Hummin’, strummin’ and yummin’

By Anne Hart If the mere thought of good barbecue makes your mouth water, and if the idea of live music by performers with several popular bands gets your toes tapping, this weekend should be total bliss for you.

The “First Annual Rocky Top Hummin’ & Strummin’ BBQ Cookoff” is set to open at 6 p.m. Friday on the 100-acre campus of the Episcopal School of Knoxville and will continue noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Tickets are $10 per day or $15 for two days and may

be purchased at the gate.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of West Knoxville and benefitting its projects at home and globally, the two-day event is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society.

It will feature 50 barbecue cooking teams from across the country vying for $10,000 in prizes and the chance to compete at the annual Jack Daniels BBQ Cookoff, a worldwide competition held in Lynchburg in the fall.

But don’t think this event is just about cook-

ing. That’s the centerpiece, of course, but there will be plenty of opportunity for public participation, including a chance to judge the barbecue, to buy food and drink from on-site vendors, and maybe even to learn secrets from some of those barbecue experts.

Proceeds from this event, which has been chaired by Oliver Smith IV and made possible through the work of dozens of volunteers, will benefit Rotary projects. Info: www. rockytopbbq.com.

New ramp at Callahan

By Sandra Clark The state has approved a contract with APAC to widen the northbound exit ramp off I-75 at Callahan Road where traffic backs up onto the interstate during peak travel.

The citizens group BRINK (Better Roads in North Knox) met April 23 in Nashville with Transportation Commissioner John Schroer and members of the legislative delegation to lobby for local road projects.

Clark Hamilton, president, said the group thanked TDOT for the fast-paced progress on two long-time priorities: Fourlaning of Emory Road from Halls to Clinton Highway and Western Avenue (Hwy. 61) from I-640 to Schaad Road.

“We are also pleased with the rebidding of the new bridge on State Highway 33 at Norris Lake and the quick response on the Callahan Road interchange ramp improvements.”

BRINK offered three priorities and requested the state to begin APR (advanced planning reports) for: Raccoon Valley Road (SR 170) from the Knox and Anderson county line to Norris Freeway. This road is little more than a paved wagon trail, Hamilton said, with cars forced to pull onto private property to change a flat tire.

“The best we can hope for is a widened two-lane road with shoulders. The

For Nashville singer/songwriter and “American Idol” performer Kendra Chantelle, it will be a homecoming when she appears live onstage with her band at Chantelle West Knox Rotary’s big barbecue cookoff event on Friday, May 3.

She’s a Loudon County native and a 2006 graduate of Loudon County

High School who attended Maryville College on a choral scholarship before taking her dream to Music City.

“It’s always fun to play close to home,” says Chantelle. “I expect a lot of friends and relatives from Loudon County will turn out. I’m bringing my band, and we are all very excited about playing this event.”

Kendra will perform from 7-9 p.m. Friday. On Saturday, live music starting at noon will be by the Early Morning String Dusters, Second Opinion and Kounterfitterz.

commissioner said we need local political support to get it on the list. Roughly 7,000 cars per day travel this route.”

East Emory Road (SR 131) east from Maynardville Highway to Bell Road. Traffic count is 13,000 cars per day.

Extending Emory Road from Clinton Highway west to Oak Ridge Highway. This project lies within the House district of Rep. Roger Kane who is supportive, Hamilton said.

“Finally, we also requested work on upgrading I-75. If the state is not going to build a Knoxville Belt-

way, then the state should be aggressive in upgrading I-75,” said Hamilton.

BRINK would like to see I-75 widened from Emory Road to the Anderson County line, but “that’s not in the immediate future.”

Schroer told the group the bid will be let in July to four-lane Maynardville Hwy. from Temple Acres in Halls to the Knox and Union county line. “There will be some curbing and sidewalks in the Halls area,” said Hamilton. The project should start in September and be fi nished in two to two-and-a-half years.

Alma and Paul Williams share a laugh with John R. McCloud (center) at his birthday party. Alma was a longtime 1st grade Former Brickey Elementary teacher at Brickey. principal John R. McCloud celebrates his 85th birthday at Louis’ during a party hosted by his Brickey Buddies.

Happy birthday, John R. Can it possibly be true that John R. McCloud is 85?

Surely not. He has the energy of a person half that age. Every time I see him, he’s running to and fro, painting, dressing up like a clown for a carnival or doing some other project at Christ United Methodist Church; being interviewed on KCSTV or visiting the school that now bears his name.

John R., as many of you know, was principal of what was then called Brickey Elementary School from its opening in 1961 until his re-

at Louis’ Restaurant. I didn’t find out about it until after it happened, but photographer extraordinaire and one of my 2nd grade teachers, Faye Nelson Heydasch, took pictures and sent them to this Jake former Brickey Bear.

