Powell schools are 100 years old By Marvin West

If my fuzzy math is correct, the elementary and high schools that originated in historic Powell Station are 100 years old. Dr. Chad Smith, high school principal, is already gearing up for an autumn celebration. He has ideas. He observed a similar festival in the Carter community. Powell schools are not exactly

as they were in 1916. In the beginning, they shared a two-story brick building facing Spring Street, atop the hill overlooking the spring, railroad depot and the brickyard. Most of what I know about this came from comprehensive research by Dr. Joe Ben Moon, distinguished Powell alum. Some of what he learned about 1916 developments came from the dedication

speech by Pearl Bishop Garrett. A copy of her remarks was placed in the cornerstone of the school. An opening was a big deal. A large audience actually listened to speeches. The main address was reported by the Knoxville Journal. Alas, this happened before the Shopper News, or we would have been all over it. It cost $15,000 to build three

classrooms on the ground floor for elementary students and three upstairs for high school studies A largo combo room served as library and study hall. Two sets of stairs (boys and girls) led to basement bathrooms. Now and then a supposedly misguided boy approached the wrong stairs. Girls To page A-3

Art on Main

By Libby Morgan Union County will shut down Main Street this Saturday to celebrate all things artistic – especially music. Art on Main is set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 4, in historic downtown Maynardville, the Cradle of Country Music. The free arts and music festival will honor Chet Atkins and celebrate the music of Union County. It is on, rain or shine. The Chet Atkins Tribute will be led by musicologist and radio host James Perry. In the flavor of Chet’s legendary thumb picking-style of guitar playing, Parker Hastings will perform. He is 15-years-old and holds the current title of national thumb picking champion – in the adult category. Tommy Emmanuel introduced Hastings to a Knoxville audience at his concert on May 21 at the Bijou when he invited Hastings to join him on stage. Parker will be performing on the noonday WDVX Blue Plate Special on Friday, June 3. Songwriter Eli Fox will bring

his original Americana music to the Back Porch Stage. He is a multi-instrumentalist who has appeared on the Blue Plate, Knoxville Stomp, and is scheduled to perform at the 2016 Bristol Rhythm and Roots. Fox is a rising senior at Webb School in Knoxville. Knox County Jug Stompers, The Valley Boys, Knoxville Banjo Cotillion with Greg Horne and Kyle Campbell, Swamp Ghost and Virginia Faith also will perform. Union County veterans will kick off the day with an opening ceremony at 8:45 a.m. Fine arts and craft demonstrations will be throughout the grounds, including glassblowing by Matt Salley of Marble City Glassworks, metalsmithing by Amber Crouse, apple butter making, corn shuck dolls by Anne Freels, slab woodworking by David West, and fine art painting by Brian Whitson.

I am a woman in treatment

Grieving mother learns to cope without alcohol There could be no price too high, and no sacrifice too great. “I would give up everything I have in a heartbeat to have my son back,” Kimberly Cross says. Cross sits quietly in an office at Peninsula Lighthouse, waiting for her next session with Women in Treatment, a substance abuse rehabilitation program for women who don’t have insurance or have exhausted their benefits. “I honestly don’t know where I would be if I had not found this place,” Cross says. “To be able to come here and talk to women who are going through the same thing that I am, it just makes you feel like you’re not alone.” After waking up one morning to find her son dead from a heroin overdose in her West Virginia home, Cross used alcohol to get through the grief. “I just wanted to be numb,” Cross says. “I didn’t want to feel the pain.” Cross remembers feeling embarrassed, and even humiliated as she walked into the liquor store. She kept telling herself it wasn’t where she belonged. Those reservations weren’t enough to stop her. She soon discovered that buying a bottle of alcohol could ease her emotional pain for a little while, and it became her goto method of getting through each sorrowful day. Less than a year later, her husband of 19 years passed away as a result of cancer. The sorrow deepened, and so did her need for relief. Cross believed she had been through enough, and didn’t deserve to feel pain, ever again. “So I told myself I would go to whatever lengths I had to go to,” Cross says, “to not feel pain.” As time went by, she found she was able to adapt to life with no husband or son, but she could only do it with alcohol as part of the picture. She hid it well, even finding love, remarrying and making a new home in Knoxville. But beneath the joy of the new life, there was the undercurrent of the old addiction that she hadn’t yet come to terms with. It was her new husband who finally called her out. “I can’t count the number of times David came home when I’d been drinking, and he knew it,” Cross says. “He just knew, and it would frustrate me, so much.” He told her she had a drinking problem, and she balked, firing back that she could quit, any time. So David challenged her to go ahead and quit. She couldn’t.

Kimberly Cross holds a picture of her son, Jordan, and a poem he wrote before he died as a result of a heroin overdose in 2012. Cross used alcohol to cope with her grief, and is now using a program at Peninsula Lighthouse to recover from addiction.

David Cross embraces his wife after balloons are released in memory of Kimberly’s son.

Cross finally faced the addiction, and decided to get help. She got online, and began searching for low cost rehab, when she stumbled upon Women in Treatment at Peninsula Lighthouse. In the program, she found the support she needed to break free from the grip of addiction, but she made one critical mistake. She left too soon. Cross relapsed and was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol twice. Her second arrest came with a 24-hour jail sentence. “I hated it, I was scared,” she says. “It was the second worst thing that I have ever gone through, besides the death of my son.”

