Brothers open K Brew on Broadway Brothers Pierce and Michael LaMacchia decided to make their dream a reality when they opened K Brew seven months ago.

Their goal was to have a place for people to get an amazing cup of coffee, meet, talk and hang out – a local place to meet interesting people.

Located at 1328 N. Broadway at the corner of Glenwood, K Brew features a different coffee roaster each month.

According to the LaMacchia brothers, this is the model for only 24 cafes in the country.

It was a shocking experience for some – mostly the fish.

PMS science teacher Patrick Davis led the group down a littleknown trail in Powell where they performed a stream survey and studied Benthic Macro invertebrates.

“The electric current stuns the fish for about a minute, so the stu-

dents can pick them up, identify species and acquire geographic information,” said Davis.

Students looked for diversity of species and numbers. Their research allowed them to evaluate stream health. All involved promised that no fish were harmed during the outing.

During the year the club has worked around the exterior of the school to help with erosion issues and improve the rain garden.

Career Magnet Academy meeting enrollment goals

By Betty Bean Knox County’s new Career Magnet Academy, on track to open in August in the former Panasonic building on Pellissippi State’s Strawberry Plains campus, also appears to be on track to meet enrollment expectaMike McMillan tions. It has also won over at least one important skeptic.

The $3.785 million academy is in school board member Mike McMillan’s 8th District, not far from Carter High School, which has a thriving vocational department of its own. McMillan had some initial reservations about the new school, primarily about how it would affect Carter, but says he’s gotten in-

formation that has persuaded him to put his misgivings aside.

“It’s still a little too early to tell, but if it does what they are promoting it as doing, it should be a very positive thing for our students. It gives them more choices.

“I had some concerns initially, about how the school would affect the traditional vocational classes, but now I’ve come to believe that it won’t hurt them because this school is trying to attract a highercaliber student.”

The Career Magnet Academy will have 13 classrooms, two science labs, a media center, a wellness center, teacher workrooms and a cafeteria. It will be housed on the ground floor of the former Panasonic building. The upper floors are utilized by some 300 college students.

They won’t be expected to choose a career path until sophomore year, and dual-credit courses will be available for juniors and seniors to earn college credit while still in high school.

CMA principal John Derek Faulconer has visited every middle school in the county to talk up the Career Magnet Academy, and McMillan said he has been “pleasantly surprised” with the success of those recruiting efforts.

“So far, they’ve got 110 students enrolled, which means they’ve still got about 15 slots open. They didn’t have to hold a lottery,” McMillan said, noting that Faulcon-

er’s efforts to attract students to the school on the eastern fringe of the county were particularly successful at Holston and SouthDoyle middle schools but diminished in West Knox County.

“They say they are rebranding vocational education. It’s not going to be the vocational education that your mom and dad experienced.

And the thing about this school is kids will only be six hours short of having an associate’s degree when they graduate, so theoretically, if you are a go-getter, when you graduate, you can go to work for somebody, take three hours in the fall and three hours in the spring and have your associate’s degree.”

McMillan said.

At 18, local student gives back, while looking forward As a volunteer in the Fort Sanders Regional MRI department at Thompson Cancer Survival Center, Joey Bolden of Seymour, 18, has a unique story to share with patients.

“I am a cancer survivor. When I was 18 months old, I was diagnosed with infantile fibrosarcoma,” Joey said.

As a toddler in April 1997, Joey bumped his right foot on a chair.

But his mother, Sandy Caldwell, thought the bruise didn’t look right. It became a large lump shaped like a mushroom, puffy on the top of his foot.

Caldwell took her son to six different doctors before he was diagnosed at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center with infantile fibrosarcoma, a rare form of cancer that affects the connective tissues, most often in the arms or legs.

Joey’s cancer was so rare that it took three different pathology groups to verify it, and surgery was done in Nashville to remove the tumor and reconstruct his foot.

Afterward, he was in a cast for months and received follow-up care at Children’s Hospital of East Tennessee, with regular MRIs at Thompson Cancer Survival Center. By the time he was 13, Joey had undergone 20 of the tests.