Mabe And I thought: what can I give John R. for his birthday? So, I decided to surprise him with this column.

MY TWO CENTS It isn’t much, I know, but it tirement in the mid-1990s. comes from the heart.

The old brick school is gone When the new school was now, but the new one, opened dedicated in 2003, I said in 2003, is named Brickey- during the ceremony that if McCloud Elementary. the late TV reporter Charles McCloud’s Brickey Bud- Kuralt had ever brought dies, as they are called, threw his motor home to Brickey him an 85th birthday party to file an “On the Road”

segment for CBS News, he would have loved John R. McCloud. We all did.

We used to live for the moments when he’d pop his head into the classroom, partially because we knew we’d be hearing stories for the next 10 minutes.

John R. was a principals’ principal. He loved kids and he’d back up his faculty if they needed it. Just ask them.

When the school would hold a play or musical, John R. would often jump right in, doing The Twist or singing along. I hear rumors that he breaks out his Tom Jones impression for the Christ UMC seniors every now and again.

Here’s my all-time favorite John R. story: One morning, a package arrived at the front office.

John R. noticed the writing on it and took it to Linda Glass, who taught at Brickey for more than 25 years.

She looked at the box and said, “Why did you bring this to me? It’s not mine.”

“Well,” he said, “it has your name on it.”

Linda looked again. The package said: “Glass. Handle with care.”

I think of John R. almost like a second father, which in a way he was while I attended elementary school.

No doubt generations of students can say the same.

Happy birthday, John R. You are loved.

ADDICTION MEDICINE WEIGHT LOSS PRIMARY CARE Addiction is a treatable disease.

We are part of the cure, NOT the cause.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a column about a quilt trail.

I received some current information from Stephani McCarty who is with the Appalachian Quilt Trail, headquartered in Rutledge, of the Clinch-Powell RC&D Council.

To date, the trail has more than 790 quilt squares.

These include barns, historic places, local businesses, museums, art galleries and other locally-owned points of interest. The trail covers much more than 300 miles, all being documented now in 66 counties of Tennessee.

The network is made of several local organizations, all having different missions but contributing to the same goal. Donations go directly

Miller was recently approved by the board of the Museum of Appalachia to be one of the selected vendors at the fall homecoming in Kathryn Woycik October. Being an advocate of tourism, she is hopeful to eventually bring a quilt trail back into the nonprofit pro- to Anderson County.

Self defense for free

Overdrive Krav Maga & Fitness wants women to know they can defend themselves in a violent situation. Owners James, Adrienne and Mike Bailey feel so strongly about this that they are offering selfdefense classes to women at no charge.

“Not only are you learning effective self-defense but you get a great workout at the same time,” said Adrienne. “Even though the classes are free it is difficult to convince women they would benefit from the instruction.”

Adrienne says levels are offered for everyone and you do not have to be fit to

take the class. One current class member is the object of a stalker and did not wish share her name.

“The moves they teach us are simple and effective and I felt ready to go after just one class,” she said. “Anyone can learn how to defend themselves regardless of their size or the size of their attacker. All women should do this.”

The business may be family owned, but you won’t necessarily get the “family” treatment during one of their drills. Mike is a Krav Maga (contact combat) instructor and also assists in the day-to-day operations along with stress drills.

“Unless you’re training this way (stress drills) you’re not really going to be prepared for an actual situation,” Mike said. “If you find yourself in a defensive position you aren’t going to talk your way out of it. If they could be talked out of attacking you they would have talked themselves out of it. And it’s rarely only one attacker.”

been participating in training sessions at Overdrive for more than a year.

Kuhlman visits Powell GOP

Newly-elected Knox County GOP chair and West Knox Republican Club

president Ruthie Kuhlman was the guest speaker at the Powell Republican Club on April 18. Once she opened the floor for questions, her planned five-minute talk went the entire hour.

“It has been an eventful three months with a couple of tough weeks in the beginning,” said Kuhlman.

“But I’m tough and I pulled through it. We have a lot to do in this town and we all need to get along.”

“The Republican Party needs to stand for its values,” said Powell Republican Club president John Van Dyke. “I can’t get other people to participate. I don’t understand why people don’t care.”

Kuhlman spoke briefly about the recent Lincoln Day Dinner, which drew more than 700 guests and garnered $7,000 to $8,000 for the Republican Party to support future candidates.

“The biggest problem with the Republican Party is that it’s stagnant. I believe in the old values but we also need to take on some new values,” said Kuhlman. “I am here to grow the club and move forward. I will do what’s right for this party.”

The Powell Republican Club meets at 7 p.m. each third Thursday at Shoney’s in Powell. Knox County Commissioner R. Larry Smith will speak in May. Reach Cindy Taylor at ctaylorsn@gmail. com.

