Johnson on glide path to re-election

Relay for Life

If anyone is on a glide path to easy re-election it seems to be state Rep. Gloria Johnson, who squeaked out a 299-vote win 18 months ago to win a seat in the House of Representatives. It was a district Mitt Romney carried by 1,100 votes, but several Romney voters pushed the button for Johnson, who has become one of the most popular legislators among Democrats and least popular among Republicans (who control the House by a 71 to 28 margin.)

Cookie sales reflect economy You can figure how the economy’s doing by counting customers in the cookie aisle. That’s the gospel according to Steven C. Smith, president/ CEO of Food City, who said, “Unemployed or underutilized people don’t go down the snack aisle or the cookie aisle.” And although the economy is coming back, there are slightly fewer people working today than in 2007, Smith said.

She often sports a T-shirt that states “Yes, they’re fake. The real ones tried to kill me.” “Cancer is sometimes hard, sometimes easier, but never fun,”

she said. “The loss of your breast is hard, but once you know cancer is in your body you want it out.” The crowd was slimmer for the fifth annual event than in years past due to the weather. Those who turned out did so because their lives or the life of someone

By Cindy Taylor Emory Road through the Powell business district will soon get a facelift, thanks to a partnership between the Powell Business and Professional Association and Knox County. Sage Kohler, PBPA president, announced a committee charged with developing a plan and funding it. Volunteer labor will be key, and private property owners must “buy in” for a unified project. Sandra Clark, publisher of Shopper-News, is committee chair. Members include Kim Severance, Roy Arthur, Laura Bailey and Gary Cunningham. Cliff Brooks, a Powell resident and landscape architect with Carol R. Johnson Associates, presented options for the beautification at the May PBPA meeting along with

mote discussion and ideas.” Brooks said key locations on public property have been identified as starting points, and he hopes businesses will become engaged and want to support the project. Artist’s renderings were available for review showing suggested improvements. Comments will be taken on the PBPA website at www.powellbusiness.com/. Clark said the idea is to attract traffic to downtown Powell after the new section of Emory Road opens. “The new road will divert a lot of traffic away from the Powell business district,” said Clark. “We must be proactive in developing a place where people will want to come and shop.” Targeted areas include the junction of old and new Emory roads

at Gill, Powell Station Splash Park, Powell High School streetscape and the Emory/Brickyard intersection. Also at the PBPA meeting, Mark Field, senior vice president of membership with the Knoxville Chamber, spoke briefly about signage in the community. He said the Metropolitan Planning Commission is drafting a proposed ordinance for Knoxville City Council to consider that would restrict the height and design of signs. “And what the city adopts often follows into the county,” he said. Once completed, the proposal will be available to view on both the MPC and chamber websites. The PBPA meets at noon each second Tuesday at Jubilee Banquet Facility.

Powell singer wins county competition By Betty Bean Lauren Kitts did a good job of hanging onto her composure the first few minutes after she was declared the winner of CTE goes Live, the talent show featuring vocalists from every high school in Knox County. Sure, she shed a couple of tears when her name was called – who could blame the Powell High School junior for being overwhelmed at having prevailed over tough competition in the biggest talent contest of the year? But she pulled herself together when MC Jack Ryan summoned

her up to the Market Square stage and asked her to sing an encore. She belted out the first few lines of “I Will Always Love You” (the Whitney Houston version, not the Dolly Parton one) without a hitch. And then she saw her daddy. “I’d gotten my composure back until I looked down and saw him, and I started crying again. He was laughing and crying – he said he felt like he’d won it himself. And Mama? She was just filled with joy. I just lost it.” The contest was on the night of her 17th birthday. Offstage, Lauren is a little bash-

She’s been joining them onstage for several years and hopes to jumpstart her career as soon as she graduates next year.

