By Shannon Carey It all started with a thought and a bologna sandwich.

At least, that’s how Rick Carnes of Clinton Highway Wrecker Service told it. Carnes, Dr. Donald Wegener of Powell Chiropractic and Gary Cunningham of Frontier Communications, all leaders in the early days of the Powell Business and Professional Association, spoke to the PBPA on Sept. 11, sharing their experiences of getting the PBPA off the ground.

Their presentation is the first in a yearlong series celebrating the 30th

anniversary of the PBPA. Carnes said the “thought” began long before the PBPA’s official start date of September 1982. Carnes, Ralph Teague, Andy Anderson and others would get together over bologna sandwiches at Teague Hardware and discuss ways to get done what needed doing.

“That was the seed that was planted, was that bologna sandwich,” Carnes said.

The PBPA later moved to the Catfish Cabin for meetings and now meets at Jubilee Banquet Facility.

Man and Woman of the Year committee since 1984, said for him, the PBPA is about relationships. He became a PBPA member in 1983, and he was impressed by the group’s recognition of community members.

That year, the honorees were Powell Middle School teacher June Goforth and J.D. Jett of Weigel’s, who Wegener called “two great people.”

“Recognizing people who where instrumental in the Powell commu-

nity, that’s one of the things that we as a club ought to be proud of,” he said.

Thirtieth anniversary committee chair Daniel Monday said the group will hold similar panels throughout the year, inviting past presidents and officeholders to speak to the current membership.

The PBPA meets at noon every second Tuesday at Jubilee Banquet Facility on Callahan Drive.

Two from EPA tour Beaver Creek

By Sandra Clark Beaver Creek is coming back.

“We’re seeing improvement,” said Roy Arthur, watershed coordinator for Knox County and resident of Powell.

“We started the restoration five years ago with a 15-year plan. We should see real progress in another five years.”

Arthur hosted the annual meeting of the Beaver Creek Task Force last week at the Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Some 50 individuals including two from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Atlanta attended.

Vivian Doyle, Tennessee watershed coordinator for EPA Region 4, is very familiar with what we’re doing and is supportive, Arthur said.

HPUD president Darren Cardwell spoke about ways the utility has improved water quality, primarily through construction of a new wastewater treatment plant on Beaver Creek.

Cardwell said in 2000, the district lost more than 40 percent of treated water through leaks. Last year’s water audit showed a loss of 26 percent.

In 2000, HPUD had 120 miles of galvanized water lines. “Today we’ve cut that number by 75 percent,” he said.

Cardwell said without the insta-

lation of 20- and 24-inch water lines on Emory Road the construction of Tennova North and its affiliated businesses would not have been possible.

The task force Roy Arthur toured five facilities: HPUD’s new headquarters, Arthur’s stream restoration project at the Halls Comunity Park, the Halls Outdoor Classroom, the BrickeyMcCloud stormwater wetland which HPUD built to filter runoff from school property, and the Powell Station Park Rain Garden.

Is there hope that Beaver Creek can get off the state’s list of impaired streams?

Absolutely, said Arthur.

Already a tributary, Cox Creek which feeds into Beaver Creek near Mill Run subdivision in Halls, has been “delisted.” A segment of Bull Run Creek has been delisted as well after improvements to nearby farms kept waste out of the creek.

The Beaver Creek Task Force is a consortium of businesses and agencies that which meet occasionally to catch up.

Arthur said three big projects are ahead:

■ Knox County will be repairing 1,200 feet of stream near Cox Creek between Brown Gap and Crippen roads in Halls.

■ Knox County and a homeowners association are collaborating to alleviate flooding at Cedar Crossing subdivision and the Villas at Cedar Crossing. The design bid closed Sept. 14 and the design should be finished in six weeks, Arthur said.

The county will install a bioretention facility on the community’s common area that will capture the first inch of rainfall.

The homeowners association will install a pavilion and lighting, he said. “They are creating their own mini-park.”

Additionally, the county contracted with Dr. Andrea Ludwick of UT’s bio-system engineering and soil science department to collect rainfall.

■ The third project is at Karns in the Painter Farm subdivision where Knox County is working with the Legacy Parks Foundation to develop a stormwater demonstration site on 11 acres.

“Now all the runoff goes straight into Beaver Creek,” Arthur said.

“We’ll start grading and stabilizing that site next month. When finished it will resemble what HPUD did at Brickey-McCloud.”

Coffee Break with

Ed Smith

Ed Smith has lived in Broadacres for a long time.

