By Ruth White The Powell Playhouse presented “Arsenic and Old Lace,” directed by playhouse founder Nita Buell Black.

Hutchison tops HPUD list By Shannon Carey The Hallsdale Powell Utility District Board of Commissioners voted Wednesday to submit Tim Hutchison, Todd Cook and Joe McDonald to Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett as candidates to replace board chair Jim Hill. In September, Burchett rejected a list which included Hill, the first time in HPUD history that a mayor had rejected the board’s slate of candidates. The nominating committee included board member Kevin Julian, HPUD president Darren Cardwell and HPUD employee Sandy Liford. The committee interviewed 16

Sitting down for a midday chat with Charlene Minefield is tricky. Her cellphone rings incessantly and the incoming calls trigger brief, rapid-fire outgoing messages alerting her staff that Dr. X is going to be 30 minutes late or that patient Y needs to be brought down to be prepped. Then she picks up her face-toface conversation exactly where she left off. Charlene Minefield (pronounced Minny-field) is a model

of efficiency. By noon, she’s been on the job nearly seven hours. “On a typical day, I get here about 5:15 or 5:20. That’s my quiet time, when I read my emails. Around 6, I’ll go to the front desk, look at my add-ons and start calling my doctors, telling them what time I expect them to be here. The staff starts rolling through around 6:30. “These guys will allow me to look at their cases and I arrange them – we try to do the more complex cases early,” Minefield said. “Usually when doctors first come here, they say ‘Don’t mess with my schedule.’ Then, when

What is your passion? Working with the Heiskell Community Center – working to meet the needs of our citizens and trying to build a better and safer community.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? Elvis – I would love to hear him sing one more time and talk about his faith.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?

Janice White

Janice White pops up everywhere in Powell. She retired after owning and operating Creative Design, a wholesale floral business, for more than 25 years. And now she’s the consummate volunteer. She works for Powell Florist at holidays to keep up with trends, and says it’s fun to spend somebody else’s money at the market! Janice got involved with the Heiskell Community Center shortly after retiring in 2007. She says: “The Center has grown in the last few years and we are currently working hard to build a new Community Center that will have space for our senior program, youth and adult sports programs, and to host community events. “We will begin fundraising after the first of the year and hope to have property bought and be ready to start building within the next year or so. The senior program has grown from an initial 23 people to more than 100 at some meetings.” Last year Janice started the Totes of Love project in which many of the seniors sew totes from fabric donated by local members of the American Society of Interior Designers. “We then fill the totes with personal hygiene items and school supplies and donate to local schools. Last year we donated 102 bags and this year our goal is 150.” Her volunteer work was recently recognized when she was chosen as one of 30 members of the Knox County CAC Leadership Class of 2013. She’s eager to learn about programs to benefit her neighbors – to “be aware of services available to our community.” Janice has been married to Marvin White, a retired boilermaker, for 27 years. Son and daughter-in-law Matthew and Daphne live in Mt. Juliet where Matthew is a biologist for TDOT and Daphne works in an environmental lab. There are no grandchildren, but two grand dogs, Dash and Sherman. Janice has been a member of Powell Business and Professional Association for the past decade and was chosen 2010 Woman of the Year for her work with the Heiskell Community Center. She grew up in Heiskell and graduated from Powell High School. Here’s a Q&A with Janice White:

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? My favorite movie is “Driving Miss Daisy” so just about anything she said is my favorite. I often say I want to be like Miss Daisy when I get old. My husband informs me that I already am.

I had many teachers who gave me inspiration, but the one that influenced me the most is Nita Buell-Black. She was my teacher when I was 11 years old and I will never forget her telling our class that just because we were from the country we didn’t have to limit ourselves to just our local surroundings. She gave me the idea that anything was possible no matter who you were or where you came from.

I still can’t quite get the hang of … … driving a stick shift – it totally makes no sense to me

What are you guilty of? I once almost pushed my then mother-in-law down in order to escape a snake on the path. I am terrified of snakes and would probably hurt someone in order to get out of the way of one. I am also guilty of being a chocoholic.

What is your favorite material possession? An antique lamp that was given to me by my grandmother when I was 13.

