BUZZ Powell High to get new principal Powell High School will have its third head principal in four years, following the appointment last week of Nathan Langlois as principal at Austin-East Magnet Academy. Langlois will replace Benny Perry, who retired.

Langlois began his career as a social studies teacher in Cobb County, Ga., in 1994. After joining Knox County Schools, he was an assistant principal and athletic director at Powell High before joining the Principal Leadership Academy and working as an assistant principal at Hardin Valley Academy in 2013.

Lacking a mechanism for community input, Knox County Schools Superintendent Jim McIntyre will select Langlois’ replacement at Powell High.

In other appointments announced last week: Shelli Eberle is principal at the Fort Sanders Educational Development Center.

Keith Cottrell is principal at Cedar Bluff Elementary.

Cheryl Hickman, a former principal at Carter High School, is executive director of secondary education. She replaces Dr. Clifford Davis, who was elevated to McIntyre’s chief of staff.

Danny Trent, former Central High School principal now at Farragut Middle School, will replace Hickman as secondary schools supervisor.

Outspoken teacher gets walking papers; supporters charge retaliation

By Betty Bean Delivering the news to nontenured teachers that they’re not coming back in the fall is one of the last tasks on a principal’s endof-year to-do list. June 15 is the deadline to inform teachers whose contracts will not be renewed.

By the end of last week, 33 nontenured teachers had gotten the ax.

Fifty-five such contracts were not renewed last year. This number doesn’t include outright firings, retirements, resignations or those who lose their jobs due to funding cuts, nor does it reflect administrative transfers. Nontenured teachers have no appeal rights.

The nonrenewal of Christina Graham, a third-year, nontenured kindergarten teacher at Copper

Ridge Elementary School, has not only roiled the rural community where she teaches but is drawing statewide attention because Graham is an outspoken critic of overreliance on high-stakes testing, especially the SAT-10, an achievement test recommended, but not required, by the state for kindergartners through third grade, which Knox County has now discontinued.

Allegations of retaliation do not come from Graham herself but from parents, colleagues and supporters who are upset by principal Kathy Castenir’s decision not to renew Graham’s contract and by her method of informing Graham – out of the blue, and on the last day teachers were required to report to school.

Men and depression: what you need to know major areas of life, such as work or relationships, may also contribute to prolonged sadness. Additionally, brain chemistry and hormones, which control emotions and mood, are different in men with depression. A man’s depression is likely caused by a combination of these factors.

3. Learn about the different kinds of depression. The most common types of depression are major depression and dysthymia. Major depression is severe and may interfere with a man’s ability to work, sleep, eat and enjoy other parts of life. Men can have multiple instances of major depression over his lifetime. Symptoms of dysthymia are the same as those of major depression but are less severe and largely last two years or longer.

However, more than 6 million men in the United States have depression. Middle-aged white men are more likely to die by suicide than any other demographic in the nation. How do you know if you or a loved one is dealing with depression? What should you do?

1. Look for the signs. Symptoms of depression in men can be significantly different than in women. Because of expectations, men may view the outward display of depressive symptoms as weakness. This may lead to further isolation or withdrawal.

Signs and symptoms of depression in men include:

Peninsula Outpatient Centers For people experiencing mild to severe depression, Peninsula Outpatient Centers provide a wide range of services including individual and group therapy, support groups and medication management. With outpatient centers in Knox, Loudon, Sevier and Blount counties, Peninsula serves individuals of all ages across East Tennessee.

Each patient meets with members of the clinical staff at his or her first appointment to determine the best course of treatment.

A patient’s plan may include daily medication, psychotherapy, case management or a combination of these.

The physicians at Peninsula Outpatient Centers may recommend an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to provide more concentrated care than traditional outpatient sessions. For six to eight weeks, participants in the Adult or Adolescent IOP come to the outpatient center in Knoxville four to five times a week to address issues that need intense treatment but do not require continuous care. These conditions include depression, anxiety disorders, anger man-

agement, ADHD, relationship problems, grief and loss and self-injurious behavior.

Alcohol and drug treatment is available through the Adult IOP at the Peninsula Lighthouse campus.

Depression is not a normal sign of aging Because men from 50 to 60 are more likely to be depressed, some people may connect this to the natural effects of growing older. However, no correlation between age and depression has been confirmed. Instead, the connection to this age group may have to do with the social stigma surrounding discussing suicide and the workplace, health, and

lifestyle changes which may occur during this period. For older men, symptoms of depression may be masked by complaints about physical health. The condition often occurs at the same time as another serious illness, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. A person who is physically ill and not getting better often has an underlying depression.

Dads aren’t immune to postpartum depression Postpartum depression can take hold after the birth of a child and is much more common in women. Yet it may well strike upward of one-quarter of dads. A recent review looked at the latest research on the mood disorder to better explain how it affects men.

For their review, researchers examined 63 past studies on postpartum depression in men. They revealed some notable findings. Namely, the condition may not be as rare in men as once thought.

Rather, it may simply go unnoticed.

Why might the condition be missed? Doctors may not be screening dads for the disorder. Such screening may be reserved only for moms. What’s more, men may avoid talking about their feelings due to embarrassment or shame.

The researchers also noticed that certain men are more likely to develop postpartum depression.

These are often dads whose partners already have the mood disorder. Men with a history of depression or anxiety are also prone to it. Other triggers may include a lack of social support, financial worries, older age and marital discord.

