Enhance Powell calls Saturday cleanup By Sandra Clark The committee of the Powell Business and Professional Association that is working to beautify Powell has called a community cleanup day, meeting at 9 a.m. at Bojangle’s on Emory Road at Brickyard. Laura Bailey promises to bring her Bobcat. The group’s final meeting of 2014 will be 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, at Realty Executives Associates. At last week’s meeting, Kim

Severance said Knox County Schools CTE supervisor Don Lawson supports a construction trades project for PHS students to rennovate the old garage on county-owned land into a large picnic pavilion for community use. Dr. Donald Wegener said the Tennessee Chiropractic Association, of which he is a past president, has contacted him about donating a bench in memory of his son, Travis Wegener, who died unexpectedly.

The committee identified a concrete pad in Powell Station Park, and Wegener will notify the association. The committee discussed a footbridge over Beaver Creek, to benefit students of The Crown College, but someone pointed out that won’t help much without pedestrian access from the new Powell Drive to Emory Road. Student member Laura Connaster said the county bridge on Brickyard Road is unsafe for pe-

destrians. She has used it when walking to school. So Chuck Denney contacted Dwight Van de Vate, a Powell resident who is director of Engineering and Public Works for Knox County. Van de Vate agreed to attend the group’s Nov. 20 meeting. Lee Robbins discussed “uneconomic remnants” of land between Powell Drive and Beaver Creek, and he suggested a walking trail on the Crown College side of the creek under the power lines.

Ijams opens pet welcome station Ijams Nature Center, complete with over 12 miles of trails, is a great greenspace for walking pets. Now, with the support of PetSafe, a new pet welcome station will provide enhanced enjoyment for the furry park visitors. Ijams and PetSafe invite visitors and their special pets to a grand opening at 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, at the Visitor Center Plaza. A number of community pet partners will attend, including Small Breed Rescue with little pups who will be up for adoption. The Pet Welcome Station is part of a series of improvements Ijams has made in 2014 to enhance visitor orientation and enjoyment on the Visitor Center Plaza. Recent additions also include wildlife interpretation, information kiosks and custom-designed art installations by local artisans. The Pet Welcome Station features a handy water fountain as well as hitching posts to secure dogs while visitors step into the Visitor Center for a trail map or a quick snack. Funding has been provided by PetSafe, the largest manufacturer of electronic pet training products in the U.S. PetSafe is committed to helping Knoxville become the most pet-friendly city in America.

Noweta colors Powell By Cindy Taylor After new officers were elected, the Noweta Garden Club was ready to jump into 2015, but the first order of business was to take time to enjoy the colors of the season. Club members made their yearly excursion to the Smokies in

October for a visit to Little Greenbrier School. The hairpin turns through Wears Valley raised a few eyebrows among Noweta passengers, but driver Carole Whited earned points for safely traversing the curves. For the November meeting,

At the tag end of the superintendent’s report during the November school board workshop, James McIntyre announced that Rod Paige, who served as Secretary of Education under George W. Bush, is his new mentor. “The former U.S. Secretary of Education was here in Knoxville last Friday, and I had the privilege of spending a few hours with him,” McIntyre said. “I’d been introduced to him through one of my professional networks, and he’s agreed to serve as sort of an informal mentor and executive coach for me. I believe his insights and wisdom will be pretty valuable to my continued professional growth … This is a great opportunity for me, and I’m pretty excited about that.”

Analysis There is no cost to Knox County Schools. “Dr. McIntyre and Dr. Paige were connected by the Broad Center, and it is our understanding

that they will cover the expenses of Dr. Paige’s engagement,” Melissa Ogden, KCS director of public affairs, said in response to a question. Teachers in the audience, who were stripped of tenure and collective-bargaining rights and left with something called PECCA (Professional Educators Collaborative Conferencing Act) by the state Legislature in 2011, should be forgiven if they don’t share his enthusiasm. PECCA required the school board to meet with teachers’ rep-

resentatives to discuss a limited list of matters including salaries, benefits, insurance and leave. The board delegated its powers to McIntyre, who was in no hurry to comply with this toothless law, and KCS failed to reach an agreement with the weakened Knox County Education Association by Nov. 1, leaving teachers without even the weak protections afforded by the new law. So what does that have to do with McIntyre’s new mentor? This: To say that the 81-year-old Paige is not a proponent of teachers’ rights is like saying Babe Ruth was a pretty fair hitter. One of his best-known pronouncements was to brand the country’s largest teachers union, the National Education Association, “a terrorist organization.” Prior to landing the job with the Bush administration, Paige (who is part of the “executive” faculty of the Broad Center for Superintendents) served as superintendent of the Houston Independent School District for eight years and boasted a too-good-to-be-true record of improved student achievement

in inner-city high schools, featuring sky-high graduation rates and dropout rates of nearly zero. One of the ways he achieved this unbelievable result was to do away with tenure for principals and put them on one-year contracts that could be terminated without cause if they failed, or to reward them with lavish bonuses if they succeeded. The result? A whole lot of cheating, uncovered after Paige was long gone. KCEA president Tanya T. Coats was in the audience when McIntyre announced that Paige would be mentoring him. At the end of the meeting, she protested that the administration is misinterpreting the rules governing the selection of the teachers’ bargaining agent by attempting to reopen the process to give other organizations a second chance to apply since KCEA was the only applicant that has complied with the terms set by the Legislature. McIntyre smiled and said he’d be looking into that. Teachers better hope he isn’t calling Rod Paige for advice.

