Bringing hope to the homeless

Special guest speaker, designer and National Garden Club judge Barbara Manneschmidt brought an air of whimsy to the October meeting of the Noweta Garden Club. Several club members also won blue ribbons at the District 4 flower show. The Noweta group is also encouraging new club membership.

Carolyn Mullins says the two-year project of readying the works of the late Knoxville artist Ted Burnett for an art show and sale has been a labor of love. Mullins says she and her husband, Bill, were among Burnett’s “groupies” at his bohemian art gallery, the Art Mart on Fifth Avenue, in the mid-1960s.

Carolyn Mullins says the two-year project of readying the works of the late Knoxville artist Ted Burnett for an art show and sale has been a labor of love. Mullins says she and her husband, Bill, were among Burnett’s “groupies” at his bohemian art gallery, the Art Mart on Fifth Avenue, in the mid-1960s. She says Lanelle Holley, who works with her at Mullins’ Village Fine Art Gallery, was one of Burnett’s art students. “Ted went through all kinds of styles,” Mullins says, “most of which have not been seen in public.” All that will change Sunday, Oct. 14, during a special art show and sale 2-7 p.m. at Village Fine Art Gallery, 4660 Old Broadway. A percentage of sales will benefit co-sponsor the East Tennessee Historical Society. Burnett, who died in 1982, did not promote his artwork much during his lifetime. His most avid collector was his wife, Hazel, who passed away in 2006. Burnett developed myriad styles, including heavilytextured florals, abstract landscapes/seascapes, non-

Manneschmidt, a member of the Oak Ridge Garden Club, used mixed media and mono-botanicals to demonstrate design techniques for shows and for the home. Her talent belies the few years she has been involved in garden clubs and judging. “One of my favorite pieces to use with live plants is a metal sculpture by Ken Schwartz,” said Manneschmidt. “I use black electricians tape to attach flower holders and other pieces to the metal.” Manneschmidt said the introduction of modern art in the 1950s spurred the more creative design techniques being used today in flower arranging and competitive shows. Forty-two area garden clubs participated in the

Mullins says he took a special interest in casein paintings. Born in Knoxville in 1908, Burnett graduated from the Chicago Academy

of Fine Arts and studied at The Chicago Art Institute and Eliot O’Hara Watercolor School in Maine. He is survived by two sons, Mitch and Fielden. The Burnetts’ other son, Bim, passed away in 2005.

government Alexander pivotal in TVA confirmations President Obama has nominated three more persons for the TVA board, which will guarantee a quorum should they be confirmed. One of the nominees is Mike McWherter, son of the late Gov. Ned McWherter and unsuccessful candidate for governor in 2010. If the President is not reelected, expect these nominees to fail and a President Romney to nominate four new board members, but it means the board will lack a quorum for several months. However, if President Obama is re-elected, some or all of these nominees may win confirmation. The President’s four nominees may or may not meet the corporate experience standard which Sen. Bob Corker favors for the TVA board. The Senate does not go back into session until Nov. 13 and is likely to meet for only three weeks with the budget topping the list of must-do items. Given all that the lameduck session of Congress has to do, confirming four TVA nominations (one was made last February) will not rank high on the agenda. Hearings have not even been set. Furthermore, the White House failure to consult Sen. Lamar Alexander during this process is nothing short of stunning. He has a longtime interest in TVA and is a pivotal player in determining who gets confirmed. It appears TVA may hire a successor to Tom Kilgore but the agency has declined to reveal what the consulting firm is being paid to assist the board in finding the replacement. Travis Brickey, TVA public relations spokesperson, said, “Typically, specific information regarding contract amounts are confidential due to the competitive contract process.� One would think release of the actual amount which ratepayers are paying would be in the public interest and would not compromise competitive bids. All competitive bids for the city of Knoxville and Knox County are a matter of public record for any citizen to inspect, but not at TVA apparently. Kilgore will have almost $7 million in his retirement package despite a rocky tenure as CEO which left many ratepayers unhappy. If ratepayers got to vote on his considerable retirement package, it would fail. The current board is anxious

The term is seven years. Varlan is a former city of Knoxville law director for 10 years which makes him the longest serving city law director in the past 80 years. Varlan as chief judge is the administrative judge for the district. He has been a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States since 2010 – the first judge of the Eastern District of Tennessee to be appointed to the Judicial Conference in 30 years. While this district court has existed for 225 years, Varlan is only the 21st person to hold a U.S. District judgeship, having been appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2003.