Untreated postpartum depression may last months after the birth of a child. It can cause marital and family problems. It can even affect the child, stunting emotional and behavioral growth.

Experts don’t know exactly what causes postpartum depression. In women, it may partly be linked to hormonal changes. The hormones estrogen and progesterone plunge after childbirth. This drop can alter chemicals in the brain, leading to mood swings. In men, other triggers, such as a lack of sleep and mounting stress, may play a part.

Postpartum depression is often treated like other types of depression. The standard approach may include medicine, such as an antidepressant. Counseling, behavioral therapy and support groups may help, too.

Treatment may also focus on addressing the cause of a man’s depression. For example, some men may feel overwhelmed by parenthood. They may question their ability to be a good father.

Teaching parenting skills to these men may help ease their depression and help create a bond between father and child.

He believes depression is a sign of weakness.

One in 10 men will develop clinically significant depression during his lifetime.

Many experience depression that is triggered by life changes such as retirement, the death of a spouse or a changed health status.

“Christina is a very good teacher,” Bounds said. “My phone has rung off the wall about this. I’ve gotten emails, phone calls, texts and had conversations with parents and … parents (of former students) who are very concerned.”

Also, Bounds said her constituents are upset about the reassignment of Natasha Patchen, a first-grade teacher Castiner selected to replace Graham.

“There are teachers – I don’t know how many – who should be nonrenewed, but it would appear to me that the reason Christina has resonated so loudly is the perception that it’s retaliatory.”

Bounds said she wonders about Superintendent James McIntyre’s insistence that he leaves such personnel decisions to principals.

The pantry does not qualify pet owners.

“If they declare to us that they have pets, we provide them one bag of dog or cat food for the visit along with appropriate treats,” he said.

“Our goal is to have ample resources to more adequately supply the needs of these pet owners.”

If these free radicals are not soon neutralized by an antioxidant, they may create even more volatile free radicals or cause damage to the cell membrane, vessel walls, proteins, fats or even the DNA nucleus of the cell. Medical literature refers to this damage as oxidative stress.

Your one and only defense to oxidative stress and the free radicals are your antioxidants. Antioxidants are able to neutralize the free radicals and turn them into harmless and even helpful products that your body can use.

An antioxidant is any substance that has the ability to give up an electron to a free radical and balance out the

un-paired electron, which neutralizes the free radical. Our bodies do have the ability to create some of their own antioxidants, but there are not near enough available. Therefore, it is best that you get additional antioxidants from food and nutritional supplements.

Your best defense is to have adequate or extra amounts of antioxidants available for the amount of free radicals produced so no damage to your body will occur. When more free radicals are produced than there are antioxidants available, oxidative stress occurs.

Chronic degenerative processes will occur if this situation continues for a long period of time.

■ Dwight Van de Vate got back with us on the potential closing of Commerce Road at the railroad intersection.

In response to a request from Busler, Van de Vate wrote, “We’ve been out to Depot and Commerce a couple of times now, working to get a sense of what options are available.

They are limited, but there are a few.”

Van de Vate, a Powell resident, is senior director of Engineering and Public Works for Knox County.

He has asked Chris Sharp of Urban Engineering to put together a proposal for “a couple of concept plans for modest improvements.” He says an extension of Depot through to Brickyard Road would be cost-prohibitive, would require acquisition of significant amounts of property and is probably not justified by the traffic count.

He concedes that the intersection of Emory Road and Depot is a problem. “It’s a skewed angle with limited site distance to the west due to the railroad tracks.” He said it’s unclear what is county road and what is business parking on Commerce Road. He had some major potholes on Depot filled last week.

Coach Serrano is trapped This is a cruel story.

Dave Serrano, Tennessee baseball coach, is trapped, damned if he does or doesn’t.

If he works the phones from dawn to midnight, chases around the country until his budget is drained, recruits like a madman and signs the best high school players, he loses. On draft day, major league baseball picks his pocket.

If he leans back in his office chair, props his feet on the desk, watches the SEC Network and takes what he can get, he loses. Texas A&M, Florida and maybe Alabama and LSU will have better players because of geography. There is no logical

explanation for Vanderbilt success.

Strange how this Serrano plight has developed. Dave was once a very successful coach back home in California, in the Big West Conference. He led Cal-Irvine and Cal State Fullerton to the College World Series. That’s how he got the Tennessee job, a dream come true with a $450,000 salary plus a share of camp profits and

adidas sales.

Before that, Serrano was a very effective UT assistant coach, 1995-96, when Rod Delmonico was in charge.

The Volunteers, big winners, made their first trip to Omaha in 44 years.

Dave returned to his roots but his heart stayed here. He said Big Orange Country was where he always wanted to be. He applied for the head job in 2007 but athletic director Mike Hamilton, better known for firing a football legend and hiring unusual replacements, chose Todd Raleigh as baseball coach.

He failed and went away with a 108-113 record.

Serrano applied again

New hope for old homes

Last Tuesday was a dark day for historic preservation in Knoxville, but at least it had a silver lining.

The Christenberry House at 3222 Kingston Pike was torn down by new owners John and Paula Chesworth, who say it would’ve been too expensive to restore the home after a decade of neglect. The loss of the 1914 Craftsman leaves a gap in a row of historic homes that includes Crescent Bend, the H.L. Dulin House and Bleak House.

