diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancerrelated death among women in Tennessee. Although the causes of breast cancer are still unknown, there are many factors including advancing age and family history that may increase someone’s risk for breast cancer. “Mammograms save lives,” said

Janine Mingie, director of the Tennova Breast Centers at North Knoxville Medical Center and Turkey Creek Medical Center. “Today, thanks to early detection and treatment advances, women are surviving breast cancer and living longer, healthier lives.” The American Cancer Society recommends women have yearly mammograms starting at age 40.

DeBusk charms readers at Sarah Moore Greene By Sandra Clark We know Pete and Cindi DeBusk have a big house. We know Pete founded DeRoyal Industries which now employs some 1,800 people worldwide. We know he’s led Lincoln Memorial University into the modern era with satellite campuses, medical and law schools, and $118 million operating budget. We probably do not know the story he told six kids at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy last week. The kids already knew some of what he said. For a month they had read and discussed his biography, “The Rabbit’s Got the Gun,” at the authors club, an after-school enrichment project sponsored by Shopper News. Your parents move a lot? Pete attended 13 schools before his high school graduation. Don’t have much money? Pete said most days his best meal was his school lunch. Have trouble fitting in? Pete grew to 6-3 in high school and had red hair. How did this man move from a mobile home in Appalachia to the chairmanship of an international corporation and a major regional university? Call it smarts, luck, tenacity.

Call it a drive to the top, propelled perhaps by a touch of anger. Whatever your answer, Pete shared his story with six kids at SMG, and that story could change their lives. “How long did it take to write this book?” asked Yasmine Shuler. Perceptively, she had brought Pete a gift – a felt money holder with a $100 Ben Franklin imprint and a beautiful flat rock inside. “Two years,” said Pete. “I had a

ghost-writer, Dr. Sylvia Lynch.” “Why did you do it?” “I’ve got seven kids,” said Pete. “Someday I’ll have great, great grandkids. I wrote the book so they will know who I am and why I did this.” “What about the book’s name?” asked another. The rabbit’s got the gun is an Appalachian metaphor for the underdog taking charge; for the hunted

becoming the hunter. The kids will look for Appalachian metaphors in the other books we read this year. Pete’s book is littered with them. At one point he says, “I might have stretched the blanket,” referring to an embellishment. He writes of a Donald Trump moment when he brought a bank-

Crafting in miniature By Cindy Cin indy dy Taylor Tay ayllor lor Ed and Millie Norris seem to ooze talent. Any time the two get tired of dabbling in one thing, they just create something new. The Halls couple has been married for 48 years and has been making doll furniture since 2007. Millie sold handmade doll clothes at the 2006 Halls Crossroads Women’s League gala. She and her husband were encouraged by Martha Arnold Charnay, founder of the league, to make doll furniture for the 2007 gala. The two began making furniture for 8- to 18-inch dolls and for dollhouses. Ed does the wood crafting, and Millie handles the padding and sewing. “It’s just a part of who I am,” said Millie. “We love doing this and have made furniture for our greatgrandchildren.” Ed comes from a background of carpenters but didn’t get into woodworking until he and Millie decided to craft the doll furniture. Ed handles all of the cutting and piecing together of the wood for the furniture, then Millie takes over to accomplish the finished product by adding padding and cloth. They repurpose small jewelry boxes into dressers and nightstands to fit the appropriate size dolls. Lamps are often made from discarded miniature glass bottles. The Norrises are donat-

Diversity efforts not all the same State Rep. Martin Daniel of Knoxville has released figures showing that the University of Tennessee is spending $2,549,882 on diversity programs. Of this amount $1,667,195 is at the Knoxville campus. Some totals suggest it exceeds over $4 million on all UT campuses. The request for this information was generated by the recent controversy on the “gender neutral” pronouns published on the UT Office of Diversity webpage. Vice Chancellor Ricky Hall, who oversees diversity, is paid $217,252 including benefits. In the recent controversy over gender-neutral pronouns use, Hall was seldom if ever mentioned, even though it occurred on his watch in his area of authority. One has to wonder where he was when this issue triggered national news? Instead, UT President Joe DiPietro, who normally shuns involvement in purely campus issues, assumed command of the issue and ordered the offending words removed from the university website after a few days. It is unclear whether DiPietro even spoke to Hall on this issue. This is the same UT president who a few months earlier had written a piece for the News Sentinel outlining his reasons for not getting involved in the Lady Vols name-change controversy on the grounds it was a UT-Knoxville campus issue. It was a matter for Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and Athletic Director Dave Hart to resolve, even though it has generated 25,000 signatures on an online petition and a letter to the UT Board signed by over one-third of the General Assembly. The pronoun issue created a national outrage that caused DiPietro to reverse course and move quickly to end the controversy, which could have handled by Chancellor Cheek or Vice Chancellor Hall acting alone or together. Board members were caught off guard. While the pronoun controversy has ended, the fiscal issue continues on the very valid matter of how many tax dollars should be spent on diversity. Diversity is a worthwhile issue and should be discussed. In the American system, diversity has a valid role. Diversity should