He was declared cancer free in 2008.

So you might say Joey is something of an old pro at the MRI,

many experiences, even the MRIs, at Thompson and Fort Sanders were positive.

“It’s always been wonderful, their ability to help and put the best care forward for you, they take really good care of you,” said Joey.

“They were always very compassionate and caring, it seemed like they treated the whole family,” said Caldwell. “Joey was the patient, but they thought of the whole family during all his MRIs.” Today, Joey’s foot is back to normal except for some numbness on top. He graduates from high school May 27 and will head to Maryville College in the fall, where he hopes to go into oncology medicine. He has been volunteering about two months at Thompson, in the same MRI room where he visited as a child.

“I take patients’ paperwork and make sure they’ve signed everything. I get them ready for the MRI and show them where to sit and wait,” said Joey.

“I love to volunteer at Thompson Cancer Survival Center and give back some of the care and compassion to current patients that I received when I was a patient there myself as a child. I can relate to them, I’ve been through it,” he said.

“I really like helping people, especially people who are afraid of MRIs. I tell them that if I can do it, you can, too!”

Gamma Knife radiosurgery Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center work together to offer the latest in surgical and nonsurgical brain tumor treatment options.

“Thompson is just across the street from Fort Sanders, so we work together for radiation treat-

ment and chemotherapy,” said Dr. Paul Peterson, a neurosurgeon at Fort Sanders. “Plus, we treat with the Gamma Knife – we do biopsies and brain tumor removal.

Fort Sanders has the region’s only Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion unit, the most advanced and widely used radiosurgery treat-

ment in the world, which uses focused radiation to target cancerous tumors precisely, without damaging nearby tissue.

This technology is most often used to supplement traditional brain surgery or in cases where traditional surgery is not possible.

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: ONCOLOGY Fort Sanders Regional and Thompson Cancer Survival Center provide the region’s most comprehensive cancer care. From diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation, we offer care options not available anywhere else in our region.

Working together to provide the best patient care that’s Regional Excellence!

The city of Knoxville cut the ribbon on the new youth disc-golf course at Inskip Park May 19.

The course is open to people of all ages and skill levels but was designed with kids between ages 8 and 12 in mind.

“We’re always working to give kids a reason to come out and play,” said Joe Walsh, director of Parks and Recreation for the city. “A disc-golf course uses space that might not be appropriate for any other activities and is fairly inexpensive comparatively.”

“Memorial Day came about originally to honor our Civil War dead,” said Stoppelbein. “After World War I, we started memorializing all of those that had passed in our wars.”

Stoppelbein reviewed the Cindy verses to “The Star-SpanTaylor gled Banner,” written by Francis Scott Key. Key wrote the poem as an eyewitness Kay Stoppelbein present- account in 1814, after the ed an outstanding program War of 1812. The first verse

asks the questions, “Does our flag still wave? Can anyone see it? Did we win the battle?”

In the fourth verse Key rejoices that victory is won, the cause was just and our motto as a nation should be, “In God is our trust.” “The Star-Spangled Banner” was signed into law as America’s National Anthem in 1931 by President Herbert Hoover.

Take time to thank them.”

The club will hold a fundraiser in August at Zaxby’s but will not meet during the summer. Meetings will resume this fall.

Safety Patrol students from Inskip Elementary were among the first to hit the chains.

The course was designed

by Barge Waggoner Sumner and Cannon Inc. Construction was led by the CAC AmeriCorps conservation crew with assistance from the city’s Public Service Department.

Total cost for the project was about $17,000. The course includes nine baskets with two tee pads per basket offering various skill-level options. The course is free and open to the public during regular park hours.

Where’s the outrage?

Revelations in the News Sentinel about abuses of the city’s pension program have brought outrage from many citizens.

My dad always said just because you could do something did not mean you should do it. Good advice.

The outrage at ShopperNews starts here. The people, including our freelance columnist Victor Ashe, who named their minor children as beneficiaries of their city pension were within the law, but they were wrong. And City Council should move quickly

Sandra Clark

to eliminate this loophole.