‘Nursing Excellence’ honored during National Nurses Week

Not all Clinical Excellence winners were in attendance, but those who were included, from left: Jeanette Converse, Endoscopy; Vicki Haidri, PACU; Shannon Pearson, Surgery; Roslyn Robinson, Senior Behavioral Health; Kellye Stone, CCU; Tristyn Schnelle, Case Management; Margaret Chambers, Infection Prevention; Lisa Greene, Float Pool; Seth Chaffins, Cath Lab; Karen Adkison, Utilization Management/Peninsula; Glenda Thomas, 4R; Lisa McGhee, Imaging; Debby Brenneman, PAT; Dana Stakely, ASU; Renee Satterfield, CTSU; and Cheryl Lewelling, 2M. west since 2009, was nominated by Michelle Dennis, Clinical Educator. In the nomination form, Dennis wrote of Price, “On a daily basis, Crystal assists staff, providing updates on processes important to the safety of the patient. She always goes above and beyond to make herself available to assist with staff education, working various shifts to ensure that her fellow nurses are aware of process improvements.” Price was presented with the award for Clinical Practice. The May 8 awards reception in Parkwest’s Boulevard Bistro not only recognized Baker Award recipients, but also excellence throughout the nursing staff of Parkwest and Peninsula. Dr. Jesse Doers of Stat Care Medical Group joined Amanda Underwood, Parkwest’s critical care nurse manager, to present the Janet Heffern Critical Care Scholarships. Established in 2011 by Stat Care Medical Group in honor of the long-time Parkwest critical care nurse who

passed away with cancer, the award annually recognizes new graduates and clinical coaches. “(Janet) had a motto: that she was a ‘life-long learner,’ ” said Underwood. “That is so important in our Critical Care environment. You have to have someone who wants to teach and is always willing to learn.” This year, the Janet Heffern New Graduate award was presented to Sara Dunham and the Clinical Coach award went to Regena Hughes. The Susan Foster Professional Development Award honors “Sue” Foster, a dedicated and respected registered nurse who served her profession in a variety of areas at Parkwest for more than 20 years. In recognition of her professionalism, clinical ability, mentoring and excellent customer service, the award is speciﬁcally designed to honor someone in pursuit of a nursing degree. Foster’s husband, Carl; daughters, Lauren and Alison; and grandchildren, Solomon and Izzy, attended

the award ceremony and took photos with this year’s Susan Foster Award winner, Stephanie O’Dell, RN in Parkwest’s Cath Lab. In 2000, Parkwest’s medical staff established a Clinical Excellence Award Scholarship to provide ﬁnancial assistance for one nurse from each unit during National Nurses Week to use for educational funding. Since its inception, this award has been given to more than 280 nurses who have been able to attend national conferences in their specialty area. They then share their acquired knowledge with their peers to further cultivate best practices. The winners of this year’s Clini-

Wayne Heatherly 10-Foot Award Volunteer Appreciation Week Parkwest volunteers contributed more than 40,000 total hours in 2013. That translates to a whopping $914,293 value of hours volunteered! Each year, Parkwest recognizes its volunteers’ selfless dedication to serving visitors and patients at the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a Parkwest Volunteer, contact Becky Boyd, Volunteer Services manager, at 373-1556. Morning volunteers are especially needed at this time.

This honor is given annually to one employee who daily demonstrates the Standards and Behaviors of Parkwest Medical Center. The award commemorates a hallmark of former Parkwest CAO Wayne Heatherly’s administration in that no employee should be within 10 feet of another employee, patient, visitor or volunteer without acknowledging this person in a pleasant manner. This year, the recognition went to Margaret Chambers, a well-known and loved charter employee.

We will never be able to thank our nurses enough, but we hope that this recognition ceremony is rewarding and lets them know that we appreciate all they do for our community, our hospital, our physicians and, most importantly, our patients.”

On May 8, Parkwest held its Nurses Week reception to recognize nurses who go above and beyond in their mission to provide excellent care to each patient. This annual celebration is held in honor of National Nurses Week, an observation supported by the American Nurses Association to coincide with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. This year, National Nurses Week was May 6-12. Wendy Shock, Capacity Flow manager at Parkwest, and Crystal Price, Educator at Parkwest, were named winners of the 2014 Leanne Baker Professional Nurse Award, the most prestigious honor given to nurses of Parkwest and Peninsula Hospital. The award has two distinctions, one for Leadership and one for Clinical Practice. “Leanne Baker epitomized what a professional nurse looked like,” said Lynn Cagle, Chief Nursing Ofﬁcer at Parkwest, speaking of the award’s namesake. “Her compassion for the patient, professional demeanor and steady leadership truly set the standard to which we hold all our nurses. That’s why it was such an honor to recognize these two deserving individuals who embody the spirit of this award.” Shock, a registered nurse since 1998, was nominated by Darrell Brackett, Director of Patient Care – Emergency department. In the nomination form, Brackett wrote of Shock, “She is committed to delivering excellent customer service and always does what is right for those we serve. She is also a problem-solver, assessing obstacles and offering solutions that positively affect patients, peers and physicians.” Shock was recognized for Leadership.