The timing of the destruction was likely chosen to precede City Council’s approval, on second reading, of an ordinance that requires a 60-day waiting period for a demolition permit for historic structures.

The waiting period will give the city and preservation group Knox Heritage the chance to work with owners to find ways to save historic buildings.

Wendy Smith

Knox Heritage Executive Director Kim Trent recalls that much of the 500 block of Gay Street was scheduled to be demolished for a new movie theater until Mayor Bill Haslam put a 45-day delay on demolition in 2005.

During the delay, a design solution was found that saved the historic buildings.

“That block would not look like it does today if we had not been given 45 days,” Trent says.

The goal is for property owners to make money while historic buildings are saved. But solutions can’t be found if there’s no time to

talk, she says.

Fortunately, there will now be more time to talk about the Paul Howard House at 2921 N. Broadway.

The 1910 Craftsman was home to two city council members, a Knox County trustee and a Knoxville city manager. It has twice been recognized by Knox Heritage for the quality care provided by previous owners Mr. and Mrs. Paul Howard.

A big-box developer has offered the highest price on the home. North Knoxville neighbors have created an online fund drive to raise money to purchase it.

While Trent was heartbroken to see the Christenberry House destroyed, she was delighted by the public outpouring of outrage on Knox Heritage’s website.

There’s been a cultural shift in the way the community regards historic properties, she says.

“People are just sick of

in 2011 and Hamilton liked him better. Mike was in the process of hiring Dave when Mike found it expedient to accept a golden parachute and fly to safety.

Interim AD Joan Cronan completed negotiations.

That was a few minutes before Dave Hart got the keys to the kingdom.

Year 4 was supposed to be a very good baseball season. It wasn’t. The end, enhanced by three late victories, was 24-26. Serrano said it was a slap-down experience, humbling, that he realizes he must make philosophical adjustments.

He has always had faith in pitching and defense. He’ll try to do something about

his offense, last in the SEC in hits and runs. Key assistant Greg Bergeron has resigned.

Serrano can make adjustments but there isn’t time to start over. He has one year to go on his contract.

The coach won’t know what he has to work with until after the upcoming draft and the period of meditation when players weigh money offers against the joys of college and value of a degree.

Top high school talent uses scholarships to leverage more zeros. The Vols are almost certain to lose some signees. College juniors say now or next year. Tennessee shortstop A.J. Simcox, outfielder Christin Stewart and pitcher-first baseman Andrew Lee are likely to have that choice.

Serrano’s Volunteers have been a major disappointment. The four-year record is 101-110. It is 39-78 against SEC competition.

Peak performance has been squeezing into the bottom of the league tournament.

A return to Omaha and the national event? Can’t see it from here. It would take a Hubble.

This is a sad development. I remember how pleased, yes, excited, Dave was when introduced as the new coach of the Volunteers.

He talked about what a special place this is. He said something I have always believed: “There’s no reason in the world that we can’t be successful in all sports.”

Make a wish. Maybe it can still happen in baseball.

the destruction.”

The new ordinance was created to catch properties that aren’t protected by a historic or neighborhood conservation overlay, says Kaye Graybeal, historic preservation planner for Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission.

Properties that are associated with a significant person or event, or represent a particular

type of architecture, or provide historical information, fall into this category.

The Howard House fits nicely into this category.

The Christenberry House used to.

The amended city code won’t keep owners from knocking down their historic buildings. But it forces them to take some time to consider whether they want to embrace the community’s

current passion for preserving our heritage or go against the flow.

“It was a sad day for Knoxville,” says Second District City Council member Duane Grieve of the day the Christenberry House came down. It was there in the morning and gone by the time he drove home.

Thankfully, the day had a silver lining that might save other historic properties.

Preorders underway for rain barrels, compost bins Knox County has joined the Water Quality Forum, the city of Knoxville and the town of Farragut to sponsor a rain barrel and compost bin sale.

Preorders will be taken through Sunday, June 14.

Pick up is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 20, at Walgreens, 7523 Kingston Pike at the corner of Morrell Road and Kingston Pike.

A limited number of extras will be available the day of the sale.

“This program is an important step in offering an inexpensive option to help our residents save money and understand the significance of water conservation,” said Amy Mann with the Water Quality Forum.

“We are committed to protecting our water quality and managing the damaging effects of stormwater runoff. The use of compost bins and rain barrels will provide residents the tools they need to conserve soil

and water resources at home.”

The rain barrels and compost bins offered through this program are made of 100 percent recycled plastic and manufactured in the United States. Rain barrels capture rainwater from roof tops by connecting to the gutter downspout. Water collected by the rain barrels can be used for gardens, lawns, and washing cars or pets.

Whiteside sentence leaves victim’s family

government

‘a certain kind of peace’

Five years and eight months after Troy Whiteside shot the unarmed Stacey Sudderth 13 times in an East Knoxville parking lot and claimed self-defense, he was clapped into handcuffs and led off to jail to await transport to state prison.

Betty Bean If there are any positives he can take from a stay in Knox County’s Roger G. Wilson Detention Center, it may be his opportunity to spend quality time with an old friend and former boss, ex-trustee Mike Lowe, who is doing seven months for offenses that include paying “phantom” employees, several under the same job title as Whiteside, who worked as an outside auditor/delinquent tax collector from 2000 to 2004 before strik-

ing it rich in Oak Ridge as a contractor with the federal government.