The retired employee of Associated Press says he will continue as president of the Broadacres Homeowners Association until he reaches the membership plateau that means he’s leaving the group better than he found it.

Ed likes his old brown truck, saying he bought it used and in mint condition. After a few weeks, he had dented the hood, busted a taillight and been rearended. “It still runs great,” he said.

He got that Bill Haslam window sticker after he walked the gubernatorial candidate through Broadacres. He recalls getting up really early to meet Haslam. As he left, wife Vicki said, “Do not bring that man here.”

Of course, the first stop was Ed’s own house. He hid behind a shrub as a surprised Vicki opened the door to confront the future governor.

Ed and Vicki landscape the entrances to Broadacres.

Both are all-around good neighbors.

Ed has survived brain surgery. He is also a longtime employee at the Knox County Clerk’s office.

He’s a longtime Powell community activist and is an enthusiastic supporter of U.S. Rep. John Duncan.

Help victims of violence

Hill calls service on HPUD board ‘great honor’

By Sandra Clark Jim Hill made a few remarks before he leaves the board of the Hallsdale Powell Utility District where he has served since 1974.

Mayor Tim Burchett rejected HPUD’s three nominees, forcing the utility to submit another list of three.

Lawyer Bud Gilbert told the HPUD commissioners Burchett can select a commissioner off the next list or can again reject the nominees. To prevent a stale-

mate, state law requires the county mayor to select from a possible third list of nominees or the top name on that list automatically gets a four-year term.

Interested persons should contact CEO Darren Cardwell to obtain an application. The existing commissioners will evaluate nominees and select a list of three. Commissioners earn $350 per month.

Hill called the commissioner’s job “thankless,” but

said it was a great honor to have served. He said HPUD has “topnotch people doing a fabulous job.”

Jim Hill He paid tribute to former managers Allan Gill and Marvin Hammond and “all the commissioners with whom I’ve served.”

Hill called for a review of the district’s pension plan, “a fair salary scale,” and a look at staff training and professional development. He suggested a rate review to “give a break” to seniors and people on fixed incomes and said a merger with another utility might lead to shared costs and savings.

In August, HPUD set 27 water meters and inspected 20 sewer hookups. The district treated 247.9 mil-

lion gallons of water and 175.7 million gallons of wastewater.

Last Monday, commissioners OK’d a final payment of $74,061 to Merit Construction for basin repairs at the Melton Hill Water Treatment Plant and set the next meeting for 1:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8.

CEO Darren Cardwell said more than 300 people had applied for two jobs in customer service.

Recovering art

By Cindy Taylor Clay Worthley, aka Papa Clay, uses items that others no longer consider valuable to make one-of-a-kind necklaces. But he says his handmade jewelry is more than an expression of his craft. As a recovering alcoholic, Worthley says his life has been repurposed, just like the jewelry he designs.

DOWN-home UPdate “Art helped me clean up my life. I have been clean and sober for 12 years now,” he said. “I want to give back to the community, so I chair A A meetings and donate my jewelry whenever anyone needs it for a fundraiser.”

Worthley comes from a long line of musicians, artists and entertainers but started creating his own art about a year ago.

He says his “Unity” necklaces were never meant

to be anything other than a way to keep his hands busy and keep him out of trouble. He and wife Deborah, who Worthley says is his rock, were visiting the Arts Co-op when owner Susan Boone invited him to place his necklaces there to sell.

“I find old jewelry at flea markets and estate sales for cheap, take it apart, clean it up and give it new life,” he said. “It’s not about making a profit. I like helping other people when they need something.”

Worthley enjoys his art but he also loves playing guitar and singing. He can often be found picking and singing with friends on the front porch of the Arts Co-op. Even though he has been plagued by health is- A close up of one of Worthsues, he says moving to ley’s repurposed necklaces.

government Thanks, guys!

When Democratic legislative candidate Gloria Johnson files her next financial disclosure report, she might list the Republican controlled Knox County Election Commission as an “in kind donation” for “campaign publicity and exposure with high value.”

Why? The closure of the Belle Morris voting precinct, in the heart of state House District 13, has been a political gift which keeps on giving. It has kept Johnson’s name before the public all summer and all without her spending a dime.

Johnson’s name and photo appear in articles and on television. This has been going on since summer.

Meanwhile, her Republican opponent, Gary Loe, has been as quiet as a church mouse. While Loe had nothing to do with the decision to close the voting site, he has not voiced a word in opposition to it either.