History at Heiskell Heiskell Senior Center members received a lesson in genealogy at the May 8 meeting. Guest speaker and genealogist Connie Miller has learned more about researching family history than she could possibly share in 30 minutes.

Cindy Taylor

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was about 9, my grandfather took me to visit a cemetery and showed me where his father was buried,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My curious mind was hooked.â&#x20AC;? During the presentation Miller explained that care should be taken when exploring family history presented as fact. She cautioned against starting research through the Internet and suggested family Bibles and relatives as a first approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually your relatives will have the best information to get you started,â&#x20AC;? she said. Miller says local libraries contain a wealth of information, keeping in mind that there is always room for error since much of the information is hand-transcribed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paper and pencil re-

search is still your best way to start.â&#x20AC;? Miller says once you have gotten your feet wet and gleaned all the info you can from paper you can advance to Internet searches. She warned against believing what you find on Internet family trees or adopting one of them. She also cautioned researchers to look for phonetic spelling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you will find the same person on the same tree with different spellings so it looks like more than one person.â&#x20AC;? Charlie Busler dropped by the meeting to thank those who voted for him for Knox County Commission in the recent election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are one of the greatest precincts which voted for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have already given me some things to work on, and I have already started.â&#x20AC;? Founding member of Heiskell Fire Department William Doug Davis was honored for his service to the community. Davis celebrated his 91st birthday during the meeting and was surprised with a cake.

government Gloria Johnson: Glide path to reelection If anyone is on a glide path to easy re-election it seems to be state Rep. Gloria Johnson, who squeaked out a 299-vote win 18 months ago to win a seat in the House of Representatives. It was a district Mitt Romney carried by 1,100 votes, but several Romney voters pushed the button for Johnson, who has become one of the most popular legislators among Democrats and least popular among Republicans (who control the House by a 71 to 28 margin.)

Victor Ashe

The district is located mostly inside the city of Knoxville, stretching from Alice Bell to Sequoyah to South Knox County. Johnson has an uncanny sense of public relations and has made herself the poster child for those who dislike Common Core, Knox Schools Superintendent Jim McIntyre and the current GOP leadership. Team Rogero is strongly behind Johnson with its political operatives. In 2012, she made headlines and gave TV interviews against the closure of Belle Morris School as a voting precinct. She received huge publicity while her GOP opponent remained silent. This established her as a public-relations pro. As for Belle Morris, it is still not a voting place. Johnson has been criticized for not voting at all on some legislation, such as the constitutional amendment to ban a state income tax that will be on the ballot this November. She hosted a fund-raising event May 10 in Knoxville for Nashvillian Brandon Puttbrese, who is opposing incumbent state Sen. Thelma Harper, one of only two African-American Democratic women in the state Senate. Puttbrese is white. Harper has served since 1990. ■ The two Republicans who seek to replace her have not laid a glove on her to date while they are fighting each other. They are Jason Emert and Eddie Smith. Emert recently emailed this writer that, “It is unfortunate that (Smith) was terminated from his position at Sevier Heights (Baptist

Church) for cause.” When asked, Smith denied it and secured a statement from the senior pastor, Dr. Hollie Miller, that said, “Eddie Smith served at Sevier Heights Baptist Church for over 13 years and was ALWAYS one of the most faithful and effective staff members I’ve ever known. Eddie resigned his position simply because God placed a desire in his heart to make a positive difference in the government of Tennessee. The report that Eddie Smith was fired from Sevier Heights is a lie of the ugliest sort.” Score one for Smith in his battle with Emert in the August GOP primary. He faces a much tougher contest with Johnson in November. Johnson could stumble, but don’t count on it. ■ Republican Martin Daniel, who is opposing Rep. Steve Hall in the August GOP primary, is making the Rogero tax hike an issue on his campaign Facebook page. “Just remember those automatic pay raises for city employees that the City Council left intact. ...” In fairness to Hall, he has opposed tax hikes, but it is telling that Daniel feels it helps him in a Republican legislative primary to go after Rogero and her spending policies. Daniel is running in a west and northwest Knox district. He feels Hall will only say “me too” on opposing Rogero and taxes. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett is holding the line on any tax increase, as is Gov. Bill Haslam. ■ Attending the April 24 fund-raiser for Chief Justice Gary Wade’s campaign to win retention on the Supreme Court at the Pete and Cindi DeBusk home was a who’s who of Republican leaders with a few Democrats. ■ Wade is a Democrat with strong Republican ties. Jim Haslam II, father of Gov. Haslam, U.S. Rep. Jimmy and Lynn Duncan, former UT coach Phil Fulmer, former Gov. Don and Martha Sundquist, former Rep. Bill Jenkins, state Sen. Doug Overbey, along with Democratic judges Harold Wimberly and Daryl Fansler, were there. ■ The state Supreme Court will choose the next state attorney general in September for an eight-year term. Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey wants a Republican to be chosen.