What are you reading currently? A murder mystery, and always the newest Southern Living Magazine

What was your most embarrassing moment? There have been many, but one of the worst (and later funniest) was many years ago I thought I recognized the guy in front of me at a service station. I carried on quite a conversation with him (even though he was answering my questions very hesitantly). It was not until I went in to pay for my gas and got a little closer to the guy that I realized I did not know him, but in order to keep my composure, I bade him a fond farewell when I left the station and looked in my rearview mirror to see him staring in my direction with a very puzzled look on his face.

What are the top three things on your bucket list? To be in Rockefeller Plaza during Christmas. To return to Hawaii on an extended vacation. To travel to Italy to see places my father saw when he served in the Army in World War II.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why? I don’t know what others say about me, but they probably say I am driven. When I see something I want to accomplish I can’t stop until it’s completed.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

What is the best present you ever received in a box? My mother crocheted a baby afghan and gave it to me for my son before he was born.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? Life is grand if you don’t weaken.

What is your social media of choice? Newspaper

What is the worst job you have ever had? In my business we cleaned silk trees and florals in hotels, restaurants, etc. One job I had was at a large hotel in Gatlinburg. While we were cleaning the tree and cleaning out the greenery under the tree, I discovered that someone had vomited in the greenery. Best lesson learned here – always wear gloves.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon? Mighty Mouse, because he could fly and always was in the right and rescued everyone

What irritates you? People who take advantage of others and use the system for their benefit when they don’t deserve it

What’s one place everyone should visit? That’s easy – Heiskell Community Center

What is your greatest fear? That I won’t live long enough to finish everything I’ve started

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? Just forget about schedules and meetings and take off on a cruise around the world. – 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.

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • OCTOBER 29, 2012 • A-3

Powell grads excel with support from alumni By Jacki Kirk A recent visit with Michele L i nd s ay, registrar and college career and scholarship coordinator gave me a goldmine of information regarding Lindsay scholarships for our Powell High School seniors. Lindsay has been at PHS for five years, and prior to this, the Bearden High School graduate was at Bearden for 19 years. She is a warm and caring resource for our students. Her office walls are covered

with pennants from various local and not-so-local colleges, as well as the armed forces, and there are numerous pamphlets and forms to help students apply for scholarships. Last year, her daughter, Canaan Lindsay, received the J. D. Jett scholarship at the annual alumni dinner. J. D.’s daughter, Vivian McFalls, presented the award. Canaan is studying for a nursing degree and plays volleyball for Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens, Tenn. PHS students number approximately 1,365 for the 2012-2013 school year, with approximately half of them applying for scholarships at four-year colleges,

two-year colleges or vocational institutions. Scholarship money for the 2012 graduating class was $7,751,172; which included all offers, including the HOPE and TN Achieves scholarships. This sum has increased for the past several years. HOPE scholarships (from the state’s lottery) are $2,000 for community colleges and $4,000 for fouryear Tennessee schools, with some private institutions honoring the Hope as well. The PHS Alumni Scholarships are often a much needed add-on to other scholarships, but are sometimes the only scholarship a student receives.

Michele Lindsay provides a monthly newsletter which provides pertinent information to assist students and their parents in applying for the many scholarships available. Listed in the Oct. 17 newsletter are some 14 scholarships, and we hope the PHS Alumni Scholarship information will be added soon. The PHS Alumni Scholarship fund has awarded some $87,000 since its inception in 1964 – and we hope to add dollars to the scholarship kitty by donations from alumni. Won’t you add our next meeting to your calendar. It’s the first Saturday in April – always! (April 6, 2013). Info: Jacquelyn865@gmail.com.

Surgery boss to, they go to the love shack. Sometimes the physicians have to take me to the Love Shack. We just share love in there.� “She runs the place,� says Dr. Richard Briggs, who has known Minefield since he came to work as a cardiac surgeon at the former St. Mary’s 21 years ago. “She makes the surgeons show up on time. I have seen her back surgeons against the wall, sticking her finger in their chest saying, ‘If you’re late one more time, you won’t work in my operating room again.’� Minefield, whose first job out of Austin-East High School in 1979 (she graduated a year early) was working a tray line in the dietary department for a nun called Sister Ethel. She had moved on up to the position of surgical scrub tech by the time Briggs arrived. He says she snookered him at first. “When I first came here, she was washing instruments, which is an entrylevel, minimum wage job. Then they put her on my open heart team, and the first thing I heard out of her was this little humble meek voice, ‘Dr. Briggs, please be nice.

