“Opal’s Million Dollar Duck� rode a thin premise to almost non-stop laughter as the Powell Playhouse marked its fifth anniversary with John Patrick’s 1980 play. The play was the vehicle for two newcomers – Brian Cooney and Kelli Tidmore – who played well together as married actors in search of a few new props. Opal, of course, is Powell’s own Christy Rutherford. She’s been either on or behind the stage for virtually every PPH production since 2011. In real life, Rutherford is a makeup artist for the Knoxville Opera. She works well as Opal, the optimistic junk collector who hangs tea bags from a clothes line and brings out a new one only for special occasions. Hearing Opal read the death scene from “Romeo and Juliet� was worth the cost of admission. And Opal has a marvelous theory of newspapers: “Well, I don’t read no newspapers until they’re at least a year old. By that time it’s too late to get excited about what’s happened and whatever has bin did is did and can’t be undid.� John Patrick’s play is dated in

Powell loses popular pastor, Warren By Sandra Clark

Just don’t ask Jonathan Warren about ROI. Return on investment – putting the unchurched in pews – is not the reason Powell Presbyterian Church sponsors so many community outreach programs. Warren puts it this way: “The church doesn’t operate on a consumer model, and that’s OK. Jesus didn’t push growth. He focused on just 12 people and changed the whole world.� So when the congregation feeds families for a small fee on Wednesday nights, that’s not about recruiting them to church on Sunday. Warren says the shared fellowship of the Wednesday meals is reason enough to have them. The Rev. Warren brought his final sermon as pastor of Powell Presbyterian Church last Sunday. He and his family are moving July 1 to Illinois where Jon will be pas-

Pastor Jonathan Warren in his study at Powell Presbyterian Church tor in Jacksonville (population 30,000), about 30 miles west of Springfield.

“The community drew us,� he says. “It’s a good place to raise children and is within a threehour drive of our family.� Jonathan grew up in Chicago and has family nearby. His wife, Siobhan, has family in Arizona. Their daughters, Hannah, 7, and Lydia, 5, were born here. Hannah says she will “always be a Brickey Bear.� The Powell church will hire an interim pastor while searching for a permanent one. The search will sharpen the congregation’s quest for what God is calling it to do, Warren said. With fewer than 100 members, here’s what Powell Presbyterian Church is doing now: Family Promise: Once a quarter the church houses homeless families at night for a week. “Eighty percent of those folks will find affordable housing within 90 days,� Warren says. Meanwhile, church members bring supper and

offer encouragement. “It’s not easy,� he says of moving every week and traveling between a host church and a day center every day. “But it’s a motivator,� to get utility bills caught up and money saved for a damage deposit. Meanwhile, families are intact. Mobile Food Pantry: Four times annually, the church spends $1,000 to buy a truckload of food worth $23,000 from Second Harvest Food Bank. Scouts and community volunteers assist with the 7 a.m. distribution. “Sometimes people on fi xed incomes need a little bit of extra help,� Warren explains. The distributions are usually in April, June, August and October. A sign is posted at the church on Emory Road to announce the dates. “We have 150 to 200 families show up.� All who come are given food for as long as it lasts, without registering or proving need.

Fences popping up like mushrooms By Sandra Clark Imagine the shock of Patti Bound when a chain link fence appeared around part of the campus of Brickey-McCloud Elementary School, a short distance from her home. “Why should I know anything,� she said when asked. “I’m only on the Board of Education.� Bounds was surprised to learn that new fencing is coming for Powell Middle School, also in her district. She said fencing has never been discussed during her two years on the board. Gus Paidousis, security chief for Knox County Schools, said seven campuses will be fenced this summer. “We continue to put fencing in place to improve access control.� The fencing started in the fall of 2013 following a dis-

trictwide security assessment. It’s funded through the KCS’s security budget which also funds video monitors and cameras. There is a school resource Gus Paidousis officer (SRO) at each campus and often a Sheriff’s deputy or city police officer as well. Paidousis said fencing was a priority of one-third of principals surveyed. “We started with our elementary schools where portable classrooms and playgrounds were wide open. We’ve fenced 20 schools – two middle schools and the rest elementary.� On tap for this summer are

Whittle Springs and Powell middle schools, along with Brickey-McCloud, Ritta, West Hills, Beaumont and Halls elementary schools. All projects are different, he said, and costs range from $20,000 to $100,000 per school. In addition to the cost, the fences are playing havoc with plans to build sidewalks and greenways so kids can walk or bike to school. At Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy, a six-foot fence was erected on one side of a greenway even though a four-foot fence was already in place on the other side – making this the best protected greenway in town. Russ Oaks, chief operating officer for KCS, said the new fence does not obstruct the greenway while the older fence is around a playground.

