New turf field installed

BUZZ New job for Wendy Hansard Powell High School graduate Wendy Trundle Hansard has been promoted to principal at Lonsdale Elementary School, effective with the next school year. She has served as assistant principal at Lonsdale since 2012. She joined Knox County Schools in 2003 as a fourth grade teacher at Inskip. She was appointed as a systemwide literacy coach in 2008, and, in 2011, was chosen as a fellow in the second cohort of the Leadership Academy. Hansard holds a bachelor’s degree from Carson-Newman University. She also holds both a master’s in education administration and an education specialist degree in administration and supervision from the University of Tennessee. Her parents are Don and Kathy Trundle of Powell.

Come tour new Community Center The new Community Center at 1708 W. Emory Road (former Wheeler Karate) will hold a community open house from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, May 21. The event will feature refreshments and music with an opportunity for the community to see the new facilities. All are invited.

Bob Thomas is running for mayor Bob Thomas, radio guy and at-large county commissioner, kicked off his campaign for Knox County mayor last week with a baloney-cutting at Powell Auction. He followed Mayor Tim Burchett’s path (Burchett also launched his campaign there), but two years ahead of the election. Turnout was huge, and it was great to see old friends.

Powell High School’s new turf field is in, as this photo by Ruth White shows. The field is striped for both football and soccer. It contains a Panther paw in the center and the school’s colors: orange and black. The new field was made possible by a $10 million grant from the Haslam family, Pilot and Pilot Flying J to Knox County Schools. The gift will provide new turf fields to each of the county’s 13 traditional high schools. Powell, Fulton, Bearden and Farragut were chosen by random drawing for first-year fields.

‘Waterfront’ property in Powell By Sandra Clark Carol Evans smiled when she said Powell could become known as Knox County’s next waterfront community, but she was only half kidding. Evans was invited to speak at Enhance Powell, a citizens group that meets at the Powell Branch Library on each second Wednesday from 4-5 p.m. Evans is executive director of Legacy Parks Foundation, the group that Dr. Bob Carol Evans Collier has asked to develop the land adjacent to the library which will be called Collier Preserve. Evans was asked to tie that project into a broader plan to create a greenway for bikes and walking along Beaver Creek from roughly I-75 to Clinton Highway. She suggested Powell residents talk with creek side property owners. “The worst thing to do is start drawing lines on a map (on people’s private property).� R. Larry Smith called Evans the closer. “When you’ve got someone interested (in donating land or applying a conservation easement), call her in.� Evans talked about tax benefits for landowners and economic de-

velopment benefits from outdoor activities. She outlined the 10year history of Legacy Parks. The first project was raising $80,000 to build a skate park on city-owned land in Fountain City. The next project was serving as fiscal agent for Halls residents who raised money to purchase the Hodge property on Norris Freeway which is now Clayton Park. But her biggest achievement to date is assembling tracts of land in South Knoxville that’s become known as the Urban Wilderness. On May 17, she was scheduled to open a section of trail that connects South-Doyle Middle School to the trail system. “Don’t worry about being perfect,â€? she said. “In South Knoxville, we’ve taken undevelopable, remnant land and created a 100-acre park with 50 miles of trail for biking and hiking.â€? The trail system is not for horses or motorized vehicles. “The snowball happened there, and you’ll see it happen here.â€? Evans refuted some myths about greenways. “Crime is greater at West Town Mall than on any greenway ‌ because trails are used randomly so it’s hard to plan a crime.â€? Respect is key. “Be very respectful of your neighbors.â€? Evans said Legacy Parks Foundation doesn’t “push in,â€? but is

happy to be invited in by community groups. Legacy Parks is working with a kayak group in Karns to create put-in and take-out points on Beaver Creek. Powell’s stretch of the creek could tie into that. Several easements are already in place, including land behind the Kroger now under construction, land behind the apartments being built

on Emory Road at Central Avenue Pike, the Collier Preserve and Powell Station Park, adjacent to the high school. State construction left undevelopable remnants along Beaver Creek. The next step is to visit with landowners, seeking to secure an easement. Just don’t start by drawing their property onto a map.

Black Oak Plaza sold Black Oak Plaza in Halls has been sold. Kmart at Black Oak Plaza, an 82,943-square foot net-leased property and the adjacent property Black Oak Plaza, a 62,111-square foot retail, sold for $2.7 million and $2.075 million, respectively, according to Joseph McKibben, regional manager of Marcus & Millichap’s Knoxville office. Pamela Treacy, an investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s local office, had the exclusive listing to market the retail center for the owner. “This change in ownership will be the catalyst for redevelopment in the heart of Halls and will impact the entire community,� she said. Kmart is located at 6909 Maynardville Pike, the adjacent Black Oak Plaza houses a mix of national and local brands: GNC, UPS, Cutting Crew, Enix Jewelers, Ross the Boss, Fit N Fast and Sportsman’s Choice. The seller on Black Oak Plaza was Clover Leaf Village LLC, represented by manager Rafat Shaikh. The buyer was Maynardville Pike LP, with instruction to mail the tax notice to a law firm in Buffalo, N.Y. The deed on the Kmart property had not been recorded at press time. – S. Clark