The five members of the Knox County Election Commission are all politically appointed. In reality the Knox state legislators of both parties recommend the Democrats and Republicans to serve. Since the GOP controls the legislature they also control each of the county election commissions. Attorney Chris Heagerty serves as chair.

Personally, I do not think the EC closed Belle Morris as a partisan gesture. In fact, Democrat Cassandra Stuart voted at first with the Republicans to close the precinct at the recommendation of Cliff Rodgers, administrator of elections.

She has since learned from local Democrats that she needs to support keeping Belle Morris open as a voting site.

However, it is clear the election staff and GOP commissioners never seriously considered the political consequences of their action. Had they done so, surely they would have postponed this controversial decision to 2013. They never considered that the Democratic party chair, Gloria Johnson, lived there and would make it a public issue, along with former County Commissioner Mark Harmon. Both know a good news story and how to work it. Even the Knox County Commission debated this.

The Johnson-Loe contest is considered close. The seat is now held by Democrat Harry Tindell. As few as 500 votes out of 10,000 votes cast could separate the winner from the loser.

Independent Nick Cazana is on the ballot, too.

Victor Ashe

The closure has surely stirred up a hornet’s nest.

While few who live outside the former Belle Morris precinct may care about its closure, it has generated countywide attention. Belle Morris has always been a bellwether ward. It could go Democratic or Republican.

This November, voter turnout will be high and voters normally accustomed to voting at Belle Morris may resent having to go elsewhere to vote.

Not only has Johnson gotten free media, she has been seen as a champion of transparency for the Election Commission which meets inconveniently at 8 a.m. most times. The commission never met in the area to seek public input.

And a recent public meeting resulted in heated personal words between commissioners and Harmon.

Since the stated reason for closing Belle Morris was lack of access for the disabled, that has triggered articles on the disabled voting in Knoxville and once again Johnson is mentioned. The most recent story focused on highly popular and respected Appeals Judge Charles Susano and how he votes with his disability.

Of course, there are other issues which the winner will actually vote on in Nashville such as taxes, schools, vouchers, parks, transportation and greenways not to mention local government mandates and health care.

These issues have been sidetracked. Perhaps in the next four weeks leading up to early voting, they will surface – perhaps in a debate at Belle Morris School.

If Johnson wins, a thank you note should go to the Election Commission.

Cell towers win at MPC Two more wireless communications towers will be built in North Knox following action by the Metropolitan Planning Commission last week. Objecting neighbors have 15 days to appeal to City Council, but it’s unlikely the MPC decision will be overturned.

That’s because, as MPC Deputy Director Buz Johnson said, “We have very little wiggle room.”

He said Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines limit local restrictions on cell tower locations.

That did not stop Bob Wolfenbarger and the Alice Bell Spring Hill Homeowners Association from opposing a 150-foot monopole

By Anne Hart Longtime party activist Ruthie Kuhlman is president of West Knox Republican Club, replacing Gary Loe, a candidate for the state House in District 13.

Loe had resigned the position, saying that he is working to represent all residents of the 13th District and feels it is inappropriate for him to remain as chair of a purely partisan organization.

Loe’s opponents in the general election are Gloria Johnson, chair of the Knox County Democratic Party, and independent Nick Cazana.

State GOP chair Chris Devaney said the major goals of the state party this year are to re-elect U.S. Sen. Bob Corker and U.S.

On Monday, Sept. 24, County Commissioner Richard Briggs will be bringing a billboard ban back to his colleagues.

It’s no secret that Briggs doesn’t care for billboards, especially the ones with blinky lights that stand close to neighborhoods. He started working to regulate them almost as soon as he took office in 2008, and wanted to ban any new billboards in order to bring the county in step with the city, which enacted a moratorium in 2001. He said he has had many constituent requests for the measure.

“In 2008, I had a resolution for a moratorium on permits for new billboards,” he said. “It was a ban on conversion of existing billboards to digital billboards. I think there are six (of the digital bill-

Betty Bean

boards) in Knox County.”

Four years later, he doesn’t stint on colorful language to describe his feelings about billboards.

“There’s that big one along the interstate at Crossville. You can see it flashing three miles away.

Can you imagine living anywhere near that? I personally find digital billboards the most obnoxious,” he said.

“We already have so many billboards close to neighborhoods and they project so much light, for such a distance. They produce a kaleidoscope of lights flashing across your

But that’s not the only problem that bothers Dr. Briggs.