Ashe likes to write about others’ pensions, and he’s never understood why I have no intention of drawing a state pension that I’ve been eligible to receive since turning age 55.

Call me crazy, but I believe people who run for office on a platform of limited government should not be lined up at the trough to grab personal benefits.

Public pensions for parttime work are a scam – that covers City Council and the state Legislature where I served with Victor when both of us were young.

Ashe draws a hefty legislative pension as well, and maybe one for being an ambassador if he’s figured a way to cage one.

In a world of rich and

not-so, a world of conservative Republicans and not-so, I want it clear where I stand.

Only one of us has moral standing to write about pensions, and only one of us will do so going forward.

Madeline Rogero is doing nothing more or less than fi xing pension messes created by mayors before her, including Ashe. Is she moving too slowly? Perhaps.

But she’s already done more than any mayor in memory ... and she’s never claimed to be a conservative Republican.

Who the heck is Clarence ‘Eddie’ Pridemore?

Crowd.

Once upon a time, Chancery Court was known as the “Keeper of the King’s Conscience,” and over the centuries it came to be known as a court of equity that existed to do justice in cases too complex or sensitive for common law to handle.

Fansler is a Democrat.

Many of his strongest supporters are not. But they are very worried about what might happen if an unqualified candidate gets elected to preside over Chancery Court – where there is no jury to sort out the facts – simply because of the R after his name.

Fansler, who practiced

Fansler

law for 15 years before he was elected to Chancery Court 16 years ago, has presided over cases dealing with hugely important issues like the Open Records law, Moody v. Hutchison and zero tolerance. He has built a reputation for fairness and diligence without respect to party affiliation.

Don’t believe me?

I’ll drop a few names of those who attended Fansler’s reception: Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, Chancellors John Weaver and Mike Moyers (Fansler’s colleagues), Knox County Sheriff’s Office operative Lee Tramel, Knox County Register of Deeds chief deputy and GOP party activist Nick McBride, attorney Betsey Meadows, former county commissioner Larry Stephens, Chancellor Telford Forgety of Dandridge, longtime Republicans Patsy and Terry Miller, former party chair and attorney Chad Tindell, Knox County Finance

Director Chris Caldwell.

When asked why he was there, Burchett, a deeply conservative former state legislator, said Fansler had helped him with an antipornography bill.

“Daryl’s a straight-up guy,” he said. “We better start thinking more about getting good people in office or we’re going to lose our country.”

When asked if he’d be willing to talk about this race on the record, Tindell said, “Do it!”

Then he lit into Fansler’s opponent, Clarence “Eddie” Pridemore, whose candidate profile on the Knoxville Bar Association website says he is a 1992 graduate of Harlan County High School,

“He’s probably the most important individual on the staff,” Jones has said.

“He sets the temperament for the team. We talk about mental conditioning for success. That’s all born in the weight room.”

Code words are work, work and work. There is no real “off” season for big-time college football. Tennessee, hoping to play big-time football again someday, surrenders very few days to rest and relaxation.

The cycle is relentless.

After this summer season of improvement come the finishing touches of August,

the season of games, winter workouts, spring practice and another summer season of improvement.

Between now and the end of July, your Volunteers are expected to improve in every aspect. Some improvement can be measured. If a player doesn’t do what Butch said, get bigger, faster, stronger and smarter, he is falling behind friends and foes. Everybody is doing it.

Players are expected to improve in quickness and explosion. They are expected to conquer fatigue before it even happens. Since some are leaders and some are followers, those capable of being examples and setting the pace face double duty.

They must get better and help others improve.

Here’s the tricky part: No matter how much sincere effort a player gives or how positive are the results, there are no guarantees of victory. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Missouri, even Vanderbilt, may be pouring passion into their work.

This is a mind game.

Those who would be champions start early and stay late and concentrate in between. There isn’t much time to bask at poolside or smile at girls.