Old Sears building targeted for sale By Betty Bean The Andrew Johnson building on Gay Street isn’t the only iconic, county-owned structure Knox County is looking to sell. Last week, Mayor Tim Burchett told the Shopper News that he intends to put the former Sears store at 1000 N. Central on the block before he leaves office in September 2018. “That’s part of the long-range plan,� he said. “And it’s in keeping with my philosophy of putting government property back on the tax rolls.� Sears, Roebuck & Co. started construction on the new department store on the south end of Happy Holler in 1946 on a 3.9-acre

parcel in the Dameron Addition that consisted of 21 residential lots. The sprawling, Streamline Moderne/Art DECO store opened in 1948 and operated until the mid-1980s, when Sears, Roebuck & Co. sold it to the East Towne Mall Company for $800,395.92. Knox County bought it in February 1988, during the administration of County Executive Dwight Kessel. The purchase was controversial, in part because residents of surrounding neighborhoods – already riled because the neighborhood had been chosen as the site of a solid waste incinerator – feared that the county intended to use the former depart-

ment store as an intake center for the jail. Others were suspicious because the sellers’ identity was shielded by a trust agreement for an investors group that acquired the property for $850,000 in 1987. Fears died down over the years as county government converted the building to more benign uses, including the purchasing department, a satellite sheriff’s office, a clothing depot, an office of veterans’ affairs and storage space for county archives. Burchett said he intends to take advantage of the hot market for Downtown North redevelopment, and that no employees will lose jobs when these services are

relocated. “The time is right – the ‘Holler’ is hopping, and some people tell me (the old Sears building) may be even more valuable than the AJ Building.� As a historical note, although Dwight Kessel isn’t generally credited as a preservationist, his administration presided over the restoration of the historic Knox County Courthouse, the acquisition of the former Andrew Johnson Hotel and the purchase of the old Sears building. (Hat tip to Register of Deeds office manager Richie Beeler for his research on old Sears building history.)

We will never be able to thank our nurses enough, but we hope that this recognition ceremony is rewarding and lets them know that we appreciate all they do for our community, our hospital, our physicians and, most importantly, our patients.”

Wayne Heatherly 10-Foot Award This honor is given annually to one employee who daily demonstrates the Standards and Behaviors of Parkwest Medical Center. The award commemorates a hallmark of former Parkwest CAO Wayne Heatherly’s administration in that no employee should be within 10 feet of another employee, patient, visitor or volunteer without acknowledging this person in a pleasant manner. This year, the recognition went to Jason Seal, a staff member in the Imaging Department.

Volunteer Appreciation Week Parkwest volunteers contributed more than 36,399 total hours in 2015. That translates to a whopping $840,000 value of hours volunteered! Each year, Parkwest recognizes its volunteers’ selfless dedication to serving visitors and patients at the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.

‘We save lives’ By Sandra Clark Sage Kohler summarized the Powell Business and Professional Association’s Teen Driver program like this: “I really believe, whether we know it in this life or not, we save lives.� Kohler, who has chaired the program for several years and is seriously requesting help for next year, brought three scholarship winners to last week’s PBPA meeting. With a PowerPoint presentation, they shared their posters and a video from the first-place winner. “I made a poster on drowsy driving, which is more interesting than it sounds,� explained Rose Patterson. As second place winner, she received a $2,000 scholarship. Sierra Wilburn has participated in teen driver

awareness for her four years in high school. She used that experience in creating a video with three friends. With the $3,000 first-place scholarship, she plans to study at Roane State Community College to become a paramedic. Hannah Welch took home $1,000 for her creation of a truck running into a tree. A part-time worker at Vaughn Pharmacy, she plans to study nursing at Roane State next year. Kohler said the judging was “blind,� without names, but Sierra’s video got a perfect score from every judge.