Incoming principal Amy Brace has asked that the shorter fence be removed. At Karns Elementary, security fencing blocked entrance to the campus for kids walking across a community-sponsored bridge over Oak Ridge Highway. Paidousis said that problem was fixed last year by relocating a gate. The fences are secure during the school day and will be left open for community use at other times, he said. Are we overdoing this? “My general philosophy is the more fencing the better,� said Paidousis, but “we have enough people in the loop to keep us even.� To page A-3

Luckiest Man Alive

Doctor’s neighborly action saves Knoxville man’s life It was that old familiar feeling, and it wasn’t a good one. It was the same “twisting sensation” James Barker had felt in 2005 when a heart attack led to a quadruple bypass and forever changed his life. Now, here it was again. Just three laps into his cardiomowing routine, the 66-year-old Barker knew what was happening and began looking for a place to fall. He couldn’t have been luckier. Not only did his face miss his concrete driveway, but his neighbor – Dr. Tim McIlrath, an anesthesiologist at Parkwest Medical Center – was right there within seconds, administering chest compressions to bring the pulseless Barker back to life. “All the stars were lined up right and the angel on his shoulder was smiling,” said cardiologist Dr. A. Robert Blacky, who placed two stents in Barker’s chest after his arrival by ambulance at Parkwest’s Emergency Department. It happened around 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 10. Barker and his wife, Anita, had just returned home from a weekend excursion to visit family in Atlanta. As soon as the van was unloaded, Barker decided to tackle the lawn work with his self-propelled mower while his wife used the leaf blower to whisk away the grass clippings – something he normally does himself. “I mowed two or three laps and I thought, ‘I haven’t done any cardio exercise in two days so I’ll just turn this baby up and trot along behind it to get my heart rate up,’” said Barker. “I did about three laps and I felt that same exact symptom that I had previous to my bypass. The first thing that came into my mind was to take a shortcut through the woods which would’ve been a mistake because Anita might not have seen me down there. Then I remember thinking I need to get across the driveway because I need to fall in the grass not on concrete. That was all I remember, and I was down.” He believes only a minute or two passed before his wife saw him lying face down and came running. When she turned him over, his eyes were rolled back and he was making a gurgling sound. Quickly, she called for her neighbor, Dr. Mc-

Ilrath, who was outside rounding up his children for dinner. As he rushed to Barker’s side, he summoned one of his family’s dinner guests, a registered nurse, to come help “in case I needed an extra set of eyes or hands.” She called 911 and relayed info to EMS as Dr. McIlrath began cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on Barker, who had no pulse and only “agonal” or labored breathing. Soon, they were joined by another neighbor, also a registered nurse, who began alternating the 100-beat-a-minute chest compressions with Dr. McIlrath on the still lifeless Barker. “Within 3 or 4 minutes, I had a doctor and two RNs working on me. That’s why I am here today,” Barker would say later. Even so, as he performed compressions on Barker’s chest, Dr. McIlrath questioned whether his neighbor could be revived. “Doing something like that in a nonclinical setting was, for lack of a better word, very abstract, very different,” said McIlrath, who is also a board-certified emergency physician and has performed CPR before, but only in the emergency room or in a hospital setting. “Normally, you have a whole crew and able to put in an IV and do other things. It was very unusual to do something like that in a nonclinical setting. Your chances of being resuscitated without any neurological deficits are slim. We were just so fortunate that we were as close as we were and able to respond as quickly as we did.” Within about 10 minutes, the ambulance arrived. Finding their patient in ventricular fibrillation, the emergency medical technicians put the paddles to his chest. “They gave him one shock,” said Dr. McIlrath. “That was all it took to get him back into a normal heart rhythm and they loaded him up in the ambulance and took him to Parkwest.” As the ambulance sped away, Dr. McIlrath was hoping for the best. “I was hopeful that he would survive, given that he was starting to revive some during the compressions,” said Dr. McIlrath. “But I didn’t know what they were going to find when they did his work-

Dr. Tim McIlrath visits his friend and neighbor, James Barker, at Parkwest Cardiac Rehab after helping save his life in April. up. I was hoping for the best but not trying to be overly optimistic.” Barker “came to” about midway through the 10-minute ride to Parkwest’s Emergency Department entrance. “Boom! As soon as that door opened, there they were – two, three, four people surrounding me. I was pretty impressed with that,” he said. “It was like they were waiting for me.” They were. After all, Barker was drifting in and out of consciousness with v-fib, the most serious cardiac rhythm disturbance in which the heart’s lower chambers quiver instead of pumping blood, causing cardiac arrest. “If ventricular fibrillation is not treated within a minute or so, it will cause death,” said Dr. Blacky. “Dr. McIlrath and the nurses did a wonderful job.” While an EKG failed to show a classic heart attack, Barker’s blood markers indicated he’d suffered a mild one. “He was in very tough shape,” said Dr. Blacky whose heart catheterization procedure revealed

that an artery in the back of Barker’s heart was 80 percent blocked by plaque that had broken loose and a subsequent branch of that artery was 90 percent blocked. Both blockages were opened with stents. Barker had been a model patient since his 2005 quadruple bypass, eating right and exercising. “He did everything right,” said Dr. Blacky. “He probably delayed this event just because of his appropriate lifestyle of exercise and diet. If all the pieces of the puzzle weren’t available, particularly with ventricular fibrillation, he wouldn’t even have made it to the emergency room.” After Barker had recovered from surgery and settled into his room, Dr. McIlrath stopped by to check on the neighbor whose life he helped save. “I think we both understood just how fortunate he was to not only be alive but to have not sustained neurological damage [stroke],” said Dr. McIlrath. “He was completely lucid and did not