Motivation? There is some. I don’t think Tennessee football has ever endured five consecutive losing seasons. I do remember last year, Oregon 59 and Auburn 55. I may never forget.

denied that right and have only been offered so-called “retention” elections. Of course, retention elections aren’t elections at all. In a retention election, the judge never runs for office, is appointed by the governor, and never faces an opponent on the ballot.

This year, three Democratic-appointed state Supreme Court justices face a “throw ’em all out” campaign led by Republican Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey. Millions of dollars will be spent to convince you that we need to fire the state Supreme Court. Of course, the other side will argue that the current Supreme Court should

stay, and that Ron Ramsey is bringing politics into our state courts.

Be skeptical of those arguments. Politics is already present in our courts.

Tennessee has never had a Republican state attorney general. Currently, the Supreme Court chooses the state attorney general and the court has always appointed a Democrat.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Democrats appoint Democrats. Republicans appoint Republicans. The alternative – direct elections – at least removes the politics from the Supreme Court and gives it to the people.

Elections work fine for local

judges and they’d work fine for statewide judges as well.

The rich and well-connected always have access to politicians and judges.

They go to the same parties, attend the same ribbon-cuttings, and see each other at same high-profile, charitable dinners. Let’s take some of the power away from these folks and give the people a more direct say in their state government.

There are few problems that a good, old-fashioned election won’t solve. Enough is enough. Let’s trust the people and have more elections in Tennessee.

If you couldn’t find a “really good” five-cent cigar in 1914, imagine what your chances are today. Factoring inflation, that elusive nickel cigar would set you back about $100 today.

Marshall clearly owned a refined palate when it came to his smoking habit.

Marshall unloaded his quip while Sen. Joseph Bristow was delivering a speech on what the country needed.

Hilarity ensued, presumably sans Bristow.

Lurking behind Marshall’s wit is a pointed sug-

gestion which – in today’s vernacular – might be stated as “chill out, Senator.”

What’s often needed is less, not more legislation.

This is especially true of the polarizing variety of laws and resolutions favored by our own state legislators since blue became the color of the untouchables in much of Tennessee.

Guns in bars? Please. In what seems like a lifetime ago, then-Gov. Phil Bredesen had the good sense to say guns and alcohol don’t mix.

Voter ID laws purportedly aimed at suppressing fraud chase an imaginary boogeyman. If the specter of fraud keeps you up at night, start with the count-

For good measure (where are you when we need you, Clarence Darrow?), state legislators have gifted students with a bill that allows “teaching the controversy” about evolution.

Breaking news: evolution is settled science. The “controversy” has long since dissipated, and the science does not speak to one’s faith or religion. You can safely praise the Lord while marveling at the process which resulted in you, me and even Stacey Campfield.

Campfield is facing a formidable foe in the Republican primary for the 7th District state Senate seat,

Knox County Commissioner Richard Briggs. (Mike Alford is a dark horse.)

Campfield’s record of breathtaking gaffes and toxic legislative proposals qualify him for a chilling out cigar break. But he’d likely fire up the wrong end and sponsor a “don’t say cigar” bill that would send old Thomas Riley Marshall’s casket into a spin.

No, the safest thing Campfield can do is hand that cigar to a responsible adult, along with his scissors and knives.

And when he’s ousted this fall, smoke will curl from congratulatory cigars in the 7th proclaiming, “It’s A Human.”

Praise the Lord.

nity for misbehavior.

In 1978-79, for some reason my friend Mike Brown chose the weeks of May to target me as a participant in misbehavior.

We sat at the table closest to the teacher, and Mike would throw paperwads at me.

We fell into a daily pattern – Mike incited, I retaliated, I got caught and our teacher scolded. I always felt guilty, and after Mike’s bus came I would apologize to her.

She was patient, but her

selves in principal Joseph F. Day’s office during sixth period on a sunny afternoon in the merry month of May. Ronnie Our teacher recounted our deeds of unspeakable evil. I Mincey thought she presented us as much more evil than we actually were, but she certainpatience reached its limits ly got her point across that on the last day she had bus something must be done.

Mr. Day gave us a choice wait that year, and it turned out that Mike’s misbehavior – two licks or three days.