Friends of Walter The Walter Chadwick story goes on and on and actually gets better with age. With just a little help, it could be a movie. The former Tennessee tailback celebrated his 70th birthday in Decatur, Ga., surrounded by “Friends of Walter,” a side story almost as good as the main event. Chadwick did not receive a great stack of gifts. He doesn’t need more dust collectors. He did get what he wanted, a cluster of orange and white balloons for the annual launch. Walter always thinks his two will make it to the moon. And why not? Walter keeps defying unbelievable odds just to be part of the party. The Walter Chadwick story almost ended on a

Marvin West

drippy spring afternoon 45 years ago. He was making deliveries for his mom’s gift shop. He stopped at a traffic light. A Wells Fargo truck hustling in the opposite direction slid across the center line and smashed into his VW Beetle. “They gave me the last rites,” Chadwick is fond of saying, “but I fooled ’em!” Barely. His body was broken and he suffered irreparable brain damage. He survived in intensive care for 15 days

and was in a coma for most of four months. He spent two years in rehab. His marriage dissolved. He lost touch with his two young sons. He lost almost everything but, somehow, maintained his faith, a sense of humor and a few precious memories of football. The fun part was 1965-67. He started for Doug Dickey’s Volunteers. Walter’s favorite play (and one of mine) happened his senior season versus Alabama. It looked like a power sweep. Linebacker and halfback came roaring up. Tight end Austin Denney slipped behind them. Walter didn’t deliver a perfect spiral. He shot-putted the ball for a touchdown. In response to my de-

Remembering Pop My parents’ Oak Ridge home will soon be put on the market, and it’s been a bittersweet trip down memory lane for me, my brother and my father as we’ve sorted through every drawer, closet and file folder. Some things should’ve stayed hidden from the world, like my sixth-grade photos and at least one disappointing report card. But I also found treasures, like numerous new spaper clippings devoted to my grandfather, longMayor Bissell time Oak Ridge Mayor Alvin Keith Bissell. To me, he was Pop, hus-

Wendy Smith

band of Nana, a.k.a. Mama, Mema or Helen Bissell, depending on who was talking to her. They lived in a muchremodeled “C” cemesto house on Meadow Road, where we celebrated numerous holidays. I was always assigned to the kid table, so I missed the really good conversations. At the time, I wouldn’t have been interested in Pop’s numerous accomplishments, like his organization of the effort to incorporate Oak Ridge in 1959. I wouldn’t have cared that he

was active in the Tennessee Municipal League, a chair of the East Tennessee Development District, or a charter member of the Melton Hill Regional Industrial Development Association. I don’t recall knowing that he played a leading role in the extension of Pellissippi Parkway in an effort to provide a quicker route to McGhee Tyson Airport. This is all fascinating to me now, but it’s the little anecdotes that bring the fuzzy images of my grandfather, who passed away in 1994, back into focus. After Pop was recruited to work for Tennessee Eastman on a mysterious project in 1943, the family was assigned to a “D” house on Tennessee Avenue, where there “wasn’t a gravel,” he told The Oak

liberately prickly question about passing form, Chad said, “It counted six!” Chadwick was drafted by Green Bay. He had another tryout with Atlanta. He played one season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He was a high school coach for two weeks preceding the crash. Former Vol Elliott Gammage became Walter’s first best friend during rehabilitation. Former Vol Steve Kiner was next to help when Gammage moved back to Tennessee. “Walter had a townhouse and was trying to hang in there,” said Kiner. “It was heartbreaking. He wasn’t doing his physical therapy. He needed a job with some dignity. I had to do something.” Kiner, with advanced degrees in clinical psychology and counseling, was prominent with Emory

Healthcare. Eventually, a rehab nursing director realized Walter might help her patients. He became inspiration coach. He greeted everybody with a twisted smile and “Hey, Slick.” Patients who had not talked for weeks responded. Some laughed. The decades have not been easy for Walter Chadwick. The time came when there were no more jobs. He even had to give up his bicycle and joyous treasure hunts for aluminum cans along roadways. It may have been Kiner’s idea to assemble “Friends of Walter.” A UT grad in the Atlanta area, Ellen Morrison, her husband Philip, Marilyn Elrod, Jim Lawson and Frank Weldon became the core support group. Through the years, many others, former Vols and former coach Bill Battle, have helped.

Ellen has arranged or provided many outings. Walter and a luncheon group meet each week. Walter asks the blessing. “It is beyond amazing,” said Kiner. “Walter is like a magnet and Tennessee people never forget. Ellen Morrison is an angel in disguise.” Old Vols awarded Ellen an honorary letter. Butch Jones put Walter’s name on the UT running backs meeting room. Alan Owen, UT grad, friend of Walter for 15 years, sent a keepsake directly from the recent Super Bowl, a Peyton Manning photo. Of course it is on Walter’s wall. Great group, friends of Walter, kind, encouraging, generous people. “Oh no,” said Kiner. “It’s the other way around. We get more than we give.”

Ridger. Dust and trucks were flying on the road, which left my grandmother in tears. To get Nana away from the hubbub, Pop drove up an unpaved Michigan Avenue, where foundations were being laid and a school was under construction. My mother, Jane Wright, and her four siblings all eventually walked to that school − Cedar Hill School. I was aware that Pop knew everybody, not just in Oak Ridge, but across the state. He shared memories of political notables in a 1987 edition of Tennessee Town & City, a publication of the Tennessee Municipal League. He had a knack for imitation, so I could hear him mimicking his friend, two-term Gov. Frank Clement, telling a story about riding in a “boat-ah” on Old Hickory Lake with his wife, Cille. His political activities

connected him with national figures as well. A 1994 article in the Courier News of Clinton conveyed Pop’s story of Sen. John F. Kennedy visiting Oak Ridge in 1959 − the year before he was elected president. Pop was master of ceremonies at a dinner with at least 100 guests, and he referred to each one by name before introducing Kennedy, who said he’d never witnessed such a ready recollection of names.