appear to have lost any neurologic function. So I was very pleased for that. Secondly, he had not lost any cardiac function as well. They were able to do his heart cath and open up those coronaries in a timely and efficient manner so we’re all very appreciative of that.” Two days later, Barker was back home counting his blessings and the pieces of that puzzle that made him the luckiest man alive. “I have reflected many, many times how if any one piece of this puzzle were removed or changed, my outcome would have been very different,” said Barker, who is now in cardiac rehab three days a week at Fort Sanders West. “I have a whole new perspective and admiration for all the talented medical people I was fortunate to have encountered that pretty Sunday afternoon. I was fortunate that my neighbors were home and available. I was fortunate to be taken to the next level by the team of responders, who stabilized me and delivered me to Parkwest. And I am certainly glad those people were working Sunday night. Total professionals with the gift to save a life – if you can get to them.” Not all do. Each year, more than 300,000 Americans suffer a heart attack outside of a hospital, but only 6.5 to 7 percent survive. But CPR within two minutes of cardiac arrest before EMS arrives doubles the likelihood of survival. If Barker’s heart attack had happened during his drive home, if his wife hadn’t helped on the lawn, if he didn’t have a doctor and nurse as neighbors … If. If. If. He’s very fortunate and very blessed,” said Dr. McIlrath. “It didn’t happen on the interstate and when it did happen, his wife was right there and we just happened to be at home on a Sunday afternoon. It was just as God gave me the wherewithal to do what I did, or what WE did, and not lollygag … I tell you, he’s certainly a blessed man.” Barker’s brother-in-law jokingly suggested that he cash in his luck on some lottery tickets. Barker, who had never bought lottery tickets before, followed that advice and bought four. “And,” Barker said, “all four were duds.”

What’s your sign? Know the warnings Would you recognize a heart attack if you were having one? Many people don’t. Most believe that the chief warning sign is a pain in the left arm or an elephant-sized crushing pain in the chest. Both are, indeed, strong indications. But did you know that there are other warning signs that are much less obvious but can be your own signature pain, warning that a heart attack is near? A pulsating pain in both arms, heavy perspiration, shortness of breath can all be warnings as well. “I felt that same exact symptom that I had previous to my bypass,” James Barker said of his most recent heart attack. “It’s kind of like a twist-

ing in my sternum, and I knew when I felt it that was it because the nurses always said, ‘That pain is yours – when you feel that, get your phone, get some help.’” “Some folks have somewhat different symptoms compared to what is written in the (medical) books and those symptoms are what a patient should watch for,” said Dr. A. Robert Blacky, a boardcertified cardiologist at Parkwest Medical Center.

“Some people don’t have the classic, substernal crushing discomfort – it may be arm discomfort or jaw discomfort or epigastric (stomach area) discomfort. If they have a symptom that recurs, particularly with exercise and particularly if it increases in frequency and severity, then they should view that as their angina (heart pain) and that should be a warning sign.” According to the American Heart Association, most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren’t sure what’s wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening: ■ Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.

■ Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. ■ Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort. ■ Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain. Learn the signs, but remember this: Even if you’re not sure it’s a heart attack, have it checked out. Minutes matter! Fast action can save lives — maybe your own. Don’t wait - call 911.

Powell resident has 56 years at UT By Tyra E. Haag and Amanda Johnson The Torchbearer on UT’s Knoxville campus is an icon – something all students, faculty and staff are proud to have. But what would the campus be like without it? Thelma Hilton, an accounting specialist in UT’s College of Architecture and Design, celebrates 56 years as an employee next month and knows firsthand how challenging it was to bring the statue to campus. Hilton graduated from Knoxville Business College in July 1960. After graduation she responded to an ad for a file clerk position in UT’s purchasing office. “It was my first interview,â€? said Hilton. “I went into it scared and excited, but I was hired on the spot. I’m from a tiny coal-mining town in Virginia. My family has worked in the mines for generations, and that’s where my father died when I was 2 years old. “Growing up, I came to believe there was no reason to stay so I worked really hard in high school and graduated top of my class. I set my sights on Knoxville for business school and more opportunities.â€? Her family could not afford tuition, but a mine supervisor who supported her dreams offered to lend her the money to go to school. She agreed and moved to Knoxville, determined to start a new life. “I used part of my very first paycheck to start repaying the supervisor, Mr.

Thelma Hilton as a young woman At right, Thelma Hilton with the Torchbearer at UT.

Connelly, and I didn’t stop until I had repaid him in full,� said Hilton. “I made about $40 each week.� Hilton used a manual typewriter, carbon paper and a mimeograph machine that stained her fingers blue. “I laugh when people complain about today’s technology,� she said. “They just don’t know how it used to be!� She worked her way up in purchasing, serving as file clerk, senior clerk typist, administrative assistant to the director, purchasing agent

Fences popping up In addition to the school principal, the team includes someone from the central office, generally Oaks, and Dennis Archer of the maintenance department. Archer’s job is to ensure access for mowing and maintenance and to fire hydrants. “Generally, the feedback from parents has been very positive,� said Paidousis. He prefers chain link fencing with a black vinyl coating. He keeps fencing away from the front of buildings, when possible, and sometimes uses decorative fencing, like at New Hopewell in South Knox.

Other upgrades Knox County Schools has several construction projects underway this summer, some funded through the capital budget and others through the maintenance department. KCS will build two middle schools (Gibbs and Hardin Valley), and both are under design. Work at Pond Gap Elementary is going well, ac-

cording to Russ Oaks. “ W e ’ r e ahead of expectations� for the project, which is visible from I-40 westbound. Jim French He expects to have students in the new wing as early as winter. Then the existing school will be updated and retrofitted to accommodate its increased enrollment. Inskip Elementary School’s $6.5 million upgrade will start upon selection of an architect. Doug Dillingham, supervisor of facilities, is overseeing these projects. Other updates were provided by Jim French, supervisor of maintenance: ■Karns and Central high schools, new switch gears for elevators ■South-Doyle Middle School, interior paint and new lockers (to be installed during fall break) ■Powell High, added insulation for auxiliary gym ■Inskip and New

and finally office manager. “In 1968, my purchasing career was tested when the office was assigned the task of having the Torchbearer statue transported from its port of arrival in Finland to Knoxville. We had to use a crane company to pick up and deliver the statue to Knoxville,� said Hilton. “This was quite a challenge but it arrived safely, and I felt so relieved. I never realized what this icon would mean to the university and to people who visited this campus.�

Holbrook bridge complete, re-opens By Ruth White The bridge on Holbrook D r i v e took nine months to complete but is much stronger and has been raised to allow trucks to Rogero pass underneath without hitting the structure. City officials were in Fountain City last week to formally open the new bridge. “Roads are not just to move cars, but to move people,� said Mayor Madeline Rogero prior to the official ribbon-cutting. The road in front of First Baptist Church is now open and more functional than ever. Improvements include sidewalks, bike lanes and a higher clearance over Fountain Road (from 10-feet, 10-inches to 14-6).

When told that she literally brought the flame of enlightenment to the UT campus, Hilton simply laughed. “It was my job, and I’ve always done my best.� But the statue is not the only impact Hilton has had on campus. “When I first started working at UT, only a few buildings were here – Alumni Hall, Estabrook, business, law and a home economics building,� she said. “In the 1960s, UT had a building boom. Suddenly I and a colleague had to learn to read blueprints, identify furnishings for residence halls and draw the furnishings on floor plans. We purchased the furnishings for all of the new residence halls.� After 41 years in purchasing, she retired. “I was asked to return part time until a new director was hired, and seven years later, I retired a second time,� she said. “I thought I would go home and find a hobby.� The hobby was not to be, however, as UT called again and asked if Hilton would work temporarily for an office that needed her background. “It’s just as well since I’m not really a hobby person,� she said. Hilton filled in for four months in UT’s College of Architecture and Design and other areas before returning to the college as a permanent part-time employee, where she can still be found using a coal miner’s work ethic and shining her own light on UT. “I love the hustle and bustle of students, and I like the family feeling of the campus,� said Hilton. “Some of my closest friends are UT employees. A total of 56 years at UT says a lot about what a great place this is and the nice people I’ve had the privilege of meeting. I’ve given UT my all and I’ve loved working here.� The writers are public relations specialists at the UT Office of Communications and Marketing.

The 58-foot-long bridge over Fountain Road (at Holbrook) has re-opened and features a higher clearance to prevent trucks from hitting the structure. Approximately $1.5 million of the total $1.9 million bridge replacement project was funded through a federal Surface Transportation Program grant, with $300,000 assistance from a Tennessee Department of Transportation Bridge Aid grant and the remainder being covered through the city’s capital improvements fund.

Joining in the celebration were chief civil engineer Tom Clabo; City Council members George Wallace, Finbarr Saunders, Nick Della Volpe and Mark Campen; city director of engineering Jim Hagerman; Transportation Planning Organization director Jeff Welch and Jeff Mize with CDM Smith, which designed the replacement bridge.

government Joe Walsh to retire Parks and Recreation Director Joe Walsh will retire by April 2018, as he has joined the city’s drop plan. Walsh was hired by former Parks Director Sam Anderson and has been in this department 25 years plus 5 years in the city finance department. Walsh indicated he would stay through December 2017, but had not decided on whether to continue the final four months. Possible Rogero replacements to Walsh include the new deputy parks director, Aaron Browning, and greenways co-coordinator Lori Goerlich. Goerlich has not gotten a sign erected on Alcoa Highway or Neyland Drive pointing the way to the Knox-Blount greenway from Buck Karnes Bridge to Marine Park. This greenway opened eight months ago with a mayoral event, but remains a secret. Signs should not be difficult to create and install. The good news is that Council member Nick Pavlis is on it and Team Rogero may finally get it done. Since Walsh is staying to the end of 2017, the successor may not be chosen by Rogero if she is tapped to take a position in a possible Clinton Administration. This writer is confident that if Clinton becomes President, Rogero, a Clinton delegate, will have a place in her administration. Natalie Stair, wife of Council member Marshall Stair, plans to open a business called Nest Knoxville, to be located in the Emporium on Gay Street. Nest Knoxville will sell furniture and home decor. She hopes to have it open in early July. Stair, 32, would be the second spouse of a current council member to operate a business downtown. The other is Emily Campen, wife of Council member Mark Campen, who operates the Flower Pot. ■ UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek, as predicted several times in this column, has announced his retirement effective when his successor is picked. That could take up to a year. Cheek can look back on many accomplishments in new construction on campus and criticism over allowing the Lady Vols name change to go forward. What happens now? UT President DiPietro names a search committee to recommend replacements. It may last into next year. DiPietro makes the choice, subject to UT board approval, from the names submitted to him by his committee. The searches to replace Susan Martin as provost and Margie Nichols as vice chancellor are suspended until the new chancellor is