Victor Ashe

be promoted, but does it require $2.5 million a year to do it? It is legitimate to question the amount being spent, as Daniel has stated. Over 30 employees on the Knoxville campus alone are pushing this. The gender-neutral pronoun memo was one of their achievements. Easily discarded, one could assume this was a waste of tax dollars and not required by federal law. What does this office do? My own governmental experience tells me that anytime $2.5 million is being spent, there is an easy 20 percent that could be shaved off with little impact. UT spokesperson Margie Nichols says it is mostly to comply with federal regulations. That is the UT line, and they are sticking to it. Well, citizens and legislators should ask UT to explain precisely what federal regulations require such a cost. If UT cut staff from 30 to 15, what would suffer? Why do individual colleges have their diversity officers in addition to the campus office? That includes the Law School, the College of Engineering, Haslam College of Business, College of Veterinary Medicine and College of Arts and Sciences, to name several. Can this not be streamlined and consolidated to save costs? The trustees and/or UT staff may have to answer these questions or face a legislative inquiry. Some at UT resent Daniel raising these issues, but saving money is good for taxpayers if it results in that. ■ Denark Construction, a very successful Knoxville firm led ably by Raja Jubran, celebrates its 30th anniversary on Oct. 16 with an event at the Historic Tennessee Theatre.

Time for a new tune at the school board

One of the strongest arguments for appointing school superintendents is that doing so removes them from the dirty business of politics, which is left instead to the elected school board, which hires, fires and oversees the superintendent. That’s a tidy plan, but it won’t work if the board declines to do its statutory duty. And that’s what’s happening in Knox County, balloons and confetti cannons and Exemplary School District status notwithstanding. Take Bearden High School, for example. In August, this newspaper broke the story that Bearden’s Tennessee Value Added Assessment Score – the beall, end-all gold standard for the data-driven bunch in charge of education – had plunged from Level 5 to Level 1 in 2014-15. This news was accompanied by anecdotal evidence of high teacher turnover rates and difficulties with “one-to-

Betty Bean one” technology, raising questions that begged answers – but not, evidently, in the view of the school board, which has remained curiously silent. Add this to the controversy over the forced resignation of Bearden’s successful, popular softball coach, Leonard Sams, which had already reached the boiling point by the time the TVAAS scores became known, and it would seem that someone on the board might have wondered what the heck was going on at Bearden. But when Bearden parents, players and boosters asked the board to put the matter on its agenda, what they got was crickets, except for insinuations that the coach knows why he

was fired. Meanwhile, a once-successful program is in turmoil and boosters are stuck with the cost of a new practice facility because fundraising dried up with Sams’ departure. Earlier in the summer, communities like Copper Ridge and Mt. Olive were rocked by the non-renewal of popular, successful teachers Christina Graham and Gloria Ray-Scheberle, neither of whom had taught long enough in Knox County to qualify for tenure. Parents came the school board seeking help, or at least answers. Again, crickets. Maybe this “never apologize, never explain” tactic was developed after the 2011 public pillorying of Joel Helton, longtime head football coach at Central High School, whose suspension was announced via a Friday press release over an allegation that he had menaced a female student

with a stick. When that charge proved meritless, Superintendent James McIntyre’s investigation turned into a fishing expedition in an attempt to nail Helton, who was allowed to return to work the following year – at Farragut High School – while McIntyre publicly announced that he would never again be allowed to coach in Knox County. The episode left deep wounds in Fountain City that only began to heal after the new Central High principal, Michael Reynolds, and coach, Bryson Rosser, reached out to Helton, who had been stricken with cancer and had only months to live. In all these cases, and more, citizens went to their school board for answers and got stonewalled by a board whose theme song is “Stand By Your Man.” It’ll probably take one more election cycle for them to learn a new tune.