Along with the newspaper clippings, I found Pop’s and Nana’s Christmas cards from Al and Tipper Gore and Bill and Hillary Clinton, and tickets to Jimmy Carter’s inauguration party. I’d seen these mementos before without ever truly appreciating them. If I could go back to those holiday gatherings at Meadow Road, you can be sure I’d fight for a seat at the adult table.

Bob Thomas has plan to win

Bob Thomas, radio guy and at-large county commissioner, kicked off his campaign for Knox County mayor last week with a baloney-cutting at Powell Auction. He followed Mayor Tim Burchett’s path (Burchett also launched his campaign there), but two years ahead of the election. Turnout was huge, and it was great to see old friends. Thomas was smooth. He thanked friend Ed Brantley, Howard and Barbara Phillips, Kenny Phillips, Richard Bean, the Chillbillies, Phil Leadbetter and Sammy “Barney Fifeâ€? Sawyer. He said Burchett has set a standard for all future mayors. “He is stingy with the taxpayers’ money and we love him for it. As he has said many times – no shenanigans! He expects everyone to pull his or her weight. He believes that the government is the servant of the people of Knox County. “These are the same values I believe in and that I will strive to uphold. ‌ I would like to thank Mayor Burchett for making Knox County strong. ‌ “I believe that Knox County will be the fastest growing county in Tennessee over the next 10 years and we need to make sure this time of great opportunity is managed properly.â€? Bob and his wife, Kim,

have three children: son Chad and wife Mindy have three kids; daughter Brooke and husband Logan Brummitt have two kids; and son Jake is a student and actor living in California. Bob’s mom, Nelle Thomas, and sister Barbara and brother Jerry attended the kickoff. Tom Spangler, chief deputy under former Sheriff Tim Hutchison, is running for sheriff in 2018, and he’s already making the rounds. Bobby Waggoner, a primary candidate in 2014, also said he’s planning a race. Lee Tramel is representing Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.� Jones at both political and civic events as the heir apparent. Some questioned Bob Thomas’ decision to start his campaign in 2016, but why not? As an at-large commissioner, he already represents the entire county. And now he’s got a head start on potential opponents. If others announce, they’ll find themselves running against Bob. And the baloney-cutting party at Powell Auction has already occurred.

Sidewalk issue won’t go away The fate of the muchpublicized effort for a new sidewalk in West Hills along Sheffield from Wesley Road over to Vanosdale is not good for this year’s city budget as both Mayor Rogero and Vice Mayor Duane Grieve (who represents West Hills) are not supporting its inclusion in the budget. This is a case where term limits work against the voters who no longer have a voice in the political future of Grieve or Rogero. They leave office respectively in 2017 and 2019. Both say there are higher needs for other sidewalks. What they do not say is that this special list is prepared by city bureaucrats who use an inflexible system that is often flawed. Rogero and Grieve seem unwilling to review or revise this list. For example, one sidewalk ahead of Sheffield (which Grieve cites) is the already existing sidewalk along Kingston Pike from Concord Street to Western Plaza (where this writer lives) as a higher need with a $2 million cost. This is a flimsy excuse for inaction since that sidewalk has been there over 55 years and does not need to

Victor Ashe

be rebuilt, let alone for $2 million plus. Kingston Pike residents are not seeking a new sidewalk. The West Hills residents are educated, intelligent and determined citizens. Council member George Wallace has helped himself with these residents by sending the mayor a letter urging consideration of it. Former Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis has said he favors money to design it. Rogero was asked by letter in October 2015 to back the sidewalk, but she never personally answered the letter. Grieve upset some constituents when he commended council member Nick Della Volpe by email for his comments critical of the Sheffield sidewalk campaign in a reply to state Rep. Martin Daniel’s email of support. Grieve had not intended for his email to become public, but it did. My guess is that this will

go into the City Council elections next year when one or more candidates to replace Grieve make sidewalks and Sheffield Drive in particular his/her issue. That candidate may also outline a plan for a serious citywide effort to build sidewalks, a need not supported adequately in the mayor’s budget. The city really does not have a meaningful plan to resolve the requests for 135 miles of sidewalks. At the low rate the city is funding new sidewalks, it would be 75 years before this list was turned into reality. A future mayoral candidate, who is serious, may advocate creating a sidewalk building program similar to the road paving program this writer started in 1988 after voters approved a sales tax hike. Now some 42 or more miles a year are repaved annually (divided equally among the six council districts so all parts of Knoxville are treated alike). Every mayor following me has continued this program and even increased it from time to time. Sidewalks are urgently needed across the city at a time when many