‘If only I could afford to get help …’ If you’re caught in an endless cycle of paying for drugs or alcohol to fuel an addiction, finding the extra money to help you stop may seem completely impossible. Many women struggling with addictive issues may know they need help, but think they can’t afford it. Peninsula offers help through Women in Treatment. It’s an intensive outpatient program exclusively for women who don’t have insurance or have exhausted their benefits. This program offers a safe, compassionate, therapeutic environment for addicted women who want to reclaim their lives. Sessions are conducted by a master’s level clinician and cover a wide variety of addiction-related issues:

■ Relapse prevention ■ Self-esteem ■ Conflict resolution ■ Parenting skills ■ Stress management ■ Body image ■ Symptom management/mental health diagnosis ■ Communication techniques ■ Trauma ■ Relationship concerns ■ Co-occurring disorders

Sessions are held weekdays at the Peninsula Lighthouse campus on Dowell Springs Boulevard.

That was when she made the call to get back into therapy, and she’s been a participant in Women in Treatment, ever since. “I learn something from each new person who comes in, and I hope they learn something from me,” Cross says. Cross has been “clean” since March 10, the anniversary of her son’s death, which is also just a few days before his birthday. She thought she needed alcohol to get through the day, but after just a couple of sips she came to a realization. “I realized in order to really live this life, I have to feel pain,” she says. “And there’s not enough alcohol in this world to numb the pain for me, so I dumped the rest of the

can down the sink.” She’s not proud of the temporary setback she had that day, but it didn’t take away from what became a victorious turning point. It was the first time she’d made it through the anniversary of her son’s death and birthday sober. Today, Cross is setting small goals, and relying on what she’s learned from Women in Treatment to stay sober. She describes her alcohol addiction as something that’s constantly picking at her brain, and she is fully aware she will have to live with it for the rest of her life. “I’m still trying to get there,” Cross says, “but I think I’m doing okay.” With the love of her husband, and the help of Women in Treatment, Kimberly Cross believes she’s on the right path to recovery. “I am a woman in treatment,” she says.

Women and addiction

A report on gender and addiction from Harvard University Medical School says while men are more likely to become addicts, women tend to become addicted more quickly. Women also develop medical or social consequences of addiction faster than men. For example, alcohol-related problems such as brain atrophy or liver damage occur more rapidly in women than in men. Women often find it harder to quit using addictive substances, and are more susceptible to relapse. Women are more likely than men to be prescribed narcotic pain medication, and women are more likely to show up in hospital emergency rooms for overdosing. Substance abuse is the number-one health epidemic in the United States, and

the number of women who die from addiction-related illnesses is more than four times the number of women who die from breast cancer. With statistics like these, the importance of treating addiction seriously and promptly is evident. Women in Treatment is successfully striving to help keep East Tennessee women from becoming statistics. Women in Treatment is funded by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, and is appropriate for women age 18-64 who are in addiction, and who are uninsured, or have exhausted available insurance benefits. If you think this program could be right for you, call Peninsula Lighthouse at 865-374-7262.

But it is only a few blocks from where I did live until a week ago!

The Broadacres HOA Facebook page was a trip. Interspersed with bear sightings were notes about needing a plumber or electrician. Somebody wanted to buy a basketball goal. HOA president Steven Goodpaster came on to report vandals had stolen two letters off the entrance sign. He showed a picture: “B_o_dacres� and mentioned that those gold letters are expensive.

Granddaughter, Suzanna Clabough, is away at college and could not attend. Lions Clubs International was founded in 1917 by Melvin Jones, a 38-year old Chicago business leader. He told members of his local business club they should reach beyond business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world. Jones’ group, the Business Circle of Chicago, agreed. After contacting similar groups around the United States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago. The new group took the name of one of the invited John Longmire with Melvin groups, the “Association of Jones plaque

Lions Clubs,� and a national convention was held in Dallas in October of that year. A constitution, by-laws, objectives and a code of ethics were approved. The rest is history. As Lions approach their 100th anniversary in 2017, it’s a moment to look back on the long and proud tradition of service and the numerous achievements of our association and Lions around the world. Lions Clubs became international in 1920 by chartering a club in Windsor, Canada. In 1925 during the international convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, Helen Keller charged Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.� On April 6, 1949, a group of 39 civic-minded men from the Inskip community formed the Lions Club of Inskip. The club was sponsored by neighboring Foun-

tain City Lions Club. From the very beginning, these men had the well-being of the community at heart. In 1953, a major project of the club was to build a building next to the school to house a library to be used by the school and the community. This building was later used as the Inskip branch of Lawson McGhee Library. This building was in continuous use until the branch was closed by the county. The building was then given to the Inskip Lions Club and is now rented in the community as a service and as a fundraiser for the club. In 1958, the Club undertook the huge task of building a community swimming pool. The pool was officially opened on July 17, 1959, and was in operation until sold to the city of Knoxville in July 1975. During these years, the money realized from the operation

of the pool was used in the community mostly to help people with vision problems in paying for exams and glasses. Other needs were also met as presented. A member of the Inskip Lions Club would normally spend 20 or more hours each year working on community service projects and performing administrative duties for the club. Since the club is an organization of volunteers, the level of effort and participation will vary widely due to the interests, work schedules and personal time demands of the members. In May, the Inskip Lions recognized five fifth graders at Inskip Elementary School for their leadership skills and academic achievements. The community supports this event and attendance is extraordinary for a small community. Info: 687-3842.

