S.O.R. Losers It was good enough for Charles Dickens and Alexandre Dumas, so we think Shopper News parents, grandparents and certainly children will like it, too. Today the Shopper News introduces a 14-week serial story, “S.O.R. Losers.�

The serial story – made famous by “The Pickwick Papers� and “The Three Musketeers� – is a complete book that is published one segment at a time. “S.O.R. Losers,� the story of a misfit sports team, is written

by Newberry Award Winner Avi and illustrated by Timothy Bush. The first chapter begins today and will be followed by 13 more chapters, bringing the story to its conclusion on July 6. Each segment can be read in five to six minutes.

Prospects ponder race for county mayor

By Betty Bean Two years out from the 2018 county elections, there’s half a gaggle of candidates thinking about running for mayor.

Don’t look for County Commissioner Bob Thomas to run for re-election to his at-large commission seat in 2018, even though he’ll be finishing his first term. He’ll be too busy running for mayor.

Thomas is making plans to succeed Tim Burchett, who is termlimited. He’s tearing a page from Burchett’s campaign book and will be the guest-of-honor at an old-timey baloney-cutting May 11.

That’ll be on a Wednesday, starting at 11:30 at Powell Auction & Realty – the venue where Burchett kicked off his campaign for county mayor. “We’re expecting 1,500,� Thomas said. “The Chillbillies are playing and we’ll have R.C. Colas and Moon Pies. It’ll be a big party.�

Thomas has had a long career in radio broadcasting, once owned a hockey team and has written

Smith said he will be honored at the school board April 6 as a National Merit Scholarship finalist.

Another county commissioner, Brad Anders, is also mulling a run for mayor. Anders, a former commission chair, is a lieutenant and a crisis negotiator in the Knoxville Police Department whose name used to come up as a candidate for sheriff, as well. “That one (sheriff) is not as prominent in the conversation as it once was,� Anders said. “At this point, I haven’t ruled either one of them out, and I don’t know exactly To page A-3

Hips to Hoops

Dad’s still in the game after MS leads to hip surgery Kendrick Tate picks up a basketball, slowly dribbles his way to the far side of the court just beyond the three-point circle. In one smooth, arching flick of the wrist, the ball strips the net. Whoosh!

What’s better than a threepointer with your 9-year-old son watching? Not much.

“He’s the best shooter I know,” a grinning Preston McLeskey says of his Dad. “Good answer,” his father responds with a smile.

They have the court all to themselves this afternoon as Tate, a 41-year-old single father of three, teaches his son the fundamentals of a game he so loved not that many years ago at Austin-East High School. Tate’s youthful appearance and broad smile belies the agony he was in just months earlier before he had both hips replaced at Parkwest Medical Center by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Hal Cates.

“Oh, I love Dr. Cates,” Tate says without hesitation. “I’ll be forever grateful.

He’s just a good man, and I’m not just saying that to build him up.

But when you are going to have a serious proceDr. Hal Cates dure done, you want somebody you can trust and somebody who is going to be honest with you. And he was that from Day One. He just had that comforting effect, so I was not nervous about the surgery. I felt like I was in good hands. So I prayed and prayed about it, and I was just at peace with him. I mean, if you can convince me to have both of my hips replaced at the same time, you have done something. So I have to give him his kudos. I’ll be forever grateful for that man.”

“The bottom line on Mr. Tate was that he was a young man with a severe loss of motion in his hips due to his multiple sclerosis,” said

With his new hips, Kendrick Tate is able to play basketball with his son again.

Dr. Cates. “It was difficult for him to walk, to go up steps, to turn, to do any type of daily living activity with his son. It’s unusual for patients to get bilateral hip replacements done simultaneously, but if the patient is healthy enough like he was, it’s actually easier to get them both done at the same time.”

The surgery, Tate says, was “life-changing,” permitting him to still enjoy the teaching sessions with his son Preston and spending time with daughters Larah, 16, and Kyla, 10.

He himself had hoped to play college ball, but life has a habit of unfolding in unexpected ways. “I realized that basketball was not going to be my avenue as far as making a lifestyle,” he said. “I was good but I wasn’t that good.”

Instead, Tate found his calling as a probation officer and director of the Community Service program of the Knox County Juvenile Court. “I enjoy it,” he says. “I like working with kids. That was my calling. That’s why I’m not in the NBA. That’s what He [God] in-

structed so that’s where I am.”

But his life took another turn about six years ago when he began experiencing numbness in his hands and arms. “I knew something was going on, but I shrugged it off for a long time,” he said. “But I knew ultimately I had to go see what it was.”

The neurologist’s diagnosis – multiple sclerosis (MS), an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body – left Tate stunned.

“It was a shock because I had been relatively healthy, and this meant I couldn’t play basketball so that was a killer,” he said. “So hearing that news and not knowing what exactly MS was all about – I was thinking, ‘Is it like cancer?’ – I didn’t know.”

Fortunately, his MS had been caught early, perhaps as soon as three months after its onset. “They

did some tests and found lesions on my brain and spinal cord,” he said. “They put me on steroids for about a month and said that would deteriorate the lesions.”

The steroids did just that, but not without cost. A couple months later, while playing a game of pickup basketball, he felt some “slippage” in his hips and noticed he couldn’t slide his feet laterally, as in doing defensive drills.

“At first, I thought it was the MS, that it was moving rapidly and it was taking its course,” said Tate.

“I couldn’t figure it out. Then, I thought maybe I had just played too long that day. But I knew something wasn’t right so I went back to my doctor.”

That’s when he learned that the steroids had caused both hip joints to deteriorate. Fearful of surgery, he procrastinated. “I was thinking ‘I’ll deal with this until I’m 70,’ not grasping the realization of the situation,” he said.

“During that whole time, my hips were deteriorating. It went from me doing a casual sprint to not being able to run at all. My hips pretty much folded. I couldn’t spread my legs apart. We’re talking just a minor separation. I could not lift my legs up. Anything to do with the legs, I could not do. At one point, it hurt to walk. Out of a pain scale of 1 to 10, it was like a 15. That’s how bad it was.”