If GOP VIPs keep getting busted, Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones may have to build an executive suite and provide a subscription to the Wall Street Journal.

But there’s no humor in this matter for the families involved, nor for citizens who watched elected judges and an attorney general beg off the case, citing conflict of interest. They feel that the justice delivered was too little and too late.

Last Thursday morning, more than a dozen of Sudderth’s relatives gathered outside the attorney general’s office in the City County Building. The sentencing, scheduled for 10:30 a.m., was put back until noon, a minor setback in a saga that included at least a dozen postponements and street talk that Whiteside would never see a day behind bars.

Downstairs, Whiteside waited outside the court-

room with his wife, Jacqueline, and their two sons.

Finally, a victim-witness coordinator came to take the Sudderth family to be briefed about what was about to happen. He asked if they were ready to go to court.

“Been ready,” Sudderth’s nephew said, drawing grim, knowing laughs.

After a while, everybody filed into the courtroom to wait for Senior Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood, who has become the go-to guy for Knox County cases deemed too hot for our local judiciary to handle.

There was no mystery in what was to happen – Whiteside, indicted for first-degree murder, would plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter (15 years) and reckless endangerment (six years). The sentences will run consecutively, and he must serve seven years and five months before becoming eligible for release.

Jacqueline Whiteside dis-

solved into tears when her husband entered his plea and was led off to be booked.

Members of Sudderth’s family cried, too. They said they felt for her but think the sentence negotiated between Third District Attorney General Dan Armstrong and defense lawyer Greg Isaacs is too lenient.

Armstrong, elected in 2014, inherited the case from his predecessor, who drew the short straw in 2009. Many political watchers cynically predicted Whiteside would ultimately never serve time, despite having shot Sudderth to tatters, mostly in the back.

Lynn Porter, the mother of Sudderth’s daughter Amber, said she’s working on forgiveness but will be keeping an eye on the parole board (something she already knows too much about, as the victim of a violent home invasion and rape in 1998).

“I’ve reached a certain kind of peace,” she said.

Republicans shine at fundraiser Republicans rule. You knew it when you read eight featured speakers on the program at the Union County Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner. Thank goodness for the roast beef and mashed potatoes from Anderson Farms Catering from Corryton.

On a night of much bull, Anderson’s was the best.

It’s hard to hear eight honorable speakers without rating them. So here is one Republican’s take on Keaton (stellar singer Keaton Roach) and the Eight White Guys.

Best wit: Tim Burchett.

Slinging “d a d g u m mits” dare we say liberally, Burchett drew heavy applause by calling for an elected Burchett schools superintendent and a voucher for veterans to choose their doctor (rather than travel to VA hospitals for treatment). He railed against a Congress that “campaigns against welfare but goes to Washington and votes for corporate welfare.”

There will never be enough money for government. “Dadgummit, don’t give the government any more money. People say, ‘Tim, don’t you want us to pay our taxes?’ And I say, ‘yes.’ The Bible says to render unto Caesar, but I say don’t give Caesar a penny extra. Just what he needs.”

Sandra Clark

Burchett said the Republicans need to find a presidential nominee like Ronald Reagan: “He won because he stood for something.”

Tough on crime: Jared Effler. The newly elected attorney general told the partisan crowd that he’s kept two campaign promises.

He’s ended plea-bargaining for makers of methamphetamines and he’s opened a full-time office with a professional staff in each of the district’s five counties.

“I’m personally involved in trying every murder case.”

Killer bills: Sen. Frank Niceley discussed his bill to legalize killing wild animals “in self-defense.”

A few years back, Niceley sponsored a bill to legalize horsemeat factories. Now he’s sponsoring a “lifetime gun carry bill,” which basically means what it says. No more pesky renewals.

And he touts the Legislature’s “killing common core,” a national standard of education objectives.

“We made them teach cursive writing and a year of Tennessee history,” he said.

“None of that fits in common core.”

Dilemma dude: That’s got to be U.S. Rep. Chuck

Fleischmann, now starting his third term. He has a problem shared by all whose district includes a federal facility. He rails against big government, while announcing funds for ORNL and the Chickamauga Lock near Chattanooga.

Brevity: Ryan Haynes, the former Knox County legislator who had won election as state GOP chair just days earlier. “We’re Haynes got to start electing people like us,” he said.

“The average guy can’t get ahead in crony capitalism. … It starts with stopping Hillary Clinton (big applause). We must pray for our country, work hard in the next election and make sure you continue to vote.”

Party boy: State Rep. Dennis Powers toes the party line. In less than five minutes he endorsed the Defense of Marriage law and the return of coal mining.

He said legislators are “making UT and all branches of higher education have an event on Veterans Day.” Powers is vice chair of the GOP Caucus. “Of 99 members, 73 are Republicans.”

Homeboy: Andrew Merritt, field rep for Fleischmann, introduced his boss. Merritt is a Union County native and youthful face of the county’s GOP. Banana pudding: It was a good time for dessert when state Rep. Jerry Sexton rose to speak. He won a primary in which massive out-of-state money punished longtime Rep. Dennis “Coach” Roach, who had voted against using tax money for vouchers to private schools.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Jeb Bush is the probable Republican nominee for president. He’s got the name, the money and the nationwide connections. And he’s smarter than George W. ■ Maybe Poppa Bush can dust off Dick Cheney to help.