FBI hears complaints, praise East Knox residents brought a parade of complaints and praise to a panel of Knox law enforcement chiefs in a public forum sponsored by the FBI at Austin-East High School last Thursday. “We need to close the divide between law enforcement and the citizens we serve,” said Edward Reinhold, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Knoxville office, which serves the eastern half of Tennessee. “There have been far too many violent encounters between law enforcement and civilians in recent months. “As leaders in the law enforcement community, we felt it was necessary that somebody start this conversation.” Reinhold said the forum was a response to police killings of black men in Ferguson, Missouri; Baltimore, Maryland, and other locations that have led to riots and unrest across the nation. Several of the attendees responded with stories of their personal mistreatment by local law enforcement officers. One man told of being assaulted by a policeman while he was standing in his own driveway, then being arrested for no reason. Another man complained about an especially vigorous frisking. Theotis Robinson III detailed two stops he experienced that were the result of racial profiling and asked what the agencies were doing to prevent the practice. David Rausch, chief of the Knoxville Police Department, fielded most of the questions and took

notes, promising individual meetings with the people who had complaints. Questions about employment in law enforcement also surfaced. The heads of the various departments outlined the requirements for hiring in their agencies, and Jessie Brooks, captain of the Knoxville district of the Tennessee Highway Patrol talked about the difficulties in getting applicants for state trooper positions and invited qualified citizens to apply. Several people had questions about the city’s Police Advisory & Review Committee, its powers and effectiveness. One person asked why there was no PARC for county officers. Another person called for the completion of the proposed safety center for people arrested with mental health or substance abuse issues. That comment prompted general applause from the gathering. Rausch said his department did not have a community policing program but instilled a “philosophy of community policing” in the police force. “We want our officers to be in the community before crime occurs. We want everyone treated right and treated professionally.” He dodged a question about guns in city parks, noting that a recently filed

lawsuit challenging the city of Knoxville’s interpretation of the state law prevented him from commenting on the issue. Vivian Shipe, president of Local 406 of the National Alliance of Postal and Federal Employees, turned the discussion to race relations at the U.S. Postal Service main post office on Weisgarber Road. She called on the law enforcement chiefs to investigate racist and violent threats before there was a violent incident. “We have supervisors who use racial slurs on employees. We have workers who are locked out of the post office building solely because they are big black men,” Shipe said. She said one employee was not disciplined for threatening to bring a gun to work and shoot people, a violation of the USPS zero tolerance policy against threats and violence. “You need to form a threat assessment team before something happens. We don’t want you to be ask-

ing after the fact were there any signs that tensions were building. We don’t want you running in while employees run out. We want you running in now.” Monica Reed from the Morningside neighborhood praised the FBI for holding the forum, and Valencia Watson urged citizens to comply with police when stopped. But black activist David Alex Hayes questioned why the forum was held in competition with another forum on the same topic being held at Payne Avenue Baptist Church. He was also critical of the lack of power given to PARC. In addition to Reinhold, Rausch and Brooks, panelists included Randy Nichols, special counsel to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office; University of Tennessee police chief Troy Lane; Dewayne Johnson, special agent in charge of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Knoxville office; and Robert Simerly, head of UT Medical Center Security.

DNA marking program could deter crime The company that manufactures intruder DNA spray used to stop repeat breakins at Lee’s Food Mart on Rutledge Pike is trying to get neighborhoods on board with a new program that uses synthetic DNA to mark valuables. If the majority of neighbors sign up, it would be like a putting a shield around a neighborhood, says Johan Larsen of the CSI Protect Program. Larsen spoke to the Council of West Knox County Homeowners last week. He described kits that allow homeowners to mark valuables with a glue that contains an ultraviolet tracer and a unique DNA code. Law enforcement officers can scan recovered items for the glue, which contains microdots − flat, one millimeter dots that are printed with the registered code

said it was clear that the program is a potential tool for homeowners in the continuing fight to protect their Wendy property. Smith Signs identifying homes with DNA marking were thought to deter criminals. “Even criminals who and the company’s contact flunked kindergarten can information. That informa- read ‘DNA,’ and they’ll bytion links criminals to crime pass those homes,” Larsen scenes and allows victims to said. recover their possessions.