Finally, Tate sought out Dr. Cates. “I just trusted him from Day One,” he said. “We just had that rapport. He was like, ‘You want to stop hurting? You need to have the surgery. It’s that plain and simple.’ After talking with him, I got that reassurance. I was tired of hurting. I had gone from being in good shape to being like a 75-year-old man. That just wasn’t working. I got tired. I wanted to stop hurting.”

On April 8, 2015, Kendrick Tate was rolled into an operating room at Parkwest Medical Center. When he emerged, he had two new hips and a new outlook on life.

“Now I’m flying and bouncing around. Now, I walk just to be walking. I’m back to being my old self,” said Tate. “Before, you could see the grief, the strain, the stress, the pain on my face, but now it’s like total happiness. To me, it’s a new lease on life. I’m going to enjoy these hips for the rest of my life. I’m going to get my usage out of them.”

As for his MS, Tate says it’s under control with medication. “To be honest, I can’t tell I have it anymore,” he said. “Since they put me on medication, it doesn’t hinder me and I still work out and I can still play basketball – maybe not as well as I want to, but I can still play. And that’s enough for me.”

That includes, of course, working with Preston on “just the fundamentals, just learning the game, why you are out there, and understanding what you are doing and why you are doing it as opposed to just being on the court,” he says.

“It makes it much more fun when you know what you are doing.”

No wonder Tate’s son calls him a “fun teacher.”

“He tries to tell me how to dribble with two basketballs and also tries to teach me how to do dribble between my legs or behind my back,” Preston said.

Dad has learned some lessons, too.

“If you are thinking about hip replacement surgery, and know you need to have it and you’re having a lot of pain that’s affecting your daily living, go have it done,” he said. “Things you would normally do you won’t do. I wouldn’t go to basketball games, I wouldn’t go to football games, because it was hard for me to climb the bleachers. It’s life-changing.

Get your life back because nobody should be forced to live in pain.”

What is multiple sclerosis (MS)?

Thought to be an autoimmune disorder, multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. It can be relatively benign, disabling or devastating. Some individuals with MS may be mildly affected, while others may lose their ability to see clearly, write, speak, or walk when communication between the brain and other parts of the body becomes disrupted.

Patients with MS lose myelin, a fatty tissue that surrounds and protects the nerve fibers, causing scar tissue (also called sclerosis, plaquesor lesions) in multiple areas with MS. When damaged in this way, the nerves are unable to conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain.

The exact cause of MS is unknown, although genetics, environmental factors and viruses are possible culprits. Because there is no definitive test available to diagnose multiple sclerosis, a probable MS diagnoses can be made by following a careful process to uncover symptoms consistent with MS while ruling out other causes and diseases.

Trouble is, however, that MS symptoms vary widely from patient to patient. They may be mild or severe, of long duration or short. They may appear in various combinations, depending on the area of the nervous system affected. About 50 percent of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments related to their disease. The effects of these impairments may be mild, often detectable only after comprehensive testing, and may include difficulty with concentration, attention, memory and/or poor judgment.

Specific treatment for MS will be determined by your doctor based on: ■ Your age, overall health and medical history ■ Extent of the disease ■ Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies ■ Expectations for the course of the disease ■ Your opinion or preference

Treatments for the conditions associated with MS may include: ■ Medication ■ Clinical trials ■ Assistive technology ■ Rehabilitation activities There is no cure yet for MS. However, there are strategies to modify the disease course, treat exacerbations, manage symptoms and improve function and mobility.

ORTHOPEDIC EXCELLENCE Patients who undergo elective orthopedic surgeries at high-volume, regional hospitals have better surgical outcomes and experience fewer complications than those who undergo those surgeries at local hospitals.* Ask how many joint replacement surgeries your surgeon does and trust your care to the experienced orthopedic surgeons at Parkwest.

Highlights from the reunion gala college was at South-Doyle High School where he found a touch of Powell. Rick Walker was principal and Clark Duncan was coaching football. He recalls a funny annual photo in which Duncan is attempting to teach Smith to drive. “We found an old driver ed car ‌â€?

Smith now holds a doctorate and was recognized by local and state educators for his work at Carter Middle School last year. When he returned to Powell High as principal, he encountered “eight of my former teachers looking back at me� during his first faculty meeting.

Wrapping up his first year, Smith flatly says his goal is to restore Powell High’s reputation as the best public high school in Knox County. “We’re the fourth largest high school in the district with about 1,400 students. The boundaries are Clinton Highway from the county line to the interstate (I-640). We have more diversity now than we’ve ever had.�

He discussed the school’s academic departments, saying Powell has the premier science department in KCS. In English, “we’re still reading Shakespeare,� but the faculty is also handling the yearbook and an upcoming student newspaper. Kids now have to take math every year, presenting a challenge to that department.

Powell High has “one of the largest number of Advanced Placement classes offered and most of them are in social studies.� The fine arts faculty is stellar, he said, and Powell has the largest marching band in Knox County. World languages include Spanish and Latin, “a very rigorous class.�

Reunion entertainers are The Southern Belles from Powell High School: Hannah Manner, Ellie Smith, Abigail Brown and AnnaBelle Rabinowitz.

Athletically, Powell is strong with baseball winning three of the last four district tournaments and the girls soccer team one game away from the state tournament.

Smith anticipates facility upgrades. He noted that Powell was among the first in Knox County to get a new turf football field, which will be installed around April 15. It will have orange end zones with black letters and a giant Panther’s paw at midfield.

Prospects for mayor what the drop-dead decision date is.�

Anders has served as a commissioner since 2008 and has been with KPD for 24 years, and said he has professional and family decisions to make before he can think about running for mayor. “A lot of things would have to click in the right way for that to happen,� he said.

Former state Rep. Ryan Haynes is also a potential candidate. Haynes, who resigned from the General Assembly to become state GOP chair, pooh-poohs that notion. When pressed he offered this statement: “I’ll say this. I’m flattered my name has been men-

tioned, but I have a job to do, and it’s way premature to start a new campaign season when the current one isn’t even over. The last thing we need is individual interests dividing up our communities.�

And, finally, there’s Criminal Court Clerk Mike Hammond, who could not be reached for comment. Court clerks are not subject to term limits, and Hammond, who was elected clerk in 2014, is considered an unlikely mayoral contender.