Victor Ashe

on board, which means another year with an interim provost and vice chancellor. Look for athletic director Dave Hart to depart after the fall football season. His tenure has been controversial with the Lady Vols name change and large financial settlements for gender-based lawsuits. The Title IX lawsuit now pending in Nashville has cost $200,000 in legal fees. The talk is already stirring on who replaces Cheek. While there is a search committee, will it be a truly open search or be tilted towards a favored candidate? Brian Noland, president of East Tennessee State University since January 2012, is widely mentioned. He previously headed up the West Virginia Higher Education system and prior to that worked for the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. For UT historians, he was the runner up to DiPietro to be UT president when the board in October 2010 voted 11-10 for DiPietro over Noland. ThenGov. Phil Bredesen, a board member, voted for Nolan. The search was very open. If Noland is chosen, then the new ETSU board must pick a new president for ETSU. Lt Gov. Ron Ramsey has said he is not an applicant for the ETSU position. ■ Former Gov. Winfield Dunn turns 89 on Friday, July 1. He is the 24th oldest living former Governor. The oldest is David Buckson of Delaware at 95. State Rep. Bill Dunn, who was born in the Panama Canal Zone (as was Sen. John McCain), turns 55 on Sunday, July 3, and Sen. Lamar Alexander turns 76 the same day. ■ The three UT trustees from Knoxville (Raja Jubran, Charles Anderson and Sharon Pryse) invited Knox legislators and spouses to the summer trustee dinner at Cherokee Country Club last week as part of an effort to make friends. Relationships have been strained over the Lady Vols, the UT diversity office and gender-related lawsuits. While this was primarily a social occasion, it was a first and is a positive development. ■ Attending the dinner were state Sens. Richard Briggs and Becky Massey along with state Reps.

Incumbents only: State facility bars challengers As a politically active Democrat, Janice Spoon says she’s participated in plenty of events at the Ben Atchley State Veterans’ Home, located in Knox County’s 6th District, where she lives, including purely social occasions and candidate meet and greets. So it shocked her when nursing home officials said County Commission candidate Donna Lucas couldn’t come to the facility to meet the residents. “We’ve had events at the veterans’ home before: St. Patrick’s Day parties, Flag Day parties, all kinds of parties, including events when we brought in candidates to meet the residents, which we were told we could do as long as the candidate was there. We have a real appreciation for everybody out there. But now all of a sudden things are different.” Spoon says she has been informed, after working her way up the chain of command for this state-run facility, that the nursing home has an incumbents-only policy. “I don’t know where to go, what to do,” Spoon said. “I think it is very unfair and

chance. And punter Trevor Daniel. Maybe somebody else pops out of the crowd. Write-ins are welcome. Please accept lightweight guidance. The best player on the team might be a youngster, but youth is handicapped in the bid for post-season honors unless accompanied by spectacular statistics. Previous build-up, name recognition, is often decisive. Team success is relevant. Traditional winners have an advantage. Keep in mind

unethical to allow incumbents to have events there, but nobody else. And it’s not just because I’m a Democrat that I’m saying this. I don’t get it. I really don’t.” Leanne Lewis, marketing and public affairs manager with Tennessee State Veterans’ Homes, confirmed Spoon’s account of what she’d been told. “We are a state facility, and events held in these facilities cannot be for political gain.” The ban does not apply to incumbents, she said. “If they are already in office, they have a right to come in there. Mayor (Tim) Burchett, for example, is already in office, so he’s designated an official dignitary and he can walk in there any time. If it’s somebody running for office, by code or by law we are not allowed to do that because it shows favoritism.” When asked if this rule also applies to Lucas’ opponent, incumbent 6th Dis-

Most folks around here don’t like the government. Of course, many of them have a government job in Oak Ridge or at TVA. They drive every day on a road built by the government, stop at a red light installed by the government, and go to sleep in a home paid for with a government-backed loan. On Saturdays each fall, they spend their afternoons cheering for the government-run University of Tennessee football team. But they just don’t like the government. Our politicians understand this, and that’s why most local Republicans oppose any kind of tax increase. It’s nonsense. You can be opposed to big government in Washington and Nashville, yet want local government to provide more services closer to home. You can be a bona fide conservative and not panic every time

someone suggests a modest property tax increase in Knox County. Don’t get me wrong. No one supports a tax increase for higher salaries for political cronies, but a modest property tax increase in Knox County could already have built a Safety Center to better house the mentally ill. (Our politicians say they support a Safety Center, but no one wants to pay for it.) Road improvements could be funded. We could pay good teachers more and keep them from moving elsewhere. More greenways could be built between neighborhoods, which would increase property values for homeown-

choice. We need to comply with state rules. This is perceived as giving monetary gifts for political gain. “At the end of the day, if you take this to the commissioner (Many-Bears Grinder, head of the Tennessee Department of Veterans’ Affairs), she will tell you the same thing.”

Candor needed on taxes ers and the quality of life of residents. Instead, we have politicians in county government who so reflexively oppose any tax increase that you can’t decide whether they are mimicking Cas Walker or Fox News. Of course, it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, you don’t have to look further than the city of Knoxville to see another way forward. City taxpayers have supported property tax increases without a public outcry because they are satisfied with their government. Visit downtown Knoxville on a Saturday morning and walk in Market Square. The transformation of that entire area is nothing short of remarkable and has been enabled by consistent support across multiple mayoral administrations. (Don’t call Mayor Rogero a tax-and-spend liberal. The city’s plan to outsource the

Coliseum and Chilhowee Park alone is expected to save $500,000 in salaries.) A comparable level of investment by county government would reap untold dividends in Halls, Powell and Karns. At current tax levels, county residents won’t get any of that. Instead, folks should just expect more of the same. Leadership is taking what you inherit and moving forward in a way that reflects your values. Objecting to any tax increase at the county level isn’t conservative at all. It’s regressive and harms our future. We have some important elections coming up. Support candidates running for office who are honest with you about funding county government and who present a vision for the future that’s more than just promising they won’t raise taxes. It will take leadership (and more money) to move Knox County forward. Scott Frith is a local attorney. You can visit his website at pleadthefrith.com