Cliff gets one right I had a really good story fall through last week. It was about a new Knoxvillian who has faced all kinds of personal tragedy with courage and grace and whose dearest wish is to be able to register to vote in the November elections. It would have made you cry. But she’s a private person and decided she didn’t want that kind of publicity. She just wants to vote in Knox County. That didn’t seem like much to ask, especially for someone who has faced unimaginable challenges over the past seven years. The most recent chapter of her story began this summer when she got a call from her oldest daughter, who told her mom she had just been diagnosed with lung cancer.

Betty Bean “I made a quick decision to make a beeline to Knoxville to help my daughter,� she said, despite her own fight to overcome breast cancer. But she retired from her job as a law librarian in 2005 after losing her home to hurricane Katrina, so she’s able to relocate on short notice. And her baby needed her. She settled in pretty quickly. She has two daughters here, and they are all living together. She is continuing her own chemotherapy at the same time that her oldest daughter begins her own battle.

She doesn’t have a car and is alone a lot during the day while her daughters are working. She’s keenly interested in politics and has been following the issues around the presidential race on cable TV. Stories about the new Voter ID laws were daunting. A couple of weeks ago, one of her daughters’ church friends gave her a ride out to the Tennessee Department of Safety’s driver service center in Strawberry Plains so she could get a photo ID. It was a long ride but she figured it was worth it to be able to vote. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. The clerk who processed her request wanted to see a birth certificate (which she didn’t have) and proof that she really lives in Knoxville – a deed or KUB bill with her name on it. She didn’t have that, either. What she did have was

a valid out-of-state drivers license with her photo on it and a change-of-address form from the post office. She caught a break the follow ing week when Knox County Elections Administrator Cliff Rodgers heard of her plight. It took Cliff Rodgers him about 10 seconds to opine that her out-of-state drivers license and proof of residence were plenty enough to qualify her to vote. She filled out the forms and will have a new voter’s registration card this week. Rodgers said this isn’t the first time he’s heard about this kind of problem. He shook her hand and welcomed her to Knoxville and she went home with a smile on her face.

Cheap trip to Starkville

Eden’s Law

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

ased on the assumption that many Shopper-News readers have never been to Mississippi State for a late-night football game, and may not go, here is a virtual trip without charges for travel, food, lodging or tickets. The appropriately named town of Starkville (nicknamed Starkpatch by the crude and insensitive) is a ways down the road from Memphis and out Highway 82. Population is 23,926 except on select Saturdays. Starkville is the social and political hub of Oktibbeha County. It was Choctaw country before the relatively young USA worked out a little land swap with the Indians. Eleven million acres changed hands in the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. You can look it up. Starkville has made great strides. Median household income is $22,590. What you may have heard about food stamps just isn’t true. “Everybody� is not everybody. Starkville is famous for far more than football and creative recruiting. Notorious gangster Machine Gun Kelly lived there two years while studying agriculture. His highest grade was C+ in physical hygiene. If professors had been more supportive, Kelly might have chosen farming over crime. Cool Papa Bell brought honor. He went from Starkville to the baseball Hall of Fame. Julio Borbon went from Starkville to UT to the Texas Rangers. Jerry Rice made his mark in the NFL. I’ve always thought a Starkville highlight was the arrest and overnight lockup of Johnny Cash. That was 1965. Johnny warmed the concert crowd at the animal husbandry building on the MSU campus. He sang bass and songs about crycry-crying, freight trains and walking the line. His band retreated to Memphis but Cash, supposedly troubled and restless, decided to hang around. He visited a frat house, dropped in on a private party and finally arrived at the University Motel. Well, shucks, or something like that, he was out of cigarettes. He went walking but convenience stores were closed. He was intrigued by a private lawn sprinkled with flowers. I don’t know what he was doing beside that tree. Somebody who should have been asleep called the law. The police didn’t believe Johnny Cash was Johnny Cash. They thought the gaunt man in black might be a migratory vagrant. They took him in to sober up. He kicked the cell door and broke his toe. To get even, he wrote the song “Starkville City Jail.� There is no Starkville city jail but not many words rhyme with Oktibbeha County Jail.