Democratic Party chair Cameron Brooks says so far no Democrats have expressed interest in the office.

New pump, wetland to improve Fountain City Lake The city of Knoxville’s efforts to restore Fountain City Lake took a major step forward last Tuesday when City Council voted unanimously to authorize a contract of up to $91,250 with a Knoxville company to install a new pump, pipes and other infrastructure.

The pump, to be installed

by Design & Construction Services Inc. by late spring, will restore constant circulation in the lake, increase oxygen levels in the water and moderate temperatures to reduce the growth of algae.

Meanwhile, Fountain City Town Hall will host an

open discussion of lake improvements at 7 p.m. Monday, April 11, at Church of the Good Shepherd, 5337 Jacksboro Pike. Speakers are Joe Walsh, director of city parks and recreation, and Dr. Garry Menendez, landscape architect and Fountain City resident.

Last fall, the city repaired a leak in the earthen berm around the lake. A new water outlet structure was installed, allowing the lake to fill to its proper depth.

Next, a small wetland will be developed in what’s now a shallow spot on the lake’s northern end.

Honors weekend for Tennessee track

Track and field Volunteers from the golden era of Chuck Rohe and Stan Huntsman will honor 50 years of Ed Murphey Award winners Friday at a country club reception and dinner.

On Saturday, the University of Tennessee track program will recognize a lifetime of contributions by Terry Hull Crawford, former champion runner and women’s coach at UT, Texas and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. She evolved into coaching coaches for USA Track and Field.

Trust hard to come by during school threats The parents who attended Karen Carson’s meeting at Farragut High School were calm, but when they spoke, the tension of dealing with four separate school threats was evident.

They voiced concerns about who was in charge during a crisis − the school or the sheriff’s office? They questioned whether kids should be locked down in classrooms if there was potentially a bomb in the building. One was upset about not being able to help a child who got sick while on lockdown in the football stadium.

Mostly, they were frustrated over a lack of trustworthy communication.

What kind of threats were being made, and how were students being kept safe?

Wendy Smith

While the safety of students is the highest priority, there’s a delicate balance between enough and too much information, explained District 5 school board member Carson. Too little info frustrates parents; too much inspires copycats.

It’s a legitimate concern. Threats at Farragut Intermediate, Hardin Valley Academy and Hardin Valley Elementary schools followed the Farragut High threats.

Knox County Schools

Chief of Security Gus Paidousis explained why communicating during a crisis is a challenge. The only thing worse than no information is bad information, and when things are constantly changing, it’s difficult to provide accurate information, he said. Too much information could also allow someone who intends harm to anticipate strategy and do more damage.

Carson asked parents not to call the school during a crisis, but to trust that staff are doing everything they can to protect kids. Superintendent Jim McIntyre said schools need to communicate with parents, but after that, parents need to trust that the best decisions are being made.

That’s a tall order for parents. Those of us with teenage children remember the shock of Columbine.

We were horrified by the murders at Virginia Tech, and we grieved with the parents of the innocents killed at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Local incidents like shootings at Central High School and Inskip Elementary School have also impacted us.

We know, rationally, that these are rare events. But all of us have imagined hearing the news that there’s been an incident at our child’s school.

It’s easy to imagine a student plotting to cancel classes for a day or two by writing a threatening mes-

newspaper ad announcing that the Knoxville Track Club was forming a women’s team. About 50 girls and women, ages 10 to 20, responded. Terry, 17, out of Greeneville High School, was in the group.

She became a three-time Volunteer all-American, winning the national 220 and 440 in 1969 and the 880 in 1970. She competed in the World University Games and Pan-American Games and twice got close to Olympic teams.

Terry came back as coach of women’s track. Her 1981 team won the national championship, first in any women’s sport at Tennessee. Among her other distinctions was the recruitment of sprinter and jumper Holly Warlick from Bearden High. Holly also wanted to try basketball. The rest is history.

There came a time when Texas offered Terry a better coaching opportunity (more money). Tennessee athletic director Bob Woodruff listened as Terry explained.

He could have countered.

He didn’t.

Terry went to Austin.

Her Longhorns won five NCAA championships and 18 Southwest Conference titles. Her 1986 team was the only triple winner in history – indoors, outdoors and in cross-country.

Terry reappeared at the World and Pan-Am games as coach of U.S. teams. She was America’s coach at the 1988 Olympics. She won enough meets and produced enough all-Americans to coach 17 years at Cal PolySan Luis Obispo.

sage on the wall. But, as Carson said, every threat has to be treated as if it’s real, which calls for lockdowns, bomb squads and bomb-sniffing dogs. Those things can make any parent less than rational, less able to trust.

Parents are not the only ones affected. Farragut High School junior Viktoria Ohstrom spoke up at the meeting to say that she

didn’t know what was happening during last week’s threat, and it seemed like teachers didn’t know, either.

“That’s what scares people. Not the threats.”

Communication is important, but the only thing that parents and students really want to hear is that the crisis is over and all is well. Until that’s the message, it will be hard to trust.

Revered Ag teacher blooms in new garden Two years ago, life looked grim for Mike Blankenship.

Betty Bean At a time when he was facing serious family illnesses, he was notified that his agricultural program at North Knox Career Technical Education Center in Halls was being disbanded because of declining enrollment. His students were distraught. “2014 was a very tumultuous time. My son passed away, then my dad p a s s e d away three m o n t h s later. Two deaths in the family – plus the spiraling down Blankenship process at work. Anytime you’re RIFed, it’s tough.�

But his students, particularly rising seniors Ryan Cox and James Dunn, decided to fight for their Future Farmers of America club and their teacher. When CTE supervisor Don Lawson found a spot for Blankenship at the Career Magnet Academy in East Knox County, their efforts spurred him to allow Blankenship to spend part

of the school day at North Knox, so Cox, Dunn and their classmates could finish their agriculture studies and continue to participate in FFA. It involved a lot of driving, but Blankenship says the commute was a snap compared to his first 12 years of teaching when he made a 50-mile round trip to and from his home in Gibbs to Doyle High School (he has been a teacher with Knox County Schools for 37 years).