Exhausted during the day, Loudon woman goes looking for answers to cure her sleepless nights Living on a dairy farm and working the breakfast shift at Chick-ﬁlA in Loudon, Janet James-Owens, 54, knows the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. “I usually get up around 4:30, and I’m at work by 6 a.m.,” JamesOwens said. Several years ago after a surgery on her neck vertebrae, James-Owens said she felt tired all the time and couldn’t seem to get to sleep, even though she was exhausted. “Ever since the surgery on my neck, my breathing has been tight. I guess it’s crowded in there,” she said. “I wasn’t sleeping the night through, I had terrible issues sleeping and snoring,” she added. “I just wasn’t getting any peaceful sleep, not sleep that was productive.” Her doctor referred her to the Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, and James-Owens went in October 2013 for a sleep study. During the sleep study, patients stay all night, monitored for their heart rate, breathing and other vitals while they sleep. “You have a bedroom just like at home, with a real nice mattress,” James-Owens said. “I got there around 6, 6:30,” she said. “You have to change into your pajamas, they take all your vitals and do a bunch of paperwork. You get settled in, and it’s 8 or 9 o’clock. “The staff was great,” James-

Janet James-Owens came to the Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center exhausted and looking for a fix to her restless nights. Now she’s sleeping better thanks to the Sleep Center’s diagnosis and treatment. Owens said. “They were just very attentive and very caring. They were very prompt and efﬁcient. Except they woke me up too early!” During the night, a technician monitored her sleep. And soon afterward, Dr. Thomas G. Higgins,

Myths about sleep Myth: Some people only need 4 to 5 hours per night. Truth: Everyone needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, and others need up to 9 hours. Sleep is productive time, in which brain and body cells rejuvenate. Myth: Sleep problems only affect older women. Truth: Insomnia affects everyone, but is more common in older women. Men in their 30s and 40s are most likely to get sleep apnea. And narcolepsy, a serious sleep disorder, most often begins in a person’s teens and 20s.

When to call the doctor If you have a problem getting to sleep, it’s probably a sleep hygiene issue. Try keeping regular sleep hours, use the bedroom only for sleeping, don’t work on the computer or watch TV just before bed and avoid caffeine after dinner. Get exercise every day, but not right before bed. Do something relaxing before bed, like take a bath or read (as long as it’s not exciting). Keep the lights low or even off. Before there were electric lights, people regularly slept 9 hours per day. If you keep waking up during the night, that’s more likely a physical problem such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome or any one of a number of sleep disorders. If you’ve tried good sleep hygiene and still can’t fall asleep, call your doctor. Or if you’re waking up in the middle of the night repeatedly, that’s a reason to call a doctor as well.

medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center, diagnosed JamesOwens’ medical problem: obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is when the airway collapses on itself during the night. This blocks the ﬂow

of air, causing loud snoring and interruptions in breathing. Often, the patient jerks and gasps for air multiple times during the night. Although most patients don’t remember them, apnea episodes will rob a person of deep REM

(rapid eye movement) sleep, a vital part of sleep. Sleep apnea can be managed easily by using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine every night. This machine forces air through a tube and into a mask that fits over the nose and sometimes the mouth. The machine forces air into the airway to keep it open throughout the night. The CPAP eliminates both the apnea episodes and the patient’s snoring. “It made a signiﬁcant difference,” said James-Owens. “Now I wake up well rested. It’s like a night and day difference. My energy level is way up. Before, I used to want to take an afternoon nap, and now I don’t have the need for that.” While some people are bothered by wearing a mask at night, James-Owens said hers hasn’t been a problem for her. “The mask has never bothered me. It works perfectly. I just went into it with the attitude that this is for my beneﬁt,” she said. James-Owens added that she would recommend the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center to anyone who isn’t getting a good night’s rest. “Anybody who thinks they have an issue should really go on and have the sleep study done,” she said. “You’re going to like how you feel and what it does for you. I highly recommend it.”

Science of a good night’s rest Getting a good night’s rest is not a luxury but rather a necessity for good health, according to Dr. Thomas G. Higgins, a neurologist and sleep disorders specialist at Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. “Most people need at least seven or eight hours of sleep,” said Higgins. “There are shorter sleepers, but most people getting five hours are not getting enough sleep. Your body temperature, horDr. Thomas G. mones and everyHiggins thing in the body functions better if you’re attaining enough sleep.” A lack of sleep can affect the body in many negative ways, Higgins said. “The immune system is affected,” he said. “People who do not get enough sleep are more likely to become ill. People with insufficient sleep are more likely to put on weight, because a lack of sleep affects metabolism. That can lead to diabetes and heart disease. “Obtaining good sleep reduces your sensitivity to chronic pain.

doesn’t get to a deep stage of sleep. Sleep apnea is managed by wearing a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine at night. This machine forces air through a tube and mask, and into the patient’s airway to keep it open. “In one study, they took photos of patients before and two months after using a CPAP machine, and asked other people to rate who was more attractive. The people judged most attractive were the ones who had used the CPAP for a couple of months. “So if you want to Fibromyalgia, for example, can be aggravated by a lack of sleep,” be good looking, healthy and feel better, use your CPAP,” said Higsaid Higgins.