Or what woman having 10 silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.� (Luke 15: 8-9 NRSV)

H This photo by Robbie Ward shows the place you don’t want to be in Starkville. Years later, keen, cognizant Robbie Ward turned Cash’s version of the arrest, that he was just picking flowers, into a festival and negotiated a symbolic “pardon� for the repentant superstar. Amazing what all goes on in Starkpatch, oops, Starkville. Good town. Good people. Many places of worship. Twice as many Baptists as Methodists. First in Mississippi to prohibit indoor smoking. Starkvillians are not all rednecks in bib overalls and old pickup trucks. There is considerable culture, a clock museum, a piano showcase, a strong veterinary school, the John Grisham room at the campus library. Even as we speak, the Starkville Community The-

ater is rehearsing Six Dance Lessons by Richard Alfieri. Hotel Chester, 101 North Jackson Street, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Football fans can be a country pain. They ring those blasted cowbells before, during and after games at Davis Wade Stadium. They talk about cowbell etiquette but clangclanging continues. The SEC fined the school $30,000 and imposed cowbell limitations. Compliance will supposedly determine the future of the bells. The NCAA will determine the future of recruiting. Big, bad Bulldogs may determine the football future of Tennessee. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

ere we are, back in Jesus’ Lost and Found Department: a lost sheep, a lost coin, and the triumphant story of the lost son (or the lost older brother, depending on where you stand to view the action). I may as well confess my shortcomings up front and get it over with. Clutter and I are well acquainted. I blame my love of the written word, mostly, because I cannot bear to throw away a scrap of paper with some well-crafted sentence on it. I have magazines (especially Christmas issues) that I haven’t looked at in years. Enough confessing. You get the idea. I have too much stuff, too many tasks to complete, too many responsibilities, and too many other things I would rather do than deal with the problem. All of which means I spend a fair amount of time looking for things, which is why I love Jesus’ Lost and Found Department. Boy, can I relate to the woman looking for the coin! When my daughter Eden

was about 5, I was frantically searching for something, she observed calmly, “Don’t worry, Mom. You’ll find it when you are looking for something else.� Turned out, she was right – then, and many times since. It happened to me today – twice! I had been searching for well over a week for a pair of earrings that I love. My Jordan bought them years ago at the Greekfest at St. George’s, and eventually turned them over to me. They are simple teardropshaped black leather, with a Chi slashed across them – the first letter in Christos. This morning, I was looking for a coin, needing another quarter to make a simple purchase, and there they were, in the cup holder of my car. When I found them, I remembered why I had taken them off and put them there, and laughed at myself. On a much more frustrating level, I had bought two pages of stamps last week. I remembered well

where I was standing when I used the first one. I was in my office. I could not remember using another one. Could I find them now? Are you kidding? I searched at home, at work, in my car (several times), at home again, at work again. Finally, because I had things I had to mail, I went to the Post Office and was standing in line to buy more stamps. I reached into my purse to retrieve my wallet and saw a folded piece of paper I didn’t recognize. My stamps. I had looked in my purse before, but if you think my house is cluttered ‌! I’m quite certain the nice lady behind the counter wondered why I came to the Post Office. For a visit? Just to say hello? I smiled at her as I turned and left, making no purchase, offering no explanation. Eden’s Law has not been repealed. I find things when I am looking for something else. If that is true in a house (or car), is it also true in life? In relationships? In our work or play? In our Christian walk? Like the woman in the parable, I should call some friends to come and celebrate with me. But I would have to clean the house first.