This year, he’s at CMA full-time, and has found a

niche in the school’s Sustainable Pathway, where 13 students – most from north and east Knox County – enrolled in the program. One has moved, so he’s down to 12, still twice the number he was teaching at the Halls campus. He is proud that 11 of them will be headed “upstairs� next year to take college-level classes (CMA is housed on the ground floor of the Strawberry Plains Pike branch of Pellissippi State), and he’s proud of the brand-new FFA Chapter TNO337 he’s established there.

His teaching day starts with an agricultural science class, and he’s added an agricultural business and finance class in the second term and hopes to expand into business finance. “Our pathway is a little different from any other program in the county. This is all so new, like building a plane – you look out and we’re working on this wing.

We’re always in transition.

No two days are alike.�

Blankenship is also teaching college and career readiness to ninth-graders, beginning the process of preparing them for the future. He is proud that his students will be able to enroll in dual-credit (college level) courses that will put them far along the path to college degrees.

But one thing he misses is having a greenhouse like the one he built on the Halls campus, where he maintained an annual Christmas tradition of raising and selling poinsettias. “Oh, I miss it. But we’re working on that. It’s still in the talking stage, but we’ve ID’d potential locations.�

Overall, Blankenship is grateful for the new challenge and optimistic about the future. “I am not an ax grinder,� he said. “Whatever is put in front of me, I’ll do my best to reach young people. I’m still standing.�

Ashes, McIntyre (not that one) tour Cuba Three weeks ago, my wife Joan and I, along with my sister-in-law Kathy Ashe from Atlanta, joined a Yale Alumni Tour of Cuba for 10 days. It was fascinating. As Joan says, it was a trip not a vacation.

Also on the trip was another Knoxvillian, Dr. Anne McIntyre, who is a retired UT professor of psychology and lives in Sequoyah Hills.

We flew into Santiago from Miami on the eastern end of the island not far from Guantanamo Bay where the United States has a military facility. For the next six days we journeyed across the island and ultimately arrived in Havana two days after President Obama’s visit.

While the people were friendly and genuinely seem to want an improved relationship with the U.S., the economy and lifestyle were clearly third world. Cuba is longer than Tennessee (about 700 miles) and the eastern end has been neglected by various regimes.

Deferred maintenance is the order of the day as many historic buildings were collapsing or close to it. Carts were pulled by oxen or horses including carts used as taxis to transport people.

fore his remarks were blasted by Fidel Castro who stills lives and appears from time to time in well-planned venues. But it was Fidel’s brother, Raul, the current president, who hosted Obama.

It was also clear that change is coming to Cuba, but at a very measured pace.

In terms of infrastructure and advancing into this century for their economic well-being the country is 30 years behind. In terms of democratic processes, it’s not there in any meaningful way. ■Blount Mansion

Burchett boosts Jackie’s Dream CafÊ The place was packed, but no one was complaining when Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett and his people came to lunch at Jackie’s Dream.

Jackie’s Dream CafĂŠ opened March 6, 2015, at 2223 McCalla Avenue. It was a life dream for owner Jackie Booker Griffin. “I come from a family that cooks,â€? she writes on her website. “It’s what my mother, grandmother and uncles taught me. “We made our own jelly, chow-chow, pickles. My grandfather had chickens

so we had fresh eggs. We hardly ever went to the store. We made everything from scratch, and I continue to do it that way. Everything is peeled, cut and chopped here. We eliminate cans whenever we can. I had fresh green beans and corn all summer long.�

Since taking office, Burchett has used the occasional Dutch-treat lunch with the mayor to showcase locally owned restaurants.

This one is known for its soul food and hot chicken.

Hours and menu are online at jackiesdream.com

We’re cooking!

The District 6 Democratic Party is always angling to get pictures into the Shopper. There are the frequent trash pick-ups, the various parades, the frequent guest speakers. But the March meeting takes the prize.

Seems county commission candidate Donna Lucas was guest speaker. Janice Spoone said some members arrived early to find a fire truck at the Karns Middle School, smoke everywhere and their library meeting place closed.

Mike Knapp rushed to “We’re Cooking� to arrange a meeting space while Spoone and the school librarian found paper, markers and tape to post notices of the meeting change. The smoke was from a new heating/ air system and all is well. “You would have loved the excitement,� wrote Spoone. “Other than the fact that I probably smelled like smoke, we had a good group for the Lucas campaign meeting.�

The cars are in large part holdovers from the 1950s which have been continually restored due to the embargo and lack of new vehicles being imported. On the other hand, the bus we rode in was brand new as were most buses for tourists. Internet service was spotty at best and expensive for Cubans ($2 an hour).

Hotels outside Havana were clean but basic in their service. Parts of Havana itself were modern and current and other parts were collapsing. The drive we took from Ernest Hemingway’s home outside Havana to the central part of the city passed several highly impoverished areas.

Havana itself has an incredible old city which exceeds San Juan in Puerto Rico in size but has been neglected since the Castro revolution.

While President Obama made overturns to the Cuban people, he had not been gone more than one day be-

Dr. McEntee has written a book titled “Molsey Blount: Colonial First Lady of Tennessee.� ■Groundbreak ing for the new $160 million State Museum in Nashville is today with Gov. Haslam and author Jon Meacham leading the ceremony.

The new facility is needed, but its design has been roundly criticized by several architects. The firm employed is from Minnesota with little knowledge of Tennessee as several

Tennessee firms, including Knoxville’s McCarty Holsaple, were rejected.

The Nashville Scene has described it as “a dumb box of a porch with no time or place and mute to the expressive powers of architecture.� The Museum Commission on which I serve had no role in the design of the building. The final say was made at a higher level.

I hope the governor takes another look at this design after the ground is broken so that like our State Capitol it is seen as an iconic building 50 to 100 years from now.

Redbud trees, bugs and bees We’ve been having a redbud season that must rank up there among the best.

The past couple of weeks have given us abundant sunshine, steady warmish temperatures, and frequent rain showers, and our wonderfully native and widespread redbud trees have responded with a huge flower show.