He emerged as teacher of physics. Another famous name, Mildred Patterson, came in 1937. Amy Armstrong (later Moyers) arrived a year later. Teachers took a pay cut during the Great Depression. After economic recovery, Knox County published a scale: $105 per month for one year of experience, an extra $5 for a master’s degree; $150 per month for 10 years of experience; $170 for 25. Teachers who endured me deserved far more. The new high school and I arrived on Emory Road in the late 1940s. W.W. Morris was principal. Eleanor McCaskill and Floy Bell taught

English. At 15, I knew I could cut it. Mr. Morris was big and boisterous and once tried to stuff me into a hall locker. My peers cheered him on. Actually, the principal was my friend. He provided golden opportunities. He allowed me to skip his history class and escape study hall to sell ads for the annual. Persuading merchants and business leaders to part with their hard-earned funds was an enriching experience. I set a sales record and considered myself very successful. Only later did I understand that those good people supported school projects year after year. All I really did was not foul up the process. Mrs. McCaskill was a disciplinarian. She once ordered me out of her classroom just for talking too much. She sent me to the principal’s office. He said “Not you again!� He wouldn’t let me in.

He made me sit outside his door in public humiliation – and listen to the World Series on my transistor radio, Yankees with Casey Stengel, Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio and Phil Rizzuto against the Dodgers. Mr. Morris stopped by every inning or so to check on the score – as if he had a bet on the game. Mrs. Bell was an enthusiastic booster – my 459 lines in the senior play made an impact. Much later she admitted I was that teacher’s pet. She had some of the same phrases my grandmother used. One of her themes was unlimited potential. Long before the Nike commercial, she said “Just do it.� There are a thousand other stories about the schools in historic Powell Station. Keep in mind that I am limited. I am not quite 100.

Old Vols in the NFL Beware of coffee shop debates about Tennessee football. Bruises and even lacerations are possible. Egos can be damaged. Feelings may be hurt beyond repair. I innocently walked into one the other day and was immediately challenged to settle the disturbance. “Speak up,� said one combatant. “You know it all.� “You’ve been around forever,� said another.

One budding genius suddenly remembered that Raleigh works for his twin brother Reggie as a scout for the Oakland Raiders. Reggie is general manager and also a very famous father. His son, Kahlil McKenzie, defensive tackle, 6-4 and 319, is a Tennessee star-tobe. Reggie is very smart but did not play nearly as many NFL games as Raleigh.

When he died on May 24 at age 80, the community lost a fine leader. I connect Carl with George Davey; both were Lions and both lived on Cochise Drive up by Beaver Brook Country Club.

They were awesome in their Lion

As an adult, he earned a bachelor’s degree (1989) and a master’s degree (1993) from UT. He then took a job with the state Emergency Management Agency where he worked for eight years. Carl was a charter member of Halls Community Lions Club for over 50 years. He was also the District Governor of the Lions Club International District 12-N Tennessee from 1998-1999. I wrote a story when he got his master’s and another

when he and wife Jennie attended an international Lions convention in England or Scotland. Memory fails. With all this involvement, it’s easy to see how Carl must have known half the town. He grew up in Union County, graduating from Horace Maynard High School in 1953. His parents were Silas and Lucille McDaniel. Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Jennie Haney McDaniel; son and daughter Jim McDaniel and Kelly McDaniel; brothers, David and Eddie McDaniel; sisters, Judy McDaniel Paul and Wanda McDaniel Jackson; special brother, Donnie Boles; and a host of friends. Services were Friday at Sharon Baptist Church and the interment was Saturday morning at Sharon Baptist’s cemetery. Arrangements were by Mynatt Funeral Home of Fountain City.

It took time to return to the subject, Tennessee-born Vols who survived the rigors of pro football for extended periods. If you are guessing, offensive linemen do have a better chance for longevity than backs, receivers and linebackers. Judge Tim Irwin, former Central High tackle, played in 201 games, almost all with the Minnesota Vikings. Chad Clifton, from Martin, played in 158 for the Packers. He is new to their hall of fame. Mike Stratton of Tellico Plains played 156 for Buffalo. Bruce Wilkerson, from Loudon, played in 147, mostly for the Raiders. Harry Galbreath, from Clarksville, made it through 141

with Miami, Green Bay and the New York Jets. Nashville tackle John Gordy, teammate of John Majors, did 134 games for the Detroit Lions. Defensive tackle John Henderson (Nashville) had 133. Cleveland’s Bob Johnson was Cincinnati’s center for 126 games. Linebacker Al Wilson (Jackson) lasted for 125. Linebacker Mike Cofer (Rule High, Knoxville) played 123. Don’t set this list in stone. Jason Witten (Elizabethton to UT to Dallas) is gaining on 200 games. He holds the NFL mark for consecutive starts by a tight end and is third all-time to reach 10,000 yards in receptions. One or more of the Colquitts (Knoxville) may kick forever. Marvin West invites additions and corrections from other know-it-alls. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Traffic calming, anyone? The city is doing wonderful things to enhance Knoxville, but the chart above is not among them. Written by planner Don Parnell, the chart is an appendix to the city’s Neighborhood Safety Program. Want to get speed bumps on your street? Well, jump right in.

Looks like you start at the arrow on the left top – apply for a traffic safety study. Then meet with neighbors and staff to determine whether further study is indicated. A half dozen additional meetings ensue. If the city decides to go forward, consultants are hired and projects ranked.