■ With Hillary Clinton the likely Democratic nominee, get set for a Clinton-Bush rematch.

■ Early prediction: A different outcome for the second Clinton-Bush joust.

■ Bill Dunn reflected the extreme fatigue of legislators recently when he said, “I’m what’s left of Bill Dunn.”

■ Year-round campaigns have arrived. Residents of Dunn’s and Rep. Eddie Smith’s districts received giant post cards from an outfit called Tennesseans for Student Success.

■ Frank Cagle was right. These special interests don’t spend gobs of money because they like kids. Beware!

Catching up with the Rukeysers Two weeks ago having dinner with Joan and our daughter, Martha, at Ichiban Asian Cuisine restaurant on Northshore Drive, I saw longtime friends Bill and Elizabeth Rukeyser dining three tables away (their granddaughter is a server at Ichiban). Elizabeth Rukeyser was commissioner of mental health under Gov. Don Sundquist.

The Rukeysers live on Rudder Lane in West Knox County.

Going over to their table, I learned that Elizabeth, 71, was in Nepal almost in the center of the earthquake on April 25 after having completed a nine-day trek with her daughter Lisa Burn in the Annapurna region.

And what a story she had to tell. She was perhaps the only Knoxvillian to be in Pokhara when the earthquake occurred.

She was having lunch with her guide and family at their home when the earthquake hit and everything started shaking. They immediately ran out of the house, which suffered major cracks in the walls but did not collapse.

She returned to the Baraki Hotel where she had been staying. The aftershocks continued to hit the hotel, and while guests could return to their rooms, during the middle of the night they exited to sleep in tents on the lawn of the hotel due to aftershocks.

In fact, the water in the swimming pool continued to roll back and forth long after the above-ground shocks had ended.

Rukeyser is an avid trekker having done 13 treks over many years in Nepal.

Her immediate issues were to e-mail her husband to let him know she was safe and then to get to Kathmandu to catch her scheduled flight out on Dragon Air to Hong Kong on April 30. She was able to e-mail Bill successfully during the 15 minutes that Internet connections continued in Pokhara before being cut off.

It was uncertain if the road from Pokhara to Kathmandu was open, as flights had been canceled and a bus had run off the road, killing several passengers.

Her guide found her a driver, and on April 29 they set out to Kathmandu for a seven-hour drive to the Shangri-La Hotel, which was open but operating without a kitchen and serving meals of rice and beans when they arrived safely.

Victor Ashe

The next challenge was to determine if Dragon Air was operating. Fortunately, the airline had continued its flights and her flight on April 30 left with her confirmed seat honored. She arrived the next morning in Hong Kong where she stayed a few days before flying to New York where she met her husband.

Rukeyser is planning to return to Nepal in November for her 14th trek. She is an intrepid and fearless traveler who is easily admired.

■ Bob Coker, director of E-911, may not be long for 911 employment as Mayor Madeline Rogero expressed her “surprise” over personnel issues. That is code for either “I am less than pleased” or “I don’t know what is going on here.” Rogero can influence four votes on the board: herself, her police and fire chiefs and Brad Anders, who is a city police officer and County Commission chair. He has already voiced criticism of Coker.

Rogero is determined to attend 911 meetings faithfully now and speak whenever she can. If Coker departs, Rogero can play a role in picking the new director as she did with MPC. Will the process be public or closed as MPC was?

■ The departure of Mark Cate as chief of staff to Gov. Haslam is not a total surprise as the job is an exhausting one and Cate’s relations with the Legislature have been rocky of late. Haslam can now retool and start afresh with legislative relations.

■ Council member Marshall Stair is having a kickoff reception for his re-election campaign 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 18, at the home of his brother, Caesar Stair IV, and Megan Stair at 131 E. Scott St. Public invited.

■ Margie Nichols says UT will soon replace the missing Peyton Manning Pass street signs at Phillip Fulmer Drive and Volunteer Boulevard.

Nichols says the new signs will have tamperproof bolts to make their removal more difficult. Peyton Manning Pass is now a UT street.

Saying

goodbye

to another great year!

By Danielle Taylor As we close our books on another incredible school year, our year-end events were full of fun, laughter, great memories, and maybe a few tears.

Graduation GCA congratulates our eleventh graduating class, featuring 21 “lifers” who have been with us since Pre-K or Kindergarten and 54% of our graduates who received honors of cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude!

We especially want to commend our senior class Valedictorian, Caleb Conner, and Salutatorian, Jennifer Edwards, for their distinguished honors. Our students and families have created a school where excellence matters, where each person’s God-given potential is prized and where Christian leadership is a way

of life and this class was a true reflection of that. We are so proud of each of our students and wish them well in their new endeavors -- wherever God may lead them!

Night of the Arts Each year we gather togeth-

an amazing job leading our faculty, staff, and students. I am extremely excited about her ability to provide sound academic leadership at GCA, and I know she will have an immediate impact on the culture of GCA. Ms. Hinton looks forward to meeting the students and parents over the coming months and will be on campus beginning mid-summer.