Safety is as big an issue as aesthetics, he said. EMCs and digital billboards are distracting to passing motorists.

“I think we have enough driving distractions already with cellphones, etc.,” he said.

So on Sept. 24, Briggs will bring another ban to his commission colleagues.

This one will be more comprehensive, and he plans to do it in three separate measures: one to ban all new billboards in Knox County; another to prohibit conversions of traditional billboards to digital billboards;

the other to ban all electronic message centers (EMCs).

Last February, the Metropolitan Planning Commission presented a billboard ban to County Commission that would prohibit new outdoor advertising not attached to buildings and grandfather in existing billboards.

County Commission was preparing to enter a difficult round of budget hearings and voted to defer the MPC proposal.

Briggs is concerned that there might be some procedural difficulties reconciling his proposal with the MPC plan.

“I wish they would just withdraw their plan,” he said.

Expect to see billboard companies in full force to keep their industry alive and moving toward digital technology.

And be prepared for a long day at County Commission.

ood friend Carl, impressed by the possibilities of Tennessee playmakers, said wouldn’t it have been something if Da’Rick had been a boy scout and Janzen Jackson had run away from trouble.

Sad that two all-Americans were wasted. Oh, the things that might have been.

Rearranging history is a splendid idea. Let’s waste four minutes playing “what if?�

What if Justin Hunter and Tyler Bray had not been injured last season? Indeed, they and Jackson might have saved a game or three.

Last year would not have been this year but the hole would not have been quite so deep.

You can take “what if?� and “might have been� anywhere you want to go, all the way back to the second beginning.

What if Captain Robert Reese Neyland, 33, too tall in the spring of 1925 for his little grey desk at the U.S. Military Academy, had remained on duty and surrendered his idea of applying military tactics to football?

What if he had been less logical in seeking employment? He had heard about comparable openings. He studied a map and concluded that Iowa was probably surrounded by corn and cows.

There might be people scattered around East Tennessee.

He had seen some Volunteer hillbillies two years earlier. They came to West Point. They brought their own barrel of home-grown apples as snacks. They lost, 41-0.

Neyland suspected Tennessee had no way to go but up.

What would have happened if Bowden Wyatt had mothballed the single-wing, installed the T formation and successfully recruited quarterbacks Steve Spurrier from Johnson City and Steve Sloan from Cleveland?

“I don’t think much in terms of forgiveness,� my friend said.

I was stunned. I had been the one asking for the forgiveness and doing so in earnest. To have it brushed aside was a shock. To have it, in essence, refused was unimaginable to me.

How does the world go on if we don’t ask and receive (as well as be asked for and grant) forgiveness?

There is a humility required to ask for forgiveness. One has to be prepared to say, “I was wrong.

I should not have said [or done or allowed or thought] that.�

The concept of forgiveness runs throughout the Prophets and the Gospels and Epistles.

I wondered, though, where in the Bible the concept first appeared.

Turns out, we get all the way to the last chapter of Genesis before the word “forgive� appears.

The scene features Joseph, now prime minister of Egypt, and his miserable brothers who sold him into slavery because of their jealousy. Their father Jacob is dead, and the brothers realize that now there is no one standing between them and their powerful brother, who surely must hold a monumental grudge for the way they planned first to murder him and then settled for selling him to some passing Egyptians and lying to their father about it.

It is here that the broth-

ers tell Joseph that Jacob had sent word before his death that he (Joseph) should forgive his brothers the wrongs they committed against him. We are left in the dark, just as Joseph is, as to the truthfulness of this claim. The Bible does not record that Jacob actually said such a thing.

But Joseph is a better man than his brothers, and declines to be their judge and jury. “Don’t be afraid,� he reassures them. “Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.�

The “take-away lessons� from this story are several: Sometimes scoundrels get away with it.

Forgiveness is a healthy thing.

God is God and we are not.

The other thing I can’t help noticing is that God can take a horrible situation and redeem it. When humans mess up God’s plans, God’s order, God can find a way to turn it to good. God did it then, and God now works at it every day.

The Rev. Bradford DeMarcus was the first church pastor, serving 1849-1899.

“It’s remarkable that one man would serve that many years

in one church,” said West.

Michael Parsley is the current pastor. He explained that it is the ancestors of those attending the celebration who set the foundations for the church and community. Many are buried in the cemetery nearby. The land for the cemetery and church

were donated by Samuel Williams, the great-great-greatgrandfather of church member Les Williams.