From page A-1 I’m just a poor little black girl‌’ But I found out pretty quickly that she was very intelligent, a very hard worker and a very special person. “She started out at the very bottom and has worked her way up. “The surgeons across this city would tell you that this is the best run operating room in town, and she’s been recruited all over town. There’s very, very strong competition for the best people, and I’m convinced that if she’d had the opportunity starting out, she could be a high-powered CEO. If she were in the Army with me, she’d be a general.â€? Minefield is modest about her accomplishments, choosing instead to emphasize the hard work that’s gotten her where she is today. She lists the jobs she’s had and the education she has pursued while working full-time – an associate’s degree, R.N. certification and now, she’s working on a bachelor’s degree in nursing, which she will complete next spring. Minefield says she’d have a hard time keeping all the balls in the air without the support of her husband, Cassius Minefield, who does most

of the cooking and helps keep the household running right. This is a second marriage for the Minefields, and together they have five children and seven grandchildren. Her youngest daughter, Kierra, is studying nursing at East Tennessee State University. It’s not all work for Minefield, who has forged strong personal relationships with her co-workers. She looks forward to annual “girls trips� with five other nurses, the highlight of which was perhaps a trip to Los Angeles that snagged her an appearance on “The Price is Right.� “They interviewed over 700 people and Charlene was picked to be a contestant,� Briggs (whom Minefield calls “Uncle�) said. “We waited eight or nine hours in line for Bob Barker – they (her traveling companions) all hated me,� she said. But long hours don’t faze someone who regularly logs 12-hour workdays. “I believe in leading by example, because it’s not fair to ask somebody to stay over unless I do it too, no matter how many hours it takes. I’m going to stay right beside them and help them.�

Minefield clearly loves her staff and the physicians with whom she works. “I’ve got a great group of doctors who have helped me a lot. We went to Haiti together three weeks after the earthquake. There were five surgeons and me. The orthopedic guys did leg fractures and arms, and a couple of days I worked in the OR with Dr. Briggs. He’s awesome, just awesome.� Like Briggs and others who work there, Minefield has persevered through uncertain times as her hospital transitioned from St. Mary’s to Mercy to Tennova, but her devotion is unflagging. “This has been my home,� she said. “This is like a family.�

Hutchison tops HPUD list rankings up to the commissioners. Before voting on the three names, commissioner Bob Crye said he had access to the candidates’ applications but did not participate in the interviews. “I may not have come up with these three people if I had,� he said, but he ultimately voted to approve the committee’s recommendations, as did Julian and Hill.

From page A-1

Hill made a motion to rank the candidates with Hutchison first, Cook second and McDonald third, insisting that Hutchison was the most qualified candidate for the position. The motion carried with Hill and Julian voting for and Crye abstaining. Once Burchett receives the list, he will have 30 days to appoint a commissioner or reject the list, starting the process again.

with attack pieces on Gloria Johnson. These pieces are ineffective and come across as juvenile. It’s doubtful if they help and the mailers could actually hurt Loe. Mailers of different shapes and sizes with silly photos of Johnson make unsubstantiated claims that she is beholden to liberal special interest groups but fail to identify a single group by name. There is no proof to validate the charges. Whoever is writing/approving these attack pieces at GOP headquarters in Nashville is failing the credibility test. These mailers suggest Johnson backs amnesty for illegal immigrants and same-sex marriage. Actually, that is a non-issue as the Tennessee Constitution since 2006 has prohibited same-sex marriage. Loe has avoided the issue. There are more significant and immediate issues such as jobs, education, transfer of Lakeshore Park to the city from the state, greenway funding, roads, Henley Street bridge completion, party registration for voters, taxes and mental health concerns to name a few. Voters hope to receive positive mailers actually for Johnson or Loe as opposed to negative attack pieces.

Hopefully, some will outline real issues. The email for Gloria Johnson is votegloriajohnson@gmail.com, and for Gary Loe it is garyloe@ comcast.net. Mayor Madeline Rogero is expected to use her political organization to assist Johnson. Loe hopes to benefit from a strong Romney showing in the district, and last Friday Gov. Haslam headlined a breakfast for him at Rankin’s. Loe comes across as a nice person who looks much younger than his 55 years (he is a runner). His public positions on many issues are largely unknown (such as his refusal to comment on the closing of Belle Morris as a voting place) but the same could be said for Johnson. Both favor more jobs, but all the candidates say that this year. A Romney victory in District 13 could carry Loe into office. Massive early voting in Knox County seems overwhelmingly for Romney. Johnson would be well advised to advertise herself as a Bredesen, Schumpert and Wayne Ritchie type Democrat as opposed to being an Obama Democratic delegate in Charlotte. Knox Countians are used to voting for those three Democrats, along with Rogero. Johnson has raised more