neighborhoods feel more funding goes to downtown Knoxville and the questionable Cumberland Avenue construction, which has more than a year to go. ■Knox County Commission is likely to have at least two women serving after the Aug. 4 election. Amy Broyles, the commission’s only female, will be replaced by a woman as both candidates for her seat are female. The Democratic candidate for the Sam McKenzie seat is Evelyn Gill. That district tilts toward the Democrats although those precincts that are largely African American voted for Rick Staples over Gill in the March primary. Gill carried the precincts that were mostly white and also supporting Bernie Sanders for president by a large margin. The Republican candidate, Michael Covington, has yet to demonstrate he can win over Democrats in this campaign. Democrat Marleen Davis is running a credible race against Hugh Nystrom in District 4, but she is running in an overwhelmingly GOP district and Nystrom is a very popular candidate

30, 2015, Mayor Rogero has replaced three MPC commissioners including vice chair Bart Carey, former Vice Mayor Jack Sharp and Michael Kane. The three new members include a former City Council member, Charlie Thomas, along with Gayle Bustin and Pat Phillips. They must be approved by the state Local Government Planning Commission in Nashville, which is almost automatic. They will serve the remaining time in the normal fouryear term had they been appointed in July 2015, which is now three years and one month. Thomas is a strong advocate of greenways. Rogero has declined to explain why it took her 11 months to name these three persons to MPC. This column mentioned it on three occasions including three weeks ago. â– This column erred when it stated UT-K Provost Susan Martin had a fiveyear term. She is an at-will employee. Her resignation as provost takes effect Aug. 1, and she will return to teaching as a professor of classics on Jan. 1, 2017, after a sabbatical. â– Over 100 individuals have now applied to replace Margie Nichols as vice chancellor for communications at UTK.

Bridging generations By Ruth White

Bill and Lu Malepede enjoy a snack and chatting with new friends at Beaver Dam Baptist Church’s Parents Day Out program.

Senior adults from Elmcroft stopped by the Parents Day Out program at Beaver Dam Baptist Church and spent the morning learning and laughing with children in the Young 4s class. The children sang, counted to 30 in celebration of a classmate’s birthday on April 30, led the group in the pledge and enjoyed snacks and craft time with

the senior adult friends. The ministry is fairly new at the church and helps to bridge a gap between the generations. “It’s great to have the senior adults visit. The children and the adults are both delighted when they visit,� said PDO director Charlotte Chadwell. “This children love to show the adults what they have learned and it’s a fun learning time together.�

The adults enjoyed watching the children perform and the activities often help the adults remember special times when they had young children. The day was a win-win for everyone and once school is back in session for the fall, senior adults and young children will once again share snacks, songs and crafts together.

The church is actively involved in supporting the Christian School of New Vision (CSNV,) under the umbrella organization Little Children of the World (LCW,) in LaJeune, Hide, Donne and Sylvain in the mountains of northern Haiti. Church members Paul and Marcia Fisher make frequent trips to the island nation, and Marcia is there right now. Ludner St. Amour, a Haitian sugar cane farmer and visionary, started the school in 1995 “to provide a Christian education and a meal for the poor, orphan children in his area,� says the website. “He believes that through education, people can escape the anguish of poverty and provide change for the small corner of the world in which they live.� As a youth, St. Amour learned English from missionaries in the area, and he in turn taught them Haitian Creole. With only a few years of formal education,

With its dollars and its people, Powell Presbyterian Church supports the Christian School of New Vision in Haiti. Photo submitted he showed great promise, learning to type and serving as translator. Fisher’s friendship with St. Amour began 21 years ago when she went to Haiti to work as a nurse. Sadly, this extraordinary individual – a father of five – suffered a stroke last August and is currently in therapy. Fisher writes, “I confess, I really took Ludner for granted. I knew he worked hard and had a lot on his plate, but I really didn’t appreciate all that he did.� Without Ludner, some classes can’t continue. The school has been hit hard in other ways, too.

“Haiti is suffering a period of food insecurity,� says Fisher. “The drought has been severe for two years and many people are unable to obtain sufficient nourishment.� Powell Presbyterian has stepped up its financial contributions, and the food and jobs provided for 45 people allow them to feed their families. “It has been a hard year,� Fisher says, “but I am optimistic that we can continue to provide a quality Christian education for more than 500 children in the mountains of Haiti.� In addition there’s a college scholarship program. Currently, 17 students at-

tend classes; six of them should graduate in 2016 and six more in 2017. “We are making progress!� says Fisher. And on a smaller, more personal note, PPC also collects socks and underwear for the children of the CSNV. “The girls really like ruffled socks,� says the church website.