A 21 percent valuables, will be greatly redecrease in overall crime also duced if purchased through occurred. a neighborhood association. After the test, Knoxville Captain Robbie Lawson Police Chief David Rausch of the sheriff’s office attend-

ed the meeting. The department regularly disposes of stolen property worth thousands of dollars because owners can’t be identified, he said. Most robbery victims don’t have pictures, receipts or serial numbers they can use to identify their valuables. He emphasized that the sheriff’s office doesn’t endorse products. But if homeowners associations purchase the kits, the department will buy what is needed to support the program, he said. Knoxville is the first U.S. city to use DNA marking. The system has been used effectively in Europe since the 1980s, according to Larsen. The company is talking to insurance companies about offering discounts to homeowners who use CSI Protect.

The glue, called SelectaDNA, is non-toxic and long-lasting. It’s also difficult to remove. Larsen recommends putting the glue in hard-to-reach or textured areas to deter criminals from filing it off. The glue wears off rings that are worn daily, so it needs to be

Don’t expect NCAA fame from Vol basketball Don’t expect the developing Tennessee basketball team to tear up the 2016 NCAA tournament. If the Vols surprise, do expect Dave Hart to high-jump for joy and award a large raise and lifetime contract to Rick Barnes. Alas, there are no streets available for renaming. Perhaps a sidewalk? Getting something right would be very meaningful to the athletic director. The shadow of getting something wrong still hovers over the basketball neighborhood. The excitement that was Donnie Tyndall came and went, leaving the Vols without a point guard, definitive big man and go-to scorer. Winning without those basic elements wouldn’t necessarily mean the invention of a new game but it would un-

derscore the importance of really good coaching. History says Barnes is a fine coach. That he didn’t win enough to keep the Texas job is puzzling. That the man who fired him has been fired could be one piece of an explanation. Tennessee is a more difficult challenge than Texas. With the late start in recruiting, the same thing happened to Barnes that happened to Tyndall. Neither added immediate superstars. Kentucky did. Au-

burn did. Others improved. Barnes recruited bigger. Whether new Vols, collectively, equal the dearly departed Josh Richardson is just one of several pressing questions. Tennessee was 16-16 last season. If this team breaks even, it will be because one newcomer blocks a bunch of shots and Kevin Punter and Armani Moore do more that they have done. By default, those two may share ball-handling duties, log time as wings and provide leadership. It helps that Moore is one tough guy and that Punter is versatile and committed. It helps that Ray Kasongo is 6-9 and an excellent athlete. Barnes will also need talented Robert Hubbs to emerge as a real basketball player, suddenly capable of guarding somebody his size,

capable of driving to the goal and finishing a shot, capable of an all-around game well above what he has so far demonstrated. Robert was a five-star prep player. Derek Reese must be a contributor. He was second last season in rebounding. Devon Baulkman has ability and leftovers of a shoulder injury. A healthy Jabari McGhee should provide inside depth. He was lost early last season to a foot injury. Sad note: He has shrunk. He was listed at 6-8 as a freshman but is now 6-5. Detrick Mostella has been a pleasant surprise in workouts. He and Tyndall were unhappy with each other and a transfer seemed likely. Didn’t happen. Barnes says the sophomore scorer is really working to improve.

Kasongo, one of two Canadian recruits, projects as the prize new guy. Officially, he is a raw sophomore transfer from Toronto and College of Southern Idaho with minimum statistics but maximum athletic ability to go with size and strength. Unofficially, he was shipped to Kentucky for prep basketball experiences at Lick Creek and Pikeville. After that he appeared at two or three finishing schools in far-away places. He once signed with Oregon but was not admitted. Bigname coaches identified potential and joined the chase. Kansas and LSU really wanted him. Ben Howland of Mississippi State thought he had him. Tennessee associate head coach Rob Lanier, Buffalo native blessed with several Canadian con-

reapplied, he said. When deciding what to mark, homeowners should mark anything they want back, Lawson said. Insurance will replace computers or televisions, but some items are irreplaceable. Info: csiprotectprogram. org