money than Loe which is unusual for a Knox Democrat, but shows the depth of her effort. Current Rep. Harry Tindell has stayed neutral in the campaign. It is unusual that he has not endorsed his party’s nominee. ■Deborah Stevens is an applicant for the Wheeler Rosenbalm circuit court judge position. She is managing partner of the prominent Lewis King law firm and an experienced trial attorney. No woman has been circuit court judge in Knox County. Other applicants are expected to surface. Already Ray Jenkins and Kristi Davis are mentioned. ■Morris Kizer, former city law director for Mayor Haslam, told this writer he would not be an applicant for this judicial appointment. He is currently a special justice on the State Supreme Court to hear the John Hooker lawsuit appeal. ■U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, Blue Dog Democrat from Nashville, will be honored at a fundraiser organized by former state Rep. Wayne Ritchie Tuesday, Oct. 30, at Litton’s. ■Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican leader, was here last week with Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey to host a fundraiser for Virginia Senate nominee George Allen.

Duncans feed the hungry

The occasion has always been incredibly well organized, and this year was no exception. While people started gathering outside at 4:30 in long lines for the event that didn’t start until 5:30, once inside, the food lines moved quickly. The UT Pride of the Southland Band was fantastic, as always, as was the Crown College choir. But perhaps because of my absence for a few years, and maybe because I had gone early to sit outside on the plaza in the warm autumn sunshine and do some “people watching,� I noticed

a stark difference from other years: the crowd. Many, many of those attending were there for only one reason: they were hungry – not hungry like those of us who might skip lunch on a busy work day, but deep-down hungry, and likely homeless as well. They ate as much as they could hold, and tucked away still more in pockets and backpacks to be eaten later. No one chastised them for taking extra. It was part of the plan – the plan to feed the “have-nots� as well as the “haves.� So while there was plenty

The world has changed dramatically since the early 1970s when the first Rep. Duncan was in office and hosted that original barbecue. We’re in tough economic times and a lot of people are suffering. The Duncan family has our gratitude for feeding so many desperately hungry people. That’s real constituent service.

We heard that the Major used to like to make breakfast for his family, so‌. “Now, if I want supplies from up here, I will come during the day, and most everyone else will as well.â€? She’s had other moments that have raised the hair on the back of her neck, and wasn’t surprised when a team of ghost hunters spent a night at Greystone recently and reported that there are five ghostly spirits in the building.

Greystone haunted? By Betty Bean Lori Tucker led the way into the employee break rooms on the third floor of Greystone, the stately Victorian mansion that houses WATE-TV. It was designed and built in 1885 by Civil War veteran/U.S. Attorney/coal baron/landholder Major Eldad Cicero Camp, who for a time used the upper floor as Camp’s Home for Friendless Women. “This is where most of us who work at night don’t come,� Tucker said. “It gives us the heebie-jeebies.� Tucker, who co-anchors the 6 and 11 o’clock news, describes herself as a skeptic, but says there’s just something creepy about that floor – and maybe some other locations in the elegant marble building, too. “We used to be able to come in and get supplies and things up here, but I just started not coming in here at night because

It’s basketball time in Tennessee TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

C

uonzo and I and several players and possibly you anticipate solid improvement in Tennessee basketball this winter. Those who do national polls and predictions are not convinced. The Volunteers exceeded expectations last season. They caught on to Cuonzo Martin’s way of life in time to win 19. They went 7-1 in February by being mentally tough enough to prevail at Gainesville, Columbia and Baton Rouge. They did not finish well. They were one and done in the Southeastern Conference tournament.