Last week I was walking around the grounds enjoying all those exuberant blossom – filled trees with their peatype flowers (they are in the legume family – notice those pea-pod fruits later on) when I was stopped at one big redbud in particular.

There amongst the blossoms was a little yellowrumped warbler, not 10 feet away, briskly checking out every twig nook and bark cranny for whatever tiny insects it could capture. It was finding a steady supply of minute, mobile bits of protein, so small that I couldn’t even see what it was catching.

Just what a hyperactive, carnivorous little bird needs to build up for spring courting, nest-building, brood-raising activities.

But as I watched the bird feeding on all those invisible critters, something else struck me about that tree full of blossoms: it was alive with bigger things too, a cloud of flitting, buzzing, flying things, all working over the tree’s flowers and – lucky for them – apparently not on the bird’s menu. Bugs!

The entomologists divide the enormous world of insects up into various orders and families, and in the precise way that they do it, “bugs,� or as they like to say, “the true bugs,� are one specific group of insects, with leathery wing covers and piercing and sucking mouthparts (yuck!). They include the likes of bedbugs, stink bugs, squash bugs, and those flashy orange-and-

black milkweed bugs.

But to us mere mortals, “bugs� is a wonderfully useful word for any small crawly thing we might encounter, and probably look upon with suspicion, distrust, or fear: bees, beetles, spiders, ticks and mosquitoes, even crawfish (mudbugs), and viruses (the flu bug).

And as my redbud tree demonstrated, springtime brings them out in droves.

I’m sure you’ve heard someone say “what we need is a good cold winter to get rid of all those bugs.� That won’t happen, friends, unless we were to have another Ice Age around here. This past December, we had a nice mild day when I watched a hatch of swarming little mosquitosized gnats outside our front window, then a hungry phoebe out there nipping them out of the air. The bugs are safe and sound, ready to go on a moment’s notice.

But back to the redbud tree – all that buzzing and flitting got me to looking around to see what else was going on.

And sure enough, there was a lot more. Not just in the air, but on the ground, and under it. As I trudged farther along, I noticed scattered here and there a bunch of newly-constructed ant communities.

Not just a hill, but a spreadout operation with piles of excavated earth over maybe a couple of feet of real estate.

Quarter-inch businesslike black ants were going about, some carrying loads of stuff three times their size.

The March/April issue of The Tennessee Conser-

vationist has an article by Lizzie Wright, entitled The Ants of Tennessee. She relates that of the 13,000 species of ants on earth, some 127 species live in Tennessee. And that doesn’t include those dreaded invaders from South America, the fire ants, spreading ever northward and now here in Tennessee.

More different ants than you can imagine!

But mostly, except for occasional visitations into our kitchens or our picnics, we almost never notice all those millions of ants there beneath our feet. The flickers surely do, though. Our local woodpecker most likely to be seen on the ground, flickers like nothing better than to sit beside an ant colony and pick them off, one by one.

Back to the air, though. As far as big hard-working families go, the bees are the flying counterparts to our underground friends, the ants.

And like the ants, there are a lot more of them than you might think, too. Of course, there are our familiar honey bees. They aren’t native to North America; they are immigrants to North America, like most of our ancestors. In fact, many of our ancestors brought colonies of honey bees with them from their Old Countries.

It turns out, though, that there were a lot of other bees already here in North America when those newcomers arrived – a lot more. There are 20,000 species of bees in the world, 4,000 native to the United States. They range in size from a tiny 1/12 inch bee to a more-than-inch-long behemoth. Over 90 percent of the species are solitary – they have a family consisting of one momma bee and her few offspring. The rest live in various-sized, but bigger, colonies that we’re more familiar with.

And what good are those bees? Well, they pollinate over 75 percent of all our food crops. Without bees, no fruits, berries, vegetables, nuts, chocolate or coffee.

And our honey bees continue to alarmingly decline, due to disease, insecticides and herbicides. In a major applegrowing area of China, they are having to use people on ladders, hand-pollinating each apple blossom, one by tedious one, to produce apples. They’ve sprayed all their local bees into extinction! In our country, all those native bees are shouldering more of the load on crop pollination.

Farmers are learning more about how important they are (and actually, always have been) and are taking measures to protect and encourage them. It’s working.

How about all those bugs as major bird food? Of course the birds eat tons of caterpillars and grasshoppers. We wouldn’t have many leaves left on anything if it weren’t for the birds. But in the air?

Those swifts, swallows,

nighthawks, kingbirds and phoebes aren’t swooping around up there just for the exercise. Some curious scientists have rigged up flying machines with various bug traps, and come up with the astonishing figure that one square mile of air there just over our heads can contain as many as 32 million flying insects! Good for the birds, and very good for us earthlings here below, that the birds are up there consuming zillions of bugs daily.

There are a lot more bugs we haven’t mentioned, many that make our world look, feel and sound more like home to us. There are bugs that eat the bugs that would be eating our stuff – aphids, for example.

And others spend their waking hours eating mosquitoes. Butterflies, dragonflies, crickets and katydids – they’re here now or soon will be, adding a splash of color and some lovely evening music. All part of that big Web of Life unfolding out there in April. It’s really worth a closer look!

Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Yes, Easter is past, but I am convinced that Easter is like Christmas: it is never “over.�

I am still processing something I wrote last week: “Isn’t it odd that not one of that blood-thirsty crowd bothered to stand at the foot of the cross and actually witness the agony of their victim?�

The 11 disciples who remained (Judas committed suicide after his betrayal of Jesus) were in hiding, fearful of the Jewish leaders. Simon Peter – who had declared his allegiance to Jesus, promising to die with him, if need be – hid, cowering behind closed doors.

However, the women who followed Jesus were at the foot of the cross.

The Gospels give differing accounts of which women, exactly, but Mary, the mother of James and Joseph (who was arguably also the mother of Jesus), Mary Magdalene, Salome, the un-named mother of the sons of Ze-

Making a difference one block at a time

By Nancy Anderson Pastor Todd Stewart and Mike Brogdon, Lonsdale community ministry leader, led a team of 40 members of Grace Baptist Church on April 2 for their monthly mission to make a difference in the Lonsdale community.

