By Jake Mabe The new Emory Road project is running “10 percent ahead of schedule,” says Tennessee Department of Transportation regional director Steve Borden. TDOT Commissioner John Schroer toured parts of Knox and Union counties last week as part of his TDOT Projects bus tour, in which he, along with elected and transporta-

tion officials, viewed current TDOT projects as well as those listed in TDOT’s Three Year Program. During a stop in Powell, Borden said the Powell project is “doing very well. “Right now, they are doing utility work, grading work and drainage work,” Borden said. “Everything is progressing smoothly. We drove it about four weeks ago and saw

a lot of project. The contractor has gotten a great start.” The project is slated for completion Oct. 31, 2013. It will create a new four-lane Emory Road that will bypass the Powell business district and the three Powell schools. That portion of Emory Road will become a local road or a “business” stretch of Emory Road.

Cas Walker Farm and Home Hour veterans David West and Russ Jeffers were swapping stories before the East Tennessee Historical Association’s BBQ, Blue Jeans and Cas II dinner. West told about the time Cas loaded him, Red Rector, Fred Smith and a dobro player in the Opel station wagon he used to haul his hunting dogs and drove them up to Kentucky. The musicians had a gig. Cas was going to see a man about a dog. On the way, he explained why he loved his hounds so much – they’d saved him from freezing to death one cold night in the woods by piling up and letting him burrow down into them. Then he told everybody to get out of the car and he’d be back later. “He dumped me and Fred and Red and the dobro player off on a corner in the dark to wait for him. After awhile, Fred said to me, ‘David, if it gets too cold, we can just throw another dog on the pile.’ ” Jeffers, who did the show in the mid-60s, shortly after Dolly Parton departed for Nashville, thinks that giving Dolly her start and recognizing her potential might be the most important thing Cas Walker ever did. “I missed more school buses

Photo by Betty Bean because I wouldn’t leave the house until Dolly Parton finished singing,” he said. “There was something about this little voice that was so different … and it was Dolly who went on and broke the good ol’ boy network in Nashville. “She told old Porter (Wagoner) ‘I’ve gone as far as I can with you and I’ve got to move on with my life.’ Dolly was smart and tough when she had to be and she showed that women could do a lot more than sign a contract and sing

backup. If I have a hero, it’s Dolly Parton. The biggest thing about her is her heart.” West, a master banjo player whose Clinton Highway music store and dance hall Ciderville have become the unofficial Cas Walker museum, wasn’t a bit surprised at the big crowd gathered for the Blue Jeans and Cas II dinner. He says interest in the old coonhunter has never waned in the 14 years since his death. “We sell Cas Walker merchan-

dise every day – six or eight different T-shirts, fly swats, caps, Superderm Salve, all his books. We keep it going.” Right after West excused himself to do a sound check with featured entertainer Con Hunley, Jim Haslam came over to chat. When he heard Jeffers was a Farm and Home Hour alum he threw his arm around him and started singing: “Pick up the morning paper when it hits the street…” They finished up the duet, and Haslam, who probably was “fer” most everything Cas was “agin,” politically speaking (the City-County Building, the World’s Fair, any talk of a convention center) reminisced about his old nemesis: “Cas was OK,” Haslam said. “He’s part of Knoxville’s heritage with his radio and television shows … But we were on different sides, let’s put it that way. Cas didn’t like change, so we were on opposite sides most of the time.” West started the show by pointing out some Cas Walker memorabilia – the coonhunter backdrop from the TV show, the life-sized cutout of Dolly next to a dummy decked out in one of Walker’s suits sitting in Cas’s favorite chair with a stuffed raccoon between them. Con Hunley then sang three songs and owned the room. To page A-3

Coffee Break with

I still can’t quite get the hang of … Picking a five-string banjo, even though my father was adept at it with a missing forefinger on his pickin’ hand.

What is the best present you ever received in a box? My wedding ring, which came from a box and was placed on my finger about 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18, 1953, in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dresden, Tenn.

Jean Richardson

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

Jean Richardson served 60 years as a pastor, 18 of which were spent at Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Powell. Jean was also the second president of the Powell B&P. He holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in divinity. Jean and his wife, Regena, have two children: Jeana Daniel and Sheena Beal, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Get to know Jean over a Coffee Break.