Mike gleefully took the had been no more unnoticed three days, but I knew I had than my own.

And so it was that Mike no real choice. Had I told Brown and I found our- Dad I was suspended for

three days I doubt I would have lived.

Those two licks instilled the intended subdued attitude, and I became as a stallion broken to harness. Mr. Day was left-handed, and there were other malefactors who said he always hit a little high on the back, but with me his aim was dead center.

My father went to his grave not knowing of my crime or its consequences, and I lived to be a better if not perfectly disciplined student.

Vol record is now shaping up If my understanding of new-age football is correct, the Volunteers are in the process of predetermining their 2014 record.

Whether it will be 4-8 as ESPN predicts or 8-4 as my optimistic friend Carl foresees, it is taking shape now.

Football, once upon a time, was a fall sport enhanced somewhat by spring practice. I remember when Doug Dickey initiated winter workouts, under Section X at Neyland Stadium, not a very pretty place. The space was designed to look and feel like a dungeon with sickening smells added, the better to test mental toughness.

Marvin West

Little by little, coaches who followed expanded football preparations as far as the law allowed – and maybe a little beyond.

Coaches would have been just as happy if I hadn’t been nosing around.

Emphasis on football has now reached almost yearround. There is a wee pause for Easter and Christmas –

since Tennessee does not do bowl games. Players were advised to continue workouts on their own during spring break.

Butch Jones says this summer is critical.

“We have to get stronger, we have to get bigger, we have to get tougher, and then we have to understand our schemes, our techniques, being able to play fast.”

Strength and conditioning coach Dave Lawson presides over this segment of the year. He is charged with inspiring and directing physical and psychological improvement. He is a good

Let the people vote There are some powerful folks who don’t trust us.

Don’t believe me? The evidence is on your ballot.

For too long, Tennesseans have been denied the right to vote for offices commonly on the ballot in other states: attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. In fact, Tennessee has only one executive office elected statewide – governor – tied with two other states for fewest in the country.

It doesn’t stop there.

Unlike 19 other states,

Scott Frith

Tennessee doesn’t allow recall elections for state officials. Recall elections allow you to vote to remove an elected official from office in the middle of a term. It keeps politicians in line and

puts them on notice that the voters will kick them out of office if they behave badly.

(Do you think Stacey Campfield would still be in office if we had recall elections?)

Recently, public attention has focused on another way you’ve lost your right to vote – state judicial elections.

Tennessee’s constitution requires that the “Judges of the Supreme Court shall be elected by the qualified voters of the State.”

Yet, for too long Tennesseans have even been

Praise the Lord, pass the cigars If you stand on the busiest street corner in downtown Knoxville and ask passersby who Thomas Riley Marshall was you’ll get a lot of puzzled stares, at least until the gendarmes escort you away for making a nuisance. Not surprising, because Marshall died in 1925 and was most definitely not from around here.

From 1913 to 1921, Marshall served as Vice President of the United States under President Woodrow Wilson. Trained as a lawyer, Marshall won a tight race for the Indiana governor’s chair in 1908.

Larry Van Guilder

A Democrat and advocate of several progressive causes, Marshall supported a minimum wage and opposed capital punishment.

Today, if he is known at all outside of academic circles, Marshall is remembered for joking, during a 1914 U.S. Senate debate, “What this

Bus wait blues The entire time I was a student of the Union County Public Schools I lived less than five miles from school; even so, I also rode the second load of every bus route to which I was assigned.

I can’t say I ever enjoyed bus wait, either as teacher or student. I can easily picture hell for teachers as neverending bus wait where the

student load continually increases and no bus arrives.

Bus wait can be many things – positively, an opportunity to socialize at the end of a long day of academic rigor, sometimes a bonus study hall, and negatively an increased opportunity for bullying and wasted time. Sometimes bus wait provides a capital opportu-

Helping hands at Beaver Creek

By Cindy Taylor Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church is filled with crafty people. But not to worry – they use their talent only for good.

The Helping Hands ministry meets weekly to work on projects that later will be donated to charitable organizations in the community.