Lakeshore transfer moves ahead Dr. John Turner, former President of Knoxville College and retired TVA vice president, has been appointed by Mayor Rogero to Knoxville Community Development Corporation to replace longtime member Juanita Cannon who served over 20 years.

Of all the mayoral appointments to boards and commissions, KCDC ranks in the top tier in terms of authority and influence in shaping the future of the city.

■ Dan Murphy, UT professor and former Knox County school board chair, was also appointed by Rogero to the KCDC board to replace Craig Griffith, former city public affairs director. He was an active Rogero supporter in 2011.

■ For the first time in KCDC history, a majority of the full board is African American.

Previous commissioners have included Gov. Bill Haslam, former city law director Morris Kizer, former city community development director Laurens Tullock and Griffith.

If all the residents of KCDC-managed housing were a city, it would exceed 6,299 city residents, which is larger than most current Tennessee cities.

■ Mayoral appointments such as this, according to a Rogero spokesperson, are not announced by a news release so the public has to learn of them by word of mouth or checking each board’s website to discover them.

A system should be put in place to show monthly who the mayor has appointed to the more than 30 boards to which she can name members.

■ Lee Miracle, property manager for the city of Knoxville for 17 years, is retiring July 31. He is having a hip replacement this week. He previously worked for Knox County in the property assessor and register of deeds offices.

His competence and thorough approach to city property issues set an example which will be hard to emulate. The city has not yet started to advertise to fill his position.

■ Dorothy Stair, mother of City Council member Marshall Stair, has been elected chair of the Blount Mansion board, to take effect in June.

She has previously served as president of Knox Heritage and is a strong

Victor Ashe

Lobbying for roads proponent of historic preservation. She will be an active leader for this historic site. She also serves on the board of Visit Knoxville.

A new director for Blount Mansion will be announced soon.

■ Judge Tena Campbell gave TVA a serious lesson about what the First Amendment means, a concept which has been difficult for TVA lawyers and the board to understand.

You may recall almost two years ago, TVA imposed a dress code for persons attending TVA public hearings including a ban on facial paint.

Several people were denied entry and then filed a lawsuit in federal court to assert their right of free speech through dress as well as word.

Judge Campbell denied the TVA motion to dismiss and ordered the matter to go to trial, which suggests that she believes there is merit to the claim.

At a time when TVA has serious cost overruns, it is astonishing they would waste money and time worrying about how attendees dress at a public hearing.

One would think the board would intervene and instruct their lawyers to drop the matter.

Let people attend the hearings dressed as they want, just as Knox County Commission and Knoxville City Council do.

■ Gov. Haslam’s commissioner of finance and administration, Mark Emkes, has resigned effective May 31.

The governor would not have to look far to find a well-qualified replacement if he picked Larry Martin, who worked for Haslam when he was mayor and has continued to work as a special trouble-shooter for him in Nashville. Martin resides in Knox County and commutes to Nashville.

NOTES ■ West Knox Republican Club will meet 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 6, at West High School.

The speaker is Dr. Manish K. Sethi, a physician from Nashville, speaking on health care reform.

In Nashville for a meeting with TDOT commissioner John Schroer are: Carl Tindell and Clark Hamilton of BRINK (Better Roads in North Knox), Schroer, and state Reps. Bill Dunn, Steve Hall, Harry Brooks and Roger Kane. Photo submitted

Spring cleaning Knox County Commission is expected to approve a $159,982 state grant to clean up five parcels of privately-owned property that have been used as an illegal dump site for old tires.

A resolution to approve the grant is on the agenda for Monday’s commission meeting.

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has approved a grant for the cleanup of parcels on Alex Bales Road and Smith School Road in the Thorn Grove area. Work is to begin May 15 and end

by Dec. 31.

Nearby residents say the property is at least a mile away from land bought by The Development Corporation near the Midway Road interchange with I-40E for use as a business park. TDC has not been able to get the property rezoned, and insiders who bought adjacent tracts have not seen a profit.

The tire cleanup is authorized by the Solid Waste Management Act of 1991,

Betty Bean

which was written to reform the way solid waste disposal is handled in Tennessee.

One of its major objectives was to reduce the stream of waste going to landfills by developing other means of disposal, primarily recycling. One of its provisions, the Waste Tire Program, was designed to keep old tires out of permitted landfills.

The Solid Waste Management Act requires TDEC to fund grants to counties to clear old tires out of illegal dumpsites. It requires counties to provide disposal methods for the discarded tires. And it requires TDEC to help counties find “beneficial” uses for the old tires and prohibits the practice of dumping shredded tires in permitted landfills if better end uses are available.

The law allows TDEC to seek cleanup costs at the rate of $1 per tire from responsible parties when feasible, which has not been deemed appropriate in the case of the Thorn Grove properties.