Surveys and education are woven into the model. Speeders do not participate in such complex processes. Perhaps no one does. This schematic is a planner’s dream. Check back next year to see how many traffic calming projects are completed. – S. Clark

POWELL/NORWOOD Shopper news • JUNE 1, 2016 • A-5

Burchett to Haslam: Sorry, not sorry; principal of the year award baffles Very little blowback and lots of attaboys – that’s what Mayor Tim Burchett says he’s gotten for his recent criticism of the Haslam administration’s refusal to kick in money for a facility to stabilize mentally ill and substance-addicted inmates. He made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows last month denouncing the state for reneging on a commitment to help fund a behavioral health urgent care unit (formerly known as the safety center). Burchett says he’s confident that the project will move forward, one way or another. “No hard feelings. It’s just politics. We’re going to move ahead. I understand the state didn’t want to fund any local projects, but we know it’s the right thing to do. In the end, I think everybody’s going to be at the table. Our local legislative delegation’s been very supportive, and they understand (the issue) better than most. Every day I receive correspondence from one of them, and it’s a piece of the moving parts we’re dealing with.� ■The announcement that Bearden High School principal John Bartlett is Tennessee’s High School Principal of the Year (named by the Tennessee Association of Secondary School Principals) came as a shock to many people. Wonder how Bearden High School teachers who got put through the wringer when the school’s evaluation scores plummeted from the highest possible level to

Betty Bean rock bottom lows last year are feeling? Knox County Education Association president Lauren Hopson probably spoke for a lot of them when she pointed out that teachers whose scores plunge to the lowest levels get assigned coaches and subjected to twice as many evaluations the following year, “and possibly get put on intensive assistance with the constant threat of losing their job hanging over their head... “Meanwhile, a principal who runs a school where (scores) dropped from a 5 to a 1 in one year is named principal of the year?????� And what about the Bearden parents whose daughters were members of the softball team before Bartlett summarily fired the highly successful coach Leonard Sams last year? “It makes us sick,� said Adam McKenry, Sams’ former assistant coach and booster club officer who has filed an ethics complaint against Barrett and athletic director Nathan Lynn. The complaint charges that Bartlett and Lynn failed to inform the boosters that it’s illegal for private citizens to build sports facilities on school property, and that had they known this, the parents would not have gone forward with building a new indoor batting facility on the Bearden

campus. And McKenry and another parent, Randy Susong, wouldn’t be stuck paying $700 per month on the note for the new building, which was named for Sams, who was abruptly canned after he led the team to the school’s first-ever state tournament run. The school board also approved the project. The softball boosters probably aren’t the only parents who are puzzled about Bartlett’s big honor, given the massive turnover among the Bearden coaching staff, across the board. Over the past four years, head coaches in soccer, tennis, golf, baseball, volleyball, basketball and football have departed, as well as every assistant football coach from this last season. McKenry, Sams and Susong are scheduled to appear at the school board’s Ethics Committee on June 6. ■The Bernie/Hillary battle is still raging on the national scene, but here in Knoxville, the two sides are joining to campaign for Democratic County Commission candidate Evelyn Gill, whose primary victory over Rick Staples in District 1 surprised a lot of political observers. “Bernie and Hillary supporters are canvassing the first district for Evelyn Gill. We want to show our community that while we have some disagreements, we are strongly supporting our local Democratic candidate, and we will be out in the district door knocking and getting out the vote for Ev-

elyn Gill,� said Paul Berney. Gill, a special education teacher with Knox County Schools, is a Sanders supporter who rode the Bernie wave in the UT- and downtown-dominated wards of the district, while Staples carried the pro-Clinton wards in the district’s heart. She faces a challenge from Republican Michael Covington, who is closely identified with local GOP regulars. Participants will meet at the Knox County Democratic Party headquarters for training at 10 a.m. and hit the streets at 11. ■Tennessee’s sunshine laws are among the strongest in the nation and require that almost all official communications should be open to public scrutiny. This is a frequent aggravation for local elected officials, who resent the fact that state legislators exempted themselves from the laws they passed. So they probably weren’t queuing up any sad trombones for GOP Rep. Susan Lynn, who’s been raising heck because emails discussing plans to challenge the federal government’s “bathroom guidelines� for transgender students got leaked. “Whoever did this – you know who you are – I implore you to act with more honor than that – to behave with Christian ethics,� she said in an email that also got leaked, prompting her to declare herself “shocked that the email about the leaked emails was also leaked.�

City secures grant to clean up two properties The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded $350,000 in brownfield cleanup grants that will remediate contamination on two important city of Knoxville redevelopment sites: the former McClung Warehouses on Jackson Avenue and the former Sanitary Laundry site, 625 N. Broadway. EPA is funding $200,000 for the 15,000-square-foot, former dry-cleaning site in the heart of the Downtown North Redevelopment District and $150,000 for the five-acre former industrial site on Jackson Avenue. The city will be contributing a 20 percent match – a combined $70,000. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is partnering with the city and EPA on the cleanups, according to a city press statement. “We know that contaminants are present at the Sanitary Laundry and Mc-