We are fortunate to have her join the team!

er for one night to applaud the excellence in our fine arts programs here at GCA! From artists, to photographers, to graphic designers, to musicians, there is no shortage of talent on campus. Our Middle School Select Ensemble, Upper School Choral Ensemble, worship bands, instrumental band, and theatre groups entertain the parents while various yearlong artworks are displayed around the school, allowing everyone to view at their leisure throughout the evening. We give many thanks to our fine arts instructors for an incredible evening celebrating the Arts.

Field Day This year’s lower school dog-themed Field Day was appropriately titled, “Who Let the Dogs Out?” This funfilled day, organized by our very own K-8th Physical Education teacher, Tanna Storie, included an opening skit, a live dog show, demonstrations from Sheriff K9 Dogs, a visit from the Karns Fire Department, and several competitive events for the students.

faith The third of June Hazael asked, “Why does my lord weep?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the people of Israel; you will set their fortresses on fire, you will kill their young men with the sword, dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their pregnant women.”

(II Kings 8: 12 NRSV) “It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day….” (“Ode to Billie Joe,” Bobbie Gentry)

Joining him are Alan Solomon; Darryl Starnes Sr. and Michael Frencher, bishops of the AME Zion Church; Renee Kesler, minister and head of the

By Bill Dockery Bishops, church members, city officials and history buffs gathered last Tuesday on an East Knoxville hillside to unveil a marker locating the site of the first African-American church in Knoxville.

Warner Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was built in 1845 on a site now at 1021 Fuller St. in East Knoxville near McConnell Street.

It was the location of the first school for African-Americans in East Knoxville and was reportedly a stopover on the Underground Railroad that helped blacks flee slavery before the Civil War. The church, now known as Greater Warner Tabernacle AME Zion Church, is in Burlington on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.

Dan Brown, Knoxville’s first black mayor, who now

serves on City Council, welcomed the audience to the ceremonies.

Brown was a part of the group that first proposed the monument in 2007, and he expressed gratitude that the Tennessee Historical Commission had authorized the placement of the marker. The Tennessee Civil War Heritage Partnership Project gave an early grant to the group for a project titled “Building Knoxville Anew: AfricanAmerican Churches and Reconstruction Legacies.”

The site is slated to become part of a larger project known as the Freedom Garden, which will link the Beck Cultural Exchange Center and Haley Heritage Square to the Warner site.

The Beck Center is working with area black churches, the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum and the East Tennessee Historical Society, as well as vari-

First African-American Church On this site stood Warner Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the first African-American church in Knoxville, Tenn., and the site of the first school for African-Americans in East Knoxville. Founded in 1845, it was reported to be a stop on the Underground Railroad to freedom. The site of the church moved a number of times. In 1987 the congregation moved to a church building at 3800 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. ous departments at the University of Tennessee.

Habitat for Humanity, which had purchased the property, deeded it and an adjacent lot to the AME Zion denomination.

Darryl Starnes Sr., presiding bishop of the AME Zion’s Tennessee Conference, reminded the crowd that the denomination has been known as the Freedom Church because black abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth were members.

There is a generation of us who think of this song every year when the “third of June” rolls around.

A ballad is a narrative composition in verse; in other words, a simple song that tells a story.

“Ode to Billie Joe” is provocative because of what it didn’t tell. One thing it didn’t tell was the name of the narrator!

Even so, those of us who were listening to the radio in those days are pretty sure we know what the narrator of the ballad and Billie Joe MacAllister were throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

It is the nature of ballads to tell only snatches of stories. A ballad is not, after all, a novel. There are fragments given – pieces of information – that leave some element of mystery to provoke curiosity and give the listener license to fill in the

blanks.

There are stories like that in the Bible as well: stories that leave us scanning the edges of the printed page, hoping for more details. We want more explanations, more information and more material!

We should, instead, be grateful to those scribes who wrote down our sacred texts, using quills and precious ink and sheepskin to record the stories they knew and believed to be important – no, critical! – to our knowledge of God’s history and activity and purposes in our world.

school lined the track to watch as the third-graders marched around, showing their creativity in costume designs. The parade is a highlight of the school year for participants and spectators.

Sergio Silva dressed as a car during Powell Elementary’s vocabulary parade Landon Godfrey created a robot outfit to wear in the parade.

It was an event that only Patti Smith could have concocted; but it was fun and a treat for other patrons at Bravo’s on Bearden Hill.

Smith’s grandson, Army Sgt. Seth D. Smith, will deploy to Iraq for nine months on June 12. He dropped

by Knoxville briefly to celebrate his birthday and say goodbye to friends.

Two of those friends were Abby Parrott and Ally Stormer, recent high school graduates.

So Patti pulled Abby and Ally and Seth together for lunch. Seth looked stunning in his dress uniform as he presented flowers to both young women.

Abby Parrott just graduated from Grace Academy.

Her mom is Chris Parrott, marketing manager for Regions Bank in Knoxville, and her dad is Todd Parrott. They live in Powell. Todd, Chris, Abby and Patti Smith have women’s basketball tickets together.

Chris met Patti as her middle school gym teacher and they’ve been friends ever since.

Ally Stormer is a recent Karns High School gradu-

ate. Her mom is Keela Buckley, Patti Smith’s banker for many years. They live in the Cedar Bluff area, and Ally works at Texas Road House in Turkey Creek.

“Instead of buying each of the girls a bracelet for graduation I thought the mothers would enjoy sitting with their daughters at a nice lunch,” Smith said.