“One of the things that triggers these actions is complaints from the neighbors,” said Knox County Solid Waste director Tom Salter. “These dumps have to be huge and they have to be old. TDEC had known about this dump for years, and the current property owners did not dump the tires.”

The Waste Tire Program is funded by a $1.35 predisposal fee tacked onto the cost of all new tires sold at retail, including tires for farm tractors and other equipment.

Illegal tire dumping should be reported to the Division of Solid Waste Management’s field staff or by calling 1-888-891-8332.

Knox County residents may bring up to four tires at a time to any county convenience center, with the exception of Carter, which has space limitations, Salter said. He also said his department would welcome

help from citizens.

“There’s no way to track waste tires. We need people to report tire dumps to us, especially near the roadside,” Salter said. “We have an environmental crimes investigator (Jackie Paul, formerly a codes inspector) who is focusing on waste tire disposal. If citizens see someone dumping tires, we really need that information.”

Meanwhile, out near Farragut on Lexington Drive, property owned by auctioneer Sam Furrow, cleanup is finally underway on the huge pile of asphalt roofing shingles dumped there following severe hailstorms in April 2011.

The city of Knoxville, which had annexed the property, filed suit against Greenphalt Recycling, accusing the company of operating an unauthorized dump site. Greenphalt shut down and left town, leaving Furrow responsible for the cleanup.

Furrow told WBIR-TV that he’s contracted an outof-state company to chip up and recycle the shingles into asphalt. Both the city and Furrow expect the lot to be clean by year’s end.

LMU battles back with new programs New degrees and a Center for Leadership and Community Advocacy are ahead for Lincoln Memorial University’s Duncan School of Law, located in Knoxville’s Historic City Hall.

The law school was the brainchild of LMU board chair Pete DeBusk. It’s named for U.S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan Jr., who served as a criminal court judge before his election to Congress.

The law school will graduate its first class in May, a group of 80, most of whom have attended classes while working full-time.

The school has reapplied for provisional accreditation with the American Bar Association and a site review team toured the campus March 17-20. Interim Dean Parham Williams expects a decision

credit class in evidence this summer.

“The students will be measured on how they function in class. Those who succeed will be enrolled in the fall as regular law students,” said Williams.

Since 24 law schools already have an admission

Sandra Clark

by year’s end, saying “I feel very positive about the future of this law school.”

Williams should know.

He was a law school dean for 36 years, and has chaired 13 ABA site teams and served on several more.

The school has a new program this summer for folks who have been denied admission to other law schools.

Students who have a bachelor’s degree and have taken the law school entrance exam, the LSAT, may apply to take a free, non-

through performance program, and all are ABA accredited, he doesn’t see the program as a hindrance to accreditation.

Parham Williams leaves listeners ready to enroll in law school. He’s obviously the right man in the right place at the right time.

Graf also designed an impressive mansion at 2809 Kingston Pike (1915) and Carnegie Hall (1917) and Thaw Hall (1923) at Maryville College. Having designed furniture magnate James G. Sterchi’s Stratford mansion on Dry Gap Pike in 1910, he was commissioned to design the Sterchi Furniture Company’s 10-story retail store and warehouse (116 South Gay St.) in 1920. In November 2002, a $10.5 million renovation transformed the former Sterchi Building into 100 loft apartments.

He also designed the Carson-Newman College gymnasium, Tusculum’s Science Hall, Rule Junior High School, Moses School, Fountain City Grammar School and Bearden Elementary School. In addition to St. John’s Lutheran Church, he designed South Knoxville Presbyterian Church (later Greystone) and Deaderick Avenue Baptist Church.

Among the last structures he designed before he retired

ster Hall, are supported by arched braces below a ceiling which rises almost 40 feet at its peak.

The astounding stainedglass windows in the sanctuary representing nine biblical scenes were crafted entirely onsite in Emory Place prior to installation. Although the average cost of those windows was $235 in 1913 and the total for all 61 stained glass windows in the church was $2,900, their value was recently estimated at $13 million. The lifelike images represented in still-vivid colors after 100 years provide a particularly worshipful ambiance for the roughly 275 congregants who occupy the pews.

The original organ was replaced in 1955 with a 15-rank Moehler pipe organ, which was enhanced in 1989 by a 35stop, 45-rank, 3-manual addition. With the 1991 installation of a magnetic slider chest, the organ now ranks among the top concert instruments in Knoxville.

In recognition of its contribution to the city, St. John’s Lutheran Church was placed

were the Graf-Cullum House at 325 Woodlawn Pike (1923), inspired by the Prairie-school movement, and the Knoxville Journal Arcade Building (1924) at 618 S. Gay Street.