They were excluded from the 68-team NCA A field. They lost at home to Middle Tennessee State in the NIT. There is plenty of room for improvement. This team, at this time, has several advantages over that team. Last fall, Martin was still picking up the pieces from the Bruce Pearl puzzle, trying to find where they fit. He was introducing a bluecollar game that included the occasional f loor burn but not a lot of frills and no disco strobes. He did not have Jarnell Stokes. Stokes, 6-8, 270 and an

excellent student, was at Southwind High in Memphis, ineligible because of a transfer. He was parked, deciding what to do next. He had limited choices. Sit tight and wait until this year. Switch to a prep school. Or graduate early and sign with a university that had an available scholarship. There weren’t many. Tennessee had one and a coach who made sense. Cuonzo explained that the SEC is a men’s league. He offered the almost 18-year-old sound guidance and the chance to grow up in a hurry. Stokes did it. I keep re-

membering what he did to Vanderbilt in the season finale – 11 points, 14 rebounds, five blocked shots. Oh my. Tennessee will have (when his legs are healthy) strongman Jeronne Maymon, 6-7 and 260, point guard Trae Golden, best streak shooter Skyler McBee and an impressive supporting cast of Jordan McRae, Josh Richardson, Kenny Hall, improving Yemi Makanjuola and Dwight Miller. New talent includes junior college recruit D’Montre Edwards, redshirt freshman Quinton Chievous and even younger Armani Moore. Then and now? Overall experience is a definite plus. Players appear stronger. Conditioning coach Nicodemus Christopher must be doing something right. The trip to Italy proved positive. There is no uncertainty about obligations. Play hard. Do defense.

Charleston. That won’t happen again. They don’t play three of the four. These Vols have a show date with Georgetown at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. The Memphis Tigers come to Knoxville in early January as featured attraction of a six-game home stand, preliminary to the SEC race. Cuonzo Martin, guarded instead of boastful, expects this to be an NCAA tournament team but will leave most of the big Cuonzo Martin File photo talk to others. He expects Golden to be much improved as f loor leader and Some things will be has told Trae. He expects different.

Waiting. Waiting with joy for an encounter, a reunion, a return. Waiting with dread for a diagnosis, an outcome, a verdict. Waiting with anticipation for a glance, a word, a call. There are few things harder. We wait for holidays, for birthdays, for happenings, looking forward in time, imagining the day, the event, the encounter itself. Is waiting a waste? Is it squandered time? Why wait, when I could get busy doing something creative, or at least useful? There is certainly biblical evidence that God employs waiting as a tool to shape us, or events, to suit God’s purposes and timetable. Ask any one

of several people of the Bible who waited so long they gave up: Abraham, who at the age of 100 became the father of Isaac; Sarah, who waited so long she laughed in an angel’s face when he told her she would conceive; the priest Zechariah, who was struck dumb by the angel Gabriel because he refused to believe the angel’s good news of a child to be born to the old priest’s wife Elizabeth. So how were these people changed by their waiting? They were certainly frustrated, surely angry at times, despairing at other moments. They must have wondered what God was up to. But I wonder if they noticed the changes that were taking place within themselves?

The coming to terms, the growing realization that God is God and they are not, the surprising notion that perhaps God has other, unexpected plans for them. Which begs the question: what are you waiting for? What are you yearning for? What is God using to shape and sculpt and mold you? And to what purpose? Who or what will God use to shape your life? To make you the person God intended you to be? Just know this: God is always at work in your life. God is building or paring down; God is creating or honing; God is perfecting. Just wait. Just wait to see what wonder God is creating in your life.

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships.

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • OCTOBER 29, 2012 • A-7

2012 weather lore TALES OF UNION COUNTY | Bonnie Peters What kind of winter are we facing? I’m all ears as I listen to people talking weather. The other day an acquaintance said he’d heard of a new winter weather predictor – the persimmon. Persimmons are said to show three winter weathertypes. First, a winter of heavy snows is confirmed by cracking a persimmon seed, and seeing the image of a spoon. I have a persimmon tree, so I rushed out and gathered a few persimmons, cleaned off the seeds with paper towel and used pliers to crack open the seed. Sure enough, in about 10 seeds I found the image of a spoon. Expect to shovel snow this winter. I checked the Almanac

and this is what the National Weather Forecast had to say for Zone 13 – Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia: “We expect seasonal temperatures for November 2012, followed by above normal temperatures for December. Cooler than normal weather is anticipated for January, seasonal conditions for February. March is likely to bring some of the coldest temperatures of the year to the region, and April should be colder than usual, but May will likely bring above average temperatures to warm things up. “However, cooler than normal conditions are expected to move in again for the summer and early fall months. October will likely be milder than the sea-

sonal norm, but lower than normal temperatures will again prevail for the rest of the year. As for precipitation, moisture levels are predicted to be very low overall for this forecast period, to present problems for agricultural endeavors in many areas.” This is just too much information for me to retain, so it’s back to nature’s predictions. I used to be intrigued by the predictions of the late Helen Lane of Crab Orchard (Crossville), Tenn. I wish I had purchased her book of weather predictions. Her daughter, Melinda Hedgecoth, continues Helen’s legacy. I haven’t seen her readings for 2012, but a friend who read Melinda’s newspaper account is quoted as saying: “This year, due to nature’s signs,