Children may add a message or drawing to the downloadable card and present it to their carrier. Postal workers play a crucial role for Imagination Library by delivering more than

17,000 books each month to Knox County children.

“Imagination Library Week is a special time to bring awareness to the organization and its role in developing essential preliteracy skills,” said Bonny Naugher, who chairs the local Imagination Library board.

Meghann grew up in Halls and Derrick is from the Gibbs/Corryton area.

The couple met at Trinity Chapel and married in December 2006. They hadn’t planned to start a family until five years into their marriage, but after only three years the couple had a change of heart.

We decided that we should trust God and have faith that the timing would be just right,” said Meghann. “I found out I was pregnant in January 2010. We were so excited.”

After an uneventful pregnancy and birth the couple brought home their beautiful baby boy, Elisha Israel, on Sept. 24, 2010.

During the first 24-hour check-up a nurse noticed that Elisha’s breathing was too fast. The family was sent to the ER at Children’s Hospital and Elisha was admitted when the physicians found an abnormality with his heart. This was only the first round of bad news the family would receive in the coming months.

“We went from having a perfectly normal pregnancy and a wonderful birth to a mother’s worst nightmare in a matter of seconds,” said Meghann. “But Elisha smiled and laughed and played like nothing in the world was bothering him.”

Elisha was in the NICU for seven days where doctors discovered other

“We were with Elisha when he took his first breath and we were with him when he breathed his last,” said Meghann.

Through Elisha’s passing the couple says God has used them to lead two family members to Christ and provided several counseling opportunities.

The trip to the fair wouldn’t be complete without enjoying at least one ride. Marian Bailey and Ramona Burum take a spin.

A day at the fair

By Ruth White The cooler temperatures, the smell of fall in the air, the Steve Gould demonstrates the working of Henry Ford’s first sounds of football and the fair.

Just a few things that occur in gasoline engine.

Knox County each September.

I have covered the fair for the Shopper for several years and usually attend on the day that they honor senior adults and special friends.

Honestly, I like to dart in, snap a few photos and head back to the office.

This year, I decided to walk around the fairgrounds and I saw the popular event with a new pair of eyes.

The first stop of the day was at the booth featuring candy apples made by the members at Fairview United Methodist Church. Members have been creating this treat for 60 years, and visiting with Roy Hodge was worth the trip.

Hodge was all smiles as he sold apples for just $1 each. “It’s not about making money,” he said, “it’s about fellowship with friends, meeting people and giving to othWhile at the Tennessee Valley Fair, Nancy Larson creates hats ers.” The money raised is used for mission work through the for newborn infants.

Once my apple was purchased, named Best Apple at the fair for the year 2012, I headed into the Jacob Building to see the displays and chat with vendors.

Inside displays from area schools feature work from students who are skilled in cosmetology, auto mechanics and more.

The photography contest features beautiful pictures taken by individuals of a wide age range and creative eye. Some of my favorite displays were the cake decorating contest, the jellies and jams and the homemade bread entries. The gingham ribbons for the culinary arts entries brought visions of a small town county fair and sweet memories of long ago.

The next stop was the Kerr Building to view home items, including quilts, scrapbooks, flowers and more. First was Nancy Larson, creating hats for newborns. Larson was dressed in a long dress and kicked her feet up and relaxed while creating.

Hanging high above the floor was a quilt with a first place ribbon. That prize winner was made by North Knox resident Lee Hoskins.

In the background were dozens of women making fabric squares and forming a quilt that was sure to become a treasured heirloom.

Behind the Jacob Building was the rabbit and poultry building. This isn’t a place I would usually visit (thanks to my allergies) but the beauty of the old white barn drew me to investigate more closely. The three-

One worker said that the barn was built using the wood from one of the old roller coasters from the early 1900s. Whether there is truth to the tale or not, it made a great story for such a grand structure.

The last stop was at the tractor exhibit up on the hill under the big shade trees.

The tractors take me back to my younger days growing up in Oklahoma, and I love chat-

ting with the people relaxing by their tractors. Some sit and chat with one another while others host demonstrations or whittle the day away.

As I headed back down the midway on my way out, I heard the clacking of one of the rides in the distance. I turned and saw four women laughing and enjoying the day as they went round and round on a smaller coaster. It was evident that they were having the time of their lives and I, for one, will forever see the fair in a new, brighter light.

One spoke in the wheel Porter says staff makes the difference at Powell High

J

By Jake Mabe

im Porter makes it clear quickly.

He’s just one spoke in the wheel at Powell High School.