Their work includes quilts, bibs, purses, walker and wheelchair caddies, toboggans and turbans.

They weave and sew their creations from fabric donated to the group or purchased with charity funds. More than a dozen people participate on any given Tuesday.

Two rooms are set aside in the church just for the ministry. The rooms are filled with fabric, needles and thread, and sewing machines.

Those who benefit include the American Cancer Society, the Cancer Treatment Center at Tennova,

The first cataract surgery Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul.

At this moment he is praying, and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.”

So Ananias went and entered the house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored.

Home missionary gives voice to ‘seldom heard’

By Sandra Clark Tom Everett knows churches. He knows Harvard Divinity School and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. But most of all he knows Western Heights.

After pastoring for three and a half years, Tom and his wife, Shirley, were appointed to be home missionaries in inner-city Knoxville, working from 1975 to 2004 at the Baptist mission in Western Heights.

Tom felt at home there because he grew up just across the street and had attended community schools.

It’s said that keen listening is three-quarters of good selling. And Tom, with his new book, “Voices Seldom Heard,” demonstrates his listening skill.

Cartoonist Charlie Daniel says it best: “If one picture is worth a thousand words, Tom Everett’s words paint a thousand pictures.”

Tom caught the Appalachian dialect in his first book, “The Way to Asphalt Mountain,” and he caught the range of emotions felt by those living at Western Heights in his latest volume.

Tom has a preference for food pantries that don’t require a lot of personal information, and he spins this tale, most appropriate for Memorial Day: Project VFW Food Pantry had closed when an old friend pulled up. He lives in a nearby project, always ready to talk.

He’d served with a scout dog detachment in Viet-

faith

He frequently visits VA, a long way down the interstate in West Knoxville.

He’d been to VA today.

They gave him an injection despite him being alone and driving.

Army lingo calls it extenuating, mitigating circumstances. It earned him an unofficial generous bag.

Or check Tom’s humor in this one: Speaking Idiomatically In the ’70s, UT students came weekly to tutor children. Message on one student’s shirt caught preacher’s eye. “Have you hugged a pig today?”

It made preacher think, “Hey, this kid’s proud of his father. Approaching, he asked student, “Is your fa-

ther a police(officer)?”

Student cocked his head quizzically. Preacher quickly explained, “Your shirt. Hug a pig. Your dad’s a cop, right?”

Student laughed, “No. Pig, pig, pig. I’m from Greene County, a farmer in Ag school.”

road, but apparently he was acutely aware of Saul’s reputation as a persecutor of the “saints in Jerusalem,” and was loath to get involved with an enemy of his fellow Christians. Even so, when God spoke and called Ananias by name, he responded, “Here I am, Lord.” (Would that all of us should be so ready to hear and respond to God’s call!)

So Ananias went, as the Lord had instructed, and entered the house where Saul had been taken. He laid his hands on Saul, and explained that the Lord had sent him so that Saul could see again. As Acts 9: 18 describes Saul’s healing, “immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, he regained his strength.”

Scales? Like cataracts, maybe? Luke, the physician, who wrote the book The Acts of the Apostles, may have understood, in some primitive way, what had happened, what miracle he was retelling.

The real miracle in this story, of course, is not Saul’s physical healing, but the healing of his soul. He had been blinded so that he could begin to see, to truly see, what the Lord would do for, through and with him.

Thanks be to God!

Glancing right, they saw a first grade girl, tentatively walking up fence row.

Awed by armada of police forces required to cart her mother away.

Out of the Mouths of Babes Family moved into apartment just across the street from the Center.

Wasn’t long before they discovered the Center was a welcoming place.

The mother visited Clothing Room and Community Market. Her boy joined Bible Club.

The mother told preacher’s wife what she heard her boy say, when a friend asked, “What do you do up there at the Center?”

“Well, on Tuesdays Tom tells us about Jesus. On Thursdays we have fun.”

Tom and Shirley Everett drew a huge crowd to the three-hour reception. Several volunteers served the food and cleaned up.

Somebody said Sam Venable came and Bill Landry.