Gulf fritillary

Spider guarding her egg case

Tales from the back field NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Fall is upon us. You can probably tell from all those Asian stink bugs that are moving back into the house with you. But outside, the sumacs are already deep crimson. The dogwoods are turning, and their berries are red and ripe. Our yard mockingbird is working frantically to defend his berry trees from all comers. But soon there will be more “comers” than even he can handle. The cedar waxwings, or a flock of migrating rose-breasted grosbeaks, will likely put him out of business in a matter of a few minutes. I’ve just put new sunflower seeds in the bird feeder in hopes of encouraging the local chickadees and titmice to bring a few visiting migrants into the yard for us, but there’s still a lot of wild bird food available. Out in the back field there are a lot of grasses and wildflowers going to seed; there are still some wild grapes hanging on; there are lots of bugs, including inchworms, moths and spiders. The flocks of meat-eating birds

are going over every twig and leaf several times a day to find and gobble up whatever may be lurking there. For several years now, I’ve been leaving three sizeable patches of goldenrod to grow up and bloom in the back field. They’re peaking out right about now. That’s definitely where the action is – at least, the bug, butterfly, spider, bee and wasp action. Goldenrod attracts loads of insect life because, unlike ragweed, which is sending tons of spiky pollen grains into the air (and into our sinuses) these days, goldenrod makes heavy, sticky pollen that stays put in the blossoms until removed or eaten by something. It must be good, with considerable food value, judging by the number of customers it draws. A quick afternoon survey of a goldenrod patch generally produces a list of a couple dozen kinds of flies, bees and wasps, bugs, beetles, butterflies and spiders. Some of the visitors are eating the goldenrod pollen right there on the spot, while others are carrying it

away. You’ll see bumblebees and honeybees with the pollen sacs on their hind legs full of gathered pollen to be taken back and fed to the larvae in hive or nest. But, just as in your garden, not everything you see on your plants is there to eat them. A lot of them are there to eat the ones that are eating the plants. That’s how it is out there in the back field, a whole lot of being eaten as well as eating. Take aphids, for example. As things dry up this time of the year, you see fewer aphids because they like to suck the juices out of tender, growing parts of a plant, like your rose bushes and tomatoes. But a few things are still putting out new growth, like the seed pods of butterfly weed and flowers of the goldenrods. And there are the aphids. Aphids begin life in the spring as hatchlings from eggs laid in the previous fall. But after that, things are anything but usual for the aphids. Those spring females quickly mature and the females produce zillions of baby female aphids, by live birth, with no males involved. That is called parthenogenesis, or virgin birth, and some other organisms reproduce in the same way. I’m not making this up, honest. Aphids can produce as many as 13 generations in a season. Imagine how many that would make if every single daughter aphid survived and began producing her generations. I once read in a gardening book an estimate for how

long it would take, if every new aphid lived, for them all to equal the weight of the entire Earth. It wasn’t a very long time. Lucky for us, there are lots of things out there that love to eat aphids, ladybugs, for one, and their larvae. They eat them steadily, day after day. You can purchase ladybugs to put in your garden to clean up those aphids without chemicals and such. Another major aphid-eater is the larva of the delicate-looking lacewing fly; they munch them voraciously as well. And going at them from another approach, several species of small parasitic wasps lay their eggs in aphids and thus eat them from the inside out. Very effective. I watched the other day as a species of assassin bug with a daggerlike beak pierced aphid after aphid, sucking them dry. Thank goodness we have some help out there to keep us from being smothered by tons and tons of aphids! Another critter that’s on our side is the cool little crab spider. They run from 1/4-inch to 1/2inch in size and they hold their front two pairs of legs up and out, like a crab holds its front claws. And, like crabs, they run faster sideways and backwards than straight ahead. Crab spiders change color according to the flowers they are hiding on. They generally start out white in the spring, lurking in the white spring wildflowers. Then, toward summer, when they move