“A job worth doing is worth doing well.”

What is your social media of choice? I don’t tweet. I do text. That is one way I can be sure my kids and grandkids will respond quickly. Before I can lay down the phone, they will return my text with three pages of their own.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? I find it difficult to claim superlatives such as favorite, most and biggest. I don’t have a favorite quote from TV or a movie. There are a few memorable ones. An example is a scene from “Gone with the Wind.” Rhett Butler is standing in the doorway as he is leaving Scarlett O’Hara. She cries and asks what is she to do. He says, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a d—!”

What are you guilty of?

What is the worst job you have ever had?

Sometimes I am too quick to speak and too slow to listen. (James 1:19 KJV)

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

What is your favorite material possession?

I don’t know. It may not be flattering and I may not want to know.

My wedding ring I have worn for 59 years.

What are you reading currently? “The Litigators” by John Grisham. Reference materials in preparation for a sermon.

What was your most embarrassing moment? It was in a Sunday evening service in the Beaver Creek Church. I was reading the scripture lesson from Ephesians with careful enunciation and projection of my voice so no one would miss a word. It happened when I read verse 16 of chapter 6: “Take the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to quench the fiery darts of hell.” I carelessly transposed the F and the D. It came out as “diery f…” well, you get the picture.

What are the top three things on your bucket list? 1. Spend a few days in England, Scotland and Ireland visiting the homeland of my and Regena’s ancestors. 2. Stay hale and hearty until I die. 3. Never jump out of an airplane in free fall prior to opening the parachute.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Learn to be quicker to listen and slower to speak.

What is your passion? Passion is one of those in-words with a new meaning nowadays. Everyone must be “passionate” about something but I don’t know how to answer right now.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? My father and my grandfather Richardson, both deceased. Only they have answers to questions I have about my family tree.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? There is no available space big enough to answer that question. Many people have carried me, cared for me, considered my frailties and loved me anyway.

Years ago, in another state, I received a phone call. “Jean, come quickly. My husband just shot and killed himself!” I rushed to the home, arriving before the police, the ambulance and his two teenage sons. A single-shot 22 caliber rifle lay by his side in the bathroom. In one hand he clenched an unspent bullet, which I still have. I cleaned up the unpleasant mess in the bathroom to protect the mother and sons from the gruesome task.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? Are you kidding me? As a child, there were no Saturday morning cartoons, unless you can count a long and skinny-legged kid with oversized ears hoeing in the garden.

What’s one place in Powell everyone should visit? The restored airplane service station.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? I would say “thank you” to Sandra Clark and the staff of the Powell Shopper-News for their long and effective service to our community. Hey, I just did it! – S. Clark Have a friend or neighbor you think we should get to know? Nominate them for Coffee Break by emailing Jake Mabe at JakeMabe1@aol.com or calling 922-4136.

‘The real deal’ TRAK sponsors festival at Butler Farm By Sandra Clark Mayor Tim Burchett got it right when he called Josephine Butler and the Therapeutic Riding Academy of Knoxville “the real deal.” Burchett spoke at the group’s Fall Festival at Doc’s – the farm home of Josephine and the late Dr. Bill Butler in Karns. It was a fundraiser for the academy which serves 17 young people and has the capacity to serve 25 with five horses and multiple volunteers. The director is Stacie Hirsch. Beth Butler Childress said her dad had a passion for taking care of animals and serving others. “Mom has continued his legacy by using the farm for TRAK.” Mary Anne Prueitt spoke of her grandson, Logan,

who rides at TRAK one day a week. “He started coming here when he was 7. He went right up to the biggest horse,” she said. “Now you would think that boy grew up on a horse and was born in Texas. He’s one happy little boy.” Logan had a huge support team including Tronda, Tara and Joe O’Brien, along with Larry Williford. Hirsch’s mom, Cathy Pethel, spoke about her breast cancer. “My treatment plan was to trust in God, use limited surgical intervention, change my diet and start exercising. We need fresh thinking (about cancer),” she said. “We have some control. It’s not just our genes that control our outcomes.” The afternoon event featured pony rides, food and cider, TRAK T-shirts and Tristan sits tall during a demonstration lesson, assisted by games.

Eatinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cake in Halls

Jobs, schools and guns State House District 13 candidate Gloria Johnson took Tuesday night off to allow county Democratic Party chair Gloria Johnson to go to a debate-watching party and sample some fried cornbread. She was happy with both. She was pleased that her guy showed up this time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but what the heck is fried cornbread? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of like a cornbread version of a funnel cake,â&#x20AC;? she said of the Big Fattyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature dish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incredible.â&#x20AC;? Johnson, a special education teacher at Richard Yoakley School, spends her free time campaigning.

What do her students think about their teacher running for office? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really talk about it at school, so they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think much about it until they saw my signs,â&#x20AC;?

Beaver Brook Country Club was the setting Thursday evening for a fundraiser staged by the Halls Republican Club. The event included auction items and baked goods contributed by officeholders and other party officials.

Not surprisingly, education issues are a top priority. And in her view, education is inextricably linked to employment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A highly-educated workforce is key to a healthy economy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tennessee has been providing a great education on a minimal budget. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to push forward. We have to do better in preparing students to be competitive, not just here, but with the whole world.â&#x20AC;? Johnson is deeply concerned about the General Assemblyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent education initiatives, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fan of the Tennessee Virtual Academy, the cyber-school administered by Union County using curriculum and teachers provided by K12 Inc, a Virginia forprofit corporation founded by junk bond felon Michael Milken.

GOP headquarters aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;buzz If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever watched a beehive, you have a pretty good idea what Knox County Republican headquarters was like the evening of the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debate watch party last week. The life-size cardboard cutout of Mitt Romney was about the only thing that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in perpetual motion. And even it had lots of company as the party faithful crowded around to have their picture taken with the likeness of their favorite candidate. Volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of them UT students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were working phone banks for local candidates. Others were working the phones for the Romney campaign, making calls to Virginia and other states considered still in play. Standing by to answer questions and greet visitors were former vice mayor Joe Bailey, who is co-chair

Anne Hart

of Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign in Tennessee; Alexander Waters, Knox County Romney chair; and Ruthie Kuhlman, who wants to be county GOP chair when Ray Hal Jenkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; term expires next year. All of the phone activity stopped promptly at 8 p.m., and then folks hit the buffet line to chow down on goodies brought in by wellwishers, sandwiches, potato salad and brownies donated by David Kiger of The Orangery, just across the street from headquarters. Anne Marie DeMoes was in charge of debate night set-up, working with Edie

Lunch with the mayor Mayor Rogero is working hard to persuade city voters to support the city charter amendment on pensions. It is the last item on the ballot after the county charter amendments. City Council approved it by a vote of 7-2 with Marshall Stair and Duane Grieve voting against. While Stair voted against it, he is not working to defeat it Nov. 6. Rogero has appeared on various talk shows and before civic groups. She is lobbying citizens including this writer to support it. The proposal is designed to reduce surging costs in the current pension plan. Rogero inherited this issue and now has to lead the effort to place pensions on sounder financial footing. The major criticism of the plan is that it does not go far enough to reduce costs for current employees but only impacts employees

Victor Ashe

who go to work for the city after Jan. 1, 2013. For new city employees, it clearly cuts costs substantially. However, the benefit of that will not be felt for 15 to 20 years when new employees who worked at least 10 years start to retire at age 63. By increasing the vesting period from 5 to 10 years, it guarantees that future mayors and their political appointees will likely not be eligible for a city pension since mayors can serve only 8 years under term limits. While it is a valid comment that costs for current city employees need to be reduced (and the plan does not do that), the defeat of

Clemons, Suzanne Dewar and Manuela Ptacek, who registered everyone for the door prize. The crowd included lots of folks you would expect to see at such a gathering and some newcomers, like Terry Adkins, a Powell native and local attorney who said this is his first involvement with a campaign. He was making telephone calls to Virginia and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One fellow I talked with said he was undecided. He had so many questions he kept me on the phone for half an hour.â&#x20AC;? At 9 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, the group filled every seat in the house to watch the debate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to do what most folks do: talk back to the TV. One wag, obviously irritated at some of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I understand why Elvis shot up so many TV sets.â&#x20AC;?