The Adopt-A-Block team meets the first Saturday of each month, visiting 150200 homes to give small gifts and offering prayer or minor house repairs. “We usually have a small practical gift to offer, like

9-volt batteries for their smoke alarms or light bulbs.

If they’re elderly or unable, we’ll replace it for them. If they need minor repairs and own their home, we’ll make a note of that and refer it on to The Crew, a ministry of folks at the church who will come out to do those repairs.�

Stewart said they don’t perform the repairs as acts of charity. “We are not a system that just gives things away.

We ask them if they have a

New orchestra sets concert

By Carol Z. Shane Knoxville is bursting with Rhythm ‘n’ Blooms this weekend, and music and art of all types abound.

One fairly “new kid on the block� is the Scruffy City Orchestra, Knoxville’s first and only community orchestra. They’ll be presenting their very first concert, “Old Friends, New Faces,� this Friday.

The orchestra will be led by two local conductors, Ace Edewards and Matt Wilkinson, who’ve been on board from the beginning.

Wilkinson, a cellist, veteran of the Knox County “Strings in the Schools� program and currently director of the Maryville High School Orchestra, says, “A group of community members that played

in the Maryville community orchestra while I was the conductor contacted me about starting a Knoxville community orchestra, and after a night at Central Flats and Taps we formed the Scruffy City Orchestra and board. The idea is creating an atmosphere for amateur musicians to have a place to perform quality classical music.�

Anyone who is interested in playing in future rehearsals and concerts is urged to contact the SCO. “All are welcome� says Edewards.

The Scruffy City Orchestra’s spring concert, “Old Friends, New Faces,� will be presented at 7:30 p.m. this Friday, April 8, at First Baptist Church, 510 W. Main St. in Knoxville. General admission is $5 at the door.

There are big things on the horizon for the AdoptA-Block program.

A Lonsdale house was donated to the church, and the city of Knoxville has a building they’re willing to rent for $1 a year.

Stewart hopes to start a medical clinic in the front part of the building and possibly conduct English

It is fair to point out that women counted for nothing in that culture, so they were no threat to the Roman soldiers who were carrying out the execution. Women were of no consequence in the eyes of the soldiers.

Still, I am reminded of what Jacqueline Kennedy said after the assassination of her husband.

When they were finally aboard Air Force One, flying to Washington, someone gently suggested to Mrs. Kennedy that she change out of the bloodspattered pink suit she was still wearing. “No,� she said emphatically. “Let them see what they’ve done!� gap between programs like Habitat for Humanity and other housing programs.

It takes a village to raise a child. In the case of students at Northwest Middle School, it takes a community. Northwest is a community school, and they are using all possible resources to help their students succeed every day.

A community school doesn’t just exist after school hours, but is ongoing throughout the school day. Community businesses and members provide support and resources to help build solid foundations for students. “There is always activity going on at the school,â€? said community schools site resource coordinator Liz Thacker. They offer a ton of after-school activities, allow use of the ball ďŹ elds and track by community groups and during school hours they team up with different partners to

provide educational opportunities for all grade levels.

The school’s after-school art club has been going strong since the Thanksgiving holiday. Teacher Kevin Gentry shares his passion for art by volunteering his time to work with budding artists. While most of the students are in the club because they have an interest, some join to see what’s going on and stay because they enjoy the atmosphere and learning experience.

Seventh grader Paris Markel has been interested

White in art since she was three years old but says that she started taking it seriously in sixth grade. She likes to work with materials from scratch. Paris hopes to design creatures for the movies one day. Channing Gentry also enjoys art and creating things. Her father

is an art teacher, so it runs in her blood. She enjoys creating pencil drawings and would like to be an engineer.

The art club offers students great after-school activities and allows them to explore new avenues of creativity.

Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine.

Scoliosis affects boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 18. It is more common

with girls.

There are several causes of scoliosis, the two most common are congenital and habitual. Congenital scoliosis occurs when someone is born with a lateral curvature of the spine.

Habitual causes are environmental or situational depending on the habits of the individual. Carrying backpacks improperly can contribute to a spinal distortion. Poor sitting habits and practicing poor

posture can also affect spinal development in children.

Signs of scoliosis are a high hip or uneven hips, a high shoulder, the head being off center, head tilt, back and leg pain, fatigue and stooped posture.

Chiropractic care works on correcting scoliosis and relieving symptoms and complications associated with scoliosis. To see if chiropractic may be able to help you, call 938-8700 today for a complimentary consultation.

Smith shines at Copper Ridge Copper Ridge Elementary Teacher of the Year Shawn Smith has been teaching since February of 1985, back when it was known as Knox City Schools. She’s always worked with children, from leading activities as a teen at her church to working at camps through college. Her mom was a teacher and her dad was a minister of education, so teaching is in her blood.

Smith worked at Ridgedale for 15 years and joined Copper Ridge in 2000. Kindergarten has changed a lot since she began teaching, but Smith said that she’s grown with the changes.

She’s thankful that Knox County Schools has offered so many opportunities for training to help her grow along with her students.

Smith loves kindergarten and the changes her students experience each year.

“Watching them develop is exciting. Things are clicking for them and it’s fun to see.”

Copper Ridge Elementary kindergarten teacher Shawn Smith is the school’s Teacher of the Year.

S.O.R. Losers

CHAPTER ONE: “Where’s Kelly?” Mr. Lester’s face was pale. “How can we practice without Kelly?

Doesn’t anyone know where he is? It’s twothirty.”

Mr. Lester was our history teacher. I thought he was going to cry. For myself, I felt like laughing, laughing hysterically.

There were 11 of us standing behind the South Orange River Middle School, near the playing field, feeling silly in brandnew red shorts and yellow T-shirts with “S.O.R.” on our backs. If any dogcatchers had come around, they would have swooped us up for a bunch of stray mutts. On the field, kids were running, tossing, kicking, all that stuff.

During two practice sessions we had done two things. Since none of us knew soccer rules, Mr. Lester read them to us.

Then we ran around in circles while he read the rules again, to himself. He didn’t know them either.