to yellow flowers, they can turn yellow in seven to 10 days. This makes for excellent camouflage for their line of work: they make no web, but instead, hide amongst the parts of a flower and wait for insect prey to come to the flower for pollen, and then pounce, grab and eat. They often catch insects larger than they are. Once when I was out photographing butterflies, I spotted a nice gray hairstreak butterfly, known to be fast and skittish. It was on a milkweed blossom and I approached it with care and stealth, snapping a photo each time I got a little closer. This was in film days and each slide taken added up to more money at the photo store. As I got really close, I suddenly remembered words I’d read in an article about photographing butterflies: “Sometimes a difficult butterfly that you can get really close to is actually dead and in the clutches of a crab spider.” Well, they were right. The one-inch butterfly was in the grasp of a little yellow 3/8-inch crab spider, with nothing much left but the wings! Vegetarians? Ladybugs and crab spiders wouldn’t understand what you were talking about. And it’s a good thing that they, along with all those birds scouring the leaves and branches, feel that way about it or we would have, as they say, a real situation on our hands.

Treble Choir

Blessing of the Animals Saturday

blends more than voices

at Powell Presbyterian

By Wendy Smith The St. James Episcopal Church Treble Choir only has 10 members. But the group’s potential to inspire the church and the community is huge, in spite of its small size. More than half of the new choir’s membership comes from kids who spend time at the nearby Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley. The church’s choir director, Jason Overall, formed the choir to offer musical training to kids from the community as well as the youth from St. James. “It’s an outreach to our kids, too,” he says. The choir has been pracRoma Hoffman, Rayuana Garrett, Mykenzie Lambert and Mia Rorex clap to rhythms specified by ticing for a month and is St. James Episcopal Church choir director Jason Overall.

Somehow our pets know the best way to tug at our heart-strings, says Jonathan Warren, pastor of Powell Presbyterian Church. “Especially if we are having a bad day, they know just how to make us feel a bit better. They don’t talk back or leave the toilet seat up.” At 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, Powell Presbyterian Church will hold a service to bless these animals that God created and put in our lives, Warren said. This service might sound silly to some, but to animal owners, it is far from silly. These pets are an important part of people’s lives. For some children, their pet is a best friend. For a single person, their pet is a companion. And for animal lovers, their pet is part of the family. Any and every pet owner in Powell and Knoxville is invited to come. Tell your animal loving

friends and neighbors to come to the service. There will be treats for the dogs and cats. Even if you don’t have Warren a pet, this service will be great fun. Here is the blessing each animal will receive from the Rev. Jonathan Warren: “Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fi sh in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. “We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. “May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.” The church is located at 2910 W. Emory Rd. in Powell. Info: www.powellpcusa. org or 938-8311.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Community schools ready to take off By Wendy Smith

A

quick stroll through Pond Gap Elementary School at 4 p.m. demonstrates why Knox County Schools is investing in the community school movement. In the circus class, held in the cafeteria, kids read a book about circus animals before bouncing around tables on jumping balls. Down the hall, students receive individualized attention from teachers on math homework. In music class, Ronda Mostella encourages students to sit up straight to improve their sound. But the message is about more than singing. “If you sit up straight, your grades will go up. All it takes is getting your instrument straight.” Other important things are going on in the University-Assisted Community School. Some that can’t be observed. Data shows that most participants are staying the same or performing better in reading and math. Additionally, absences, tardies and behavioral referrals are down, and that means parental involvement is improving. Both things are remarkable, given the population served by the program, says Bob Kronick. The UT College of Education, Health and Health Sciences professor began his work on the community school concept 13 years ago. Community schools allow children to receive education and enrichment after school hours and offer services like meals, health care and classes, to adults in the community. Benefits extend beyond the Pond Gap neighborhood. The community school also provides hands-on experience and research opportunities for the many UT students who work there. This is the third year of the program, which is funded by a grant

from UT alumnus Randy Boyd. An additional grant from the United Way of Greater Knoxville allows 80 kids to participate this year. Kronick’s plea at a June County Commission meeting resulted in a $500,000 commitment from Knox County Schools to create three more community schools. The Great Schools Partnership provides further funding for the initiative.