Building the bones By Cindy Taylor

It was once a Cessna. It has been a working roller coaster. This year it’s a submarine. No matter what the theme is for Beaver Dam Baptist Church’s VBS – the creative mind of Alan Summers can construct a slightly less than life-sized creation to complement it. A designer by trade and lifetime member of the church, it’s no surprise that Summers is drawn to create backdrops for VBS. Now with a family of his own, Summers puts his heart, and countless hours, into designing and building individual pieces and some-

FAITH NOTES

It was a pilgrimage of sorts for us. My brother and I have at least two ancestors who fought in the American Revolution at the Battle of King’s Mountain. We wanted to stand on that hallowed ground and breathe in the air of history. The mountain itself is sort of a surprise. It is a 60foot peak that is freakishly steep, jutting up starkly from the gentle farmlands below. As we walked the trail, I kept trying to imagine these now-quiet woodlands filled with musket-fire, barked orders, cries of pain and shouts of encouragement. I could picture the redcoats, sure of themselves in their spiffy uniforms, going up against the buckskin-clad mountaineer riflemen. Historian Bart McDowell describes the scene: “The battle began about 3 p.m. Major Ferguson attacked with bayonet charges and volleys from the British muskets. The mountain men just stepped behind trees and took deadly aim with their long rifles.� Ferguson’s body rests in King’s Mountain near a giant poplar that may have survived the same battle. Every loyalist in the fight was killed, wounded, or captured – about 1,000. The patriots lost only 28 killed. Cornwallis was startled by his defeat at the hands of these un-trained American back-woodsmen. And the over-mountain men got more than vengeance. They bought America time. The patriots rebuilt their army, hoping they would have enough time to save the South. I have stood at Arlington, looking out over rows and rows of white gravestones. I have walked the battlefields at Gettysburg (the only place I ever saw a real ghost). And I have knelt on the ground at Normandy. King’s Mountain stands among them, as hallowed ground.

CHAPTER SEVEN: Story So Far: It is official: the new soccer team has the worst start in the schools sport history. Is there any way this team can get better? If the story of what happened to our team was in the movies, on television, or a YouTube video, this is the point at which I think things are supposed to look up. You know, the team starts to fight back. Opposing teams wouldn’t score all those points—because of us. Maybe one of us would drop dead from trying so hard, and then the rest of us would vow to win in his honor, and would, crying for joy that our best’s friend’s death was worth a plastic trophy with big ears.

The problem was, our team was not in the movies, television, or that series of romance books called “Vampire Vamps of Victoria Vocational,” which all the girls were reading. This was real. For example . . . Just a few days after the last game, I was lying on my bed reading Love That Dog. I really liked it. Anyway, my father came into my room and sat down on my desk chair. I could tell it was going to be a serious talk by the way he sat. When he wants to tell me I’m going to have to spend Saturday morning helping to clean house, he just sits on the chair, regular.

The facts of life chair, backwards, that means he’s my pal and we’re going to talk man-to-man. And I wasn’t even a man. This time he straddled my chair and looked around at all the slogans, pictures, and bits and pieces I had picked up and stuck to the wall. I stayed where I was, on my bed. “How’s it going?” he asked. “Okay.” My nose was still in the book. “Got a minute?” “Sure.” I lowered the book, not knowing what was coming, except I could tell it was going to be heavy lifting. He said, “How’s school?” “Okay.” “You really like it, don’t you?” “Most of it.” “When I went, I hated it.” “Sorry.” “Really hated it . . .” “Well, I like it,” I said. Then I suddenly had this wild notion that we were going to talk about sex! Trying not to show it, I got interested. I mean, we were overdue. “Ed . . . ,” he said. “How’s that soccer team you’re on?” “The what?” “The soccer team.” “Okay,” I said, not only feeling disappointed but wondering how he knew about the team. I hadn’t mentioned it. “I didn’t know you were on it, much less captain of the team. That’s quite an honor. How come you never told us any of this?” I shrugged. “It’s no big deal. I’m required to play. And Mr. Lester picked me for captain. Not the guys. Just the way he picked me to play goalie. I’m taller than the other guys.” “Better?” “Taller. Saltz is better.” “Beefy.” “All muscle,” I said loyally. He looked at me, his eyes gone shifty, so I knew some phony questions were working their way up. Sure enough, he asked, “How’s, uh, the team, you know, coming along?” “Wonderful,” I said, picking up my book so he knew I had more important things to do. “Really?” “If you know the answers, how come you’re asking?” “You never told me one way or the other.” “Someone did.” “Well, that’s . . . true.” He was silent for a moment. “I . . . uh . . . gather you’ve not . . . won . . . anything.” “Nope.” “Close?” “Not by light-years, and each light-year is about six trillion miles.” “Ed . . .” “Dad,” I said, “you wouldn’t be asking me this way if you didn’t know the answers. What’s on your mind? I’d like to read this.” “I just thought . . . you know . . . I’m concerned about your team. Not just me, Ed. A