We saw the legendary baseball coach, Bud Bales.

Tom and Shirley did good work at the center. Who now will take up the task to serve and to listen?

Sometimes I think I am in the slow group.

As many times as I have read this story, as many sermons as I have heard based on it, the thought never occurred to me how similar Ananias’ treatment was to cataract surgery.

When I was maybe five, my step-grandmother had cataract surgery. I remember seeing her get ready to go to the hospital. I remember seeing her kiss my grandfather good-bye – the only time I ever saw that happen! It scared me, because I thought maybe it meant she wouldn’t be coming back!

This was in the days when cataract surgery involved lying absolutely still, one’s head stabilized in sand to prevent movement, for 48 hours! My five-year-old brain couldn’t imagine being still for such an eternity!

Nowadays, amazingly, cataract surgery is done on an out-patient basis. Also, we know more about the effects of sun on the eyes. Too much sunlight (like, perhaps, a light from heaven?) causes cataracts, similar to the damage too much sunlight does to the skin – thickening, coarsening the tissue. We wear sunglasses and large hats to the beach to protect our eyes.

So, what would be the effect of a “light from heaven” flashing around a person?

Loss of vision? Cataracts?

“Scales” on the eyes?

Saul was blinded by a light from heaven, and could see nothing for three days.

In Damascus, a disciple named Ananias was unaware of the drama on the

Powell High gets outdoor classroom

By Cindy Taylor The outdoor classroom at Powell High School is open and ready for students. The conservation club at the school set out to renovate the area adjacent to the portables at the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year.

The space had been in disrepair for years and the students took on the project of cleaning, weeding and planting and made it their own.

Eight months and more than 150 hours of hard work

later an amazing work of art and nature is ready for use. The club held a ribboncutting May 16 with city and school officials in attendance.

“This is the culmination of hours of hard work pretty much every Tuesday since September,” said club president Christopher Forsyth.

PHS chemistry teacher and club sponsor Mary Eisenhauer organized the renovation.

Tennessee Stone donated hundreds of pounds of rock and the construction club helped with

woodwork. The grounds include an amphitheater, a butterfly garden and a storage shed. Official signage close to the butterfly garden boasts a photographic journey of the project.

“Thanks to the hard work by these students, teachers, volunteers and organizations we now have a beautiful environment that can be utilized by teachers and students to enjoy a high level of instruction outside,” said Madeline Ferguson, PHS assistant principal.

Baseball heartbreaker

Powell Panthers varsity baseball team ended a phenomenal season May 16 with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss at Kingsport DobynsBennett in the 1AAA substate game.

Peyton Alford hit a home run for the Panthers’ only score. Dalton Long and Alford combined on a 5-hitter, and the game was decided on a play at home plate in the bottom of the 7th when a Dobyns-Bennett player slid into home knocking the ball

loose from Tanner Latham’s glove. The play scored the game’s winning run.

Powell ended the season 30-10 as both regular season and tournament district champions.

“Overall it was a great season,” said coach Jay Scarbro. “It was a heartbreaking loss Friday night but it can’t overshadow the great season we’ve had. I am so proud of our guys. They really deserve a lot of credit for playing hard every day and getting on board quickly with a new coaching staff in its second year.”

At age 77, longtime track and crosscountry coach Everett Miller is learning to walk again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I focus on walking straight, instead of swinging my leg out,â&#x20AC;? says Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is to balance my muscles and how I distribute my weight.â&#x20AC;?

Miller is learning to balance and walk on a new prosthetic leg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting over from day one. You have to learn to walk all over again every time you get a new leg,â&#x20AC;? explains Miller as he makes his way across the Gait Training Room of Premier Prosthetic Center.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a learning process Miller knows well. He has learned to adapt to new prosthetic legs numerous times over the decades since his leg was amputated above the knee after a shooting accident in 1957. At the time, Miller was a track star, attending Bowling Green State University in Ohio on a sports scholarship.