McClung warehouses pre-fire. The ornate structures were a solid anchor on the north side of downtown. Clung Warehouses sites, and that’s a major roadblock in bringing these key properties back into reuse,� said Mayor Madeline Rogero. “The great news is that we’ll be developing a strategy to remediate the sites, and now we’ve got the resources to move ahead.� Anne Wallace, the city’s deputy director of redevelopment, said the two brownfield properties are highly visible and strategically located in their respective corridors, with “significant redevelopment potential.� “Without remediation,

the contaminated sites would continue to deteriorate, and that affects the value of neighboring properties,� Wallace said. Rogero said the cleanups will accelerate redevelopment throughout the Downtown North and Jackson Avenue corridors. The impact will be wider than just the redevelopment of the two specific properties, she said. “These cleanups will kick up a notch the amazing resurgence that’s already happening in these two redevelopment corridors.� Previous EPA brownfield assessment grants, totaling almost $500,000, identified specifically what and where contaminants existed in multiple sites on Jackson Avenue and in Downtown North. This follow-up round of grant funding will go toward remediation. The former Sanitary Laundry and Jackson Avenue sites have unique redevelopment histories and

are unusual in that both are city-owned. The city, motivated by blight-abatement and public safety concerns, purchased the McClung Warehouses portion of the Jackson Avenue site in 2013 from a bankruptcy trustee. The warehouses, dating back to the 1890s, were destroyed in fires set by vagrants in 2007 and 2014. The city acquired the abandoned dry-cleaning site on Broadway in 2014 in a tax foreclosure. The business had been a leading employer in the 1920s and 1930s. The details of the remediation work will be finalized by the city, TDEC and EPA. Then, later this year, an environmental consultant will be hired through a competitively-bid contract. Once rehabilitated, the city intends to sell both sites to private redevelopers. A mix of uses is envisioned for both properties.

Savelli’s marks 23 years on Sutherland Elizabeth “Liz� Savelli is completing 23 years running a popular neighborhood restaurant, Savelli’s, in West Knoxville. She opened up on March 1, 1993, and has been at 3055 Sutherland Avenue ever since. When interviewed, she said her most famous guest was Willard Scott, whom HGTV introduced to Savelli’s. But other well-known Liz Savelli patrons have included Tommy Lasorda, former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Tim Love, UT graduate and chef. Former UT football coach Phillip Fulmer and South College president Steve South are regulars. Savelli, 57, has worked the restaurant business her whole life, starting in Clearwater, Fla., working for the Sub Shop. She moved to Knoxville in 1993 and found the current site, which she leased until purchasing it a few months ago. The site was a Time Out deli with 28 seats; Savelli’s now has 49 seats. Meanwhile, she has raised four daughters: Kathleen, now 26; Rebecca, 28; Jessica, 30; and Christina, 33. She has six grandchildren, five boys and a girl. Kathleen is the only one who works in the restaurant, and she makes all the cakes. Liz Savelli says her most popular dish for lunch is the blackened grouper sub and for dinner is the grouper picante. She says her hardest job is “keeping good employees,� but “we have done well.� ■Alan Lowe, former head of the Baker Center at UT-Knoxville, has resigned from the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Archives in Dallas and accepted a position at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill. Lowe moved to Dallas in 2009. He was the first director of the Baker Center. ■Democrats are eager to win back control of the General Assembly. Their odds of achieving this are slim, but they are pushing it hard, including recruiting 23 women to run for the Legislature this November. The Democrats may gain seats, while failing to reach majority control in either house. Democrats claim that likely GOP nominee Donald Trump will alienate women voters from the

Victor Ashe

GOP ticket, but that may be wishful thinking. Three women are running here in Knox County, starting with former state Rep. Gloria Johnson, seeking to recapture her old House seat against incumbent Eddie Smith. Also being opposed by Democratic women are Reps. Martin Daniel and Roger Kane in traditionally safe GOP districts. The SmithJohnson race in November will be the most seriously contested local contest. Out-of-state PAC money will be evident for both. It is a first in Tennessee political history that one party (Democratic) is fielding 23 women for state House seats including a women opposing House Speaker Beth Harwell, the first woman in Tennessee history to be house speaker. She is a credible opponent and Harwell will have to campaign actively in her own district to win another term. â– Thackston School, located on Lake Avenue adjacent to the UT campus, closed its doors after 95 years last week. No announcement was made. Parents were asked not to talk to the media about it when informed a few months ago. Deborah Wofford has headed the school for many years, and it has had a student body of 100, starting at age 3 and going through fifth grade. Hundreds of Knoxville residents have attended Thackston over the years. The land it is on is being sold as this column is written. It is the end of an era. Prominent citizens attending Thackston include longtime Knoxville attorney Arthur G. Seymour Jr. â– Veteran General Sessions Judge Geoff Emery and his wife recently returned from a twoweek trip to Europe focused on World War II history. They visited the beaches at Normandy in France, the site of the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium, and Germany. â– Vice Mayor Duane Grieve celebrated his 70th birthday on May 25. Council member Finbarr Saunders is the oldest member of Knoxville City Council at 71. Marshall Stair is the youngest member at 37.

POWELL/NORWOOD Shopper news • JUNE 1, 2016 • A-7

cross currents By Cindy Taylor It’s that time of year again. School is out and families are looking for ways to enjoy the summer while giving their kids great experiences. Faith Promise Church is supplying one fun option by educating kids in the spiritual sense while providing for their maturing physical needs as well. The fpKIDS Camp has been going strong since 2011. The camp meets at Ft. Bluff in Dayton, Tenn. Kids can participate in water games, crazy challenges, putt-putt and more with daily scripture and an intentional focus on growing closer to God. The theme for 2016 is “Walk This Way.� Gina McClain is the children’s ministry director at Faith Promise North Knox campus. “This year we are focusing on Paul and his work in the early church,� said McClain. “We’ll dig into some

key questions he asked and discoveries he made along the way.� McClain said that although the theme changes, the purpose of the camp remains the same – to lead kids closer to a relationship with their Heavenly Father. She says this camp is a great way to interrupt the regular routine and get kids focused on a single, life-changing message that can redefine the way they see themselves and their relationship with God. She says the camp creates that kind of experience. The fpKIDS Camp runs June 20-23. Any child who has completed grades 2-5 is invited to attend. The cost is $249 per camper. McClain says the camp is for believers as well as those who may not have a personal relationship with Christ. “A kid who has never been to church before is going to learn that they have a place to belong and that God loves them and wants a