Powell High hosts community By Sandra Clark Powell High School teachers, administrators and a ton of students packed the gym last Thursday for the school’s second annual community engagement event. Principal Nathan Langlois said Powell High is “a traditional school with some brand new things.” He outlined the small learning communities which have a principal, academic dean and counselor for each grade level. Jim Porter is the school’s graduation coach. “We ask three crucial questions,” he said. What is a student’s skill level coming in? If students are struggling or doing really well, what are we doing to support them? Is what we’re doing working? Langlois said being a principal is about resource allocation. “It’s what I do every day.” He urged those attending to “visit us at anytime. I’ve got an open door.” He then dismissed the audience to attend workshops in various classrooms. The gym included businesses such as Terri Gilbert from Food City, military

Caution: Kentucky is coming Kentucky, brave and daring, sends word that it will show up Saturday at Neyland Stadium. The Wildcats have seen the Joshua Dobbs Show. They have been properly informed of the many skills of the sophomore Volunteer. They know how hard A.J. Johnson hits and what Derek Barnett does to those he catches. The Big Blue seems unaffected, totally resistive to intimidation. There has been no mention of opting out. All connected to or concerned about Tennessee football should spend a minute absorbing that thought. As the complexion of the Volunteers’ season switched from drab to bright (well, a lot brighter than it was) in the final few minutes at South Carolina, it could switch back if this one gets away. Kentucky is now Tennessee’s pivotal game in the bid for a bowl. If the unthinkable happens, you try to explain it. You have been alerted. This should be a simple comparison. The Volunteers

Marvin West

and Wildcats are in their second season of reconstruction. The mostly orange team, under the previous coach, was comparable to the blue team at the time of need. Neither had enough talent to compete in the Southeastern Conference. Kentucky has often lived at that level. Tennessee had deteriorated. Kentucky sort of acted like it might possibly want Butch Jones to come down from Cincinnati and tidy up the Lexington mess. Easy move, 89 miles. Clear challenge, nowhere to go but up. An unofficial trial balloon was floated to gauge interest. Butch was shrewd enough to wait until Tennessee called. In theory, that gives these Vols an advantage. Jones

was an established head coach with a winning record. UK gave Mark Stoops his first opportunity. Those who claim to know all about recruiting say Stoops has done surprisingly well in his two years. Jones has done better. Advantage Vols. Kentucky started this season with back-to-back 2-10s as background. Tennessee is trying to overcome the habit of falling one win short of bowl eligibility. The Vols prevailed as visitors last November. It was not a rout. Dobbs was the winning pitcher. The Wildcats are much improved over 2013. Comparing where they are to where they were, Kentucky is impressive on both sides of the ball. It has playmakers, a crusty attitude and, we have learned from past experiences, a general dislike for all things orange. It appears the Vols are improving on offense. There was plenty of room. Like Tennessee, Kentucky has a young quarterback. Redshirt sophomore Patrick Towles, grandson of

former Sen. Jim Bunning, played his best game against high and mighty Mississippi State – 390 yards and two touchdowns passing and 76 and two TDs running. The Wildcats were pretty good against South Carolina. They scored the concluding 21 points to start the USC slide. Hmmm, both plucked and cooked the chickens. Put that on your checklist: How does Towles compare to Dobbs? Both did summer training out in California with quarterback guru George Whitfield Jr. For sure, Towles talks more. Before the UK trip to LSU, he said crowd noise was no problem, bring it on, it would help him focus. I assume he feels the same about Neyland noise. In comparing these rivals, Tennessee has a considerable edge in tradition, if that matters. It also has higher expectations. For sure that matters. The heat is never off. This is a must game.

Mayors’ committee should do open search Mayors Madeline Rogero and Tim Burchett have named their six-member committee to do a search for the new MPC director who will follow Mark Donaldson, who has resigned effective Jan. 4, 2015.

Victor Ashe

The members will include city Deputy Mayor Bill Lyons and county chief of staff Dean Rice along with two MPC commissioners, Bart Carey and Herb Anders. Also serving are former county commissioner Wanda Moody and Stephanie Welch, vice president of operations for community schools at the Great Schools Partnership. The committee met this past Monday, Nov. 10, in the city finance department conference room. The topic was the job description and next steps. Eric Vreeland, city spokesperson, said the committee meetings will not be open to the public but the committee itself never met to make that decision. Vreeland said, “Prior MPC director search processes have (not) been open to the public. To encourage the best professional candidates to apply, it is important to

protect their confidentiality and the integrity of the search process.” While legally these meetings of an advisory group are not required to be open to the public, the powers that be are missing an opportunity to be transparent by inviting the public to attend. The search for the UT president is fully open to the public, and that has not prevented able applicants from seeking the position or being chosen. Rogero pledged transparency when she ran for mayor, but in this case it is a bridge too far for her to cross in terms of keeping the public informed. Furthermore, this secretive process will only trigger rumors and talk that cannot help MPC, which has been less than candid in its public relations and willingness to discuss the Donaldson severance package. This is a publicly funded agency. Kim Scarborough, executive assistant for policy with the city, is handling the logistics for the six-member committee. The committee will make a recommendation to the two mayors, which they can accept or reject. The composition of the search committee is surprising only in that the current MPC chair, Rebecca Longmire, is not on the committee. Longmire must be wondering why she was not asked to serve but two of her colleagues were asked.