Catching up with the ‘real’ governor Ever hear of Arthur Copeland? You will. He’s about to become the poster boy of Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey’s campaign to unseat three Tennessee Supreme Court justices who are up for a “retention” election (supreme court justices are not elected outright, but the voters are given the opportunity to say whether they should get another eight-year term). Chief Justice Gary Wade, plus justices Sharon Lee and Cornelia Clark all received high marks from the panels empowered to evaluate them, with Wade and Lee receiving perfect scores and Clark getting one “no” vote. If there’s a Democrat Republicans like, it’s Wade, a respected Sevier County lawyer who managed to get himself elected mayor of Sevierville six times despite that county’s bedrock GOP leanings. He’s a personal friend of (and former coowner of the Smokies baseball team with) Gov. Bill Haslam and was appointed to the state Court of Criminal Appeals by Gov. Ned McWherter in 1988 and elevated to the state Supreme

Betty Bean Court by Gov. Phil Bredesen in 2006. (He was also Dolly Parton’s first boyfriend, as per DP herself during an appearance on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show” in the mid-’80s, during which she mentioned tomfoolery in the back of a pickup truck at the Midway Drive-In Theater, which doesn’t have a thing to do with jurisprudence but sure couldn’t hurt him any.) But back to Arthur Copeland: Think Willie Horton, the one-man crime wave who, while serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder, somehow got eligible for Massachusetts’ prison furlough program and committed rape, armed robbery and assault while enjoying his short-lived freedom, thus becoming the only issue anybody remembers from the 1988 presidential election campaign when Democrat Michael Dukakis

took on George H.W. Bush. Bush’s man Lee Atwater orchestrated a barrage of attack ads featured scarylooking-black-man mug shots. Copeland’s got scarylooking-black-man mug shots, too, from when he was convicted of a 1998 contract killing in Maryville and sentenced to death. Death penalty conviction appeals cases are mandatory (the high court must decide whether the crime was “proportionate” to the penalty), but meanwhile, Copeland’s alleged accomplice’s lawyer Herb Moncier unearthed proof that the state had withheld evidence that its only eyewitness had named a different shooter when first questioned. In 2007, the high court addressed the “proportionality” issue (ruling that the death penalty was warranted), but by the time it got back to Blount County the case was bollixed beyond repair by Moncier’s discovery of prosecutorial misconduct. A special prosecutor came in and cut a deal with Copeland for a seconddegree murder plea and a 14-year sentence. He was

released in 2011 and rearrested in 2013 for the alleged rape of his girlfriend. This charge was dismissed three months later in Knox County. Meanwhile, Ramsey, who likes it when people call him the “real” governor, is running around the state presenting his case against the sitting justices, which not only fits perfectly with the state GOP’s “Red to the Roots” campaign to rid Tennessee of Democratic officeholders but serves as bait to entice big-money 501 (c) (4) “social welfare” organizations like the Koch brothers’ “Americans for Prosperity” into Tennessee, where they have heretofore declined to spread the wealth on the “why buy the cow if the milk is free” principle. It also gives Ramsey an opportunity to screw with a friend of the guy who’s where Ramsey thinks he ought to be – conveniently dismissing the inconvenient fact he got only 22 percent of the primary vote and finished a distant third when he ran for governor. Free advice for Gary Wade: Call Dolly. Ramsey’ll die of envy.

Instead of positioning the football in the middle of the field for what should have been an easy field goal, the Vols tried a touchdown, running Marvin for a third-down sweep to the West Alabama 3. Sixteen seconds remained. Gary Wright, from Heflin, Ala., trotted in to kick I have decided against from the right hash mark. participating, but the Tough angle, but Wright had thought did stir memories. made it a thousand times in Kickers and kicks are sig- his mind, always to beat his nificant in Volunteer lore. home-state school. There are Tennessee kicks Center Bob Johnson and to remember and, alas, holder Dewey Warren did kicks that went wide but their jobs flawlessly. Wright won’t go away. kicked on cue and grimaced