nections, signed him. Barnes says Kasongo is learning skill development, basketball IQ, what it means to really work hard. “He’s a big body, really strong and he will help immediately as a rebounder and rim protector.” The other Canadian, 6-10 Kyle Alexander, 308 among best prospects, is third best in his family. Kyle’s father, Joseph, was a star at Niagara. Kyle’s sister, Kayla, was an all-American at Syracuse and plays in the WNBA. Kyle figures as a future. Tyndall signees 6-2 guard Shembari Phillips and 6-5 wing Admiral Schofield are more likely to help immediately. Tyndall’s departure gave them the right to go elsewhere. They stayed, a compliment to UT and Barnes. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Joining a vision By Cindy Taylor The Rev. John Gardner says he is astonished at how well the vision and ministry at First Baptist Church Powell aligns with his family’s priorities and gifting. Gardner has joined the staff at FBCP as the new worship minister. “One of the greatest things that drew us to Powell was First Baptist Academy,” he said. Gardner had the opportunity to assist in starting a classical Christian school and serving on the board before joining the teaching faculty while in Cookeville. He hails from Stevens Street Baptist Church in Cookeville, where he served in the music ministry for 16 years. Initially, his involvement was on a volunteer basis. He was given the opportunity to create and lead an

orchestra at Stevens Street while attending college at Tennessee Technological University. After graduation, Gardner founded the Stevens Street School of Performing Arts, which is now the largest performingarts school in the Upper Cumberland. Gardner holds a master’s degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and was ordained in January 2015. He says Stevens Street has always been a sending church. He has been praying with the staff there for the past few years about the possibility that God was preparing him for service elsewhere. Gardner and wife Laurie made the move to Powell last week with their three children. He says he and his family are excited to be joining what God is

doing in Powell. “We are thrilled to join a church that shares our vision for Christ-centered education for our children,” he said. Gardner says he truly loves all aspects of what he does but admits he would rather spend his time writing, planning and rehearsing music than participating in calendar meetings and setting budgets. “I love the way music ministers to those who are hurting and gives voice to those who are rejoicing in God’s goodness,” he said. “Music has the potential to unite our hearts and minds in worship like nothing else. I love leading God’s people in worship that is true and beautiful.” Gardner’s love of music carries over into his ministry to affect those he leads.

“Our Creator God has made us in His image. We bring Him glory when we exercise our creativity. I love that I am called to a position where I get to work Rev. Gardner with other believers, crafting worship services that make use of the many gifts and talents given by God to the church through its members. My greatest passion is leading God’s people in worship. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve in a place with a legacy of heartfelt worship and musical excellence. My family and I already love the community and are ready to immerse ourselves in God’s work here.” First Baptist Church Powell is at 7706 Ewing Road. Info: www.fbcpowell. org or 947-9074.

Hops and Hope By Carol Shane The Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church is so active in so many areas and its calendar so jam-packed with activities that it would take several columns to list them all. Music, yoga, coin collecting, chess, violin lessons, Spanish classes, potluck suppers – TVUUC-ers embrace life and accommodate a wide range of interests among their members. This Sunday, they’ll be hosting their annual “Hops and Hope Oktoberfest 5K and One Miler” run/walk to benefit the church’s FISH pantry. Allan Morgan, retired executive director of the Knoxville Track Club, is race coordinator for the event. “I started it 16 years ago because I had all kinds of experience with racing and runners, and because of my interest in the social justice aspect of the church,” he says. “I thought, ‘Let’s see if we can pull this off!’ And we’ve been able to make it into quite a profitable event.” FISH is an area-wide effort involving more than 20 churches. Volunteers col-

lect, bag and deliver food to those in need. In addition, TVUUC takes responsibility for purchasing food and stocking the West Knoxville Food Pantry in the high-demand month of December. The “Hops and Hope” event provides the funds each year. Participants will meet in the TVUUC parking lot and run/walk on the Third Creek Greenway, which backs up to the church. “Is it athletic?” asks Morgan. “Yes, but it’s mostly social. There’s a big party after the race.” That party features “great food and extraordinary brews,” according to the TVUUC website. It is, after all, Oktoberfest. “It’s never rained,” says Morgan. “Many times, it’s been a glorious afternoon.” The “Hops and Hope Oktoberfest 5K and One Miler” begins this Sunday, Oct. 18, at 4 p.m. at TVUUC, 2931 Kingston Pike. Participants can register online up to 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16. Race-day registration at the event venue is also available. Info: www.tvuuc.org or call 865-523-4176.