His job, he says, depends on others – teachers, guidance counselors, staff members, principal Ken Dunlap. Porter says the graduation coach at Powell High is “a jack of all trades” and he calls it a work in progress.

Porter began the role last school year by teaching two recovery credit classes and meeting with students with academic difficulties during the other two class periods. This year, he’s teaching three classes. He works with sophomores, juniors and seniors at the beginning of the school year and starts working with freshmen after their first semester.

“We start as early as we can, identifying students who might need (extra help). Teachers refer students to me and we ask, ‘is this student on track to graduate and, if not, what do we need to do to get them on track?’ And we’ve had some great finds, students who might have fallen through the cracks otherwise.

“Getting them here? That’s over half the battle right there. If they’re not here, we can’t teach them. Our goal is to get them to that diploma.

And we’d love to give it to them here at Powell High School, or if that means them going to the (Kelley Academy) or to the adult high school.

As long as we can keep them thinking about the high school diploma, that’s what I’m after.”

Online courses are sometimes used in the recovery credit classes. They are self-paced programs that include courses required for graduation.

“Last spring, we had a student who had two weeks until deadline for graduation who still hadn’t taken English IV. Working day and night (online), the student got it done.

That student was very much an exception, an above average student to begin with. But, students can take the online classes and work on them at home and in school in recovery credit classes. We also had one student who gained three credits on top of the classes they were taking, so they walked out of the semester with 11 credits instead of eight.”

Something is working. This year, Powell was the only high school in Knox County to be named a Rewards School by Gov. Bill Haslam for being among the top five percent of schools in the state in annual growth.

Porter again gives credit to the entire school staff, saying students receive help from all of them.

Longtime Powell High School drafting teacher Jim Porter is the school’s graduation coach.

“(Powell) is the only school I’ve ever taught at. It’s evolved in different ways, but people (always) embrace not only our traditions but the camaraderie of the school. We’re not afraid to share ideas and help each other out.”

Porter says he visits a lot of classrooms during the course of his day.

“One of Mr. Dunlap’s famous phrases is ‘Go teach like your hair is on fi re.’ Every time I go into a classroom, these teachers are teaching. They care about the students and they care about the fact that we’re trying to get them to graduation. But, with that big goal in mind, they’re also trying to get them to learn. It’s not just about earning a credit, it’s also about learning (the subject).”

Porter says teaching has never and will never be just an eight-hour job.

“You do carry it with you. Teachers bring papers home to grade after they’ve had family time. And you go to bed thinking about it and you wake up thinking about it.”

Joking that he’s willing to steal any good idea, Porter says the school might implement something similar to Carter High School’s Hornet Watch, which tracks the potential graduation rate of each class based on the number of credits each student has earned plus real-time data.

“Carter used it to identify the most at-risk kids in each grade level. It’s just a tool to help us identify where we stand.”

Saying, “We try to build the kids up,” Porter adds that the school also

holds drawings for students with perfect attendance, for example, and gives them various donations from local businesses.

He says if he knew nearly 30 years ago what he knows now, he would have become a guidance counselor.

“There are times when you don’t succeed. But there are great times when you see a student that just blossoms, just comes alive, even if it’s at the last minute, and they make it happen and get through high school.

More likely than not, they continue on with their education.”

And, with that, Jim Porter tries to duck getting his picture taken, says he doesn’t want to be singled out and repeats for the 100th time that he’s but one member of a great staff at Powell High School.

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 • A-11

All good things must end The last time Powell lost a regular season game, most of Powell’s football players were in middle school. Now, three years later, Powell’s regular season win streak of 25 games has been snapped.

A 21-3 loss to the Wild-

Wildcats changed the game.

Momentum shifted after the fake led to a first down and, eventually, an Oak Ridge touchdown. From there, the Wildcats took over and cruised to a 21-3 victory on their home turf.

The mighty Panthers that were 55-12 victors over rival Halls were exposed for the first time in Cory a long time.

Chitwood Powell dropped to 3-1 on the season and 1-1 in district play, with Oak Ridge advancing to the district’s top cats of Oak Ridge gave the spot with a 3-0 overall rePanthers their first district cord and a 2-0 district mark. loss since Oct. 9, 2009, at The Wildcats were ranked Clinton.

No. 7 in 6A rankings.