as the ball drifted. The referee signaled wide right. “It was just a chip shot,” said Wright years later. “I should have kicked it right through. As it was, I thought the ball went straight over the right upright. It became a judgment call.” Warren thought the kick was good and got in the referee’s face. Assistant coach Vince Gibson landed facedown on the ground, beating the grass with his fists. Wright went to the sidelines where the big rolled-up tarpaulins were parked. “I wished I could crawl inside one and stay until the next week. I cried a lot. That’s the worst thing I’ve ever been through. I wore

my roommate’s monogrammed sweater so people would think I was somebody else.” Two years later, Tennessee lost the Orange Bowl to Oklahoma, 26-24. Karl Kremser thought the Vols should have won. His 44yard field-goal attempt in the closing moments also drifted right. This was a snapshot of the fine line between victory and defeat, the awful difference in agony and ecstasy. Kremser felt he had let down those who had fought so hard to get so close. He was certain his heart was broken. At 4 in the morning, he was still in a remote corner of the hotel lobby, face in

Getting ready for school Since our retirement several years ago, I have to admit that I have become rather lazy when it comes to getting up in the morning. But I am usually awake when the school bus passes our home around 7 a.m., and it reminds me how early parents and children must get up to get ready for school. In reflecting on those “good old days,” I often consider how times have changed since the 1950s in rural Farragut. And I doubt that many school kids today would understand the challenges we had to deal with in a rural community. First, most households today have central heat and air that can be adjusted by simply touching a thermostat, so getting the house warm before taking a bath is easy. But in rural Far-

Malcolm Shell

ragut, most homes were heated with coal. And on cold mornings we had to fill the coal hamper, which was outside the house. That was usually a chore done by the school kids. Likewise, I am sure most homes in our area today have indoor baths with clean, hot water, but taking a bath before school in our household was a challenge. We were fortunate to have had an indoor bathroom, but a utility district was a decade away. However, we were more

fortunate than most in that we had dug a well, and everything was great as long as there were no long periods of rain. After periods of rain, the water was often muddy. Many families without wells had to heat water on the stove to take a bath. It was always a treat to visit my brothers and sisters in Knoxville and enjoy a hot shower with clean water. I am not sure how students today eat breakfast, but breakfast at our home was a family-participation event. My mother always cooked a full breakfast every morning – country ham, sausage or bacon along with eggs and hot homemade biscuits. And the family enjoyed breakfast together. My father always helped with the cooking, and his specialty was making gravy

to the perfect consistency. Indeed, the Cracker Barrel could have taken a lesson from him in making gravy. We ate breakfast early because that gave me time to wash the dishes. A few days ago, I had occasion to meet a couple of my friends at the local McDonald’s to discuss a business matter over breakfast. McDonald’s is located almost adjacent to the present-day Farragut High School, and I was amazed at the number of young students who were enjoying breakfast there. I asked a couple of them if they ever ate breakfast at home. One said: “Yeah, we have Pop-Tarts sometimes.” That is not surprising since the societal environment has changed so much over the past 50 to 60 years.

his hands, stomach in knots, real tears in his red eyes. Do not miss kicks and sit in a corner, face in hands, stomach in knots. Go to kicking camp. Ah yes, a kick to remember … Jacksonville, 1957 Gator Bowl. Tennessee beat Texas A&M, 3-0, on Sammy Burklow’s fourth-quarter field goal. It was a pretty little thing of 17 yards, just enough to spoil Paul “Bear” Bryant’s final appearance with the Aggies. All that evening was happy hour for the Tennessee family. Eventually, those gathered in Gen. Robert R. Neyland’s hotel suite persuaded him to demonstrate the winning kick. The game ball just happened to be at the athletic director’s fingertips. Neyland gave the ball a swift kick and smashed the

dresser mirror. Oh my, that made quite a mess. More normal festivities resumed, and after two more glasses of iced tea with lemon, kicking technique came up for more discussion. Scrappy Moore, Chattanooga coach, stepped up to prove a point. His kick broke a window. Weeks later, the bill for damages landed on the general’s desk. He paged Gus Manning, then business manager, and asked in no uncertain terms who had torn up a room in Jacksonville. “General, that was the famous kicking exhibition,” said Manning, trying to keep a straight face. “Oh that,” said Neyland. “Well, don’t just stand there, pay the bill.”