“Bundle up! Winter could be a humdinger.” However, I talked “signs” with Earl Bull at his and Ginger’s Molasses Makin,’ and Earl declared the local woolly worms non compos mentis and assured me that weather is too important for the Lord to leave weather predictions to a bunch of woolly worms. Ginger is looking forward to a cold winter so maybe she can get caught up on some of her projects. Neither Earl nor I counted the August fogs, but here’s what Melinda observed – the woolly worms were black on both ends and brown in the middle. She says that shows we will have cold at the beginning and ending of winter with a warm spell in the middle. The wooly worms were seen earlier this year (in June and July) than usual (September and October) and that is a sign of a cold winter. There were six early morning fogs in August (one heavy, one moderate and four patchy). This is interpreted to mean one big snow, one moderate snow and four blue darters, which give no measurable accumulation. This is a Helen Lane

weather reading of several years ago: “The woolly worms are scarce this year, maybe because of the two-month dry spell, the one that induced the maples, oaks and sycamore marching high up the mountains on the Cumberland Plateau to skip turning red and gold and go straight to dead, brittle brown. “The worms that have been found; however, are solid black, while the hornets are building their nests close to the ground and the spiders are sticking together, weaving their webs nearly on top of one another. “Taken together, these

and other signs mean the coming winter “is going to be a humdinger.” Now back to the persimmon seeds prediction: I plan to check persimmon seeds for years to come – or at least until I’ve confirmed all three types of persimmon predictions. The persimmon philosophy also says a warm, rainy winter will be confirmed by the image of a fork in the persimmon seeds that particular year. The most fierce, very cold with icy winter weather – and hopefully the most rare – pattern is shown by the image of a knife in the persimmon seeds that year.

Going ‘batty’ is a good thing It is appropriate that I am writing about bats this week considering Halloween is just a couple of days away. But in a way, it is also inappropriate at this point to poke fun at the cute little beasts and portray them as evil and scary.

Sara Barrett

Critter Tales Chris Ogle, wildlife services manager with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, made a stop at the Shopper-News

office several months ago to check on a bat that had perched on the side of the building. He said when people complain about bats flying around their house, he wishes the winged creatures would come hang out at his place. Bats rarely carry disease and are very good at controlling the insect population, especially mosquitoes. According to bestnest. com, a small bat can catch more than 1,200 mosquitoes an hour, and the bats cannot contract West Nile Virus from ingesting infected insects. Bats also help control the number of beetles and moths in the area and lower the need for pesticides. Instead of spraying Off! every 20 minutes during a hot

Pretty Girl is a 2-year-old, fun loving domestic cat looking for her forever home. Her adoption fee has been sponsored by the Furry Friends Program, but interested parties will still need to complete the application process. Pretty Girl is located at Young-Williams’ Division Street location. See all of Young-Williams’ adoptable animals online at www.young-williams.org.

Toys needed for disabled children The East Tennessee Technology Access Center needs new, battery-operated toys to give to more than 100 children with disabilities who cannot use their hands to play with typical toys. The donated toys will be rewired and connected to special switches for the children to push. Donated toys should be received by ETTAC no later than Friday, Nov. 16. They will be given as gifts during a party on Dec. 3. Donors will receive a gift card they can send to a friend or family member saying a toy has been donated in their honor to a child for the holidays. Toys can be dropped off at ETTAC, 116 Childress St. just off Chapman Highway. Hours there are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Info: Call 219-0130. Bats are not the enemies humans have made them out to be. This little guy was sleeping on the wall outside the ShopperNews front door. Photo by S. Barrett summer night, try installing a bat house on a pole next to your home. Probably the most common misconception about bats is that they need blood – any blood, including human blood – to survive. In fact, the only bat that survives by ingesting blood