this proposal would leave the city with no plan to curtail any costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; present or future â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a huge financial burden for city taxpayers. Voters should vote â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? on the city charter amendment and hope the mayor and council face the question of current employees in the next several years. A few weeks ago at Ijams Symphony in the Park, I purchased a donated lunch with the mayor at the silent auction and next Monday, Oct. 29, Joan and I will be lunching with Mayor Rogero at Ijams Nature Center. Ijams did especially well on this item as Stephanie Wallace, wife of council member George Wallace, was also bidding on the lunch which caused the final price to escalate. But all to a good cause which is Ijams. The truth is that both of us could probably invite the mayor to lunch and she would happily come. â&#x2013; Judge Wheeler Rosenbalmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement

Dooley is no Spurrier

The angels sigh

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

nder the general heading of how long should it take to restore a hobbling football program, otherwise logical people keep trying to compare Derek Dooley and Steve Spurrier. I understand that with a twist or two, numbers can be used to prove almost anything, but Tennessee and South Carolina are farther apart than the proverbial apples and oranges. Consider expectations: Before Spurrier, Lou Holtz gave the Gamecocks hope but little else. In all of history, USC had finished in the AP top 25 only five times. Only twice had it gone bowling in consecutive years. Tennessee, measured in total victories, is one of the top 10 programs of all time. In Big Orange Country, good has never been good enough. Recruiting? South Carolina has geographical advantages. It also has Clemson competing for in-state talent. The first reaction to this current UT dilemma is to blame Dooley for dragging his feet. Spurrier wrested the Gamecocks away from the taxidermist and immediately transformed them into wonderful winners. Well, not exactly. Holtz had a couple of good foundation years and leveled off. Spurrier went 7-5, 8-5, 6-6, 7-6 and 7-6 before this upswing. Tennessee defeated South Carolina as recently as 2009. Over five seasons, Spurrier was 1822 against the SEC. To Spurrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit, he has not fathered anything as ugly as Dooley 2011 but Steviewonder never had to face a Kentucky wide receiver playing quarterback in the season finale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fueled with the motivation of ending a quartercentury of frustration. The Spurrier challenge (after cashing his final NFL check) was simple compared to the Dooley project. South Carolina was delighted to have a famous coach, even one inclined toward golf and boogie-boarding. Spurrier came with football credibility, Heisman Trophy as a player, national championship and a bunch of other medals and ribbons as a coach. What a show when he threw his visor and went scowling and stomping along the sideline. It was much better than orange pants. From the start, Derek Dooley was a question

It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who brought you good news by the Holy Spirit sent from heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;things into which angels long to look! (I Peter 1:12 NRSV) Day breaks and the boy wakes up And the dog barks and the birds sing And the sap rises and the angels sigh. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Copperline,â&#x20AC;? James Taylor)

In this Oct. 8, 2011, file photo, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier yells onto the field during the third quarter in a game against Kentucky at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C. The Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ball Coach and his Gamecocks will host the Volunteers Saturday at noon. AP Photo/Rich Glickstein mark. The emergency replacement for the migratory Lane Kiffin didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much on his resumĂŠ. He schooled under the great Nick Saban but he did not win at Louisiana Tech. He did have a famous name and a law degree. That he was available on short notice was of greater significance. Tennessee fans wondered aloud why athletic director Mike Hamilton couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do better â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe somebody like Jon Gruden or Vince Lombardi. It now appears Tennessee needed miraculous assistance. Fans were slow to realize roster shortages. Only

a few got really excited about minimum progress. Massive turnover of assistant coaches, good or bad, was confusing. Recruiting appeared encouraging until compared with the big boys in the SEC. Now we know catching up, at the rate we are going, is a slow process. Comparing Dooley and Spurrier is unfair. Tasks and conditions are not equal. They climb different mountains. South Carolina patience has been rewarded. There is no way to tell if time is all Dooley needs. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero. com.