Happenings at the Ridge By Ruth White Pleasant Ridge Elementary staff and students headed into fall break with a celebration for coupon book sales. Students who sold six or more coupon books were given the opportunity to tape principal Jessica Birdsong to the wall in the school gym. After 65 students applied strips of duct tape (with one brave student putting tape over her mouth), staff members were given the green light to finish the task. The strips of tape were already cut and it would have been a shame to waste them, right? As I was leaving the building, I stopped to admire the fall decorations. Inside the lobby is a large tree (decorated with teacher wishes at the beginning of the year) and office staff member Kristy Myers dec-

d it i to spread d a little l l orated sunshine around the school. Myers is a wedding/event planner in Fountain City and following a recent wedding ceremony she was left with tons of sunflower decorations. At the front entrance of the school is a festive display of scarecrows, pumpkins, gourds and a huge pumpkin created from a pallet. The items for the display were given by parents and community members. Upcoming events at the school include Salsarita’s Night, Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Clinton Highway location. Mention Pleasant Ridge Elementary at checkout and a portion of the sales that day will go back to the school; the 4/5 Café, 6-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, and the fall carnival, Friday, Oct. 23.

Stop for a moment and think of that one teacher who made an impact on your life. I am not a betting person, I would wager that many students who have played in the bands at Powell Middle and Powell High schools would name Janet Roach if asked that question.

Roach is the band director at Powell Middle School and it’s a role that she has enjoyed for many years. She has taught all grade levels and considers students in middle school some of her favorite. “Middle school students get to make the choice to be in band and it’s nice because they are so eager to learn.” When the school year begins, Roach doesn’t expect the students to know a lot about band, but she works with them and encourages them every day. “I remind them that if they don’t get it today there is always tomorrow.” To help students, she arrives at school by 7:30 each morning so students can work and move at their own pace. “I’m here to help, where they are.” Roach’s love for the band stems from her youth. She grew up as part of the marching band – as drum

major at Fulton High School and part of the Pride of the Southland Band at UT. She now shares that love with students at Powell High School where she is the assistant band director. She enjoys watching the students grow from beginner band members in sixth grade until they graduate from high school. The PMS band has traveled to Florida six times for band competitions. They have placed Grand Champions at Universal Studios twice and in 2012 were named Best in Class. Roach enjoys traveling for competitions and the opportunity to see bands from other parts of the country. She believes that these trips give the students an experience like no other. She also believes that they prepare the students for trips with the high school, teaching them how to travel with large groups. To Roach, the Powell Middle School band is an energetic, fun-loving family. They students are eager to help one another and because of that, they get better as a group. She enjoys the job of teaching the students and taking them to competitions to show them off. Mark your calendars for Thursday, Oct. 29, and make plans to see what the band at PMS has done so far this year. The sixth grade members will perform their first concert at 6:30 p.m. in the Powell High auditorium.

Oliver Temple: early Knoxville leader When he was only 27, Oliver Perry Temple came within 316 votes of altering the course of history. Democrat Andrew Johnson was running for the third of his five terms representing East Tennessee’s 1st Congressional District. Johnson was in his prime and thought to be invincible in the 1847 race. His “stump speeches” were effective in the 1:1 debates then in fashion and he had won previous elections by as many as 1,500 votes. Temple, representing the Whig party, was still working to establish a law practice when, only three weeks before the election, he was prevailed upon to run for the seat. Landon C. Haynes, another Democrat, had

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES OLIVER PERRY TEMPLE, PART II (1820-1907) considered the odds and decided not to run against Johnson. At Jonesboro, only two days before the election, Johnson and Temple engaged in a fierce debate. Thinking Haynes would be his opponent, Johnson had attempted to appeal to Whig voters by opposing some of

the policies of Democrat President James K. Polk, although they were of the same party. By pointing out Johnson’s inconsistencies within his own party, Temple was able to win over many voters. Johnson won reelection 5,658 to 5,342, the closest of his five successful races for the U.S. Congress (1843-53). Oliver Temple had captured the attention of the public, and author William Speer would observe, “Temple, defeated as he was, felt that he was half conqueror, and Johnson, though elected, was deeply mortified and humiliated.” One wonders whether a defeated Andrew Johnson could have recovered to be