Stay safe this Halloween Rural/Metro has tips to help families stay safe on Halloween: ■ An adult should always accompany trick-ortreaters. ■ Ensure that your child’s costume is flame resistant. ■ Costumes should be brightly colored to be seen. Reflective tape can help. ■ Use a flashlight. ■ Remove any mask or item that limits eyesight before crossing the road. ■ Stay in a group. ■ Stay in well-lit areas and only approach homes with the porch light on. ■ Always use the sidewalk and never cut across yards or use alleys. ■ Check treats thoroughly before allowing children to eat them. ■ Never let your child enter a stranger’s home for a treat. ■ Never let children eat treats until they have been thoroughly checked at home. ■ To help trick-or-treaters, keep your front porch and pathway clear of hazards such as flower pots and hoses.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Espiritu credits others for national award E

By Betty Bean

arlier this month, Pond Gap Elementary School principal Susan Espiritu went to a meeting of the National Association of Elementary School Principals in Washington, D.C., to pick up an award. Espiritu is principal of Pond Gap Elementary School. The heavy brass school bell she was given to commemorate the occasion sits on her desk, but getting Tennessee’s National Distinguished Principal of 2012 to talk about herself is no easy task. Susan Espiritu prefers to credit her staff, her students and her community for Pond Gap’s many successes. But forced to get personal, here’s what we learned about Susan Dillard Espiritu: Her parents were Bill and Gladys Dillard. Her brother, Tom, is one of Knoxville’s most respected attorneys. She attended Shannondale Elementary School and Central High School, except for that one year when they moved to Hawaii. “They (her parents) went there on vacation and decided to move there,” she said. “That’s where I met my husband, Charlie. We really hit it off and when we (the Dillard family) moved back here, he followed

me, and we got married. I finished high school and college after we were married.” Marriage at the age of 16, she hastens to say, is not a path she would recommend for young people today. “He didn’t realize how young I was, and once he did, it was too late,” she said. “He was going to go back to Hawaii because he couldn’t stay forever, so my parents agreed

to sign for us. It’s a long shot for that ever to have worked, but it really did, because it was meant to be. That was 38 years ago. I finished UT in three years, and we didn’t have our first child until I had graduated from college.” The Espiritus’ older daughter, Maria Haun, is 34. She and her husband, Robbie, have three daughters. The middle daughter, Kalea Derry, is married to Nick Derry. She’s 31 and has three sons. Son Billy – named after Susan’s dad – and his wife, Kristina, have a daughter. Kalea’s name is Hawaiian, and Charles Espiritu is of Philippine, Chinese and Hawaiian ancestry. He was a human resources manager for Harrison Inc, a division of APAC, and when he retired five years ago, the Espiritus moved to a lakeside house in Campbell County. This means a fairly long commute to Pond Gap, but Espiritu says it’s worth it. “I love this school. I’ve been in education since I graduated from UT in ‘79, except for taking off some time to help my dad, and I absolutely love my profession. “I love this school, with its diversity and challenges, and I love this community. I love the staff. “This award is a reflection of everything they have done. They are always looking for ways to remove the barriers our kids face. I’m just a reflection of my staff.”

“I am most proud of the staff that I have at Pond Gap. I attribute this individual recognition as being a direct collective reflection of their willingness to try anything and everything to help students to succeed by removing the barriers to learning. “To that end, they have overwhelmingly voted for and embraced pilot programs that improve teaching practice in the school (the TAP program), provide more equality for students by requiring uniforms for students, and assisting for the additional needs for our students with the after-school Community School program. “Without exception, my staff is collaborative, professional, dedicated and supportive of not only each other, but of every student that walks in our door. “They truly believe they are on a mission to make a difference. So, I am blessed to be able to do what I do every day and have it labeled as ‘my work’ because it truly blesses me daily.” – Susan Espiritu

Exemplars of school leadership Susan D. Espiritu was among 60 outstanding elementary and middle school principals from across the nation who were named 2012 National Distinguished Principals by the National Association of Elementary School Principals. The NDPs were honored Oct. 19 at an awards banquet, funded by retirement plan provider VALIC, at which U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan delivered the opening address. The two-day program, held at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., recognized public and private school principals who make superior contributions to their schools and communities. The distinguished principals are selected by NAESP state affiliates, including the District of Columbia, and by committees representing private and overseas schools. NAESP Executive Director Gail Connelly commended the 60 principals for being exemplars of successful school leadership and calling them “front-line champions for children who vastly impact individual lives and strengthen schools.”