There is little chance this process will be completed before Donaldson leaves, which means someone will have to name an interim director on Jan. 4, which is less than 55 days from now. ■ Hubert Smith, Knoxville bus authority member, has stirred concerns from Knox bus management now led by Dawn Distler due to his active involvement and raising of questions requiring information from staff. John Lawhorn, KTA attorney, has written a two-page letter to Smith outlining concerns involving recognition of retiring employees, staff time and adding items to the board agenda. It is most unusual for the board attorney to send such a letter to a sitting board member, which has generated comment and discussion. Smith is certainly within his rights to do what he has been doing even if it does not win him friends with his colleagues or top management. He can always resort to open-records requests under state law if the board attempts to restrict his requests for information. Honoring veteran retirees seems to be an easy matter to resolve by establishing a process that honors all at public sessions. But stay tuned, Smith is not likely to go away, and he is enjoying this attention. Lawhorn and Distler should assume Smith will not alter his behavior. His terms goes

to 2016. ■ Two Knox County Democrats may seek to be the next state Democratic party chair. They are former state Rep. Gloria Johnson and former U.S. Senate candidate Terry Adams. It will be decided in January by the full 66-member state executive committee. ■ Former Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Gordon Ball tells the Memphis Flyer publication he is not only buying a condo on Mud Island in Memphis but he is also filing for a divorce. He may be selling his home on Old Kent Drive in Knoxville’s Westmoreland neighborhood.

“Sue was a good friend, someone you could count on,” Prince said. Her friend Anne Hart said Sue’s Southern charm and gracious demeanor hid a strength of will that led her to fight with everything she had for a cause or a candidate she believed in. “That dedication to her party, combined with a tremendous sense of humor, was a powerful force. Her love for all things Republican was exceeded only by her love for her family, especially the grandchildren she adored.”

In politics, there’s no such thing as a total victory. Today’s hero is tomorrow’s villain. Sanger cruises to victory: More than a few folks were surprised when Tracie Sanger won last week’s second district school board race. Sanger won in impressive fashion for a firsttime candidate, winning by nine percentage points in a three-candidate race. Sanger’s win can be attributed to strong fundraising, well-known supporters like Tommy Schumpert and Indya Kincannon, and a strong door-to-door operation. In fact, according to her campaign, Sanger won every precinct where she knocked on doors. Yet, one of the more surprising twists of the second district race was the involvement of County Mayor Tim Burchett, who recorded two automated telephone messages (“robocalls”) for candidate Jamie Rowe. Burchett endorsed Rowe presuming that Rowe (if elected) would oppose Burchett’s arch-nemesis, school Superintendent Jim McIntyre. Of course, the problem for Burchett is that Jamie Rowe didn’t win. In politics, sometimes the person who loses the most isn’t even on the ballot. Jamie Rowe’s loss to Tracie Sanger is also a loss for Tim Burchett. Gloria Johnson loses re-election: Local Democrats will call Gloria Johnson’s defeat to Republican

Eddie Smith a fluke, dismissing the loss as an unfortunate consequence of an energized Republican electorate. These folks conveniently ignore the fact that Johnson was first elected two years ago in a similar Democratic wave of voters supporting Barack Obama. The 13th district is one of the few competitive legislative districts in the state. It will be fun to watch the 13th district every two years until the Republican Legislature redraws the district lines as a safely Republican district after the next census in 2020. But don’t feel bad for Gloria Johnson just yet. Johnson may have parlayed a part-time legislative seat into a full-time, higher-paying gig. On election night, Johnson announced she’s running for chair of the Tennessee Democratic Party. It’s difficult to overstate Gloria Johnson’s popularity with some Democrats. These aren’t your father’s conservative, blue-dog Democrats. Instead, the Johnson wing of the Democratic Party has more in common with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren than former Tennessee Gov. Ned Ray McWherter. If Gloria Johnson is named state party chair, you can count on the state Democratic Party moving further to the left – to the delight of both Democratic and Republican activists. Many Democrats are tired of offering “Republican-lite” candidates and will welcome Johnson as state chair. Republican activists know Johnson’s liberal politics won’t play well outside of urban areas and will only help elect more Republicans. (By the way, in case you missed it, previous Democratic state party chairs have been paid a salary of more than $100,000 a year. For some folks, politics pays well. Very well.)

Ready or not: Fat’s in the fire for Sanger The wise man said he expects the school board’s pro-McIntyre faction to keep the heat off new board member Tracie Sanger, who made a campaign promise not to become part of any faction.

Betty Bean “I’ll support him when he’s right and hold his feet to the fire when he’s wrong,” she’d say. “Him,” of course, is Superintendent James McIntyre, who was a major bone of contention in the District 2 school board campaign that Sanger won. The wise man said the smartest course for the four board members who support McIntyre’s policies

would be to shelter Sanger from the heat of controversy for as long as possible while she gets her feet on the ground. Evidently he didn’t watch Wednesday’s board meeting, or he’d know that the board members he referenced apparently do not agree with him. If he had tuned in, he would have heard the most strident of the McIntyre loyalists, Karen Carson, toss the fat right into the fire by invoking personal privilege to delay a vote on the proposed Bearden Middle School International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) until December – Sanger’s first meeting – apparently believing it stands a better chance of gaining approval after Sanger takes her seat. That’s because the middle school program has got-

ten a tepid reception from the three new board members, who have criticized its cost and the fact that only Bearden Middle students and West High ninth- and 10th-graders will benefit from it. Teachers are quietly grumbling about its cost – more than $700,000 before McIntyre dropped the idea (for now) of making it a magnet program, $500,000-plus without the magnet transportation. Others are troubled by the fact that the new program is being introduced outside the budget process, and many see it as just another expensive money pit that will make it more difficult to find a way to give teachers a long-awaited pay raise. Bearden Middle School faculty and parents worked for a couple of years to make the IB program happen. It

will not only give Bearden Middle School students an enriched educational experience, but also will prepare those who choose to do so to enter West’s prestigious International Baccalaureate Programme for high school juniors and seniors. And there lies the rub. Sanger, who is serving out a partial term and will face another election in 2016 should she choose to run, was supported by a member of the West High School PTSO, who got the organization in hot water by circulating an email urging the membership to support Sanger to protect McIntyre’s education reforms. Since this kind of political activity is verboten for nonprofit organizations, the email caused an unpleasant buzz that will likely resurface if Sanger votes for the new IB program.