“Then I found out Seth was coming home on leave and just thought him delivering flowers would be fun for everybody. The mothers know but the girls don’t.”

Seth Smith is in the Army’s 82nd Airborne division out of Ft. Bragg, N.C. He lived in Knoxville while attending Anderson County and Central high schools.

After military work in food services, he is now a food operations NCO. His military education includes Combat Life Saver Course, Combatives Level 1, Airborne School and Lean Six-Sigma Green Belt Course. He is currently attending American Military University working toward a bachelor’s degree in sports and health science with a concentration in exercise science.

Duggan bids farewell Kathy Duggan began her career with Knox County Schools 36 years ago. She was a supply teacher/substitute in the (then) Knoxville City Schools system and worked at Perkins Elementary and Lonsdale Elementary. Perkins Elementary was named after Duggan’s husband’s great-grandmother, Angie W. Perkins, who was the first woman south of Ohio to sit on the school board.

Duggan taught a split classroom – first and second grades – at Green Elementary and then moved to teaching first grade. She then was transferred to West Hills, where she taught for 14 years. After being in the classroom for 21 years, she went to Green as a curriculum generalist.

Her career path took her to Christenberry Elementary and then as an assistant principal at Spring Hill.

Following that she moved to Powell Elementary as an assistant under Vicki Violette before being named

principal at Adrian Burnett, where she served eight years. Her final transfer was to West Haven Elementary, where she served as principal for two years.

She has always wanted to change the world, even as a young girl, and that is why she went into teaching.

Duggan comes from a family of hard workers and high achievers, and she believes that through good decisions and hard work, everyone has a chance. “I am a believer in dreams and believe that anyone can achieve their dreams with support and guidance.”

As the door on this chapter closes, Duggan plans to spend her time traveling, gardening and enjoying her first grandchild. She will miss the children the most but hopes they always remember to never give up even when things might be West Haven Elementary principal Kathy Duggan with a painting of the school by teacher Brenda Sage Photo by R.

State ranks high in exports

By Bonny C. Millard One out of every five jobs in Tennessee is linked to trade, ranking the state 16th in the nation, U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn said.

Blackburn, who represents the 7th Congressional District, spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville while she was in town visiting TVA and other locations.

Blackburn is the vice chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

“We have a very hefty trade economy,” she said, including the top exports of medical equipment, motor vehicle parts and automobiles.

Tennessee has other important exports such as entertainment and intellectual properties through companies such as Scripps Network Interactive and Jewelry TV, both headquartered here, and agricultural products.

Almost 829, 500 jobs statewide and 11.1 percent of the state’s GNP come from trade, she said.

Blackburn addressed the Trade Promotion Authority and said the House is working to “slow track” trade agreements, which would require congressional ap-

Side by side

By Carol Shane

Richard Jolley. Tommie Rush. Peter Rose. These artists are widely known local luminaries in visual art and pottery, and lately they’ve been very busy gearing up for a show.

But this time their work will be shown alongside that of some extraordinary young artists. Kids who’ve been apprenticing with these masters for months.

It’s all part of the Community School of the Arts’ annual Side-By-Side exhibition and auction, in partnership with Bennett Galleries.

CSA’s executive director, Jennifer Willard, is herself a visual artist specializing in mixed media. Every year at this time she and her staff are hanging and labeling the art and taking care of a thousand-and-one details in preparation for Friday night’s auction, which is the school’s biggest fundraiser.

“We are so grateful to the visual artists in our com-

munity who have mentored CSA students and made long-term commitments to our program,” she says.

“They are not only amazingly talented artists but also gifted teachers who have shown again and again that they can make a difference in the lives of their students.”

This year there’s more excitement than usual. The Community School of the Arts’ Side-By-Side Visual Arts Apprentice Program has been chosen for recognition as a 2015 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Finalist by the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities and its partner agencies – the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

“We reviewed 335 nominations from 50 states and the District of Columbia,” wrote the four group leaders to Willard. “Your program’s

selection as one of 50 finalists distinguishes it as one of the top arts- and humanities-based programs in the country.”

A national jury is reviewing Side-By-Side’s application for one of the awards, and the result will be announced this month.

“If we win, I’m going to the White House myself!”

Willard declares, laughing.

CSA’s Side-By-Side Visual Arts Apprentice Program is in its 16th year. Students who qualify – they must be in grades 5-12 and have a minimum of two years of classroom instruction in visual arts at the school – are paired with professional artists in their studios for a period of four to six months each year. The kids have the opportunity to witness, participate in and experience firsthand every aspect of the creative process under professional tutelage. In many cases, these pairings result in long-term working partnerships over the course of several years.

Much forethought goes into these pairings. Among the considerations are: degree of difficulty of each medium; age, experience

and interests of the student; and personality, family situation, special educational and/or behavioral needs of the student.

Apprenticeships culminate each year in a full-scale art exhibition, where student and professional works are displayed – yes, side by side – at Bennett Galleries and Company, 5308 Kingston Pike. On the show’s final night, the works are auctioned off and the proceeds go to benefit the school.

In addition to the artists already mentioned, works by Bill Capshaw, Tina Curry, Don Dudenbostel, Susana Esrequis, Marcia Goldenstein, Ashton Ludden, Chris McAdoo, Robin Surber, Cynthia Tollefsrud and their apprentices will be available for viewing and purchasing.