In retirement the Grafs made their home in what was then called Powell Station. R.F. Graf died on Jan. 27, 1940, at Knoxville General Hospital. He was 76. His services at Mann’s Mortuary were conducted by Dr. John S. Eakin and Dr. Clifford Barber of Second Presbyterian Church. He was survived by his wife, the former Ida Vinson (1869-1951), one daughter, Catherine Christian of Monticello, Ky.; and four sons, Herbert R. of Knoxville, Karl of Washington, D.C., Frank of Gastonia, N.C. and Lawrence of Knoxville. Among his pallbearers were prominent Knoxvillians A.B. Baumann, Wylie Morgan, J.A. Ahler and Neal B. Spahr.

The architectural heritage of East Tennessee was vastly enriched by the talented Richard Franklin Graf. Many structures remain to remind us of his contribution.

Recruiting is football heartbeat More than once you may have heard that recruiting is the lifeblood of Tennessee football.

Butch Jones and his people are on the case. Their start is encouraging. There is a catch: They still must identify and sign more and better players than Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and opponents of that ilk if they hope to whip them on the field.

Learning all the plays, giving great effort, eliminating errors and playing fast may point a team toward progress. Sharp strategy helps but competing for championships requires talent.

There is an old horsebarn saying that you don’t win the Derby with a donkey. That translates into “only thoroughbreds win the great Kentucky race.”

There is another horse saying: It costs much the same to feed and house

winners and losers. That doesn’t need translation.

In football, separating potential winners from losers at age 17 is the trick.

Jalen Hurd and Todd Kelly were obvious. Correctly evaluating a hundred others is the next best step toward restoration of the Volunteers. Speed is measured with stop watches. Weight rooms reveal a lot about strength. Camps are insightful. Very careful study of game video provides clues about agility, explosion and even will to win.

Individual visits with prospects, parents, coaches, teachers, friends and the high school janitor

generally yield information. The process is tedious and takes time.

The really hard part in evaluation is reading tea leaves and crystal balls, peering around the corner, two or three years into the future, and guessing about growth and development.

After getting all the components of the first part correct, next are the cultivation of relationships and the successful sale of what you have to offer.

Tennessee has positives for presentation: Good school, rich tradition, giant stadium, great training facility, strong support system, hundreds of ex-Vols as patterns, thousands and thousands of passionate fans.

Again, early returns are encouraging.

Two incidents are little bugs in the recruiting soup.

Tennessee people have stopped worrying about it but outsiders are still stir-

God’s owner’s manual Blessed are you, O Lord; Teach me your statutes.

With my lips I declare All the ordinances of your mouth.

I delight in the way of your decrees As much as in all riches.

I will meditate on your precepts, And fix my eyes on your ways.

I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

(Psalm 119:12-16 NRSV)

Psalm 119 is unique in the Bible. It is the longest chapter in Scripture, to be sure, but that is not its claim to fame.

It is made up of 22 stanzas (most modern versions of the Bible print it that way, with spaces between

the stanzas), and in Hebrew it is an alphabetical acrostic, a fact which is not apparent at all in English.

Every line of the first stanza begins with an alef, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet; every line of the second stanza begins with

the second letter, bet, and so on.

Such a device could appear to be simply linguistic acrobatics, or an aid to memorization, but there is another theory that scholars put forth. Some authorities maintain that it is a way to express devotion to Scripture.

I remember so well mem-

ring and stirring the brew: Why, oh why, did ex-Vol Jay Graham flee the scene for Florida State? There is no good answer.

Why he said, if he said, old, white, bald-headed coaches can’t relate to the modern athlete is another puzzler.

Why he said, if he said, that the new Tennessee staff was unfamiliar with kill-or-be-killed recruiting in the Southeastern Conference remains a minor irritant. Only dumbdumbs would see it as anything less than war.

Tennessee, indeed, has some coaches with my kind of hairstyle. John Jancek, Steve Stripling, Willie Martinez, Mike Bajakian and Dave Lawson come to mind. They are some shade of white but not old enough to be called ancient. They appear to be good guys but I do believe they are plenty tough enough.

Deeper in the background is another curiosity, J.R. Sandlin, a bright, young idea man hired away from Alabama in Decem-

ber to be office director of Tennessee recruiting. He vanished in March. Coach Jones said “J.R. has moved on and is no longer part of the program.”

Hmm. Did J.R. get homesick for Tuscaloosa? Did he wear his religion too low on his sleeves? Did he rub somebody the wrong way?

Who made which mistake?

Exactly what happened?

Neither Graham nor Sandlin nor the “bald-headed white guys” putdown matter one snip in the overall recruiting picture if Tennessee evaluates correctly, builds warm, dependable relationships, conveys the impressive family plan and signs four- and five-star studs that do well in academics, represent the university with dignity and earn all-America honors.