Today it’s common for both parents to work, and that doesn’t leave much time to prepare breakfast. My mother never worked outside of the home, so cooking breakfast was not something she was rushed to do. Also, fast-food restaurants that served breakfast such as Hardee’s or McDonald’s were still years in the future, so eating breakfast out before school was not an option even if we could have afforded to do so. And finally, the unpardonable sin was missing the school bus. That meant a two-mile walk to school and the hope that someone would pick me up. As I look back on it now, I think the challenges we faced in getting ready for school, and particularly the many chores we had to do before and after school, created a sense of responsibility and helped develop a positive work ethic. Almost all the kids in

Old Concord grew up to be successful citizens who had careers in a variety of fields. And I am sure we never felt economically disadvantaged, even though by today’s standards we probably would fit that category. It was just the way things were, and since all families in the Village lived under similar conditions, the thought of being poor never came to mind. And even those kids who never had the opportunity to go to college were, through drive and ambition, gainfully employed, and several excelled. For example, one became the general manager of a large Home Depot after starting as a sales associate. Others became successful building contractors and small business owners. Did the challenges faced in growing up in a small, rural community contribute to their success? I tend to think that it did.

Singing for spring

By Cindy Taylor The Singing Seniors from the O’Connor Senior Center performed their spring concert at Powell Church. Director Jean Osborne and accompanist Dora Love led the group through musical and poetic renditions of long-time favorites in a va-

riety of styles. The choir is 70 voices strong and composed of both men and women 55 years of age and older. They are available to sing at no charge for churches, nursing homes and assisted living facilities. “We are happy to sing any-

where we are invited,” said choir member Lucille Shreve. A smaller group, The Singing Seniors Ensemble, has sprung from the larger to accommodate venues that will not hold the larger choir. This group presents a lighter, often comedic program.

God, misquoted I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, “I have dreamed, I have dreamed!” How long? Will the hearts of the prophets ever turn back – those who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart? They plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal. Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully. See, therefore, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who use their own tongues and say, “Says the Lord.” (Jeremiah 23: 25-28a, 31 NRSV) It is a fearsome thing to wander into Jeremiah. This fierce prophet did not pull punches; he did not hesitate to call ’em like he saw ’em. And he saw the failings of his own colleagues. One wonders if he included himself in “the prophets” who had not spoken God’s own word. Called “the weeping prophet,” Jeremiah was just a boy (by his own description) when God called him to prophesy. His objections to God were overruled. God

insisted Jeremiah was to be God’s own voice. Jeremiah obeyed but carried the burden of God’s word with fear and trembling and great sadness. God had harsh things to say through Jeremiah. God berated the other prophets, who had freelanced, saying what they thought about the shape of the world in general, and the Children of Israel in particular, rather than accurately conveying God’s own message. God had opinions that

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

needed to be voiced, and God was insistent that those opinions were more than that: They were God’s will. God was impatient with prophets who “lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or appoint them … .” God accused them of “using their own tongues …” and then declaring, “Thus says the Lord.” Ouch! It is enough to make anyone who dares to say “Thus says the Lord” think twice about it. It also calls us – all of us who call on the name of the Lord – to take care with how we speak of God, and how we speak for God. It is a holy thing to say, “Thus says the Lord,” and one must do so with prayer and humility,

A new goal of 350 was set, and the students at Grace Academy got involved. With still one Sunday to go, the second goal was exceeded, and a new goal of 700 – the number of children currently in foster care in Knox County – looks to be within reach, said the excited coordinators. Work sessions to coordinate the needs, sign up volunteers and collect the bags brought out all ages, from grandparents to preschoolers. Each bag contains age-appropriate items such as socks; underwear, pull-ups or diapers; sweat pants and Tshirts; a summer and a winter outfit; a “You Are Special” book; toy; pillow; and Bible. The Voice for the Voiceless drive will conclude on Sunday, May 25.

Winning season

Powell Panthers’ varsity baseball team is probably ready for a rest, but they sure didn’t play tired May 12. The team took the win over Bearden in regional play with a final score of 5-4 to advance to the first Region 2-AAA final in the school’s history. “It was a great team win,” said Coach Jay Scarbro. “Our pitchers pitched a great game.” The May 13 game at Farragut was a heartbreaker. The Admirals took the win 12-2. Despite the loss, the Panthers have earned the right to advance to substate and an opportunity to qualify for state.

Spring Fling at Inskip

A blowing wind and rain didn’t bother the folks at Inskip Elementary when they opened their doors for the annual Spring Fling May 9. They just moved everything inside. Students, staff and community residents came out in droves to support the school while enjoying food, fun and a bit of mayhem. Teacher John Morgan provided the mayhem with his willingness to man the seat in the dunking booth. Second-grader Jared Hammond was the first to send him into the tank. Bounce houses filled the gym and hallways provided space for individual booths. Funds raised from the event go toward the school budget.