Bennett Galleries and the Community School of the Arts present Side-by-Side, June 1-5, with reception and silent auction this Friday night from 5 to 8 p.m.

A-12 • JUNE 3, 2015 • POWELL/NORWOOD Shopper news It ultimately involved over 3 million young men, aged 18 to 25, some 500,000 serving at any one time.

Those enrollees, as they were called, were organized into more than 2,500 camps of around 200 men each, spread across the country in 48 states and territories. They were supervised by army officers, and their work organized by an array of surveyors, engineers and landscape architects.

The men were paid $30 a month – the “Dollar-ADay Army,” as they were called. They got $5 a month to spend, and the remaining $25 each month went directly home to their families.

With the average income of a western North Carolina farm family running at $86 for a whole year, the CCC money their young man earned meant food on the table, shoes for the younger siblings, easing of the misery.

Right place, right time NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Around these parts most folks who know about our Great Smoky Mountain National Park are familiar with the tremendous role the Civilian Conservation Corps played in its development.

Some 4,000 young men showed up just as the Park was authorized for development. Living in 17 army-supervised camps, they built the infrastructure- roads, bridges, buildings, trails.

They literally made the Park what it is today. They were in the right place at the right time, both for them,

and now 80 years later, for us as we use the park in the present day.

A recent April birding trip to Illinois and Kentucky caused Spouse and me to realize that the Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, had a far wider impact than we had ever appreciated. It so happened that we encountered state parks in each state that had CCC written all over them; both added much to our travels.

But first, a bit of history.

The stock market had crashed in October 1929,

and by 1933, millions were unemployed, tens of thousands of farms were foreclosed, people were starving.

Our nation was in a bad way, nowhere worse than here in the Southeast. Abject poverty and hopelessness stalked the land. In April of 1933, President Roosevelt signed into being the Civilian Conservation Corps. Called a “miracle of cooperation,” it succeeded because of a remarkable degree of coordination among four different Departments: War, Interior, Agriculture and Labor.

woods, trails, wildflowers, and, of course, lots of birds.

But the centerpiece of the park is a mansion-like building, complete with a medieval-style, three-story tower, built – you guessed it – by the CCC, finished in 1940.

That really neat building is now a museum and houses the largest collection of Audubon material found anywhere.

It has a diorama of Audubon in his study, working on a painting, surrounded by all sorts of collected critters.

There are lots of various non-bird pieces of artwork, as well as photos, maps and letters. But most especially, there are all four volumes of the original, huge, elephantfolio-sized Birds of America, each one open for you to see, along with some of the original copper engraving plates. Even a non-birder might be impressed with the estimated value of the big books – around $12 million each. As if they would ever sell them. It is a remarkable small museum, all the more interesting because of the origin of the structure itself and its history.

For us here in East Tennessee? The above-mentioned Davis book categorizes the Great Smokies as a “Destination Park” and its photographs include one of the beautiful stone 4-arch Elkmont bridge under construction, as well as one of the then newly-completed Mt. Cammerer fire tower.

We don’t have to go far to see some of the best examples of CCC work anywhere.

The CCC came to an abrupt end in 1942, with the start of World War II. But in its nine years, the CCC worked across the nation, in 71 national parks, 405 state parks and hundreds of other developing areas. They reclaimed lost land and planted three billion trees. They built hundreds of miles of roads, hundreds of bridges and buildings, hundreds of miles of trails.

No wonder we keep running into signs of their having been in so many places!

Sturdy reminders of tough times, being overcome by hard work. They were certainly there at the right time, in a lot of great places, for those young men, and for us still today.

Many of the enrollees learned skills such as heavy machinery, carpentry and stonemasonry, surveying and landscaping. 100,000 of them were illiterate when they signed up; they were taught to read and write.

Those three million men were indeed in the right place at the right time.

The purpose of our spring road trip, in addition to general enjoyment, was to see how many species of birds we could find in Illinois and Kentucky. We’ve found that the best places to start exploring a new state for birds are its state parks – they are generally great natural areas, with woods, fields and a lake or stream, and lots of local birds.

And so in southern Illinois, we came upon a place called Giant City State Park.

While birding in the park, amid its woods and geological wonders, we were given a valuable tip by a friendly school bus driver, waiting with her big bus for a load of high school science kids to return from a hike. “Be sure to eat at the Lodge,” she advised.

Being that it was around noon, and far from anyplace else, we took her advice and sought out the Lodge. It was a huge cavernous stately place, two stories of stone and logs, with a massive fireplace sporting an elk head full of antlers and a fullsized stuffed bison standing in the lobby. And wouldn’t you know – it was “all-theaward-winning-fried-chicken-you-can-eat-day.”

With all the trimmings.

Mercy. But about the Lodge – it had been built by the local CCC camp in 1935-1936.

And it’s still solid, beautiful, in regular daily service. It was one of those places that you just want to stand and stare at. I purchased an excellent book at their gift shop

by Ren and Helen Davis entitled “Our Mark on This Land,” a detailed history of the whole CCC program.

Some facts for this column were extracted from it.

Then the high point of our trip – a two-day visit to the John James Audubon State Park in Henderson, Ky. Audubon lived and worked there for a while, less than a mile from the banks of the Ohio River. The park has