Mama’s advice could prevent breast cancer By Wendy Smith When it comes to lifestyle changes that could reduce a woman’s chance of developing breast cancer, it turns out that “mama knows best.” Tennova Healthcare breast surgeon Caren Gallaher spoke at last week’s Red Hot Mamas luncheon aimed at breast cancer awareness. While most women know the “big things” that can stop cancer in its tracks, like annual mammograms, physicals and surgery, the “little things” can also make a big difference. Studies have shown that the advice typically given by mothers can make a diagnosis of breast cancer less likely. Such tips include: eat right, get plenty of rest, exercise regularly, go outside and play, don’t sweat the small stuff and don’t get dirty. Other good suggestions are no smoking, no drinking, no caffeine and “watch that girlish figure.” Studies that examine the role that lifestyle plays in

women’s breast health are few, but there is enough data to recommend certain behaviors, Gallaher said. When it comes to eating, emulating populations that have a low cancer risk – like Asian and Indian women – is supported by research. Foods that have been proven to reduce breast cancer risk include soy, green tea, cruciferous vegetables, fish and fowl instead of red meat, and turmeric. Recent studies have found that soy found in foods like soy milk, edamame and tofu can help prevent cancer. To receive health benefits from green tea, it must be consumed within two hours of being brewed, Gallaher said. Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower and kale. For those who don’t care to eat fatty fish three times a week, krill capsules are a good choice. Turmeric, which is a component of curry, is also available in a capsule, she said.

agrees with the American Cancer Society’s recommendation that women receive annual mammograms beginning at age 40, which can reduce the risk of cancer mortality by 30 to 50 percent. She is also a strong proponent of breast self-exams. WBIR anchor and Buddy Check 10 founder Robin Wilhoit was master of ceremonies at the luncheon. The Buddy Check program encourages women to choose a buddy and remind them to perform a breast self-exam each month. “I am convinced that one simple thing saves lives,” said Wilhoit, who has received letters from women who first found a cancer during a breast self-exam. Tennova Healthcare Marketing Manager Linda CoxCollier says the Red Hot Mamas lunch program, which began about seven years ago, has been a wonderful opportunity for women to get together and network. Next year, the program will have a new name, but will continue to offer a free luncheon every other month, along with a speaker from the medical community.

great passing game as well. Owenby can always throw a long bomb to wide receiver Marcus Weaver and expect it to be caught. In a nutshell, Powell knows how to win. In the postseason, you either win or quit playing for the year. The Panthers haven’t quit once this season, and should they continue to do what they’ve been doing, they could make a deep run in the playoffs. The defense has been fantastic and the running game has been one of the best in the county. If the Panthers keep it up, it could be a November to remember.

Halloween safety tips Recent online surveys rank Halloween second only to Christmas as the favorite family holiday, and with an estimated 41 million children trick-or-treating in 2012, Rural/Metro urges parents to keep safety in mind to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience this Halloween season. “At Rural/Metro, we recognize that the endangerment of a child is more frightening to parents than any ghost or ghoul could ever be,” said Rob Webb, Rural/Metro division general manager. “By following our Halloween safety tips, parents will have the tools to help protect their child during this holiday.” According to the Centers for Disease Control, children ages 5 to 14 are four times more likely to be killed by being struck by a vehicle on Halloween than on any other day

■ Ensure your child’s costume is flame resistant. ■ Costumes should be brightly colored to be easily seen. If not, add reflective tape.

■ Use a flashlight. You child will be able to see and be seen by others.

■ Use the sidewalk and only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks.

■ Remove any mask or item that will limit eyesight before crossing a street or driveway.

■ Don’t assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing trick-or-treaters.

■ Stay in a group.

■ Never cut across yards or use alleys.

■ Stay in well-lit areas and only approach homes with a porch light on.

■ Never let your child enter a stranger’s home or car for a treat.

■ No treats are to be eaten until they are thoroughly checked by an adult at home. It is always better to consume packaged treats. ■ Notify police immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity. ■ Make sure your front porch and pathway are clear of hazards such as flower pots and hoses.

ers to take time to evaluate the security of their computers, devices and online safety practices. NCSA released the results of a new survey that shows why Americans need to increase their efforts to make the Internet safer: ■ Ninety percent of Americans agree that a safe and secure Internet is crucial to our nation’s economic security. ■ Fifty-nine percent say their job is dependent on a safe and secure Internet and 78 percent say losing Internet access for 48 consecutive hours would be disruptive with 33 percent saying it would be extremely disruptive.