alty to the Union. In February 1861, Tennessee decided against secession by a vote of 69,000 to 58,000; but after Lincoln’s call for “75,000 volunteers to subdue the Rebellion” in April, the mood changed considerably. In June the state voted to secede by a vote of 105,000 to 47,000, and East Tennesseans cast 33,000 of those 47,000 votes. When W.G. “Parson” Brownlow, editor of the local paper, warned in August 1861 that the Confederate authorities then occupying Knoxville were planning to arrest local Unionists, Temple fled to the North but, in only a few weeks, he was able to return when he promised that he would remain neutral. During the early months of the war, he would provide legal representation for Unionists accused of such offenses as the Bridge-Burning Incident and the Great Locomotive Chase. When the Union Army entered the city in September 1863, Temple was so overjoyed that he celebrated by running the length of Gay Street behind a regiment of soldiers. After the war, he quickly formed a new law firm with Samuel Rogers and James Deaderick but was appointed chancellor of the 8th Chancery District in 1866, then moved to the 2nd Chancery District in 1870. Throughout the 1870s he spearheaded the Knoxville Industrial Association and served as president of the East Tennessee Farmer’s Convention giving numerous lectures on the importance of a diversified economy while extolling the area’s excellent climate and abundant natural resources. Temple retired from the practice of law in 1880 and was soon appointed Knox County postmaster. He published the most influential of his four books, “East Tennessee and the Civil War,” in 1899. In 1912, having long been his research assistant, his daughter completed the editing and published his fourth book, “Notable Men of Tennessee” (1833 to 1875). Temple became seriously ill after a fall in 1904 and never fully recovered. He died on Nov. 2, 1907, and was buried in Old Gray Cemetery, where a large obelisk marks the Temple family plot. He was a trustee of the University of Tennessee for over a half-century (18541907) and helped establish the school’s College of Agriculture. Hess Hall now stands on the campus where his elegant Melrose mansion once stood.

Explore Asia in

Dancers from last year’s Knox Asian Festival perform the spectacular Lion Dance. Photo submitted

By Carol Shane East Tennessee has been getting many opportunities lately to enjoy the culture and food of other countries, what with events such as A Taste of India and Greekfest. This weekend you can join other virtual travelers at Knox Asian Fest 2015 in downtown Knoxville. It’s the second year for the event, and last year was “very successful,” says festival organizer Kumi Alderman. There will be 44 tents representing eight Asian countries and plenty of fun, food and activities for the whole family. You and your kids can try on, and have your picture taken in, kimonos and samurai costumes; learn about and observe a traditional Japanese tea ceremony; take part in a Tai Chi demonstration; and browse beautiful bonsai trees. There’ll be dancing from Taiwan, Thailand, Japan and the Philippines, and handmade jewelry and other crafts for sale.

Each child can pick up a “world map fan” to carry throughout the day. They can take their maps to each country’s tent, learn how to say “thank you” in each language, and learn a bit about the country itself. “All nerds, gamers, geeks and otaku” are invited to enjoy events themed around video games, card and board games, and comics, offered by representatives from Yama-Con, Pigeon Forge’s popular annual anime convention. And of course, there will be lots of delectable food and drink. The day begins with a parade led by the Wah Lum Kung Fu School of Knoxville’s spectacular Dragon Dance, followed by representatives of each country in beautiful native costumes. There will be door prizes throughout the day and a silent auction benefiting Project Being There, which aids children living in Vietnamese orphanages.

In addition, there’s a picture contest. Snap some shots throughout the day, upload them to a designated social-media site for subsequent judging, and you may win two tickets to Dollywood, a $50 restaurant gift

card and $100 cash. Categories include best picture, best festival T-shirt and best native costume. It’s a great way to celebrate part of the “patchwork quilt” of America. “We would like to share

our culture and give kids and families a chance to experience the other side of world,” says Alderman. “Hope you can come and enjoy the day together.” The Knox Asian Festival 2015 will be held 10 a.m.-5

p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 17, at Krutch Park across from Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Admission is free. Info: www.knox asianfestival.com. Send story suggestions to news@ ShopperNewsNow.com.

‘Little Ponderosa Zoo’ banks on local talent By Betsy Pickle Finding acting talent locally to cast a movie isn’t exactly a struggle. Curt Willis, who cowrote and co-directed “The Little Ponderosa Zoo” with Luke Dye, is also an actor, so he’s worked with and knows many actors in town. But there’s something special about making new discoveries. “There were a couple of folks we cast in ‘Little Ponderosa Zoo’ that I had not worked with before that turned out amazing: Neil Friedman and James Owens,” says Willis. “Those guys just killed it. “And then there were our old standbys like Mike Stanley, Jeff Delaney and Jamison Stalsworth. We knew what they could do and plugged them in. It wasn’t hard. “You don’t have to do a whole lot of digging to find some really good acting talent here in town to shoot a film.” “The Little Ponderosa Zoo” debuted on DVD domestically last week and is playing on the Starz network this month. It’s the fourth feature film made by Willis and Rock Hurst through their production company, WILLROCK Entertainment.

