enjoyed a delicious lunch during roundtable discussions of the

past year and upcoming events, along with talk about plants and flowers, of course. Outgoing president Marjorie Gardner expressed her gratitude to members who had made a difference in 2012. June Jennings, Regena Richardson, Wilma Shular and Carole Whited received

recognition and a special gift for attending every meeting in 2012. Gardner also had perfect attendance. Richardson was chosen by the members as the year’s outstanding member. Gardner presented a special gift to each member for her work with the club. Founding member

JoAnne Hoffmeister attended and was recognized with gratitude. Richardson will hold the position of chaplain for the coming year and Gardner will take over as parliamentarian. The Noweta Garden Club is devoted to promoting beauty in Powell and surrounding areas. Ex-

HHS drama to present ‘Puss in Boots’ Nita Buell Black reports that Halls High drama students under the direction of Kim Hurst will present “Puss in Boots” April 11 and April 13 at the Powell Playhouse. “This play promises to be one of the highlights of the presentations of the Playhouse,” Black says. “You will want to bring your children and grandchildren and see the play yourself!” The play is adapted by renowned playwright Max Bush. “The plot deals with the question of “can a poor miller’s son with nothing on his mind except his next meal win a fortune, a title and the hand of a beautiful princess? “With the help of a bold, enterprising cat, a pair of boots and a clever, imaginative playwright, the answer is yes! Funny and fast-paced, this ‘Puss in Boots’ remains faithful to the qualities that have made the fable popular over many genera-

tions - an inventive wit and a sense of the magical possibilities of the relationships between humans and beasts.” A buffet dinner (menu to be published later) will be offered at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 11, with the play to follow at 7:30. Advance tickets must be purchased by April 8 for the dinner and play. Cost is $25 per person; send a check payable to Powell Playhouse, P.O. Box 205, Powell, TN 37849. Call Mona at 947-7428 for reservations. Tickets for the play only are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Tickets for the 3 p.m. matinee Saturday, April 13, and the 7:30 p.m. performance will be sold at the door. Groups may reserve seating through Mona at 947-7428. No advance tickets will be sold for the Saturday performances. The matinee is $5 for both seniors and children under 12; adult tickets are $10.

government The closing of Fort Kid Fort Kid looks destined to close but the actual date is uncertain. Twenty-two years ago from April 3-7, 1991, the Fort was constructed with over 12,000 pennies collected from Knox County children and manual labor contributed by hundreds of citizens continuously over a 5-day period. Those children are now in their late twenties or early thirties. Led by West Knoxville civic activist Beth Waters, it was a Herculean effort to celebrate the city’s Bicentennial with a lasting legacy. And it has lasted almost 22 years. However, city spokesperson Jesse Mayshark says that “The playground at Fort Kid is being phased out, with the aim of turning that property into public green space. As pieces of equipment become unsafe, they are being removed and decommissioned.” Money has not yet been made available to do this.” The co-ordinating committee which led the effort was composed of Waters plus Bruce Bosse, Wes Stowers, Karen Robinson, Randy Massey and Nancy Prosser. Helping in the campaign was the finance chair, Bill Haslam, then a young Knoxville businessman, along with Larry Martin, who then led First Tennessee Bank which collected all the pennies. Fort Kid is located across from the Knoxville Museum of Art near the Victorian Houses at the World’s Fair Park. When I dropped by to visit, most of the playground equipment was still there. While it was showing age, there was no notice that the equipment is unsafe or that it was not open for people to use. The plaque identifying the various groups who gave to its creation is still there. The Public Building Authority does the dayto-day maintenance, but it is owned by the city. Apparently there has not been a meeting with the public to determine how to