City Council to discuss alternative financial services By Wendy Smith

City Council will discuss the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Council’s (MPC) recommendations regarding Alternative Financial Service establishments at a workshop at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 30. In February, City Council requested that MPC make a recommendation regarding zoning regulations for such institutions, which include check-cashing outlets, money transmitters, car title lenders, payday loan stores,

All-Americans to be If the football Volunteers live up to lofty expectations, history says three will be honored as all-Americans. Because of exceptional wisdom and insight, you are invited to pick ’em. Will it be Jalen Hurd, star running back? His field is crowded. Cam Sutton is a goodenough corner to persuade opponents to go the other way. Do you choose Jalen Reeves-Maybin, run-andhit linebacker? How about quarterback Joshua Dobbs, epitome of the student-athlete? You could certainly pick Derek Barnett, destroyer at defensive end. Kick returner Evan Berry could do it again. Center Coleman Thomas has a

trict commissioner Brad Anders, Lewis said yes. “We are a state facility. If they are already in office, they have a right to come in there, and we cannot show favoritism.” When asked if allowing all candidates equal access to the veterans’ home could solve the perception of favoritism, Lewis said great care must be taken when dealing with state property and taxpayer money. “It’s the same thing as if I was in jail as an inmate. The state would not be depriving me of having freedom of

that half of the official selectors don’t know as much as you do, but they look at lineups and conclude somebody must be good if Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State and Clemson prevail season after season. After you have finished our all-America exercise, tell me who projects as the most valuable Volunteer. Is anybody indispensable? Five or six quarterbacks will go ahead of Dobbs in the next NFL roll call, but Joshua makes the Vols go. He is an exceptional leader (smarts, personality, guardian of the football). He is a genuine dual threat (671 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, 2,291 passing and 15 TDs). He is not a bombs-away aerialist. He may or may not be the winning edge. He had two scor-

pawnshops and rent-to-own stores. South Knox council member Nick Pavlis was one of five council members who requested the recommendation. On Chapman Highway, there’s an area with 15 such businesses within a mile, he says. Customers go to one for a loan, and when they can’t pay, they go to the next one. It’s a vicious cycle. “It’s destructive to people and doesn’t send a good message. It’s not just in my district. They’re on every corner.”

He expects that such businesses will soon face federal regulations. The public is always welcome at council workshops, and discussions will include the concerns of the business community. “We’re open. We’ll listen.” The proposed zoning changes implement recommendations made in a 2015 MPC report titled “Research of Alternative Financial Services and Evaluation of Related Zoning Options.” Proposed changes in-

clude space requirements of 1,000 feet of separation between like businesses and 1,000 feet of separation between AFS establishments and residential property. The 2015 document reported 81 AFS establishments in Knoxville, 16 in Knox County, and two in Farragut. Existing businesses would be grandfathered. A vote on the proposed zoning changes was postponed at the June 21 City Council meeting. It’s expected to be on the July 5 agenda.

ing passes in the four losses last season. Hurd, 6-4, 241 and 23 miles an hour on a treadmill, is not your ordinary big running back. Butch Jones has declared him a Heisman candidate. Linebackers concede that Jalen causes headaches. Safeties say he is faster than he appears. Hurd was fourth in SEC rushing last season with 1,288 yards along with 12 touchdowns. He is a willing blocker and better than average receiver. He is within range (892) of Tennessee’s career rushing record but there is only one football and Alvin Kamara and Dobbs will have it a fair share. Sutton is good, very good. He has been the Vols’ best corner for three years. Certain sportswriters tell him he is great. SEC coaches and

pro scouts are less comforting. Coaches selected half a hundred 2015 all-SEC stars and did not mention Cameron. NFL provided mixed reviews. That is why he is here instead of there. Sutton led America with 18.7 yards per punt return. His 467 are a school career record. Reeves-Maybin, natural leader, is critical to the UT defense. He led with 105 tackles, 14 for losses. He figures to find more in the Bob Shoop blitz package. Cross your fingers on whether the repaired shoulder is 100 percent strong. Barnett is an intimidating pass rusher and strong enough at 6-3 and 257 to hold his own against running attacks. He tied for fourth in the SEC with 10 sacks and has 20 in his career. That is in the general direction of

Reggie White, school recordholder with 32. Evan Berry was the nation’s top kickoff returner in 2015 (38.3 average, three TDs, 804 yards, fourth-most in school history). Foes paid great compliments. They kicked away from him. Evan received more recognition than all other Vols combined: First-team allAmerica by Walter Camp, Sporting News and Sports Illustrated; second-team by Football Writers of America, CBS and Fox. He was SEC special teams player of the year. Berry didn’t play all that much on defense but he may play more. Last we saw, he was running toward the ocean with a Northwestern pass he pilfered in the bowl game. Marvin West awaits your input. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Volunteers keep Morning Pointe jumping Employees from Max Air Trampoline Park in Powell jumped at the chance to stop by LANTERN Memory Care at Morning Pointe of Powell and visit with resident Earl Hoffmeister. The group spread smiles and performed light fitness routines with residents. Hoffmeister enjoyed their visit very much, stating that the group “got the joint jumping!�

The volunteers loved the opportunity to make a difference by engaging 18 residents in lively, music-filled exercises with balloons and bats. Hoffmeister gave the day a stamp of approval, saying that the volunteers were welcome back any time. Max Air manager Dezirae Cary promised that they would stop back by the facility very soon.

As part of the Life Enrichment Program, Morning Pointe of Powell’s assisted living community invites local performers to share their talents with residents.