I am still thinking about Memorial Day and memories. There are memories we cherish, hang onto, re-visit time and again. There are others, of course, that we desperately wish to forget. Then, there are the memories that are painful, but worthy of remembering, lest we repeat our follies, our mistakes, our sins. The only good that can come from the painful memories is that we heed the lessons learned. That applies to all of us: children, grown-ups, pets, communities and nations. The sweet memories, the fun memories, the glowing memories, however, can, with time, heal the raw ones, transcend the sad ones, make useful the hard ones. One of the treasures I have in my possession is a letter my maternal grandfather, Maston Dunn,

She called up our five team members. Hamilton laughed, as if we were an automatic joke. “They going to be traded to the elementary school?� he called out. “For a player to be named later?� That made the class laugh, even Lucy Neblet.

I asked her. “Because you work so hard. When you work hard like that, you win.� She said it with such a nice smile, I almost believed her. “When’s your next game?� “Thursday. Pennington Prep.� “Do you mind if I come?� “I could think of better ways to kill an afternoon,� said Saltz. “And we’re already dead,� I said. Ms. Appleton giggled. Then she said, “Mr. Tillman wants to see you all.� Mr. Tillman was the school counselor. “Now?� asked Porter. “I have my special reading project to work on.� “That can wait.� “I don’t want it to wait,� cried Porter. “He’s expecting you all,� said Ms. Appleton, firmly. The five of us went to Mr. Tillman’s office. The rest of the team was already there. Mr. Tillman’s office was a fairly small place, meant for only one loser at a time, not a whole team of losers. Still, we managed to squeeze in. Walls were covered with cute posters selling joy and happiness. I thought it depressing, as if you weren’t allowed to be anything but happy. For instance, there was a picture of a kitten about to be dropped down into the Grand Canyon, with the slogan “Keep Laughing, Baby.� The cat wasn’t going to laugh for long, even if cats could laugh. There was another picture, a kid with a big smile. The message read, “It Takes Less Muscle to Smile Than to Frown.� I had an image of a mad surgeon figuring that out. Some fun. Mr. Tillman was not my favorite. A great big, huge guy; someone told me he played football and tried to make it with the pros. He was always dressed the same: turtleneck sweater with happy beads around his neck. Actually, I never trust anyone whose neck is wider than his brains. But I didn’t think Mr. Tillman would put that slogan up in his office. Anyway, he got us all in, then had us sit down on the floor and be uncomfortable. Really happy-like, he said, “How you guys doing!� For a small room, he talked large. “Okay,� said Radosh. Mr. Tillman leaned forward. “Honest?� “If you want the truth, Mr. Tillman,� I said, “we aren’t feeling so great.� “Excellent!� said Mr. Tillman, jangling his beads. “Now we’re talking truth! And you feel bad about it. Think miserable. Have bad dreams. Sense of defeat. Disappointment. Any bed-wetting? Kids tease you about the games? Probably some of your parents yell at you for being so rotten all the time. Any of you guys have girlfriends?� Eliscue, who’d had girlfriends from nursery school on up, raised his hand. “She pokes fun at you; never want to be seen with you?�

For the first time, I saw Eliscue ashamed that he even knew girls. “I know,� continued Mr. Tillman, “you guys are starting to hate yourselves!� “Mr. Tillman,� I said, “what can you expect? All we get from people is, ‘Keep on trying. You can win.’ I mean, we keep disappointing them. I am beginning to hate myself.� “I love you for saying that, Ed,� cried Mr. Tillman. “The trick is, do you believe in yourselves?� “Not a bit,� said Root. “Why not? Someone want to share his feelings with me?� “Because we stink,� said Dorman. There was a general murmur and nodding of approval. “Nope,� said Mr. Tillman, “I won’t buy that. I won’t let you run yourselves down. I believe you can do it. Let me share something with you guys. To win, you must trust yourselves.� “Don’t you have to be a little . . . good?� asked Barish. Mr. Tillman shook his massive head. “Heart!� he cried, thumping that mass of body where I guess he kept his heart. His happy beads bounced and rattled. “Mr. Tillman?� asked Porter. “Yes?� “I have this reading project. It’s really important to me. May I go work on it now?� Mr. Tillman looked as if he had been insulted, or his mother and father had, or his little sister (she couldn’t have been bigger) or maybe his whole family. “Boys,� he said, “the bottom line is this, ‘Don’t avoid your responsibilities.’� That was a new one. “Learn to accept your responsibilities!� he bellowed. “Learn that, and it will be worthwhile!� There was some more. Just as loud. Mostly it added up to the same thing: we owed them. “Wish they’d just let us lose in peace,� said Radosh when we got out. “Oh, good grief,� I said. They looked where I was pointing. A big piece of brown paper had been put on the wall. In crude letters was written: Support a Team in Big Trouble! Special Seventh-Grade Soccer Team! S.O.R. vs. Pennington Prep 1:30 If we care, they will! We all had the same reaction. A quick check to see who might be looking, and rip, down it came. Plus the seven others we found around the school. When we got back to class, I asked Ms. Appleton about those posters. “A class project,� she said sweetly. “We’re going all out to support you.� “Why?� I said, feeling sick. “S.O.R. has no losers,� she said firmly. “Yeah,� I said, “I believed in Santa Claus too, once.� (To be continued.)