Victor Ashe

handle Fort Kid. Since it was created by private efforts and labor, it seems logical to consult with those who placed it there 22 years ago and determine the best way forward. Beth Waters handles a maintenance fund for Fort Kid, created in 1991, which has grown considerably over the past two decades, which could be used for the Fort. ■ State Rep. Ryan Haynes is hosting a fundraiser for state Sen. Jim Tracy who is running against embattled incumbent Republican Scott DesJarlais in the 4th congressional district. The event will be at the home of Wes Stowers on Inlet Drive in West Knox County on March 28. ■ Allen Borden, former Director of Economic Development for Knoxville in the first part of the Ashe Administration is now assistant commissioner of Economic and Community Development for the Haslam Administration in Nashville. ■ Brooks Brothers Store at West Town Mall will close after its last day on March 25 as its space is being leased to another tenant. There are no plans to open another Brooks Brothers store in Knoxville. ■ TVA will argue Tuesday, March 12, in federal court before Judge Tena Campbell to have the current lawsuit challenging TVA’s dress code dismissed. Hearing is at 4 p.m. at the Howard Baker Federal Building and is open to the public. One would think TVA would have better issues to spend money on than how people dress at its public hearings. Of all the issues facing TVA, this would seem to be among the most insignificant.

NOTES ■ Trustee John Duncan will speak to the Halls Republican Club 7-8 p.m. Monday, March 18, at the club’s new meeting place: the Boys and Girls Club, 1819 Dry Gap Pike. ■ Charme Knight, candidate for District Attorney General, will speak to the Powell Republican Club 7 p.m. Thursday, March 21, at Shoney’s on Emory Road at I-75. ■ Lincoln Day Dinner will be 6 p.m. Friday, April 12, at Rothchild’s, 8807 Kingston Pike.

The best day of his life Sam Hardman is wise, even for his 94 years, and although his body is wearing out, his mind is as sharp as ever and his spirit is indomitable. Nicknamed “Uncle Sam” by his Halls nephew David Sharp, Hardman was honored last week by HonorAir and Woodmen of the World at the Ben Atchley Veterans’ Home where he is mending following hospitalization. HonorAir named its student ambassador program for Hardman, and Woodmen of the World donated $1,200 to fund two student ambassadors. Gene Bayless, Halls guy and retired brigadier general with the Tennessee Army National Guard, stayed for lunch with his old friend. “This is the best day of my life,” said Hardman with a twinkle, “until tomorrow.”

Sandra Clark

Eddie Mannis, Knoxville’s deputy mayor and founder of the local HonorAir, saluted Hardman: “We could not think of anyone more deserving of this honor.” HonorAir takes veterans of World War II and Korea to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials built to honor their sacrifice. Each veteran is accompanied by a guardian. In October 2010, Mannis invited two students to serve as guardians. Since then, 15 students have served. It’s a life-changing experience for the kids.

‘Campfield gives me hope’ Last week’s meeting of the Boyd Cloud Democratic Club was proof that there’s no truth to the rumor that Knox County Democrats hold their meetings in a phone booth. The Democrats got booted out of their usual meeting room at Shoney’s by a bunch of bass fishermen, so they crowded into a small back dining hall and just kept coming. Late arrivals pulled up chairs outside

Betty Bean the folding room divider, and by the time Tennessee Democratic party chair Roy Herron got started with his speech, it was standing room only all the way back to the salad bar. Some 70 Democrats, in-

As “Uncle Sam” said last week: “Freedom is not free. Every generation has to do its part.” He said he was inspired by recent Halls High School graduate Tucker Hunley. “I sent him $50 when he graduated from high school because he was also an Eagle Scout, and he sent the check back with a note saying to donate it to HonorAir. I forwarded it right on to Eddie,” Hardman said. That donation helped launch the student ambassadorship program. Hardman went to Washington on HonorAir’s second trip. He said, “Eddie and I just hit it off.” Since then he’s become a champion for the program. He said he entered the Army “as a buck and came out as a technical sergeant.” His office experience kept him behind the lines, and he

has lived in Halls since returning home. There’s no better tribute to Sam’s optimism and vision than to send a kid to Washington with an aging veteran. Info: 859-9279 or HonorAir, c/o Prestige Cleaners, 7536 Taggart Lane, Knoxville 37938.

cluding elected officials, former candidates and high rollers like former state party chair Doug Horne and LaFollette lawyer David Dunaway turned out early on a cold Saturday morning to hear Herron lay down some smack talk. And Herron – lawyer, preacher and former state senator from Ned McWherter’s hometown of Dresden – called on all of those vocations when he delivered a “Why I am a Democrat” message that left the faithful pumped up and hopeful. The speech is pretty much a distillation of the guest column that’s run in the state’s largest daily newspapers in recent weeks, with the addition of an applause line

that came when he ment ione d a name that he hopes will inspire Democrat s to write checks and knock on Herron doors: “Stacey Campfield gives me hope every day.” He didn’t seem to be more than halfway kidding when he said he bases that hope on Campfield’s reputation as a tireless campaigner. That’s a game that Democrats can play, he said. “If the good folks of Knox County will elect him because he works hard, Democrats can be elected.”