The Jones gang is off to a fine start. Perhaps I overestimate the difficulty of recruiting. No way do I exaggerate the importance.

orizing Scripture in Vacation Bible School. I am also old enough to remember when we learned and recited bible verses in public school, and were rewarded with small treasures. Memorizing a whole chapter from the Gospel of John earned me a New Testament, which I still have. (I do not advocate for Biblical instruction in public school, however; I believe firmly that is the province of the home and the church!)

All of this is whirling in my mind because, on a recent Sunday, my husbandto-be was listening carefully to the sermon. Lewis’ mind is always in gear, and he wrote a quick note to me (I know, passing notes in church is what teenagers do, but we feel a little like teenagers these days!),

a note which became the title of today’s column.

Sometimes church people take the Bible for granted. We forget that it is God’s self-revelation to us, God’s love letter to the world, God’s claim on God’s creation: it is, in short, God’s owner’s manual. We should be thankful for it, honor it, study it and live by it!

God created us, and then – early on – gave us a few rules. Since that time, through Scripture, God has revealed God’s nature and purpose and will and desire for our love and obedience over and over again.

God’s Word tells us Who God is, who we are and what it is God wants from us. “And what is that?” you may ask.

The answer is quite simple.

News from SOS Four education bills did not pass this year’s state General Assembly session, but are likely to return next year.

The final version of the Charter Authorizer Bill would have given the state Board of Education the authority to overrule local school boards and approve charter schools at schools failing to make “adequate yearly progress.” SOS opposes this bill because we want decisions about local charter schools to be made by local school boards and the governments that fund them.

The Tennessee Choice and Opportunity Scholarship Act would have made vouchers available to 5,000 students in the first year with numbers rising in future years. To qualify, students would have to be enrolled in schools in the lowest 5 percentile on standardized test performance and qualify for free or reduced lunches. SOS opposes the school voucher bill because it uses public monies to fund private schools that are outside the purview of local school boards.

A bill to require the election of school superintendents in districts where they had previously been elected was rejected.

Bills to permit counties to hold partisan school board elections, if twothirds of the County Commission approves, have been sent back to subcommittees. SOS opposes both of these initiatives.

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.

“We set a goal just to place in the top ten,” said Malone. “We’ve worked so hard and improved a lot.”

“I knew we could do this,” said Sellers.

Despite losing to SouthDoyle 11-9 on April 18, the diamond Panthers showed some fight. Going into the sixth inning, Powell trailed the Cherokees 11-1.

“We showed a lot of heart,” said head coach Jay Scarbro.

The Panthers shut out Fulton 10-0 in one of the Knox Catholic charity games.

Powell stayed hot last week, beating Karns 3-2 at home in a game that will not count as a district matchup.

Coach Scarbro attributed the close win to a strong start and hitting the ball at opportune times.

“We turned over plays in the first and second innings to get us out of there,” said Scarbro. “We had key two-out hits to score two runs for us.”

Junior Dalton Long and senior Clay Payne were the pitchers, with Long starting and Payne relieving.

“Both of them threw strikes and threw them well,” said Scarbro.

The game was highlighted by the return of sophomore Koby Hyde to throw out the first pitch.

Hyde was injured earlier this year in an automobile accident.

Powell, 16-10, has one remaining home game – senior night Tuesday, April 30, against Grace Christian Academy.

District tournament seeding was unknown at press time, but Scarbro has good news.

“It looks like in several ways we’re starting to come together before the district tournament,” he said. “It looks very positive going into the postsea son.”

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Better health makes for better students

By Wendy Smith Test scores are undeniably important, but even they play second fiddle to a student’s health. That’s why Knox County’s Coordinated School Health (CSH) program is so important. At each school, a CSH team works behind the scenes to keep students healthy, physically and mentally, so that they are better able to learn. The teams, and a number of other initiatives, are coordinated by CSH specialist Aneisa McDonald.

The second annual Let’s Move! event will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, at Victor Ashe Park and Holston Chilhowee Ballpark.

Participants will receive a free Walk with Walgreens kit and participate in a pedometer challenge. The Home Depot will provide a free vegetable plant per family and hold a drawing for a gas grill. Subway will provide concessions.

The Tennessee Legislature funded CSH programs in all school systems beginning in 2007. It’s a collaborative effort that mobilizes school staff like PE teachers, nurses and counselors, as well as parents and community organizations.

“I spend a lot of my time bringing people together,” says McDonald.

One CSH initiative that touches all Knox County students is health screenings conducted in kindergarten, 4th, 8th and 10th grades. Each year, with the help of Knox County Schools Health Services, the city of Knoxville, Rural/ Metro and the Karns Volunteer Fire Department, over 12,000 students have their BMI (body mass index) and blood pressure measured, and are checked for acantheosis nigricans, a skin condition that can be a diabetes indicator.