The woman who lost a coin “Or what woman having 10 silver coins, if she loses one, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’� (Luke 15:8-9 NRSV)

Whitney Pittman and Lexie Dishner lead the group in worship and song at the opening of Bible School.

Got fruit? Powell Church hosted Vacation Bible School last week and focused on the fruits of the spirit. Each night participants selected an area of interest, from nature creations to cooking to recycled art and team games.

Reflections of a young pastor Jonathan Warren was just 29 when he was called as pastor of Powell Presbyterian Church. Now the Illinois native is moving back home, but says it’s “bittersweet� to leave the community where he’s lived the longest as an adult. Six and a half years ago with the country bogged down in a recession, Powell Presbyterian had just celebrated its 40th anniversary. The church was at a crossroads of sorts, and had adopted the denomination’s motto: Follow, love and go. It fell on Warren to lead the way. He quickly discovered as a young pastor “that we learn faith from each other.� His mentor was a woman in her 70s who got cancer.

latians 5:22-23 which states, “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol. Against such things there is no law.� During the week, students were encouraged to bring soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste as an offering to help stock the church food pantry for individuals in need.

Every woman on the planet can identify with the woman in Jesus’ parable. We have all lost an earring, a recipe or a favorite book. I recently took off a favorite bracelet that Lewis had given me, and put it in a safe place. Famous last words, right? This happened at Lake Junaluska, at Annual Conference, and I had lots of other things on my mind. Later, when I started looking for it, I was fearful that somehow or other I had dropped it at the lake, and although the kind people there put it on their “lost items� list, along with my contact information, I didn’t hold much hope. I continued searching, looking over and over in the same places, expecting different results. (A foolish tactic, I know, but at least I was doing something.) Then one morning I decided to go through the pockets in my shirts. Eureka! There it was, patiently awaiting its recovery. It is on my wrist now, as I write. In addition to learning a lesson in hope and patience, I learned something about Jesus. It hadn’t occurred to me to think about this young rabbi using this particular illustration to make a point with his listeners. I realized that Jesus knew quite well how women’s hearts and minds work. I wonder if his mother ever lost something in their Nazareth home, and her young son watched (or helped) her search for it!

From page A-1 She relied on her “incredible faith� (while also taking chemotherapy and radiation) and ultimately recovered. But first she counseled Warren not to worry. “It’s OK. I’ve had a good life.� A few weeks spent in Israel “allowed me to preach differently.� The Jordan River, which he had imagined was like the Tennessee River, was really more like Beaver Creek. “All that history in that little area – it made the Bible a lot more real.� Warren says it’s easy to project our culture onto others. He served as a missionary in Kenya, before coming to Powell. Later, through mission work in Haiti, he watched Americans provide a bed for each child at an orphanage. But the kids, separated from their families, wanted comfort. They shared mattresses to be near someone at night. We used to send American doctors, but that’s not ideal, he said. It’s better to take the top students from each school, people who can already speak the dialect and are dedicated to their community, and send them for medical training. Recently, the Powell church stepped out on faith to launch a new ministry for young adults. “We wanted to meet people where they are. We studied and prayed,� Warren said. He thought of youngsters reading Harry Potter and being fascinated

by superheroes. Geekworks was born. (Find it on Facebook at GeekWorksKnoxville) Warren got a SpiderMan outfit. Now he’s reading to kids at branch libraries. He’s trying to get kids, especially boys, to read. “They know these stories like Luke Skywalker. We share a common story of grace, justice and how to use power for good.� Warren knows Powell Presbyterian Church will continue to change and grow with a new pastor. He says these are exciting and anxiety-producing times. Much like the printing press led to the Reformation some 500 years ago, the Internet is changing the ways we connect. “We see changes in both the culture and the church.� Amid the changes, we can count on Jonathan Warren to follow, love and go. Godspeed, pastor. – S. Clark

SEEK program: Creating a working resumĂŠ “Don’t be afraid to sell yourselfâ€? - Leanne Friebel By Ruth White Writing a resumĂŠ can be an intimidating task for people who have worked many years, not to mention students coming out of high school. What is important on a resumĂŠ? Is there a specific style that is used to make one? What if I haven’t had a job in the past? Leanne Friebel, workbased learning coordinator in Union County, walked students through the steps of creating the best possible resumĂŠ. “Remember, you

are speaking on your own behalf, don’t be afraid to sell yourself,â€? she said. Important elements of a resumĂŠ include work experience and references. What does a student do if he/she hasn’t had a job or has limited experience? Friebel encouraged them to list any type of experience. “Did you babysit over the summer? Did you mow lawns? Do you watch children in child care at church or work in Bible School? That’s experience. Put that on your resumĂŠ.â€?