Educators can’t ignore politics By Betty Bean The four scholars on the Graduate School of Education panel on charter schools and vouchers that met in the Relix Theatre last week really tried to stay out of the political realm, but current events like the bill flying through the General Assembly creating a nine-member board appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam and Speakers Ron Ramsey and Beth Harwell to be the final decider of appeals of charter school denials were impossible to ignore. (Repeat – a board appointed by Nashville politicians is going to have the authority to override the decisions of local school boards – no appeals and no new money.) The panel – Dr. Cara Moore, Dr. Scott Ellison, Dr. Autumn Tooms Cypres and Dr. Richard Allington – all made thought-provoking points. But Allington was especially pointed in his criticism of political interference in education and his suggestions for less political and

e h T e Se ne,

less costly solutions to societal problems. A llington (who has been Fien Dist ing uished Professor of Allington Educ at ion at the University of Florida; chair of the Department of Reading at the University at Albany, SUNY; past president of three national organizations; principal investigator on research projects funded by three federal agencies; and author of more than 150 articles and several books) called the notion that American schools are falling behind competitors in other places “the big myth that’s been perpetuated by corporate egos.” Allington said American schools take all students, including those with disabilities and those who will move into vocational fields, unlike schools in many other coun-

tries with which they are compared. “American schools have made more progress with fourth grade reading than any other nation in the world – moved up a half dozen spots. The comparisons are just not accurate – we attempt to educate everyone.” He acknowledged the gap between rich and poor as the most reliable predictor of academic success, and said that gap is growing despite vast sums of money having been spent on efforts to close it. He predicted that Race to the Top is unlikely to be any more successful. “We’ve had more federal interference in education than at any time in history.” He drew applause when he wondered why Tennessee teachers using mandated programs and not getting good evaluations aren’t suing. Then he cited the biggest problem schools face and suggested a strategy that is simple, relatively inexpensive and proven.

“High poverty schools generally have as much reading and math growth during the school year as other schools… but what happens is summer reading and math loss,” he said. “Poor kids lose two or three months reading growth while middle-class kids gain about a month in the summer – some more than that. Poor kids don’t read in the summer because they don’t own any books. Parents don’t have any money to buy books and available libraries are less likely to be child friendly.” The solution, he said, is giving elementary school students 12-15 free books at the end of the school year. The most troubling part of this research, he said, was facing the little kids in the control group who didn’t get books and wanted to know why. “I had to tell them it was George Bush’s fault,” he said. (Note: This was a joke.) Three years of distributing summer books largely eliminated the summer reading gap for a fraction of the cost of establishing a charter school.

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • MARCH 11, 2013 • A-5

An architect’s architect HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin Labor Day, 1940. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had just begun his campaign for a third term. The President and his entourage were proceeding down Henley Street en route to Newfound Gap to dedicate the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As they passed the Church Street United Methodist Church, the president remarked, “That is the most beautiful church I have ever seen.” Built in 1930, the church was designed by Charles I. Barber (1887-1962) in cooperation with John Russell Pope of New York in Gothic Revival style to emulate the early Gothic style of Durham Cathedral. Barber’s genius for design was stimulated early when he spent many hours visiting his father’s Gay Street firm, probably the largest in the state at the time. In 1900, George F. Barber (1854-1915) employed 30 drafters and 20 secretaries as he sold about 1,000 mail-order house plans a month, an estimated 20,000 between 1888 and 1913. Almost 50 George Barber homes are listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in several states from New York to Washington. Charles Irving Barber was born on Oct. 25, 1887, in DeKalb, Ill. and his family moved to Knoxville the following year. Charles’ early education was completed at the Baker-Himel Preparatory School (1889-1913) on Highland Avenue near the University of Tennessee. Along with the sons of many of Knoxville’s most prominent families, he studied classic Latin and Greek as well as English and math. The school had such a stellar reputation that