Screenings have allowed CSH to pinpoint which parts of the county need the most help in regard to health.

Seven Knox County elementary schools currently have Cardiac Clubs that meet after school and offer nutrition education and physical activity to students. Programs that teach children to make healthy choices early in life can affect lifelong health

and even change the culture of a school, McDonald says.

Assessments, including a timed mile run, are given to students before and after 20 club sessions. More than 60 percent of participants improve their time on the run, McDonald reports. Cardiac Clubs also offer programs to parents, like cooking demonstrations.

“Kids influence parents’ behavior.

We thought we would start with parents, and it would trickle down, but it was more efficient to focus on students.

They have a sense of ownership about their health, and it’s the perfect time to engage them.”

Communit y collaboration plays a key role in encouraging students to maintain a healthy lifestyle, says McDonald, and this was illustrated by last year’s Let’s Move! Knoxville event.

Community partners worked with the city, the county and the schools to put together the event, which featured

physical activity and education stations along greenways at two parks. Over 1,000 students and family members attended. This year’s Let’s Move! event is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, at Victor Ashe Park and Holston Chilhowee Ballpark.

Let’s Move! is Michelle Obama’s national campaign to fight childhood obesity. Knoxville and Knox County both won national awards for achieving goals in nutrition and physical activity earlier this year.

Students and their families aren’t the only ones to benefit from CSH. A total of 625 Knox County Schools staff members participated in this year’s eight-week eWellness program created

by UT. The Internet-based program awards points for healthy habits, like physical activity and eating fruits and vegetables, and local merchants provide incentives.

The initial push to fund the statewide CSH program was Tennessee’s high rate of overweight and obese residents, and McDonald is proud of the fact that those rates have decreased in

One of CSH’s objectives is to get students and their families outside. “We have amazing physical resources in this community,” she says. Photo by Wendy Smith Knox County, although she credits the community for the accomplishment.

Since the 2009-10 academic year, the number of overweight and obese students screened has dropped from 38 percent to 33.8 percent.

“The work that everyone else does makes my job so much easier,” she says.

Christian musicians are hip in the Square Room

By Ashley Baker Thursday nights at 8 p.m. musicians from all over Knoxville gather for singer/songwriter night in the Square Room to showcase their talents. Some are there to promote more than the music.

The Square Room is a state-of-the-art live music venue tucked away in downtown Knoxville’s Market Square, behind Café 4, a full-service restaurant and coffee bar. Chris Perkins, a local musician, worship pastor and music teacher at Christian Academy of Knoxville, sees the venue as an exciting new avenue for Christian ministry.

The open mic Thursdays started on Feb. 28.

The Square room appeals to both seasoned songwriters and newer musicians, and it offers opportunities to hone music skills and gain experience performing, says Kenny Woodhull, Square Room programming director.

“These nights exist as an effort to help and highlight local and regional s i n g e r - s o n g w r i t e r s ,” Woodhall said. “Our goal is to create a community each evening that is able to engage audiences with quality performances and further equip emerging artists who are eager to grow in the development of their songcraft.”

This venue allows for a wide variety of music styles from country and rap, to Christian worship music. The stage is open for performances from all ages.

“I encourage everyone to go, musician or not,” said Perkins. “You can make relationships with like-minded people and gain experience playing in

Among the lineup of performers are many students from CAK. “I encourage them to go for several reasons,” says Perkins. “I am invested in the singer/ songwriter community, and more specifically, I love what the student age group represents.”

Perkins also said that open-mic performances provide a valuable realitycheck for his students. “It helps them know if music is something they want to fully invest in. At their age to experience a venue like this is unprecedented.”

It is extraordinary because well-known artists such as Amy Grant, David Cook, Elliott Yamin and Gavin Degraw, just to name a few, have graced this same stage for concerts and benefit performances.

New farmers market

By Wendy Smith A new farmers market has sprung up on Tuesdays at Ebenezer United Methodist Church. The market is organized and operated

by East Tennessee Farmers Association for Retail Marketing (FARM), which also operates a market at the Laurel Church of Christ at Kingston Pike and Cherokee Boulevard on Fridays. Both are open 3-6 p.m.

Gary Brown, who sells at both markets and in Oak Ridge, grew up at Hilltop Farm on David Lane. Twelve years ago, he retired as an executive with Kraft Foods in California and moved home. His one-man operation provides what he calls “mad money.”

“I plant it, I care for it, I pick it, I market it,” he says.

He points out the lettuce that he harvested just hours before the market opened to Candy Giger, who is shopping for ingredients for wilted lettuce salad. She prepares this delicacy by adding vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar to the fat left over after frying streaky bacon. The warm dressing is then poured over lettuce, chopped onion and crumbled bacon.