The view from Hornswoggle Holler The mid-term elections left Tennessee and the rest of the U.S. hemorrhaging red. For their perspective on what happened and what to expect now, we sat down with our favorite pundits, Amos and Ruth Bucketlist of Hornswoggle Holler.

Larry Van Guilder

Amos and Ruth celebrated their 104th birthdays this year, and they’ve voted in every presidential and midterm election since 1932. Amos: I voted for FDR four times, but don’t call me a Democrat! I vote for what the candidate stands for. Ruth: Now, Amos, I know for a fact you voted for Ronnie Reagan because you

liked that movin’ picture “Bedtime for Bonzo.” Amos: Well, that’un was a caution. Anyway, I was just a kid then, not much over 40. SN: Mr. and Mrs. Bucketlist, you’ve watched more elections than most of us ever will. What’s your take on the mid-terms? Ruth: Folks goin’ to need a whole lot of doctorin’, right, Amos? Amos: Right as rain. SN: I don’t understand. Ruth: Why, there’s never been such a passel of folks cuttin’ off their nose to spite their face as went to the polls. Ain’t no wonder the U.S. map is blood red! Amos: Yep. It’ll take a lot of stitchin’ to get that many noses re-attached. SN: Examples? Ruth: Look yonder across the border where they reelected that McTurtle fellow in Kentucky. A United States senator speakin’ against

the health care law when 400,000 of his own people are gettin’ health insurance they couldn’t get before! Amos: Now, Ruth, ain’t nice to call names. Anyway, Brother Bill Haslam right here in Tennessee is just as bad, stoppin’ Medicaid like he did. Man got 70 percent of the votes. SN: Anything else? Amos: Hmph. How much time you got? There’s a feller down in Georgia just elected to the U.S. House of Representatives name of Hice, a preacher man mind you. Anyway, this Hice thinks women ought to have their husband’s permission to run for office. He says the reason for the Civil War ain’t settled yet, and it’s a choice to be a gay man or woman. Dumber than a bag of hammers and twice as dangerous if you ask me. Ruth: Did you know that voters raised the minimum

pay in five states and then put people in office like that hog-castratin’ Joni Ernst out in Iowa who’s against it? Poor folks ain’t got much chance with the likes of her in control. SN: What happens now? Amos: Between now and the next presidential election, not much. Oh, they’ll be squeakin’ like a Sears saddle up in Washington about repealin’ Obamacare and shuttin’ down the borders, but it won’t amount to nothin’. Ruth: And not much to be done about what’s in office now. Amos: That’s the truth – can’t baptize a cat. SN: Thanks for your time, folks. Amos: Any time. On your way down the pike, stop by my nephew’s place and tell him I said to get out and vote next time. Said he was too tired and him only 88!

AmeriCorps member is city’s greenways ranger By Wendy Smith Becky Gronewold has been in Knoxville less than three months, but she already knows the city greenways better than most lifelong residents. The AmeriCorps member is serving as Knoxville’s greenways ranger.

While on the trail, Grone- She’ll be on the lookout for wold serves as the office’s maintenance problems and eyes and ears, Goerlich says. getting feedback from green-

way users. As much as she enjoys being outside, Gronewold looks forward to finding ways to improve the KGIS database. The information in the database has been compiled by several government departments, and each has layers that contain different information, she explains. She hopes to make the database more user-friendly during her yearlong tenure in Knoxville. She graduated from the University of Northern Iowa this year with a degree in Geographic Information Systems and plans to begin a master’s degree in urban planning next year. It was a conscious decision to devote

herself to public service for a year, she says. As an AmeriCorps member, she’ll receive a $5,500 education award that can be used for tuition, or to pay off a student loan, at the end of her year of service. She’ll also get plenty of exercise. The Parks and Recreation Department provides her with a bicycle, and she also explores the greenways on foot. Her favorite trail for riding is the Will Skelton Greenway, which begins at Island Home Park and passes through Ijams Nature Center on its way to the Urban Wilderness South Loop trails. For running, she prefers the shade of the Third Creek Greenway. While she’s out, she likes

government Why we didn’t endorse Rowe My first call after last Tuesday’s election was: “Why didn’t the Shopper endorse Jamie Rowe?” Rowe is a Fountain City activist who ran in a special election for the school board seat formerly held by Indya Kincannon. Also running were PTA mom Tracie Sanger, who won, and retired principal Charlotte Dorsey, who didn’t. We didn’t endorse Rowe because I thought she was so far ahead that she didn’t need it. How did I miss this one so badly? Teachers and parents who are pushing back against the draconian measures called education reform, won big in May and August. Former school social worker Terry Hill won in District 6. Patti Bounds retired from teaching at Brickey-McCloud to run unopposed in District 7. Former school librarian Amber Rountree ousted Pam Trainor in a South Knox upset. Along with Mike McMillan, a former teacher at Gibbs High School, they made four pro-teacher votes on the nine-member Board of Education. But then, Kincannon’s husband won a Fulbright to teach in Slovenia. She resigned and the county commission named banker John Fugate as interim member. Fugate sided with the teachers, and the new majority elected McMillan as chair. Rountree got a called meeting and the new majority rescinded Knox County’s K-2 testing called SAT-10. Once Rowe won on Nov. 4, the new majority would be solidified for two years, challenging Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre’s reforms. The Republicans (at least one bloc of them) went wild. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett made two robocalls on Rowe’s behalf. In a virtually all-city district, Burchett said something like: “Hello, I’m Tim Bur-