students were admitted to UT, the University of Virginia, Harvard and Yale without further examination. He attended UT briefly but then spent three months in Europe in 1907, mainly in Italy. The voyage had a dual purpose, to expand his artistic senses and to send back drawings of significant architecture there. Charles visited the great museums, stayed in elegant hotels, dined at exclusive restaurants and explored Italian villas and formal gardens. He came home with an appreciation for classic architecture that is reflected in some of Knoxville’s most beautiful churches, public buildings, schools and homes. In 1909, Barber enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania and studied under the French-born architect Paul Cret, whose Beaux-Arts style would markedly influence Barber’s early work. In two years Barber received his Certificate of Proficiency in Architecture and returned to Knoxville to begin his first major work, the

Southern States Building for the 1913 National Conservation Exposition. During a brief partnership with Dean Parmelee, the son of his father’s one-time partner, Martin Parmelee, the First Christian Church (1914) was completed. Almost a century later, its presence just north of I-40’s downtown route gives it high visibility and tourists often comment on its classical beauty. It would be the first of some 50 churches Barber would design, including Knoxville’s Second Presbyterian, St. Luke’s Methodist, St. James Episcopal, Graystone Presbyterian, Church of the Ascension, Fountain City United Methodist, Gloria Dei Lutheran and Northside Christian churches. Benjamin McMurry and Charles Barber founded Barber and McMurry in 1915, a partnership that would last until McMurry’s passing in 1969. Barber concentrated on the artistic phases of the business and McMurry on the business itself. Charles’ cousin West Barber later joined the firm and became mainly responsible for interior design and working drawings. Much of the firm’s early work centered on houses built for affluent Knoxvillians on Kingston Pike and nearby. The homes of J. Allen Smith (1915), William Cary Ross (1921) and Alexander Bonnyman (1916) were among the first. One unique project was the totally redesigned 125room Whittle Springs Hotel and Resort (1917-18), built at a cost of $650,000. During the 1920s and 1930s, Barber and McMurry designed many additional homes, including those for Glen Craig (1926), Weston M.

Fulton (Westcliff, 1928) and H.M. Goforth (1928). Barber and McMurry homes showcased French and Italianate features, often with the indoors and the outdoors married by French doors opening onto terraces fronting formal gardens and pools. Unlike his father, who was decidedly flexible in his designs, Charles Barber was more likely to charm his clients into accepting his plans than he was to alter them. The firm also designed many of Knoxville’s most notable public buildings, including the showroom for the Candoro Marble Works (1923), the YMCA (1927), the Holston Hills Country Club (1927) and their lone high-rise, the 15-story General Building (1926) on Market Street, where they occupied an office for many years. Several buildings on UT’s “Hill” also show their distinctive style: Hoskins Library, Hesler Hall and Dabney Hall. With the advent of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1930s, Barber, sometimes working with other architects, performed some of his most innovative designs. Working with Roland Wank and Louis Grandgent, TVA’s Norris Housing Project was designed and built. He also designed the headquarters for the Great Smoky Moun-

tains National Park (1940) and several buildings on the Arrowmont Campus in Gatlinburg. Long an advocate for city planning, Barber was a member of the Knox County Planning Commission when it was organized in 1940 and remained a member until the Metropolitan Planning Commission was established in 1956. He was also an advocate for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and was active in the GSM Hiking Club with his brother, George F. Barber, Harvey Broome, Carlos Campbell, Guy Frizzell, Dutch Roth, Jim Thompson and others. Not long after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture, Charles Barber and Marian Lawrence were married. She passed away in 1950 and three years later he married a widow, the former Mrs. Blanche McKinney. From 1926 to 1938, the Lincolnesque, lanky, 6 foot, 4 inch architect could frequently be seen on the spacious lawn of his home on Tazewell Pike in the Beverly community with his trusty double-bladed axe pursuing a favorite hobby, clearing trees and brush. About 1938, the Barbers moved to their new home on Woodson Drive off Alcoa Highway, where they