Pond Gap Elementary School students Samara Johnson and Reginald Marsh get help with math homework from community school teacher Nicole Pike.

Circus teacher Jake Weinstein reads to his class before turning them loose with jumping balls in the Pond Gap Elementary School cafeteria. Programs are opening this fall at Lonsdale, Green and Norwood elementary schools. Drema Bowers Mitchell is the Project GRAD administrator at Lonsdale Elementary. The community school there will initially serve 80 students, and programs are scheduled to begin Oct. 22. Students will participate in afterschool programs until 5:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday, then dinner will be served to students and their families. Mitchell thinks Lonsdale is ahead of the curve because of Project GRAD’s presence on the campus. Resource coordinator Susan Bryant and after-school coordinator Adam Fritts were already working at the school with Project

GRAD and have experience with after-school tutoring. Mitchell has observed the program at Pond Gap and has toured community schools in Cincinnati. But every community school looks different, because every community is different, she says. A steering committee made up of parents, teachers and community partners recommended the classes and services that will be available to adults while children are receiving extra instruction at Lonsdale. Opportunities will include a Hispanic women’s group, a keyboarding class and GED class. Interns from UT and LMU will work with students at Lonsdale, and 15 community partners, including the Joy of Music School and Ijams Nature Center, are on board. Knox County Schools has contracts with health, mental health and dental care providers that will offer services at each of the three community schools. “It’s a very exciting time for us,” says Mitchell. “Our goal is to see kids improve academically and be empowered.” Kronick serves as a consultant to the new community schools. With the support of the community, local government, school administrators and teachers, Knox County Schools is poised to take off, he says. “It’s like we’re No. 3 in line at Hartsfield Airport. Everything’s in place. Unless we mess it up, it’s set to go beautifully. The potential is there.”

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • OCTOBER 8, 2012 • A-11 Ella Inman and Ella Sneed take a break from skating to pose for a photo.

Skating for schools Powell honors volleyball seniors Four senior volleyball players were honored before the final home match for Powell High School last week. Being remembered for their dedication, hard work and leadership on the team are: Rebecca Chrimes, Haley Browning, Rachel Stacy and Kaley Heinkel. Each girl was presented with a bouquet of roses, a gift bag and a signed volleyball from their teammates. Photo by Ruth White

Postseason looms Coming off a 28-7 televised win against Hardin Valley last Thursday, it’s clear that Powell is hot. The Panthers now stand at 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the district, with the last round of the regular season not really getting any tougher. Powell dominated the Hawks, allowing only one touchdown – and that one came from a kickoff return. Quarterback Hagen Owenby went 13-18, throwing for 193 yards and two touchdowns – to Tremarius Hunt and Marcus Weaver. He tacked on 71 rushing yards. Tailback Montario Washington added another 67 rushing yards on 11 carries and a touchdown. It looked like Powell had slipped in the fourth quarter, when up 21-7, Owenby threw a pick at the HVA oneyard-line. But the following Hardin Valley drive didn’t last long. Shortly thereafter, Johnathan Strozyk intercepted a Hardin Valley pass and returned it for a touchdown to put the Panthers up 28-7 with less than two minutes remaining in the game. Drive after drive, the Powell defense managed to step up and keep Hardin Valley from scoring. The closest