Hill gives tips for computer safety By Sandra Clark Thomas Hill, owner of Computer Depot, brought advice to members of the Halls Business and Professional Association last week at Beaver Brook Country Club. “What is your identity worth to a computer hacker,� he asked. Guesses ranged from $10 to $100. “Seven cents,� said Hill. He said hackers deal with volume and easy-to-access

accounts. Individual computer users can avoid hacking by being smart. “If it’s fun or free – beware,� he said. Use a strong password, defined as: at least eight characters long; does not contain your user name, real name or company name; does not contain a complete word; is significantly different from previous passwords; and contains characters from each of four categories: uppercase let-

ters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Hill suggested users upgrade to Windows 10 and enable Thomas Hill encryption. But once that’s done, do NOT lose that password He also suggested enabling encryption for mobile devices. Use screen lock

and install Sophos Mobile Security App, he said. Upgrade older Spiny hard drives to newer, faster, more reliable SSD. For virus protection for business, try Sophos Cloud free for 30 days at cdhelp.info For free virus protection for home computers, go to sophos.com/home Computer Depot has been around for 18 years and has four locations. Hill offers a free network assessment ($500 value) at cdinfo.info

The parallels are eerie. Heather McFall and Cara Vaughn started college wanting to be attorneys, but both decided on teaching. Both place loving relationships with their students first and foremost. And on the same McFall Vaughn day, both were honored by the Rotary Club of Knoxville as its 2016 Teachers of the Year. Heather is a kindergarten teacher at West Haven Elementary School. Cara teaches biology and chemistry (including honors classes in both) at Bearden High School. Heather has been in the classroom for 15 years, Cara for nine years. Here’s another parallel: Each received a $500 check from Knoxville Rotary and a $250 gift certificate from A&W Office Supply at the club’s May 24 meeting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. “Our reward is our students’ success,â€? Heather said in her acceptance speech. “You have to be called to teaching and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Teaching for me is all about bringing love and compassion to the kids, every day.â€? Cara’s grandmother was a kindergarten teacher for 27 years who taught her to let her students know they are loved. “I come into every class every day to give them love. They need love and they need to be challenged,â€? she said. “It’s about relationships and that’s why I teach.â€? â–

‘Progress’ in Powell (and Halls and beyond) Progress is grinding along day by day in our communities. At times progress can make for a fascinating spectator activity. So much so that downtown, they put little windows in the walls around big construction sites, so the “sidewalk superintendents” can follow the progress and come up with all sorts of ideas as to how things would be done if they were in charge. Out here in the country we can just drive by and see the action from our cars. One project that I see every week or so, and that startles me every time I see it, is our new landmark HPUD 5-million-gallon sewer retention tank on Dry Gap Pike, flanking the entrance to Brickey-McCloud Elementary School. That’s the same school, you will recall, that was to have been the recipient of a really nice outdoor classroom until, in the Debacle of 2010, HPUD’s contractor summarily destroyed the lovely grove of woodland just to the east of the present mega-tank. I wonder if HPUD got the idea for their colossus from the huge blue water tank that KUB perpetrated on the city of Knoxville, perched proudly on the city’s southern skyline amidst the developing parks and trails of its Urban Wilderness. There are a couple more projects that I’m following. The huge Kroger store is going up at the former Powell airport, which in earlier years showed up on the map as “Powell Marsh” and was visited by birders to see its ducks and herons and other wildlife. More recently it was used as a large hayfield, complete with nesting meadowlarks and visited by night-herons and foraging d snipe sn foragi ging ng in in the the

ditches. It was always a pleasant sight to drive by and see all those big bales of newly-harvested hay scattered across the landscape, like a Monet painting. Other businesses are poised to join the Kroger store there and complete the transformation to suburbia. The Central Avenue-Emory Road intersection should become very interesting at that point. I notice that already the poles and wires for yet another stoplight have gone up at the Kroger entrance; good luck to you folks living up Blueberry. And speaking of the Central-Emory Road intersection, the other project that I watch daily is that of the 220-apartment complex going up a half-block to the west. The apartments are on the former site of two nice homes with yards and trees, plus another small hayfield, now gone forever. Our 220 new family units will enter and exit their quarters via a single outlet onto Emory Road, into the long line of eastbound travelers who line up there every morning, every afternoon, and every Sunday after church. Maybe the church crowd, at least, will be polite. I won’t comment on the famous “multi-milliondollar left turn” project in the midst of the Halls community, where the Norris Freeway meets Highway 33, because in spite of those helpful signs that say “change in traffic pattern” (no kidding), (n kidd ddin ing) g),, I can’t can t begin to

figure out what they’re doing out there all these years. Parts of it look more like a rock quarry than a highway. But, they undoubtedly know what they’re doing. More entertaining to watch is the Maynardville Highway project out through Halls to the Union County line. They’re removing mountains, filling chasms, running new power lines, and beautifying with huge brown mats that miraculously turn into lush green hillsides. Mind you, I have no objections to highway improvements, having been victim to any number of my fellow Americans travelling Highway 33, doggedly determined to not allow their vehicle to exceed 35 miles an hour in the 55 zone. Highway construction does take its toll, though. When TDOT widened Emory Road from two lanes to five lanes with sidewalks, beginning around 2001, for the 1,117 feet of highway along my property they took 0.97acre of land. That figures out to be about five acres of land for a one-mile stretch of straight, level highway with very little roadside rightof-way. Imagine how many acres it’s taking for the Highway 33 project, with all its slopes and fills. All is not lost, though, as it is when you fill in a marsh to build a shopping center, or a hayfield becomes home to 220 families. According to an article in the latest issue of National Wildlife Magazine, there are at least 17 million acres of roadsides in the United States – an area larger than Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts combined! And across the country, smart people are beginning to rethink roadsides. Ta the costs of mainteTake