had built a large stone house with a Barber trademark, i.e. a massive chimney conveying an air of permanence. Charles I. Barber had a severe heart attack in 1959 and suffered another two days before he passed away at UT Hospital on June 14, 1962. His services were held in Church Street United Methodist Church, his home church, which was built to his design many years before. He is interred in the family burial plat at Greenwood Cemetery near his beloved first home on Tazewell Pike. Following Charles Barber’s death, Barber and McMurry was reorganized under the leadership of Benjamin McMurry Jr. and in recent times under Robert Parrott and Charles V. Griffin. The firm continues to design many impressive projects, including the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center (1956), Rokeby Condominiums (1976), East Tennessee History Center (1985), John J. Duncan Federal Building (1988), the Knoxville Smokies Baseball Park (2000) and LeConte Medical Center (2010). It now goes by the name BarberMcMurry.

Does Tennessee football build character? Tennessee football will observe Parents’ Day on Saturday. Mothers, fathers, a few grandmothers and guardians of Volunteers are invited to a barbecue luncheon, a tour of facilities and a scrimmage at Neyland Stadium. The day may shape up much like a recruiting experience: See us. Like us. All join hands. A lot of coaches talk “football family.” I do believe Butch Jones believes it. Butch will undoubtedly provide perspective, telling guests that he is only the very serious caretaker of Tennessee football, responsible for almost everything, but that the game actually belongs to those more heavily invested, the team, old Vols and the thousands of fans who made it what it is. He may mention Tennessee tradition and being proud of the orange. Tra-

Marvin West

dition and pride are valid sales points. He is confident enough to admit that even the smartest coaches must have players to win. Because he is big on building relationships, Butch will praise the parents for producing stalwart young men, nurturing them and entrusting them to the University of Tennessee. He may repeat at least part of a previous speech: “We will be a champion in everything that we do. That’s not only on the field, but off the field. It starts in the classroom. It includes

graduating with a meaningful degree. It’s being a productive citizen, it’s being active in our community. “That’s what winning is about. I really believe that if you win off the field, you will win on the field. We will be a champion in all we do.” Or, perhaps he will recite the values emphasized in the invitation letter he sent parents: loyalty, commitment, family, honesty, accountability, focus and persistence. “These seven core values can guide your son throughout his entire life and enrich and reward his family life. Players, coaches and staff that live life the right way … and put forth great effort cannot be stopped short of success because they are too invested in making sure they cannot fail.” Jones’ mission of developing boys into men leads

me back to the very old question of whether football builds character or reveals it. The great Vince Lombardi once said football is a lot like real life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. Somebody else, maybe Tom Landry, said much of what he knew about morality and obligations came from football. You can certainly link the tough sport to discipline, the demand for extra effort and rewards for excellence. Football requires we be placed ahead of me. Trophies are modest pay for the proverbial blood, sweat and tears. Some stare down challenges and turn them into building blocks. Some might go as far as saying football provides the

opportunity to become a stronger and better person, even a leader. Those with a colder perspective insist football only reveals character. Winners go right on winning. Those with courage give all they have. Pressure ultimately exposes flaws. Losers get tired and too often fold when the outcome hangs in the balance. The late Darrell Royal put it this way: “Football doesn’t build character but it eliminates the weak ones.” Go another step: It occasionally identifies those who cheat to win. Of course football is imperfect. It looks the other way and permits success to grow into arrogance. Tennessee parents will see and hear what they want. They are counting on Tennessee football to help their sons become what they want to be and get where they want to go. Will it happen? What say you? Marvin West invites reader response. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Trust steadily, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. (I Corinthians 13: 12-13 The Message)

A clergy friend of mine is generous enough to share his sermons via e-mail with people who don’t get to hear him preach regularly. He is a fine, thought-provoking preacher, who stirs up questions and occasionally stands clear on the other side of the text and peers back through it until

his listeners can see what he sees: something altogether new. Much like my friend, “The Message” helps us hear (and see) things we may have missed before. I’m quite sure you know the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, frequently called the