Cory Chitwood

the Hawks got was a missed 44-yard-field goal attempt in the late 2nd quarter. With most of the tougher regular season games out of the way, the postseason has to be in the back of every Panther fan’s mind. Up next is a trip to Campbell County to take on the Cougars. Powell hasn’t lost to Campbell County since 2008, meaning no current member of this Powell team has ever lost to the Cougars. The last game of the season will not be easy, however. Central’s Bobcats will come into Scarbro Stadium with hopes of spoiling Powell’s Senior Night. Central (4-3 overall), hasn’t beaten the Panthers since 2010. The Bobcats have a near-perfect district record (4-1) and are currently on a four game winning streak. But if Powell’s defense performs like it did against Hardin Valley, it’s hard seeing

Campbell County or Central doing much damage on the scoreboard. Powell’s offense has been solid as well, on the ground and through the air. Neither team’s secondary should overwhelm Powell’s passing game, and the same goes for the running game. Should Powell win out, home-field advantage in the playoffs would almost be a certainty. Volleyball: The Powell volleyball team is entering the postseason – and coming in hot. The Panthers finished out their regular season by beating Lenoir City by scores of 25-23, 18-25, 25-21 and 25-13. “It was a great night for the seniors and their families,” said coach Michael Blair. Up next is the district tournament, in which Powell will be seeded seventh. A key to winning in the postseason will be on-court team communication, according to Blair. The Panthers will take on the second-seeded Hardin Valley Hawks in the first round of the district tournament at Hardin Valley Academy. The game will take place Tuesday, Oct. 9, with game time to be announced. From here on out for the Panthers, it’s win or go home.

In addition, another 30 percent of them have osteopenia, which is abnormally low bone density that may eventually deteriorate into osteoporosis, if not treated. About half of all women over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra. There are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis. Symptoms occurring late in the disease include low back pain, neck pain, bone pain and tenderness, loss of height over time and stooped posture.

Sales pull back in September By Sherry Witt

Rob Vandergriff, AutoXtend Meet Rob Vandergriff of AutoXtend. Rob will tell you he’s the greeter at AutoExtend’s two locations, when in fact he’s the owner. But, he says, it’s his great employees who really make the business hum, so he’d prefer to be called the greeter. “AutoXtend is a community automotive repair facility with outstanding employees serving a wonderful community with all aspects of their car care needs,� he said. So, take a moment to get to know Rob Vandergriff and add him to your Shopper Network.

Who inspires you professionally?

Pat Summitt because of her ability to coach athletes to perform beyond their abilities and inspire them to be even better citizens than they are athletes.

Why did you choose this career?

My dad was an automotive mechanic who could fix anything, and I really respect anyone with the gift for being able to fix something broken. Plus I’m a car nut, so it is second nature to me.

What do you love about your community?

The Halls and Powell communities are blessed with the best group of people in the world. We now have customers who are friends, and that is the biggest compliment you can get.

What is the best part of your day?

Our business is more like a barber shop, in that the first thing in the morning people just come in and grab a cup of coffee and talk. So, to me the best part is the start of the day.

After the first sustained period of growth in nearly four years, the local real estate markets leveled off someWitt what in September. For the month ending on Friday, Sept. 28, there were 660 property sales recorded by the Register of Deeds office, or 177 fewer than during the month of August. The figures are almost flat even when compared to September 2011, when 669 parcels were sold. The total value of real estate sold during September was $232.4 million, but was bolstered by a single transfer that came in at $100 million. Even without the large transfer, however, the data compared favorably to last September when $111 million was sold. Mortgage lending markets continued to perform

well. For the month, about $308 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to just $238 million in September of 2011. Low interest rates, government programs and slightly improved property values have combined to make 2012 a strong year for refinancing. The largest property transfer of the month, and of the year to date, was the sale for $100 million of a health care facility in the Dowell Springs complex on Middlebrook Pike. The largest mortgage transaction was a loan secured by Knoxville Hotel Associates for $11.5 million against property on Lake Avenue. Although property sales did experience a downturn in September, it should be noted that this comes on the heels of a six-month stretch that outperformed the same period from 2011. Historically, September almost always brings such a drop in sales as construction slows with the onset of fall.