to chat with other greenways users about their experiences and concerns. They generally say positive things, she says. “Everyone is encouraging. They’re very curious about me.” There are approximately 35 AmeriCorps members currently deployed throughout Knox County. Participants are selected from a nationwide pool of applicants and matched to local programs based on interests and skills. The Knoxville-Knox County CAC organized the local program in 1994, making it one of the longest-

chett and I want to keep your taxes low, but I need help … I need Jamie Rowe. Taxes low, vote Jamie Rowe.” Sanger countered with a robo-call from the old coach himself, Tommy Schumpert, the last county executive to push through a property tax increase (which went mostly to education). Rowe came back with city guy Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis. Sanger countered with Kincannon, presumably calling from Slovenia. Dorsey said on TV that she didn’t use robo-calls because she doesn’t like them. The business community kicked in to Sanger, probably in excess of $50,000. Big Jim Haslam and nine family members (excluding Gov. Bill, who presumably stayed neutral) gave the maximum $1,500 each – $15,000 from Haslams alone, two of whom live in Nashville, or as one wag said, “Extreme West Knoxville.” Sanger had won handily. Now the five-vote majority has flipped back to the pro-McIntyre board members. Mike McMillan retains the chair, but with three allies, not four, behind him. Lessons learned: Money matters. PTA moms rule. Tim Burchett should avoid virtually all-city elections. It’s a bad idea to assume.

‘Read, read, read (and read some more)’ By Sandra Clark The theme of reading that former principal Nancy Maland brought to students at Halls Elementary School for a dozen years, she carried to Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy last week, speaking to both groups of the Shopper-News newspaper club. It was fun to watch a pro. The normally rowdy bunch of reporters-to-be sat quietly around Maland to discuss reasons to read. “Adventure,” said one boy. “Reading takes your mind far away.” Another kid said you read to learn stuff you don’t already know. Maland pulled out a book about training cocker spaniels and showed the kids an iPad picture of her new puppy, Izzy. “How do you spell that?” asked a young reporter (yay!). Next up is attorney Scott Frith, who will engage the kids with a mock trial. “Judge Judy,” one kid called it. And on Nov. 19, Mayor Madeline Rogero has promised to visit the kids to discuss their ideas about ways to improve the city. The newspapers are named “Shark Tales” for the mostly third-graders and SMG Growlers for the mostly fifth-graders. And as soon as we negotiate permission slips and technology we’ll have copies of their reports on our website, ShopperNewsNow.com/.

Third-graders see their world expand itive without the “free labor” club members provide. Wolf says about half of the club is involved in the project, including putting a label in each book stating that it is a gift from Rotary to the individual child. The thousands of books are delivered to each of the elementary schools by school personnel, an effort that Wolf says system

employee Scott Bacon has worked on diligently for many years. Rotarians themselves visit the classrooms to distribute the books to the children. Wolf says that’s when the magic happens. “Many of the kids have never owned a book that is their very own, and they are thrilled.” And their world starts expanding.

By Anne Hart If you think Google or some other electronic fount of wisdom has rendered dictionaries obsolete, think again. While our modern devices are very handy, there are many families who can’t afford them or the Internet service they require. For the children of those families, a dictionary opens up a window to knowledge that may not otherwise be available. Consider this: When you were a child and opened a dictionary to search for a certain word, did you stop at that word? Or did you keep on reading and turning page after page to learn ever more interesting new words and definitions? Think about it: A dictionary is the world in a single book. If you need more proof of the impact this one book can have, it’s evident in the ear-to-ear grins on the faces of third-graders all across Knox County who are receiving their very own free copies of Webster’s Dictionary for Students, compliments of the Rotary Club of West Knoxville. The book is specifically geared toward the learning skills of third-graders. Club member Todd Wolf chaired this year’s free dictionary project, now in its ninth year, along with fellow Rotarians Brad Buckshorn and Adam Starkey. Wolf took the original idea for the project to the club and says it took a couple of years to convince his fellow Rotarians of its efficacy (look it up). Steve Chancey, club president that year, and Larry Sheumaker embraced the idea and helped get the ball rolling. During the nine years since, the club has distributed a total of 43,788 dictionaries.

Unsung heroes and big scores Anyone who has ever waited tables will identify with Pellissippi State Community College’s current production of “Server Alley.” This world-premiere comedy-drama examines the inner lives of the 20-somethings who work behind the scenes of the restaurant industry. “It’s about the important decisions that we all make as young people which set the course for the rest of our lives,” says the play’s director, Charles Miller. “We have a multi-year history of doing original works and world premieres

Carol Shane

here at Pellissippi,” Miller points out. “Most go on to be published, and many win accolades.” Miller, who has just begun his 18th year as director of theater at PSCC, has an expansive theater history, with credits as actor, director, fight choreographer and voice/text coach at theaters

all over the country, including the Clarence Brown Theatre and the Knoxville Opera Company. The playwright, Alex Gherardi, is executive director of CNY Shakespeare in Central New York and is an adjunct faculty member at Pellissippi State. A graduate of Rutgers University, he is now living in Knoxville. The two met at an audition and worked together as actors. That’s where Miller learned that Gherardi wrote as well. “I asked him if he had anything he was working on. He sent me a rough draft of the piece.