Orthodoxy (right belief), generosity to the poor, martyrdom, mountain-moving: Cross Currents none of them means a hill of beans without love, Paul Lynn declares. We are spiritually Hutton and morally bankrupt if we don’t love. And then, hear what “The “Love Chapter.” It is read at Message” does with the next weddings, and occasionally words of Paul. This modern at funerals, but sometimes I rendering of the text dethink it suffers from overuse: scribes love in words we can we cease to hear its mean- understand: ing. We hear the beautiful words, the soaring phrases “Love never gives up. (the apostle Paul was quite Love cares more for a wordsmith!), but we fail to others than for self. appropriate it, to “get it.” Love doesn’t want what Love is a word we throw it doesn’t have. around with ease (e.g., “I Love doesn’t strut, love rutabagas!”), but Paul Doesn’t have a swelled head, ups the ante considerably.

Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always ‘me first,’ Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others. Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the f lowering of truth, Puts up with anything¸ Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.” It is a tall, tall order. But what a world we could have, if only we could “trust steadily, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly!”

News from SOS For four years Vine Middle has received failing grades in math, reading and language arts on the Tennessee Department of Education Report Card. In late January, Superintendent Jim McIntyre met with about 150 parents, teachers, administrative staff, students, community members, and public officials to discuss the school’s future. Attendees’ comments included: A YWCA worker said more than half the children who participate in YWCA programs have one incarcerated parent. School becomes a lower priority. Historically the neighborhood has been treated as a problem. People there are trying to survive. Most parents can’t be home after school gets out. Children need afterschool programs. Police harass people in the neighborhood during the day and leave them unprotected at night. People want to feel safe and relaxed in their neighborhood, but police make them feel threatened. Children are transferred involuntarily to Vine for behavioral problems. A parent said her son was transferred to Vine from Northwest Middle because he had gotten into trouble at school. A teacher said she was overwhelmed because student needs were beyond her ability to help. School reconstitution has been approved.

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships.

Sing to Shatter the Silence By Cindy Taylor A church singing can be a wonderful time for a community to come together for entertainment and spiritual uplifting. On March 15 Clear Springs Baptist Church will host a singing that could beneﬁt children in Union County for years to come. Jeanne Collins, COO/ Victim Advocate for the Union County Children’s Center, facilitates a fundraiser for Child Abuse Awareness month each year. This year she wanted to do something a bit different, and Sing to Shatter the Silence was born. “We wanted to increase awareness about child abuse in the community,” said Collins. “A singing is a good opportunity to get people together and let them know they can make a difference.” Collins said continued decreases in funding mean the center needs to explore every avenue to get word out about the prevalence of child abuse in our communities and children who are caught in that nightmare. “This singing gives peo-

Admission is free but there will be an opportunity to make a donation to the Children’s Center. “This has all been put together by Jeanne and the Children’s Center,” said Clear Springs choir director Mike Tipton. “We’re happy to be a part and help any way we can.” Collins thanked both the

church and the volunteer singers. “Everyone is invited for a great night of gospel music and to make a stand that we are not going to tolerate child abuse,” she said. The event will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, March 15. Clear Springs Baptist Church is located at 8518 Thompson School Road.

Where are antioxidants found? By Dr. Donald G. Wegener We can acquire most of our antioxidants from fruits and vegetables. The most common antioxidants are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A and beta-carotene. Other antioxidants we Dr. Wegener can get from food include coenzyme Q 10, alpha-lipoic acid and bioﬂavonoid antioxidants. Please remember that antioxidants work together to disarm free radicals in different areas of your body. For this reason it is important to have a variety of antioxidants so that they can work together to regenerate each other so they can neutralize more free radicals.

Call to schedule your tour

■ North Knoxville SeventhDay Adventist Church, 6530 Fountain City Road, will host a free, one night only dinner and live vegetarian performing arts cooking show with celebrity chef Mark Anthony at 6 p.m. Monday, March 18, in the fellowship hall.