bunch of bright guys like you. It’s . . . your attitude,” he blurted out. “You and the rest of the guys.” “How do you know?” “I had a call from Mr. Tillman, the school counselor.” “You’re kidding!” “I did. He’s worried about you and the rest of the boys on the team.” “How come?” “I just told you, your attitude.” “Because we get beaten?” “Because you don’t seem to care.” “What are we supposed to do? Cry? Sulk? Put our fists through the lockers? Take drugs? Go see Mr. Tillman and tell him we hate our fathers? Dad, we didn’t want to be on a team. We had to be. We stink. So what?” He shook his head. “That’s being a quitter.” “How can you accuse me of quitting when I didn’t want to join? If a guy breaks out of a torture chamber, is he a quitter? I mean, I do want to quit. We all do.” “Ed!” “I don’t want to talk about it.” After a few moments, he said, “A few of the dads were talking about this at the parents’ meeting last night. We’re going to hold some extra practices. Mr. Lester is all for it.” I threw my book down in disgust. “You’re kidding!” “Mean it.” “When?” “Saturday mornings.” “No way.” “Yes.” “Saturday I’m supposed to work with Lucy on our project.” “Who’s Lucy?” “A friend!” I said fiercely. He stood up. “Nine-thirty, fella. Havelock Field. You’re team captain. You’ve got to set an example.” He walked out of my room. I called Saltz. “Guess what?” I said. He said, “Havelock Field. Nine-thirty. Saturday. I’m strongest. Biggest. I have to set an example.” “I don’t believe it.” “No one asked you what you believe.” “What else did your folks say?” “That we were a disgrace.” “Ye gods . . .” “You going?” he asked. “Don’t have much choice.” “See ya,” he said. “Right,” and I hung up the phone. I was beginning to feel like a cancer under attack. After a moment, I called Lucy. “Lucy? This is Ed. I can’t work on our project Saturday morning.” “Why?” “Soccer team. I’ve got to practice being a hero.” “I can understand,” she said, which made it worse. I was hoping she was beyond understanding. (To be continued.)

Rule #3: You are when you eat

Dr. Wegener

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener Most people today are very inconsistent about when they eat. This often leads to skipped meals, which disrupts blood sugar balance and can end up leading to cravings and overeating later in the day.

In fact, most people feel that skipping breakfast actually slows your metabolism for the entire day. I agree wholeheartedly with this concept. This means not only will you burn fewer calories during the first half of your day, but you’ll probably have cravings later on in the same day, which because of the slower metabolism will end up as fat in your body. I can’t stress this concept enough. It is important that you eat breakfast consisting of proteins, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids and some carbohydrates every day. This is especially important for young adults and students. If you want your brain to work throughout the day, you need to feed it properly at the beginning of the day. Then every two or three hours thereafter you should eat some type of protein portion, like a protein drink, along

“Electric Company� and “Sesame Street� had on her own learning. Brickey-McCloud is a special place because of the supportive family and community members, says Garland, adding that there is no other place she would rather teach. She was honored to be named one of the Teachers of the Year. In her free time, Garland enjoys spending quality time with her family.

with a complex carbohydrate, like a piece of fruit or vegetable, to keep your metabolism running strong. This will optimize your weight loss and keep your body functioning at peak performance. Those of you who read my articles know that I advocate at least five or six small meals per day rather than two or three large meals per day. That means I prefer you to have breakfast, a midmorning snack, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, dinner and if necessary a quality protein drink at least two hours before bedtime. This concept constantly feeds your body and fuels your metabolism. As I’ve said before, do you want to drink from a fresh running stream or a stagnant pond? If you do not drink water regularly or eat frequently throughout your day, you are drinking from a stagnant pond because your metabolism is shut down. Next week: You are what you don’t excrete.

Regas Square links downtown to Northside boom By Betty Bean Conversion Properties Inc. president Joe Petre got raked over the coals last month when he went to C o u n t y Commission asking for tax increment f inancing (also known Joe Petre as a TIF) for his newest downtown redevelopment project, but after he ran the gauntlet of questions about why his company needs a tax break to make Regas Square happen, he walked out of the room with what he asked for – a $5-plus million TIF to help build a $33 million, mixedused development on what used to be the parking lot of Regas Restaurant on Gay Street and Magnolia. Petre’s most persuasive selling point for his project, which will add 101 new residents, a couple of restaurants plus several retail stores, is that it will create a vital link between the struggling north end of Gay Street and the booming North Broadway/North Central Street corridor. He points to David Dewhirst/