n a recent Friday I drove over the mountains into North Carolina to visit my daughter Eden. It was a beautiful October day, blue skies, crisp air, an occasional tree beginning to show color. I drove back home on Sunday afternoon and noticed still more vibrant color. The hills were wearing plaid by then: gold and russet and green woven together like some autumnal tartan. The slanting sun threw shadows across the ridges and my heart ached just a little. I love fall, even with its twinge of sadness. My mind tells me it is just one arc of an enormous circle, but my soul knows it is the beginning of an end. The year is dying. Even the foods of autumn are different. The fall vegetables are sturdi-

er, plainer: parsnips, carrots, yams. A mug of Earl Grey tea hits the spot on an October afternoon and a slab of rye bread, spread thick with butter, is the perfect accompaniment. I haul out the cookbooks, looking for stew recipes and casseroles and something fabulous to do with apples. Sweaters and thick socks and knitted scarves come out of the closets and I try to find just the right setting on the thermostat to keep me comfortable and my checkbook in the black. It is a time for reading. As the days grow shorter, I keep at least one book going, sometimes two: a novel and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;how-to.â&#x20AC;? It is a time for writing. I buy elegant stationery, writing long, chatty, newsy let-

ters to my friends far away; at least they are written in my head. Actually getting them onto the stationery is more problematic. I study the woodpile and calculate when I should build the first fire, knowing even as I stand looking at the logs that I will wait until one of my girls is home to enjoy the fire with me. And I remember. I remember deaths: my father, a beloved uncle, a marriage. I remember harvest moons, apples baked on sticks over a fire and hiking in the Delaware Water Gap. I remember camping trips and football games and Halloween parties. And one last, precious October memory. I remember the night during a revival in a small country church, when I gave my life to the Lord. On the way home that night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just Daddy and me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I saw a smudge of light in the sky and asked him what it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like a comet, honey,â&#x20AC;? he answered. And it was, the first one I had ever seen. A sign, a blessing, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;You go, girl!â&#x20AC;? And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure the angels sighed.

Watching the water rise MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell Of all the events that have impacted the Village of Concord – marble quarry closings, World War II, the decline of the railroad – the construction of Fort Loudoun Dam, which formed Fort Loudoun Lake, ranks very high on the list. Although the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) had given subtle hints that the impact on Concord might be significant, I don’t think many residents realized that it would result in the inundation of about one-third of the village. In 1942, the number 877 became significant because residents of all the property located

below that line on a contour map were forced to move. This included some 42 homes and the Southern Railway Depot on the south side of the present-day railroad tracks. Our home was on the south side of the tracks and I guess I could say literally that I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. My family was fortunate to find a property for sale near the top of the hill just above Concord Presbyterian Church. I am not sure of the compensation amount given by TVA, but considering the fact that existing properties were very limited, I am sure they paid top

dollar for our new home. At least one family disassembled their home plank by plank and put it back together on another lot, but most families just moved their personal belongings and let TVA take care of razing the house. This was an emotional time for village residents who felt their homes had been “taken.” And there was considerable stress in trying to find another place to live. Years later, it was not uncommon to see former residents standing on the railroad tracks, trying to envision where their home had been. Our home was located near the tracks, and when the lake is down in the winter, you can see the outline of foundations. Although I was very young, I can remember standing on the tracks with my parents and watching the water slowly rise over our foundation. Although TVA removed most of the small brush, the larger trees were simply cut and tied down. Over the years these became good

fishing spots. To that extent, the older residents had a decided advantage in knowing where to catch the big game fish like largemouth bass. The lake did, however, provide a great playground, particularly for those who liked speed boats, as they were called, and those who enjoyed water skiing. But I am not aware of any local residents who owned this type of craft. Most were small fishing boats, or John Boats, with small outboard motors. Many of the locals built their boats in their backyards or garages and we undertook such a venture. With the aid of my brotherin-law Alvin Smith, we built a nice fishing boat in our garage. We did it during the winter months, and I remember I could hardly wait until spring when we intended to launch it. When the time came, we loaded it on a flatbed trailer, moved it to the lake and gradually pushed it into the water. It had hardly cleared the bank when it sank in

about 2 feet of water. I couldn’t believe all the work that went into the project just to have it stay afloat about two minutes. However, my dad had forgoten to tell me that was the plan. You could not fit the decking close together because the water would cause the wood to swell and pop off the planks. So, after the boat had been sunk about a week, we pulled it out and caulked the joints and it floated. There are not many villagers left who remember the water rising over the foundations of their homes. And time has served its purpose in removing most of those unpleasant memories. Several years ago, an Elia Kazan-directed movie titled “Wild River,” starring Montgomery Clift, Lee Remick and Jo Van Fleet, told the story of a family who were forced to move from their farm to make way for a new lake. And I guess the drama depicted in that film would have seemed familiar to many of the residents of Concord Village in 1942.