Other current seasonal veggies include radishes, elephant garlic and Swiss chard.

Mary Alford of Alive and Digginit sells cut flowers and herbs, along with “spare vegetables.” She recommends arugula flowers, which are both flavorful and attractive, for salads.

TVUUC seeks art A juried exhibit with a peace theme will open at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, and artists are invited to submit entries. Info: Kate McCullough at katiemac615@gmail.com/.

For Christian musicians, performing at singer/songwriter night is not just for the experience. It is also for ministry.

“My music is founded on the Word,” says Perkins.

“That makes a tangible difference. And it is exciting to experience how that affects people. It is definitely an opportunity to put on display what the Lord has done and how he has developed me.”

Sign-ups fill up quickly at 7:30 every Thursday

night. At 8, the first performer takes the stage and is allowed to play two songs (or up to ten minutes).

“The night is hosted each Thursday by a group of gifted and experienced songwriters from the community: Tyler Anthony, Ben Bannister, Adam Whipple and David Clifton,” explains Woodhull.

Performances usually last until 10:30 or 11 p.m.

Texas Valley Road

In response to a call from a resident of Texas Valley Road, we asked Cardwell whether he has plans for a replacement water line there.

He said no, that recent upgrades to the main line on Maynardville Highway should have corrected problems of low water pressure and even one outage that have occurred.

■

Capital Plan

At the April board of commissioners meeting, Bonnie Holloway asked for a copy of the district’s five-year plan for capital projects.

Cardwell responded with a 4-page report for water and sewer, totalling $8.6 million (water) and $48.9 million (sewer), and said projects might “move around” to fit changing priorities or budget needs.

“The capital improvement plan is developed

Customers of Hallsdale Powell Utility District won’t be getting a rate review.

In a letter to petition organizer Russ Rymer dated April 23, a state official said the petition lacked enough verified signatures.

State law requires a rate review if requested by 10 percent of a utility’s authorized users.

Joyce Welborn, coordinator of the Utility Management Review Board, said HPUD has 28,914 customers and the petition had only 2,676 verified names.

“Because the petition does not meet the statutory requirement, the UMRB does not have jurisdiction to hear the matter,” Welborn wrote.

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

Graft provides lifeline to normal life The official name of the small Gore-Tex tube that connects an artery and vein in Christine Jones’ arm is an “Arterial Venous Graft” or AVG, but she calls it her “lifeline.”

The tiny implanted tube provides easy access to Christine’s bloodstream.

Because she has a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder, the 41-year-old must undergo Dr. Willard Campbell weekly plasmapheresis treatments. Plasmapheresis is a blood purification process in which a patient’s blood is withdrawn, and the plasma is separated, cleansed and returned to the body.

Christine needs the blood treatments to live. “I’ve been machine dependant since I was 14-years old,” she explains. Having the permanent arm graft means that Christine can undergo plasmapheresis in a safer, more convenient way.

Before the arm graft, Christine’s blood treatments were done through a catheter in her leg via her femoral artery. She says she definitely prefers the graft in her forearm.

“It’s less painful and an easier access site. It’s beautiful to me, because I can function and be active. This is wonderful technology,” she says.

Christine’s graft was surgically placed in her left arm seventeen years ago by vascular surgeon Dr. Willard Campbell of Premier

Naming two unique hollows

By Bonnie Peters There are so many colorful stories about the Birch Hollow.

When I was growing up, congregating at the local grocery store on Saturday nights to hear all the news of the week was high drama. I’ve combined place names of Birch Hollow and Mendenhall Hollow because I lack information, particularly on the origin of the Birch Hollow place name.

Still stored in my mind are intermittent stories of a wildcat or panther sighting in the Birch Hollow.

These tales were sometimes topped by the tales of the length and size of rattlesnakes and copperheads seen and killed there. The Birch Hollow Road has a bungee cord

across it at Ailor Gap Road and apparently has been closed off before it gets to Prospect Road. I’m looking forward to retracing some tracks in that area soon.

What I have not found is any documentation of why this hollow is named “the Birch Hollow.”

I looked in the early Union County Census and didn’t find Birch to be a family surname, so I’m thinking that at one time there was a birch tree forest there. Over time, significant logging operations have taken place, so I haven’t noticed birch trees from the periphery.

If any reader can tell me a story they have heard about the naming of the Birch Hollow, I’d like to listen.

are also commonly used for hemodialysis for kidney patients.

Dr. Campbell says healthy vascular or graft access is invaluable for those who need it. “For people who have to undergo long-term vascular treatments like dialysis or plasmapheresis, it’s a safety valve in the arm.”

Christine agrees. “It’s a tool that has definitely made my life easier.”