“I told him if he finished it, we’d produce it,” says Miller. “And here we are!” “Server Alley” performance times are 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 14, 15, 21 and 22 and 2 p.m. on Nov. 16 and 23. The event takes place in the Clayton Performing Arts Center on the Hardin Valley Campus, 10915 Hardin Valley Road. To purchase tickets, visit www.pstcc.edu/ tickets or call 694-6400. ■ On Nov. 13-14, the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra presents the third concert of its Moxley Carmichael Masterworks series for the current season. Two well-known operatic composers are featured in various guises. The program begins with Giuseppe Verdi: first, the overture to his dramatic opera “La Forza del Destino.” Then, soprano Emily Birsan will follow with arias from “La Traviata” and “Rigoletto.” And clarinetist Gary Sperl, who’s been with the KSO since 1977, will be featured with Birsan on a little-known orchestral version of Franz Schubert’s lilting “The Shepherd on the Rock.” “It’s just so beautiful anyway,” says Sperl of the piece, written originally for piano, clarinet and voice, “and now with the orchestra, there are added colors to make it even more so. I’m excited!” The big piece of the evening is the “Alpine Symphony” by Richard Strauss. Known for his sweeping, harmonically virtuosic orchestral works as well as his operas, Strauss wrote some of the most thrilling music you’ll ever hear, and if your only exposure to him is the theme from “2001: A Space Odyssey,” I urge you to get down to the Tennessee Theatre to hear the KSO shake the rafters. And while you’re there, note that the violin section is missing a musician. Norris Dryer, Green Party can-

didate for the U.S. House of Representatives, retired program director and announcer for WUOT radio and KSO violinist for 47 years, died on Oct. 30 after a long illness. I am honored to have been his friend for almost 30 years. A week before he died, he told me, “All I ever wanted to do was to be an announcer on a classi-

cal radio station and play in a symphony. I got to do both of those things for 56 years, and how many people can say they got to do exactly what they wanted to do? I consider myself to be very fortunate.” Norris, we miss you. Info and tickets: www. knoxvillesymphony.com or 865-523- 1178.

Gael Garcia Bernal plays journalist Maziar Bahari in “Rosewater.”

‘Rosewater’ sneak includes Stewart Q&A By Betsy Pickle Jon Stewart fans can get a sneak peek of his feature-film writing and directing debut, “Rosewater,” at a special event Thursday night. “Rosewater: Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert Live” will have a one-time presentation at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Regal West Town Mall. The event includes a screening of the film, which opens Friday, along with a live broadcast of a question-and-answer session between the two Comedy Central hosts. Stewart took time off from “The Daily Show” last year to film “Rosewater,” the real-life story of a Canadian-Iranian journalist who was held in an Iranian prison for more than a year. His Iranian captors insisted he was a spy and did everything they could to make him confess, but he held on to his sanity and sense of humor throughout the ordeal. The drama stars Gael Garcia Bernal as journalist Maziar Bahari. Kim Bodnia, Dimitri Leonidas and Shohreh Aghdashloo co-star.

Responding to a demand that probably never existed, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels return as Lloyd and Harry in “Dumb and Dumber To,” opening in theaters on Friday. Directing brothers Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly are back as well to helm the comedy that picks up two decades after the events of the original. This time around, Harry and Lloyd go in search of the daughter Harry never knew he had. Fart jokes and absentee parents – sounds like a solid foundation for laughs. The cast also includes Kathleen Turner, Rob Riggle, Laurie Holden and Rachel Melvin. Also opening Friday is “Beyond the Lights,” a romance set in the world of hip-hop music. Gina PrinceBythewood (“The Secret Life of Bees,” “Love & Basketball”) wrote and directed the film. Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“Belle”) plays a rising star whose success masks her inner despair. Nate Parker (“Non-Stop”) plays a police officer who becomes part of her security detail but has aspirations to enter politics. They fall in love despite the advice of those close to

When I first heard of “fish tacos,” I was confused. Being “a little bit country,” I couldn’t see stuffing bits of fried catfish into a hard taco shell and covering them with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Hey, I’ve done been ed-ucated, and fish tacos give my palate an international flair. Had I not already been a fan, I can assure you the Grilled Salmon Tacos at Aubrey’s would have done the trick. First, start with the wrapping. The soft flour tortilla shells are toasted to that perfect blend of crunchysoft, just right to fold around the stuffings. While I’m not one to cut flour tortillas into toast points and dip them into salsa, I think I could with these. Can’t do that, of course, because the generous stuffing is all the wrap

Fifth Third Bank’s city executive Jonathan Godfrey gives homeowner Tiffany Lale a hug. Photos by R. White Rebuilding Together Knoxville board member Jack Holland pitches in to paint a shed at the home of Cameron and Tiffany Lale.

Lale family gets help married at 19 and later began a family. Earlier this year, their son, Jaxon, 6, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He will receive chemotherapy five times a week until January 2015 with maintenance treatments twice a month for approximately two more years. In September, funding

was cut for Cameron’s position with a family readiness program, and he lost his job. The high cost of medical expenses and loss of income have made it impossible for the family to afford basic home repairs. Rebuilding Together Knoxville and Fifth Third Bank partnered to help the Lale family with repairs including a new roof, new

heating/air system, new gutters, exterior painting and a new bathroom. Thanks to volunteer labor and the generosity of area companies, the Lales are able to focus their attention on their two children. “We are so overwhelmed by this outpouring,” said Tiffany. “Thank you for your time and your prayers. We are truly touched.”