Looming in the future By Cindy Taylor Deep in the wilds of the West Virginia woods and a whole lifestyle away lies the Canaan (pronounced Kanain) Valley. If you travel far enough into the valley you can find a gold mine. Not in the literal sense; but to those who stumble across Ben’s Old Loom Barn there is a true sense of discovery. Unfamiliar words are tossed about by those who work there, such as weft, warp, raddle and shuttle. These are terms used in the art of weaving. Phyllis Helmick and April Welsh are two of the talented folks who work the business located in Davis, W.Va. They are busy setting up one of April’s designs on a loom that sits next to one dating back to the Civil War. “We use a lot of cotton and wool,” says Helmick. “Alpaca is a favorite but very

few people few peo pe ople want to pay the price for it.” Dorothy Mayor Thompson, the founder of the business and wife to the barn’s namesake, began teaching weaving in a one-room schoolhouse. The school’s original alphabet now hangs in the barn. The old Civil War loom, built by Dorothy’s father, holds a place of honor there, hence the name Ben’s Old Loom Barn. Thompson grew up during the Great Depression and was a student in weaving with master weaver Lou Tate at the Loom House in Kentucky. During World War II, Thompson went to work with her mother, Rose Mayor, teaching in the Weaving Room at the Arthurdale Center. She met and married Ben Thompson. The two came to the farm in Canaan where Thompson taught weaving until her death in

by those who work at the barn are for sale and include shawls, table runners and gloves. The high cost of raw materials today makes it difficult to keep the price down. “The cost of yarn can equal $20 a pound just for the

cheap materials,” said Welsh, who observed the original looms had punch cards and could be considered one of the first computers. The Canaan Weavers Guild meets each month at the barn to carry on the centuries-old tradition of weaving.

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener Many times when a person goes to the chiropractor he or she is under the impression that a bone is out of place and pinching a nerve. He or she believes that if the bone is put back in place the problem will be permanently fixed. This could not be any farther from the truth. On most occasions, the pain is Dr. Wegener a result of injury to the soft tissues of the body. Soft tissues are basically everything but the bone. This includes muscles, ligaments, tendons, joint capsules, discs, nerves and fascia. After being injured, soft tissues heal by a relatively complex process, involving three phases. Phase One, Inflammation: Normal soft tissues have a crisscross pattern that gives them strength in all directions of force. When soft tissues are torn, their fibers are disrupted in a manner similar to the tearing of a piece of paper. Once these tissues have torn, they will heal in three distinct phases. The first step is the acute inflammation phase, also known as swelling. This phase and swelling will last for about 72 hours after an injury. During this phase, the tissues continue to swell causing more pain and discomfort to the injured area. Phase Two, Regeneration: The second phase of healing, called regeneration,

begins about three days after an injury. During this phase, the tears in the tissues begin to accumulate small protein cells called collagen. These cells create a glue that ﬁlls the gap in the tissues caused by the tear. This laying down of the collagen glue during the regeneration phase will take six to eight weeks to complete. After this phase, no more glue will be laid down. The glue is what will become scar tissue. When the glue is making scar tissue in the injured area it is being laid down in a weaker more irregular pattern and not in the stronger, crisscross consistent pattern. After all the glue is in place and the scar tissue has been formed, the healing process is still not yet complete. Phase Three, Remodeling: The ﬁnal phase is the remodeling phase. This phase takes up to 12 months. During this phase, the irregular pattern of scar tissues will line up in the proper direction to create a better quality of healing. Therefore, remodeling is a motion-dependent phase that governs the quality of healing in the tissues. Next time: Three problems with healing

but this 100 percent rating shows we are doing our very best for our customers. The Housing Choice voucher program helps lowincome families rent homes on the private market with vouchers that reduce housing costs based on annual adjusted gross income. Qualifying families are typically those displaced from their homes through fire, flood and other disasters or relocated through programs like our current revitalization project in the Walter P. Taylor community. At KCDC, our goal is to improve neighborhoods and communities by helping to provide quality affordable housing and fostering selfsufficiency. I am extremely proud that HUD recognizes the excellent job our Knoxville team is doing for our community.