After his leg was amputated, Miller was ďŹ tted with his ďŹ rst artiďŹ cial leg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was made of wood in those days,â&#x20AC;? says Miller. The heavy prosthesis was strapped to his body and wool was used to pad the wooden socket against his upper leg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to make a lot of adjustments, but got used to it,â&#x20AC;? remembers Miller.

Although losing his leg ended his track career, Miller didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let his disability slow him down. He went on to become a teacher and a successful high school track and cross-country coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure at ďŹ rst if the team would accept me as coach,â&#x20AC;? remembers Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, the students saw that I was determined and moved all over the practice ďŹ elds just like they did. They accepted me overnight.â&#x20AC;?

Miller became so adept at moving with a prosthesis that many people were unaware he was amputee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years I could do anything I wanted.

I could roller skate, dance, and run across the ďŹ eld,â&#x20AC;? recalls Miller.

Over the years new technology and lighter materials have made prosthetic limbs more ďŹ&#x201A;exible and functional than ever. Now, retired Miller is working with Prosthetist Carey Bunch at Premier Prosthetic Center in Knoxville to be ďŹ tted for his latest artiďŹ cial leg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge with Mr. Miller is that his limb has gotten smaller and the soft tissue of his upper leg is very

pliable,â&#x20AC;? explains Bunch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve designed the new leg with a polycentric knee that will give him more natural swing and better control when walking,â&#x20AC;? says Bunch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is comfort and mobility.â&#x20AC;?

Miller hopes his new prosthesis will increase his mobility and activity level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to be able to garden again,â&#x20AC;? says Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carey has done a lot of ďŹ ne tuning, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m adjusting to the new leg and learning to move as normally as possible again.â&#x20AC;?

And, despite living nearly 60 years as an amputee, moving normally is something Miller has always strived for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My attitude has always been that I can do anything,â&#x20AC;? says Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amputees want to be normal and treated the same as everyone else.â&#x20AC;?

Aslan buys Candoro

By Betsy Pickle

has bought out its co-owners in the Candoro building and is now the landlord to the nonprofit Candoro Arts & Heritage group, which was formed more than 14 years ago to save and re-

store the building at 4450 Candora Ave. The sale was transacted without hoopla a few weeks before the annual Vestival celebration, held May 10.

The property, which in-

cludes the adjacent carriage house, went for $135,615.

Aslan Foundation, created in 1994 by attorney Lindsay Young, has been involved as a co-owner of the Candoro building for several years.

K Brew: amazing coffee, amazing owners Occasionally when I walk into a business I feel right at home. K Brew is that kind of place.

In 2008, brothers Pierce and Michael LaMacchia went on a coffee tour of the West Coast. They were introduced to different types of coffee beans and interesting brewing techniques.

This trip left an unforgettable impression on both.

Pierce and Michael decided to make their dream a reality when they opened K Brew seven months ago.

Their goal was to have a place for people to get an amazing cup of coffee, meet, talk and hang out – a local place to meet interesting people.

Located at 1328 N. Broadway at the corner of Glenwood, K Brew features a different coffee roaster each month. According to the LaMacchia brothers, this is the model for only 24 cafes in the country.

The LaMacchias have an extensive knowledge of coffee beans and the different brewing methods to accent different flavors. “We don’t do many things but the things we do, we do really well,” says Pierce.

Nancy Whittaker

My introduction to K Brew was through Brandi Davis, an advertising representative for Shopper-News.

Brandi raves about the hazelnut latte at K Brew and says it is the best.

In addition to coffees, there is hot chocolate, Italian cream soda, two types of tea, biscotti and much more on the menu.

Stop by and say hi to these great guys and treat yourself to an amazing cup of coffee. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m Sunday. Many locals can walk to K-Brew, but there is plenty of parking.

Check out their website at www.knoxvillebrew.com to find parking options.

You can also find K Brew on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Contact them at 216-3357.

Jeff Mansour, executive director of Aslan Foundation, said taking on the property and the duties of restoration “was something that was always in the back of our minds ... we have a

sincere, deep interest in promoting historic preservation. ... It’s a building with a lot of history, and it’s a beautiful building architecturally. It’s a very unique part of Knoxville history.”