Antioxidants also need certain co-factors for their enzymatic reactions to occur. These are primarily the B co-factors: Vitamin B-1, B-2, B-6 and B-12, as well as folic acid. You need a healthy amount of the antioxidant minerals and these co-factors, as well as the other vitamins mentioned, to help win the war against free radicals. The bottom line to all this free radical and oxidative stress talk is that you must attempt to balance the free radicals that

your body produces with adequate supplies of antioxidants to neutralize them. I suggest you do this is by eating high-quality fruits and vegetables and supplementing your foods with quality vitamins. In today’s age of fast food restaurants and excessive stress, air pollution, cigarette smoke and poor exercise habits, as well as a more sedentary lifestyle and a depletion of good minerals in the soils, we have an increased likelihood of being subjected to many more free radicals than our ancestors were. For this reason it is extremely important that we optimize our nutrition and supplementation to try to minimize the chronic degenerative diseases that come about from free radicals and oxidative stress. This will give your immune system the ability to ﬁght off many bacteria and viruses that you are exposed to in day-to-day activities. Next time: Osteoporosis

Hometown Heroes Nominations underway

By Sherry Witt

Home Federal Bank is accepting nominations through Friday, March 29, for its third Hometown Heroes program to honor everyday citizens who do extraordinary things for others and for their community. Little League coaches, senior citizen center workers, teachers, Scout leaders, nonprofit volunteers and other individuals who work in their own way to make East Tennessee a great place to live are potential honorees. Home Federal president Dale Keasling said strong nominations come in each year. A total of eight Hometown Heroes will be selected and each, in turn, will choose a local nonprofit for a $2,500 donation in their name. From the eight finalists, a top winner will receive an additional $2,500 for donation to his or her chosen nonprofit. Anyone may nominate a Hometown Hero. Forms are available for download on the Home Federal website at http://www.homefederalbanktn.com or can be picked up at any Home Federal Bank location.

its upward trend. The month saw around $278.5 million loaned against real property in Knox County, compared to $233 million during the same period of 2012.

property transfers in Knox County. Not only is that an improvement over January’s recordings, but it also represents 125 more transfers than the county produced in February of 2012. The aggregate value of land sold during the month was $105.4 million, also a marked improvement over last February when about $89 million worth of property was transferred. Mortgage lending also continued

transfer was for the Golden Corral property at 6612 Clinton Highway, which sold for $1.93 million. It is not certain what the remainder of 2013 will bring for the real estate market; however, January and February have definitely provided encouraging data. There were about 1,000 more total documents recorded by the Register’s office this February than in February of 2012. If trends hold true, March could bring another surge as the warmer weather of spring helps stimulate activity.

In honor of the Tennessee Theatre’s 85th anniversary, the Historic Ten ne s see Theatre Foundation has l a u n c h ed Fansler a sustainability campaign to ensure the maintenance and preservation of the historic building in perpetuity without additional annual fundraising. Located in the heart of downtown Knoxville, the Tennessee Theatre opened in 1928 as a movie palace. The Tennessee Theatre is the Official State Theatre

of Tennessee and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Knoxville community raised more than $25 million to restore the theatre, transforming it from a rundown movie house into a state-of-the-art performing arts center. Today, the Tennessee Theatre is the region’s leading performing arts center with advanced technology, staging and lighting that draws top entertainment. Since the restoration’s completion in 2005, the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation has been tasked with ensuring the theatre remains in pristine condition and a vibrant, world-class entertainment venue. This year, the theatre

Heiskell Community Center

celebrates its 85th anniversary and marks its one millionth visitor to the theatre since the restoration. These one million guests in the Tennessee Theatre have also patronized downtown restaurants and shops before and after the performances. With this significant economic impact, the Tennessee Theatre has led the way for the resurgence of downtown Knoxville. The sustainability campaign has two main goals: to ensure high-quality, stimulating arts and cultural programming remains at the theater, and to maintain the beautiful, historic theater building for generations to come. The sustainability fund

will ensure the theater has sufficient funds for operation of its annual arts enrichment programs and for updates and emergency repairs. Stars on Stage, a recent fundraiser presented by the Foundation, featured comedy legend Bob Newhart, who delivered a stellar performance to a packed house. Proceeds from this year’s Stars on Stage will go toward the sustainability campaign goal of $5 million, nearly $4 million of which was raised before the event. The Tennessee Theatre belongs to all of us. Our support of it will ensure that the performing arts and cultural programming will have a place in the heart of downtown Knoxville for years to come. Pam Fansler is president, East Region, for First Tennessee Bank.