Second practice? We tried kicking the ball. Wasn’t easy.

“Gentlemen,” pleaded Mr. Lester. “We have our first game tomorrow. Doesn’t anyone know something about Kelly?”

No one said a word. The truth was going to hurt, and no one wanted to hurt Mr. Lester. He was a nice guy.

“We have to play tomorrow,” he said, as if we didn’t know. We knew it too well.

It was my special buddy, Saltz, who let it out. “Mr. Lester, Kelly no longer goes to our school. His father’s job was transferred somewhere. Kelly tagged along.” I don’t think we’d had our new uniforms on for more than 30 minutes, but Saltz, a natural slob, looked like he’d slept in his for 20 years.

And he, like the rest of us, was only 12.

“No longer in school?” said Mr. Lester, who had actually volunteered to be our coach. “But what about our first game?”

“He wanted to be with his family,” said someone. I think it was Eliscue.

The coach sighed. He was a history teacher, and we were not what they write history about. If our school had a worse collection of athletes than the 11 of us, they were on display in the museum mummy section.

But there we were Hays, Porter, Dorman, Lifsom, Saltz, Radosh, Root, Barish, Eliscue, Fenwick, and me, Sitrow. In a school that was famous, positively famous, for its teams and all-stars, we were not considered typical. Walk in the front door and the first thing you’d see was a wall of trophies – all for sports. It was as if we were a sports club.

Not a school.

“Doesn’t he understand you can’t play soccer without a goaltender? He should have told me.” Mr. Lester said that the way he might explain the sinking of the Titanic.

“His father probably got the job because Kelly didn’t want to play,” said Dorman.

When Mr. Lester got red in the face from frustration, he looked like an overripe tomato. His round face puffed and the few bits of topside hair were like old, dead leaves. It was clear he already regretted being coach just as much as we regretted the thought of playing.

Rangers collect pennies for patients Students at Northwest Middle School are busy collecting pennies (and more) for the Pennies for Patients campaign. AVID students kicked off the event with an assembly and presentation of the project to the school.

The school has participated in the collection for the past seven years and has donated $26,000 for cancer research over that time. This year’s goal is $4,000 and the winning homeroom will receive lunch from Olive Garden. Second-place classroom will receive a penny cake, third place will receive a cupcake party and fourth place will receive an ice cream party.

Deadline to turn in pennies, dollars or even checks is Friday, April 15.

“a breakfast serials story”

Written by Avi and Illustrated by Timothy Bush

The new team at South Orange River Middle School For example, me. I was so bad I was designated as the only sub. I didn’t expect to play at all. But then, none of us expected to play. The point was, our school had a requirement that you had to play at least one team sport each year. We had slipped through the first year. None of us had played.

None of us wanted to. But once they caught on, they invented a team just for us.

“Let’s go back to the locker room,” suggested Mr. Lester.

Glad to skip practice, we followed him. Luckily, the locker room was empty. Everyone else was either playing or practicing.

I sat on a bench next to Saltz. “Let’s hear it for Kelly,” he whispered.

“Maybe they’ll call the whole thing off,” I thought out loud.

He shrugged. Saltz and I had been pals since kindergarten. So I knew what he’d rather be doing: writing poetry.

“How many do we have here?” asked Mr. Lester.

“Two,” said Root. He was our math genius.

“Gentlemen,” said Mr. Lester, “this is not a joke. Please line up.”

Our cleats clicking like bad pennies on the cement floor, we went up against the wall, all 11 of us. Porter was on one side of me, Saltz on the other.

“Maybe we’ll get shot,” said Porter.

“Only if we’re lucky,” said Fenwick.

“Gentlemen, quiet please,” said Mr. Lester. He stood there looking miserable. You could tell he didn’t like what he saw. But then, considering what we saw in the future, starting the next day, we didn’t like it either.

“Gentlemen,” he said softly. When Mr. Lester shouted, his voice got softer. “Gentlemen, you know why you’re here.”

No one said a word. Seventh-grade boys don’t make good farewell speeches, not in front of execution squads.

“Do you?” he asked. My guess is that he was wondering himself.

“It’s good for us,” Lifsom said, as if describing someone’s need for a head transplant.

“South Orange River Middle School has a fine sports tradition,” continued Mr. Lester. “‘Everybody plays, everybody wins.’ That’s our motto. And you, gentlemen, have been here a full year without being on any team.”

“That’s because we’ve got better things to do,” said Barish.

Mr. Lester’s face turned purple. But he went on, even softer. You had to strain to hear. “That’s exactly the point. You are all – each one – nice, smart boys. You, however, have avoided sports. Too much desk work.”

“Nanotechnology,” slipped in Hays. “The big future.”

Mr. Lester’s face made the ultimate transformation. He turned deathly white and spoke as though from the grave. “S.O.R. believes in the whole person. We’ve created this team for your good. From now on, you’re going to play. Sport is a major part of American life. Starting tomorrow, we’ve got a season to play. Six games. Let’s do it with honor.”

“What about ability?” asked Radosh.

Mr. Lester passed over that with a sigh.

“We need a goaltender.” I saw his eyes travel up and down the line. To my horror, they landed on me.

“Ed,” he said to me, the way a kindly pirate might ask the next victim to walk the plank. “You’re the tallest. You’ll be goaltender.”

“Me?” I said, pointing to my narrow, weak and unformed chest. I couldn’t believe it.

“Yes, you.”

“Sir,” I said in a panic, “I never played goalie before. I never played soccer before.

I never played anything before.”

“Neither have your teammates. But we are going to give it our best, aren’t we? We’ll gain pride by trying. Game tomorrow. You all have permission to be out of your afternoon classes. Be ready, here, tomorrow at one-thirty for the bus. In uniform. We don’t want to be late. It makes for a poor start.”

And that’s how I became goalie for the South Orange River Middle School Special Seventh-Grade Soccer Team. I happened to be tallest.

Talk about talent.

On second thought, I’d better not. Not when you see what happened.

and 1050-car parking garage at the corner of Volunteer and Lake Loudoun boulevards. The garage, open for fall semester, will offer advanced parking technology that lets users of the

By Sandra Clark Union County resident and school board member Marty Gibbs is directing a major new construction project at the University of Tennessee.