Powell started with a 3-0 Though the Panthers lost, lead, thanks to a 29-yard the future is far from dim. field goal from Austin Rog- Powell headed back to Scarers. But a fake punt by the bro Stadium to take on the

Callie

Anderson County Mavericks last Friday. It’s a team they’ve beaten two years in a row by a margin of 97-28 in the regular season. Although the results were not known at press time, give the Panthers the mental edge at home in this contest.

Powell will travel up Emory Road to take on the Karns High Beavers this Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Against Oak Ridge, the Panthers gave up 225 yards in rushing – an absolutely staggering statistic for Powell’s usually hardnosed defense. And despite over 225 yards in rushing, two-thirds of Oak Ridge’s points came from passing.

Powell’s defense has been characterized by good play and containment of both

passing and rushing thus far this season.

Volleyball: The Panther volleyball team is looking to get things rolling in district play. The team, currently 0-4 in district matches, has its next district match at home against the Central Bobcats on Sept. 19. The Panthers will host district foe Halls on Sept. 25.

Looking forward, coach Michael Blair believes the team’s issues are minor and very fixable.

“The girls are playing hard; we’re just not getting the finish we would like right now,” said Blair.

Team unity has been a big factor in the team’s lessthan-optimal district play, he said.

“We need to improve on team communication on the court and we will be fine.”

Critter Tales The fall session of the HALT program (Humans and Animals Learning Together) has officially begun. In just a few short weeks, there will be five adorable canines ready to be adopted. The best part is that all five will have been taught some pretty good manners by really cool kids.

HALT matches at-risk adolescents with shelter animals rescued from Young-Williams Animal Center. The selected dogs initially receive vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and a mental and physical evaluation. The student instructors are hand-picked by the staff from local residential treatment centers where they are staying.

According to HALT publicity coordinator Penny Williams, volunteers, along with a canine obedience instructor, help the students teach basic obedience, which in turn teaches the kids assertiveness, patience and communication.

The goal of the program

Steve Wigley with Modern Woodmen talks financial planning with the seniors at the Heiskell Community Center.

Modern Woodmen offers life insurance/annuity products, retirement plans, investment products, banking products and fraternal benefits to members. Said Wigley, “Start talking about financial planning well before your 40’s and 50’s.”

Smart planning and investing will help retirement go more smoothly and individuals won’t outlive their money. The next meeting of the Heiskell seniors will be held Thursday, Oct. 11 and will feature Rural/Metro and CPR instruction for guests. Members are encouraged to bring personal hygiene items to help fill 150 totes that will be distributed to senior adults and students during the holiday season. Items may be brought to the center through November. Photo by Ruth White

“In n Janu January, I decided I did not want my life to continue down wn the th path it was going. I changed my diet that month.

In February, I decided I needed to do more. I joined the gym. I am a very nervous person and somewhat introverted. Honestly, I was scared when I first signed up at the gym. I very quickly realized that everyone there is very supportive and not judgmental or intimidating at all.

At the end of February I decided that I still needed more. I signed up to work with a trainer. I was really scared. Within the first 5 minutes I realized that Josh Bilbrey is so supportive and really helps me achieve more each week. I am feeling so much better about myself. My kids are so excited about the changes in me and how I am able to be more involved with them and able to run around with them and ride a bike with them. In 5 and a half months I have lost 58 pounds to date. I could not have achieved this without the help and support of my family and the staff at Workout Anytime Powell. I still have more to go, but I can't wait to uary! I can honestly hon see what I am like next January! say, you got all! a member for life! Thank you all!”

Saying goodbye

By Alvin Nance

Ben Slocum, Avanti Savoia

Meet Ben Slocum, president of Avanti Savoia, an online retailer based in Halls. Avanti Savoia features “the best balsamic vinegars and extra virgin olive oils in the world,” Slocum says. They also carry an excellent selection of specialty foods.

Once a week, Avanti Savoia hosts cooking classes led by experienced chefs. Participants can learn new cooking techniques and recipes in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Register online at www.avantisavoia.com.

So, take a moment to get to know Ben Slocum and add him to your Shopper Network.

Who inspires you professionally?

Other small business owners. When I see other small business owners who are successful or just those trying to start up, it takes a certain amount of guts to try that. It’s inspiring.

Why did you choose this career?

It was an opportunity that came along, and I jumped on board. My father had retired, and through his traveling back and forth from the U.S. and Italy, he came across food that wasn’t available in the U.S. He asked me to be a partner in this business, along with a third partner in Italy. I didn’t set out to be in the food industry, but it just kind of happened.

What do you love about your community?

You can’t have a community without the people.