A huge yard sale will be held 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, May 2224, at 7320 Crown Road in the Castlegate Subdivision just off of Emory Road.

business The Oreo matrix You can ﬁgure how the economy’s doing by counting customers in the cookie aisle. That’s the gospel according to Steven C. Smith, president/CEO of Food City, who said, “Unemployed or underutilized people don’t go down the snack aisle or the cookie aisle.” And although the economy is coming back, there are slightly fewer people working today than in 2007, Smith said. Food City hosted lunch for media types last week in Sevierville. Speaking without notes, Smith gave a sharp analysis of the economy and the ways government interferes. He sounded, for a minute, like a fellow who is running for ofﬁce. “Median income has declined in nine of the last 13

years,” he said, leaving grocers “chasing fewer dollars.” Smith said Food City has captured 52 percent of the market against traditional food stores. But that drops to 26 percent when you factor in big-box stores, drug chains and others. Food City started in 1955 with Steve’s dad, the late Jack Smith, and one Piggly Wiggly store. The chain now has 107 stores, 77 pharmacies, 81 fuel centers, 13,000 associates and annual sales of $2.2 billion.

Food City serves 2.5 million customers in 980,000 households, he said. “We’re No. 1 or No. 2 in every market.” Political challenges include the requirement that the company offer health insurance to associates working 30 hours or more per week. That’s a challenge for businesses that must staff for peak shopping times. Cutbacks in SNAP (supplemental nutritional assistance program, formerly known as food stamps) have hurt grocery sales. “One in ﬁve kids lives in poverty,” he said. “The poverty rate was 14.2 percent when we declared war (on it) in 1964. It’s 15 percent today.” Until this year, the Tennessee Legislature has forbidden wine sales in grocery stores, and the stores still must get petitions signed and a positive referendum before such sales can become effective in July 2016

Steven C. Smith, president/ CEO of Food City (and then only in counties that now have package liquor or beer sales), he said. Food City will join other grocers to support this reform. Finally, families lose income when the breadwinner drops from a $20-per-hour manufacturing job that goes offshore, for instance, to take a $14-per-hour job in the service sector. The “underutilized” workers can still “pay the mortgage and feed their family,” but you don’t see them shopping in the cookie aisle. We’re calling that economic indicator The Oreo Matrix.

The Wolf’s Den: Classic by design By Cindy Taylor There is something both satisfying and nostalgic about walking into a classic barber shop. David Wolfenbarger knows this and incorporates that feeling into the setting of Wolf’s Den Barber Shop. Wolfenbarger had been happy cutting hair since 1975 in Portland, Tenn. A car accident last November involving his mom, Mary White, changed his venue. Wolfenbarger moved his family and business to Powell to be close to her. His new shop opened for business April 25. The shop boasts a casual, drop-in atmosphere with photos of Wolfenbarger’s history and past patrons decorating the walls. Haircuts are $10, but students, military, ﬁreﬁghters,

police ofﬁcers and seniors pay only $8. Wolfenbarger offers razor cuts and shaves as well and women are always welcome. But cutting hair isn’t his only focus. “I believe in supporting my community,” he said. “I like to help raise money for children’s organizations and volunteer groups and plan to start doing that here like I did in Portland.” Powell resident Steve Burnette walked in during the conversation, and Wolfenbarger quickly discovered he is a veteran. Burnette was pleased to learn that he would be getting a discount. Wolf’s Den Barber Shop is open Tuesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The shop is at 7001 Clinton Highway directly across from Solid Rock Baptist Church. Info: 313-1658.

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC

Three phases of healing By Dr. Donald G. Wegener Many times when a person goes to the chiropractor he or she is under the impression that a bone is out of place and pinching a nerve. He or she believes that if the bone is put back in place the problem will be permanently fixed. This could not be any farther from the truth. On most occasions, the pain is Dr. Wegener a result of injury to the soft tissues of the body. Soft tissues are basically everything but the bone. This includes muscles, ligaments, tendons, joint capsules, discs, nerves and fascia. After being injured, soft tissues heal by a relatively complex process, involving three phases. Phase One, Inflammation: Normal soft tissues have a crisscross pattern that gives them strength in all directions of force. When soft tissues are torn, their fibers are disrupted in a manner similar to the tearing of a piece of paper. Once these tissues have torn, they will heal in three distinct phases. The first step is the acute inflammation phase, also known as swelling. This phase and swelling will last for about 72 hours after an injury. During this phase, the tissues continue to swell causing more pain and discomfort to the injured area. Phase Two, Regeneration: The second phase of healing, called regeneration,