Curt Willis

Charlie (Kena Holmes) is determined to keep her family’s rescue zoo afloat in “The Little Ponderosa Zoo.”

They have a partnership with Engine 15 Media, a Los Angeles-based company that provides funding and finds outlets for their films. “Little Ponderosa” has already been distributed internationally “for a while now,” says Willis. So has their previous film, “Bandit and the Saints of Dogwood,” directed by Brooks Benjamin. Both became available on DVD last week through online outlets and WalMart. “The Little Ponderosa Zoo” is set primarily at the real-life Little Ponderosa Zoo, a rescue zoo in Clinton, but scenes were also shot in Knoxville and Lenoir City. The film is about a girl named Charlie (Kena Holmes) who’s trying to help her family keep the

zoo open, despite the efforts of greedy adults who’ve learned there’s gold underneath the zoo. Willis and his partners broke the main rule of filmmaking: Never work with kids or animals. But the kids were fine, and the animals were surprisingly “fun,” even though Willis had never met an emu before. “I think I may have seen pictures of them, but I had never come face to face with one until this film. I fell in love with a camel out there, Carl the camel; I hope he’s still there. He’s in the film a lot. He actually grabs one of the bad guys and roughs him up a little bit. He’s a really sweet camel.” The hardest part of making the film was the noise.

“I don’t think we anticipated the issues with the noises,” says Willis. “They have partridges out there, emus, tigers, monkeys. It was a lot for John Puckett, who did our field audio. He did an amazing job considering the challenge he was facing with all the racket that was going on at the zoo every day.” Willis says they heard about the zoo and wrote the script around the location. Engine 15 specializes in family-friendly films, so he and Hurst are constantly working on story ideas that fit that mold. Considering their first film was a raunchy comedy and their second was a horror film, kids’ movies seem an odd choice for the pair. “We had a blast mak-

ing the (family) fi lms,” says Willis. “It’s still fi lmmaking. I tend to lean more toward the grittier, harder stuff.” But there’s something to be said for making films that people actually see. There’s been talk of a “Ponderosa” sequel, possibly with a Christmas theme. “We’ve found a nice little niche here. Getting funding for films is a very difficult thing. We’re very fortunate to have a partner in Los Angeles like Engine 15 Media

that’s allowing us to make these films,” says Willis. Still, “sometime in the near future we’d love to branch out to other things.” Meanwhile, they’ll be at their day jobs. Dye, who usually edits their projects but “jumped in” on writing and directing this time, works at RIVR Media. Willis is head of the Visit Knoxville Film Office. Hurst works in the credit-card industry. “We’re all always scheming on new projects,” says Willis.

‘Bridge of Spies’ Tom Hanks reteams with director Steven Spielberg for “Bridge of Spies,” opening Friday. Hanks plays an insurance lawyer maneuvered into a Cold War showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union. Mark Rylance, Alan Alda and Amy Ryan also star.

Veterans honored with trip on Honor Air HonorAir Knoxville took its 19th flight to Washington, D.C., last week with 130 veterans and 36 volunteer escorts. The latest flight means more than 2,500 East Tennessee veterans have traveled to Washington to see the memorials built to honor their sacrifices. This flight included Vietnam veterans as well as those who fought in World War II and the Korean War. HonorAir Knoxville is a program established and presented by Prestige Cleaners/Prestige Tuxedo to honor veterans. Covenant Health has been a major sponsor of each of the flights taken to date. The veterans were welcomed home by some 1,000 people. As they walked through red, white and blue balloon arches, veterans were greeted by patriotic music played by the Central High School marching band.

Eddie Mannis (left) and Mayor Tim Burchett (right) congratulate WW II veteran Alvin Frye, owner/operator of Fountain City Exxon, as he prepares to leave on an HonorAir flight to Washington, D.C. Eddie Mannis, president of Prestige Cleaners, said, “All veterans make a great sacrifice for their country and Prestige is proud to help honor their contributions to ensuring our freedoms.

Another HonorAir Knoxville flight is planned for the spring of 2016. As a 501(c)(3) organization, HonorAir donations are tax deductible. Each flight costs about $60,000

and there is no charge to veterans. Donations may be mailed to HonorAir Knoxville, 7536 Taggart Lane, Knoxville TN 37938. Info: honorairknox ville.com