What are his priorities as a community leader? “Fountain City needs more cornerstone businesses like Litton’s. We must give people a reason to come here.” For Rotary specifically, Nic wants to start a hiking club for young adolescents, partnering perhaps with a group like Emerald Youth Foundation. “They’ve got a bus and insurance,” he says. Rotary members would add adult supervision and mentoring. Nicaud also mentions a “healthy run” along Fountain City’s dogwood trails each spring. Working with club member Larry May, he wants to promote literacy by donating books to schools and retirement homes. The club’s big project is support of the Cerebral Palsy home in Fountain City. On World Rotary Day, all clubs will converge on the home to paint, landscape and remodel the house. Speakers last week were Ralph H.

No fall downturn for real estate By Sherry Witt After closing the third quarter with a Sept e m b e r surge, local real estate and mortgage markets c ont i nued to perform Sherry Witt relatively well in October. For the month ending Friday, Oct. 31, there were 889 property transfers in Knox County, 48 more than the total sales in September. The aggregate value of property sold was $207.3 million, slightly behind Sep-

tember but some $42 million ahead of last October’s pace. The slowdown often experienced by real estate markets in the fall has yet to happen. While mortgage lending in October lagged about $36 million behind the September figures, the total of $288 million was still better than that of October 2013 by about $33 million. After a slow first half of 2014, mortgage lending over the past few months is outperforming 2013 levels. The most notable property transfer was Raintree Apartments off Gleason Drive in West Knoxville. The sale came in at just over

Windsor Gardens

$10.3 million. The largest mortgage transaction of the month was the financing of a hotel property at 9617 Parkside Drive in the amount of $15.5 million. With just two months remaining, property sales in 2014 continue to run ahead of the previous year, albeit slightly. As of Oct. 31, about $1.92 billion worth of real estate has changed hands in Knox County, compared to approximately $1.76 billion during the first 10 months of last year. While mortgage activity has picked up, the year-todate totals are still nearly $600 million behind those from 2013.

He was in sad shape, with an injury that hadn’t been properly treated, but there was something about him that caught her attention. “He just stood out, and she did some homework,” says Gillenwater, who had owned the horse a few years back. “She put it together while she was on the way to Pennsylvania, and she called me from the road.” Gillenwater says buyers at the New Holland, Pa., auction probably would be Amish farmers looking for strong, working hors-

By Betsy Pickle It may be as close to the “Black Beauty” story as a 21st-century tale can get. Near the end of October, Vicki Gillenwater, owner of Scenic View Farm, listened to a message on her phone: “You need to call me ASAP.” The woman who left the message is a West Virginiabased horse shipper who transports horses all over the country. She and Gillenwater both belong to the close-knit horse community – Gillenwater breeds, raises and shows horses. Her latest star is the Friesian horse Zander fan Camelot. The shipper had picked

es. Prospects for one that couldn’t carry his weight were not good. (In the old days, people would think of the “glue factory”; nowadays, it would more likely be a dog-food factory in Canada.) The shipper was sure that Gillenwater wouldn’t want her former horse to meet such a fate. When they talked, the shipper offered to drop him off at Scenic View Farm after she made her other stops. And that’s how Sparky came home to West Knoxville last week. Gillenwater started riding horses at 6, and her parents encouraged her pasVicki Gillenwater loves on Sparky, newly returned to Scenic View Farm. Photos by Betsy Pickle

sion. Her mother, Dorothy, became so involved that she launched Scenic View Farm in 1980, breeding, raising and selling Saddlebreds and Hackney ponies with the help of trainer Bobby Wolfenbarger. Gillenwater’s focus was always horses, though she managed to graduate from Webb School of Knoxville and Centre College in Kentucky and earn her master’s from the University of Tennessee. She and her horses have earned basketsful of ribbons. She and Wolfenbarger were at the World Championship horse show in Louisville, Ky., when Wolfenbarger suffered a heart attack and died in 2000. After deep consideration, the family decided to forge on with assistant Jacques Van Niekerk stepping into the trainer’s shoes. Within five years, Gillenwater’s mother and her father, Paul, an attorney, died of cancer, forcing Gillenwater to ponder the future again. With the support of Van Niekerk and Wolfenbarger’s widow, Becky, the new farm owner pushed forward. Sparky, whose official name is We’re Having Fun Now, came along soon afterward. “He was one of the first show horses that I bought, that I speculated on, after my parents passed away

– my parents had always bought the show horses,” says Gillenwater. “That horse was a great competitor for me; he was a great friend to me.” After a time, she sold Sparky to a good friend for her daughter to ride. “I wanted him to have a good home, and I really love these people,” she says. “It was a great fit, and I love the daughter. She showed him and was successful maybe one or two years. “When she was finished, they retired him, and he was sold to a lesson program, so kids learned to ride on him. While he was in the lesson program, he sustained an injury to a ligament.” Gillenwater says that’s when Sparky’s downward spiral began, but with the blessing of her trainer, the horse will live out his days at Scenic View, saved from an unthinkable fate. “We looked at him this morning, and I know it’s impossible to know what a horse thinks, but I think he knows,” she says. Sparky, 18, has three elder playmates, ages 29, 29 and 27, respectively. “We turned him out with them – that’s going to be his life,” says Gillenwater. “He’ll roll around and get dirty. He’s been chewing on the fences, sort of driving me nuts already, but that’s OK. He was there for me when we needed it.”