A retired school teacher with more than 40 years of experience in Knox County Schools, Cannon takes great pride in her accomplished former students.

She enjoyed pointing them out when they came before the board for awards or community presentations.

Cannon said she would miss the fellowship on the board, as well as the passion each board Cannon member has for providing quality affordable housing to the city of Knoxville and Knox County. She always enjoyed meeting board members who went on to become influential members of the community, like Gov. Bill Haslam, Laurens Tullock and so many more.

We are a very close board, and Juanita Cannon will be sorely missed. I am honored to have had the opportunity to cross her path and am grateful for her many years of service to KCDC.

At KCDC’s August board meeting, we said goodbye to an extraordinary woman who has meant Nance a great deal to us, Juanita Cannon. She served on the KCDC board of commissioners for 18 years, and I am thankful for her dedication to KCDC. At the meeting, Cannon was honored with a proclamation from Mayor Madeline Rogero declaring Aug. 27 Juanita Cannon Day in Knoxville.

Fellow board members including our chair, Culver Schmid, also thanked her for a long, productive service.

Cannon was appointed to the board by Mayor Victor Ashe. He had been looking for someone familiar with public housing, and she fit the bill, as she lived her younger years in KCDC’s Austin Homes. She characterizes the community as close-knit family and remains in contact with many former Austin Homes neighborhood kids who grew up to be community leaders.

NEWS FROM TEMPLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

Bump, set, spike!

Crusaders volleyball making strides

By Michael Scoggins

T

he Temple High School Crusader volleyball team began training camp with high expectations. Players and coaches alike shared goals of making a statement this season.

Temple got off to a solid start by going 4-2 and taking second place in the season-opening Lady Crusader Volleyball Invitational hosted by Crown College. Senior Brittany James, along with juniors Keegan McElyea and Abigail Houston, received all-tournament honors. Since the tournament, Temple has gone 4-1 in regular season play including two wins versus TSSAA opponent King’s Academy.

With an emphasis on fundamentals, on-court communication and teamwork, Temple head coach Jared Berry and assistant coach Jessica Motes have positioned Temple as a team to beat this year in the TAACS (Tennessee Athletic Association of Christian Schools).

When asked about the season so far Berry said, “One of our points of

They are (front) Shaylyn Olinger, Abigail Houston, Autumn Bonifacius, Cheyene Smith, Dioney Reese, Lina Thompson, Keegan McElyea, Karsyn Bonifacius, Brook James, Brittany James; (back) Alli Sexton, Abby Ryan and Allison Cate. emphasis is playing as one team and eliminating errors. We’ve been our own worst enemies at times and it has cost us points. If we can play together as a unit and reduce the number of unforced errors, then we will come out on top more often than not.”

The Temple Junior High Crusader volley-

ball team is also off to a great start. The junior high team competes in the Knoxville Independent Sports League. At 7-2, Temple is making a strong push through the schedule with crucial wins versus CAK, Knoxville Christian, Berean Academy and Maryville Christian, among others.

Coach Taryn Jones

says she has been pleased with how her team has performed, noting how they have shown a lot of effort and persistence.

“One of our goals for this season was for these girls to grow together as a team. They have really worked hard on serving the ball well which has Junior Crusader Abigail Houston goes for a spike during become one of the keys to a recent tournament. She was named to the All-Tournaour success.” ment Team. Photos submitted

Temple students remember 9/11

Tuesday marked the 11year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Students at Temple Baptist Academy took time to remember the attacks and those who have given their lives fighting the war on terrorism.

Temple Elementary students gathered around the school’s f lagpole where the f lag was f lying at half-staff.

Sixth grader Ben Jones led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance, after which teachers and students sang “God Bless America.” The ceremo-

ny concluded with a prayer asking God for his blessing on our country, our political and military leaders, and the troops defending our nation.

For many of us, we remember where we were and what we were doing 11 years ago. For students, 9/11 is something they are learning about in books.

Most students were either very young or not even born when the attacks of 9/11 happened.

Teachers and administrators spoke to students recounting where they were and what they experienced on that historic day. On this anniversary, teachers wanted to spend time

talking to students, answering questions, and telling them about the significance of 9/11 and the resulting impact it has had on our nation to this day.

Principal David Whitaker noted, “I want our students to be challenged to step forward as Christian citizens to make a difference in our country for good and for God. September 11 is a reminder to all of us that no one is guaranteed another day. Life is a gift from God and we are stewards of the life he has given us. We must seize every day as an opportunity with which to serve our God and our country.”