begins about three days after an injury. During this phase, the tears in the tissues begin to accumulate small protein cells called collagen. These cells create a glue that ﬁlls the gap in the tissues caused by the tear. This laying down of the collagen glue during the regeneration phase will take six to eight weeks to complete. After this phase, no more glue will be laid down. The glue is what will become scar tissue. When the glue is making scar tissue in the injured area it is being laid down in a weaker more irregular pattern and not in the stronger, crisscross consistent pattern. After all the glue is in place and the scar tissue has been formed, the healing process is still not yet complete. Phase Three, Remodeling: The ﬁnal phase is the remodeling phase. This phase takes up to 12 months. During this phase, the irregular pattern of scar tissues will line up in the proper direction to create a better quality of healing. Therefore, remodeling is a motion-dependent phase that governs the quality of healing in the tissues. Next time: Three problems with healing

Commissioners at Hallsdale Powell Utility District have continued the policy adopted last year in which sewer bills are averaged and discounted to avoid overcharging customers who fill swimming pools or water gardens. Sewer bills are based on the number of gallons of water used. President/CEO Darren Cardwell said the policy is for current customers only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose is to assist residential customers by allowing a billing credit for sewer service for summer usage of outside water, such as watering lawns and gardens, which may not enter the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wastewater system.â&#x20AC;? The program has several guidelines, including: â&#x2013; The customer must have at least two months of billable water consumption

in the previous calendar year at their current location. HPUD will not use the consumption at a different address or location to calculate the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average consumption. â&#x2013; The billable water consumption for the previous calendar year will be averaged and used to make wastewater adjustments. For example, if a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water consumption for the previous year averaged 6,000 gallons per month, their sewer charge for June, July and August would be based on only 6,000 gallons even if their water consumption was greater than 12,000 gallons in any month in this three-month period. â&#x2013; HPUD has a maximum sewer cap charge of 12,000 gallons for wastewater service. If a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usage is over the maximum 12,000 gallon wastewater

News from The Knoxville Area Urban League

Knox transplant connected to local career By Phyllis Nichols Chris Qualls had bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and ma ster â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees in sports management when he moved from New Orleans to Knoxville in Nichols 2012, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard to be in a new town without connections and find a job that would allow me to provide for myself,â&#x20AC;? Qualls said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a friend who had attended the same college as me in Louisiana, and she recommended the Knoxville Area Urban League.â&#x20AC;? At the Urban League, Qualls worked with Jackie Robinson, one of the non-

profit organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce counselors. Together, Qualls and Robinson found the perfect opportunity for Qualls. Today, he is employed as a merchandiser and account developer with Coca-Cola. Qualls took advantage of training courses at the Urban League that helped him secure the job. The courses provide specific skills needed in the workforce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first activity I did at the Urban League was the customer-service training and interview-skills practice,â&#x20AC;? Qualls said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without that training and Jackie Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gotten the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a gift from God that I was able to work with the Urban League. They treated me like family and were always honest with me about what I

could accomplish.â&#x20AC;? The Knoxville Area Urban League believes willing adults in Knoxville should have a job that allows them to earn a decent wage and provide a reasonable standard of living for themselves and their family. Qualls encourages anyone seeking new skills or a new career to contact the Urban League for assistance.

Wallace says his 10- and 20-pound bags cost about half as much as ice available at stores. Ice can be purchased with bills, coins or credit. People can also purchase discount coupons for bulk needs and for fundraisers. Wallace makes enough to support his family – wife Lori and sons Zac, 8, and Caleb, 6 – with his day job. The IceBorn franchise will also help his family and provide a service to the community, but he sees it as a way to give back as well. “I want to donate a portion of every dollar back to charities to help veterans and their families.” He believes his choice of South Knoxville as a location was a smart business decision. “We get the perfect mix of traffic here. We get students, laborers, low-income people who sometimes don’t have a freezer. We get game-day traffic and recreation traffic.” There’s no chance of the automated machine running out of ice. “I’ve got a commercial icemaker onsite that makes about 18 pounds every 23 minutes, and we keep 6,500 pounds in storage,” he says. He’s also not worried that the machine is unattended. It has several security cameras, is bulletproof and is “fastened down like a tank.” “We don’t see us making your paper because we blew into the Shoney’s parking lot.”