The Mossman Building is scheduled to Marty Gibbs open for fall semester 2018, and Rentenbach Constructors Inc., where Gibbs is vice president and general manager, is the contractor.

Designed by McCarty Holsaple McCarty Architects Inc., the futuristic building will house flexible laboratory space, a vivarium and general purpose classrooms for UT departments of microbiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, psychology and nutrition.

Ground-breaking was Oct. 29 at the corner of Cumberland Avenue and 13th Street. The facility is named for the late Ken and Blaire Mossman, who met when they were students in 1968 and stayed connected to UT throughout their lives. The couple also endowed a professor in microbiology, a position currently held by Steven Wilhelm.

Ken Mossmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger brother, Michael, also a UT graduate, attended the ground-breaking. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the heart of things they were good people who were interested in education, in-

business

Chancellor Jimmy Cheek said having state-of-the-art facilities is critical to recruiting and retaining the best faculty and students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown our research awards and expenditures and raised our national profile, particularly in science and engineering. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

made great strides in recruiting more students into STEM majors,â&#x20AC;? Cheek said.

Dave Irvin, associate vice chancellor for facilities services, recently updated UT supporters on the campus improvements underway: â&#x2013; The Mossman Building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seven floors (six occupied levels plus a mechanical penthouse); 220,935

square feet; total project cost: $102 million â&#x2013; The Student Union with a portion open and completion expected in 2018 â&#x2013; The first two buildings in the West End residence hall development are rising on 20th Street and are set to open this fall â&#x2013; New residence hall

BIZ NOTES â&#x2013; Crye-Leike has opened an East Tennessee regional headquarters in Knoxville.

CEO Harold E. Crye said he intends to grow Crye-Leike by adding two to three

more branches in Farragut and Oak Ridge.

Its headquarters office is now located at 9539 Kingston Pike in the Franklin Square area. This headquarters building, previ-

ously a law office, was purchased by Crye in January 2016 for $1.05 million. Its leased office space at 731 Campbell Station Road in Farragut is now closed.

UT app see empty and full spaces in real time. â&#x2013; Facilities Services gets a new home on the site of an old industrial complex at 2000 Sutherland Avenue at Concord Street. Irvin said a part of the building is structurally reinforced with its own power, which will allow Facilities Services to stay operational during the most severe weather conditions.

Work continues at Tom Black Track; the old smokestack at the UT Steam Plant was removed over the December break, marking a visible milestone in the campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s switch from coal to natural gas; and the former Sophronia Strong Hall continues its transformation into a large and modern science class and laboratory facility. Set to open in 2017, it will house anthropology and earth and planetary sciences departments and will provide laboratory and instruction space for the general biology and chemistry departments.

With all the work underway at UT, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see a Union County guy in the middle of the mix.

Design Center gets new directors East Tennessee Community Design Center has added five new directors.

Each will serve a three-year term: Lucinda M. Albiston, attorney; Bill Bruce, CRJAIBI Group; Scott Busby, AIA, Smee + Busby Architects; Mary Kathryn Durr, Gregarious Media; and Georgiana Vines, political columnist.

Board officers elected for 2016 include: Jan Evridge, president; Rick Blackburn, first vice president; Nathan Honeycutt, AIA, second

vice president; Katharine Pearson Criss, treasurer; Sheryl Ely, secretary; and Mary Wells Holbrook, past president. Jason Young, AIA, UT Knoxville College of Architecture & Design, is an ex-officio director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Design Center has served East Tennessee for many years, through the work of strong, committed volunteers. Our new directors are great examples of this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;volunteer spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at work,â&#x20AC;? said Evridge.

Jack and Marie Edmondson:

Tennova ambassadors

By Carol Z. Shane Nicole Yarbrough, executive fitness manager at Tennova Health & Fitness Center, is invested in the well-being of everyone who makes use of the facility on Dannaher Drive.

She does, however, admit special fondness for two members in particular.

Jack and Marie Edmondson, 74 and 75 respectively, have been faithful members of Tennova Health & Fitness Center since 2002.

Married 57 years, they show up almost every weekday for fitness classes. They also greet newcomers, help with set-up and keep track of absentees. “They’re my ambassadors,” says Yarbrough.

Marie – retired from Sears accounting department – says she’s always loved exercise, but Jack, who put in long hours as a conductor with Norfolk-Southern Railroad, was always too tired when he got home at the end of the day.

“When he retired,” says Marie, “I talked him into coming. It was getting close to our wedding anniversary, and I asked him to give me that.”

“I couldn’t spell ‘exercise’ when she first brought me in!” jokes Jack. “Now he loves it,” says Marie. “Every day he’s ready to come.”

The Edmondsons started in the pool, but soon took advantage of Tennova’s large variety of offerings. “We actually participate in six different classes in a five-day span,” says Jack.

Yarbrough, who often sees clients get “stuck” in familiar fitness routines while results diminish, says, “They’re smart enough to keep evolving.”

With their Group Ride cycling, Stretch and Flex, aerobics and light weights, floor aerobics, treadmill and elliptical machines, the Edmondsons gain better fitness, improved mental agility “and a lot of fun,” says Jack.

Tennova Health & Fitness Center offers 75+ hours of land and water group fitness classes per week plus a wide range of specialized cardio and strength equipment, so it’s easy to find a good fit.

Individual trainers stand by, ready to help.

And “you don’t feel intimidated,” says Marie. Both enjoy the family atmosphere and the close, nurturing relationships between employees and members.

Petite and strong, Marie says, “Health is the most important thing. I’ve got back problems. I’ve had surgery on my neck.

If we didn’t come, more than likely it’d be hard for me to get around. What keeps me going is coming back and pushing on.” Both Edmondsons routinely receive excellent reports from their 30-something family doctor, and Marie’s back doctor told her, “You’re my hero.”

“We’re just blessed to be at this stage in our life and be as healthy as we are,” says Jack. “The best money we’ve ever spent is right here.” “Tell her what you always say,” prompts Marie. Grinning broadly, Jack says, “It oughta be against the law to feel this good!”