This rendering shows the proposed Regas Square. The old Regas Restaurant is the building at left, hidden by tree. Ashley Capps’ new venue, the Mill and Mine, in a former warehouse on West Depot and to The Mews, which Jeffrey Nash is developing on the former site of Marie Owen’s Olde Towne Tavern on Magnolia and Ogden Street as proof of the northward march of the downtown boom. “This was the missing link between downtown and Downtown North,� said Petre, the Realtor who sold the Southern Railway Depot, which became the first new

venue in the neighborhood. “Bit by bit, we have started to build community. I hate to say this is the next big thing, but there is strong movement north, and we intend to be very involved in that. You go where people want to be, where they want to eat and shop and live. The neighborhoods along Broadway and Central are very strong and vibrant, and, frankly, we’re running out of cool old building stock, so you have to follow the path of where the build-

ings are.� When Petre speaks to citizen’s groups, he carries with him a stack of written definitions of TIFs and their close cousins, Payments In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOTS). TIFs, he explains, direct a portion of the tax revenue generated by a redevelopment project’s economic growth to repay the government loan, and allow downtown developers to cope with the extraordinary costs of construction in the vertical urban envi-

Road trip to Maynardville:

Music, arts, plants, wine and kids By Libby Morgan If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to take a short, scenic trip just north of Knox County, Saturday, June 4, is a great day to head that way. Art on Main: Next door to the Union County courthouse in Maynardville is the sixth annual Art on Main Festival from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., with two national champion musicians, teenage thumb picker Parker Hastings and mountain dulcimer player Sarah Morgan, on the main stage. Chet Atkins will be honored with a special tribute prior to Hasting’s performance. Hastings has played with several of Atkins’ friends and band members. If you’re a musician of any ability, you’re welcome to join in the Union County tradition of pickin’ and grinnin’ on the porch and under the shade trees with friendly folks. On the grounds are glassblowing, metal art, corn shuck doll making, wood art and painting demonstrations, plus handmade and handcrafted goods, food, live plants and more for sale. Kids will have fun with train rides, face painting and free art projects. Daylilies will be given away by Oakes Daylilies while they

Powell people, including Mr. Haworth, the basketball coach, brushed it on. They left streaks. Powell Station was there long before my mother. The community was so named in 1894. Before that, it was Powell’s Station. A mass movement to get rid of apostrophes led to the refinement in name. At its worst, it was never as bad as Hall’s or Halls Crossroads. What eventually became the Powell area started to take shape in the late 1700s. Settlers petitioned the Continental Congress to open a southbound mail route. The North Carolina Territory approved the idea in 1788 and sent soldiers to cut and clear a wagon and coach road. The original outline was a worn path known as Tollunteeskee’s Trail. Peter Avery directed the construction project and gave us Avery Trace which evolved into Emory Road. John Menifee built a fort on Beaver Creek, near what is now the intersection of Emory Road and Clinton Highway. The fort was a trading post, gathering place and security center in case the local tribe (real

live Cherokee Indians) got unruly about the intrusion on their hunting grounds. Best I can tell, the fort was tested only once. The Indians lost. Early settlers had long guns and familiar surnames – Brown, Rhodes, C onner, Hendrix, Groner and Yarnell. Bell, Gill and Scarbro came just a little later. Church groups met at the fort. Eventually it served as an inn. I cannot verify this but Andrew Jackson supposedly rested there once on a trip from Nashville to Washington. Because his wife was said to be related to the fort/ inn owner, he likely had a discount coupon. Alas and alas, Menifee’s station stop is long gone. One of many Weigel’s convenience stores is about where it used to be. Historic Powell Station

grew and grew. I was a very small factor. Beginning in 1940, I rode the yellow bus from Old Clinton Pike and the Bells Bridge community to school for 11 years. It would have been 12 except for my grandmother. Ella Bishop, having been a substitute teacher, taught me a bunch of stuff before first grade, things like reading, writing and arithmetic. My first school teacher thought I was impatient with other students but tolerated my behavior. The worst that happened was I had to stand in the corner. My second-grade teacher said I was a pain and sought relief. Principal Iris Johnson bumped me up to third grade at mid-year. That gave me something to do but put me at a considerable disadvantage. I was thereafter the youngest and, for a long time, smallest in the class. Girls were kind. They treated me as a trinket. Historic Powell Station gained even more sophistication after World War II. We all thought the new

high school down on Emory Road was state of the art. Somebody with no appreciation for history, probably a Realtor thinking about enhanced property values, floated the idea of dropping “Station� from the community name. It happened in 1949. We’re getting it back.

How we lost the ‘station’ When and why Powell Station became simply Powell is clouded in history. But Marvin West was just kidding about the Realtor (we think!) “The History of Powell� by David Stidham tells this story: “The U.S. Postal Department asked Mrs. K.S. Cooper, Powell Postmistress, if the residents would like to change the name to Powell Station to Powell. A petition was signed by many of the people, and in November 1949 the name was legally changed to Powell. – S. Clark