nance, for example. Roadsides need to be mowed, and many are sprayed with herbicides. Expensive. But also very bad for a lot of our natural things – plants, wildflowers, birds, butterflies. The National Wildlife article relates that a number of state departments of transportation are changing right-of-way management practices in favor of wildlife. And they are saving money, beautifying the roadside scenery, and guess what – helping lots of critters. Some of the pragmatic, life-is-a-real-thing western states have realized for years how much hay they were bush-hogging along their highways, and have a system to allow farmers to cut and bale the hundreds of acres of roadsides, medians and interchanges in their states. What a win-win situation! State DOT doesn’t mow, farmers get loads of hay. Seems almost too reasonable to be true. The article notes that these days, a number of state DOTs are getting into the act, and mentions Iowa, Indiana, Florida, and Nebraska as examples. Florida’s DOT is responsible for 186,000 acres of roadsides. They are reducing their mowing by 10 percent, mowing just five feet up the roadside slopes, leaving the remaining 10 to 30 feet to grow in native grasses and wild flowers. This allows the ground-nesting species of birds the whole nesting season to raise their young, and us and the butterflies to enjoy the flowers. Then in late fall the DOT mows it all, to keep down the bushes and general undergrowth. Iowa has 50,000 acres of roadsides planted in native flowers; Lady Bird Johnson has had Texas doing it for years.

Fountain City Man and Woman of the Year By Sandra Clark

Mark Enix and Kathy Cloninger were named Fountain City’s Man and Woman of the Year at the annual Honor Fountain City Day in the Park on Monday. The event is each Memorial Day. Mark Enix owns Fountain City Jewelers Inc. He is known for his generous support of many community projects and his active involvement with the Fountain City Business and Professional Association, where he served as president and remains on the board of directors. Enix attended school in Claiborne County and graduated from Halls High School in 1986, after his family moved to Knox County. His dad, Marvin Enix, owned and operated Enix Jewelers in Halls, which is now owned by Mark’s

But a reminder – you don’t need 17 million acres to have a habitat highly suitable for birds and butterflies. Every half-acre or twoacre yard can have trees and shrubs that provide nesting sites and safety from predators, produce fruits, berries and seeds for food, and serve as food plants that attract food items for baby birds – bugs, caterpillars, earthworms and the like. And the inchworms and caterpillars that don’t get eaten? They become all those butterflies and moths, that along with the spiders,

bees and beetles, make our gardens such fun and interesting places. So at least one message can be: don’t despair about all that inevitable development. Those 220 apartments on a 12-acre space could have been 220 houses on one-acre lots, gobbling up another 200-acre farm somewhere. And we can all use our yards, our parks and our roadsides in better and more beneficial ways. They all offer opportunities to give our fellow critters a better world. We’re all in this together, you know.

Train to Run

at Tennova Health & Fitness Center

By Carol Z. Shane

It’s early evening and the weather is nice. Outside the Tennova Health & Fitness Center in Powell, a group of runners gather around coach Muna Rodriguez-Taylor, ready for their orders. “You’re running the 10K? All right, do eight 400s and a mile.” Turning to another, Rodriguez-Taylor directs her to “do four 400s, two 800s and a mile.” She encourages a participant in her walking plan, remarking, “she’s recovering from knee surgery.” It’s this kind of personal, individualized attention that makes Tennova’s Train to Run program such a success. Take Jean Miller, who has run for five years following a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and a suggestion from her doctor to “keep moving.” The reasons she participates in Train to Run are many: “proper technique, somebody making me do it, the camaraderie is great.” Once bedridden for two months, Miller is now a half marathoner. She credits “our fabulous coach.” Rodriguez-Taylor says with a smile that they also call her “the mean coach,” but it’s all in fun. “I get accountability,” says Miller. “I can’t cheat while I’m here.” Bernice Conner agrees. “I wasn’t going to do anything if I didn’t have some accountability. I’m a couch potato!” Nicole Yarbrough, Tennova’s fitness manager, had wanted a running program “for a long time,” says Rodriguez-Taylor, a former accountant who now works solely in the fitness field. After being told to “take this and run with it,” she developed her own training program based

The current training group at Tennova Health & Fitness Center’s Train to Run program enjoys camaraderie and improved fitness.

upon principles she’s learned from 16 years of teaching fitness. Having earned a personal training certificate in 2008, her enthusiasm for exercise is obvious, and she enjoys helping anyone who wants to discover the mental and physical benefits of running. “We start with small steps, small goals,” she says. Within her current group, which includes a first-timer, she has a wide variety of athletes from walkers all the way up to marathoners and everything in between. The monthly Train to Run program is open to anyone – beginner to advanced – interested in running. During each fourweek session, participants learn to conquer initial discomfort and meet reasonable expectations, improving their speed, technique and distance. Much attention is given to prevention of injuries. Athletes gain confidence and friendships as well as health benefits: lowered risk