She also asked them to think about qualities they may possess. “Are you good with numbers? Are you organized? Do you enjoy working with your hands?â€? References are important on the resumĂŠ, because people are listed who know your character and know how you interact with others. Friebel suggested using individuals you have known for several years like a teacher, family friend or someone from church. “Don’t put down a boyfriend or girlfriend as a reference because if you break up or get in a fight, they may not speak highly of you

to an employer.â€? Make sure the contact information on a reference is correct and always make sure that it is okay to use a person as your reference. “You never want a reference called by a prospective employer to be caught off guard,â€? she said. Even the simplest resumĂŠ should speak well of someone’s ability and willingness to learn on the job and should be updated as new skills are learned and the employee gains experience in the field. For assistance in creating a resumĂŠ, visit the website Jobs4Tn.gov and create an account to begin accessing helpful job tools.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

“a breakfast serials story�

We send the world a message

Story So Far: With the Soccer Season plan. an ordinary day. I looked outside and saw down to the last game, and all previous When I woke the next morning, I have to the sun was shining. I thought, “Good.� For games lost, Captain Ed Sitrow thinks up a admit, I was excited. It wasn’t going to be the first time I wanted a game to happen. I got to breakfast a little early, actually feeling happy. “ To d a y ’s the day,� Dad announced. “Right.� “ To d ay you’ll really win,� chipped in my ma. “Could be.� My father leaned across the table and gave me a friendly tap. “Winning the last game is what matters. Go out with your head high, Ed.� “And my backside up if I lose?� I wanted to know. “Ed,� said my ma, “don’t be so hard on yourself. Your father and I are coming to watch.� “Suit yourselves,� I said, and beat it to the bus. As soon as I got to class, Saltz and I collected the T-shirts. “What are you going to do with them?� the others kept asking. “You picked me as captain, didn’t you?� “Mr. Lester did.� When we got all the shirts, Saltz and I sneaked into the Art Room and did what needed to be done. Putting them into a bag so no one would see, we went back to class. “Just about over,� I said. “I’m almost sorry,� confessed Saltz. “Me too,� I said. “And I can’t figure out why.� “Maybe the team that loses together really stays together.� ! ! “Right. Not one fathead in the whole $

! team. Do you think we should have gotten !

! a farewell present for Mr. Lester?� “Like what?� &"" “A deflated soccer ball.� ' #

&"!" It was hard getting through the day. I #

&"! couldn’t count the people who wished me " $ ""! luck. If I lived to be a hundred, I’d never run out of it. It was obvious they considered # # % !!! me the unluckiest guy in the whole world. I kept wishing I could have banked it for something important. Trouble was, it was % ! just for sports. #" But the day got done. Down in the locker room, as we got

ready, I passed out the T-shirts.

Barish held his up. It was the regular shirt with “S.O.R.� on the back. But under it Saltz and I had added some iron-on letters. Now they all read: S.O.R. LOSERS B a r i s h’s reaction was just to stare. That was my only nervous moment. Then he cracked up, laughing like crazy. The rest, once they saw it, joined in. When Mr. Lester came down, he brought Mr. Tillman. We all stood up and turned our backs to them. “Oh, my goodness,� moaned Mr. Lester. “That’s sick,� said Mr. Tillman. “Sick!� His happy beads shook angrily. “It’s honest,� I said. “It’s defeatist,� yelled Tillman. “Mr. Tillman,� I asked, “is that true, about your trying out for pro football?� He started to say something, then stopped, his mouth open. “Yeah. I tried to make it with the pros, but couldn’t.� “So you lost too, right?� “Yeah,� chimed in Radosh, “everyone loses sometime.� “Listen here, you guys,� said Mr. Tillman, “it’s no fun being rejected.� “Can’t it be okay to lose sometimes?� I said, “You did. Lots of people do. You’re still alive. We don’t dislike you because of that.� “We got other reasons,� I heard a voice say. I think it was Saltz. Mr. Tillman started to say something, but turned and fled. Mr. Lester tried to give us a few final pointers, like don’t touch the ball with our hands, only use feet, things that we didn’t always remember to do. “Well,� he said finally, “I’ve enjoyed this.� “You did?� said Porter, surprised. “Well, not much,� he admitted. “I never coached anything before. To tell the truth, I don’t know anything about soccer.� “Now you tell us,� said Eliscue. But he was kidding. We sort of knew that. Just as we started out onto the field, Saltz whispered to me, “What if we win?� “With our luck, we will,� I said. We went out to the field. Last game. Tada! (To be continued.)

String camp for kiddos By Sara Barrett More than 200 student musicians from 10 area counties and just about every grade level gathered at Hardin Valley Academy last week for the K nox v ille Canon S y mphony Orchestra’s annual Summer String Camp.

Students age 6-18 performed in small groups based on their instruments and skill levels before assembling on the auditorium stage as part of a larger orchestra. This is West Valley Middle School student Alex Canon’s first year at KSO camp, and he says he was pleasantly surprised. “I liked meeting new people, and I was surprised by the smaller classes,� says Alex. He plays the viola and doesn’t like it when people

New rules for downtown parking The city of Knoxville is installing 1,000 new parking meters, raising rates for downtown parking and increasing enforcement, effective July 1. The goal is to create more turnover of parking spaces in high-demand areas. â– New meters will be installed downtown, including Gay Street. â– The meters will be in effect Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Gay Street and around Market Square, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. elsewhere. â– Long-term meter rates will be 30 cents an hour, with a 10-hour limit. â– City-owned garages will continue to be free on weekends and after 6 p.m.

on weekdays, and will charge $1 an hour on weekdays. Monthly parking rates at city-owned garages will increase by $5 a month. â– Monthly parking for weekday commuters at the Civic Coliseum garage will decrease to $15 a month with new trolley routes providing free service from the Coliseum garage every 7 to 8 minutes on weekdays. The garage is a 5-minute walk from Gay Street. The 1,022 solar-powered parking meters will accept credit cards or change, and will include sensors that will enable city engineers to track actual usage of street parking spaces.

Paul Hibben of Highway Markings gave the Halls Business and Professional Association a crash course in road construction June 21. Highway Markings was the HBPA’s featured business for the month, and Hibben said the company has been in business for 30 years as a specialty roadwork contractor. Lines on the roads, signage, guardrails, reflective strips – all fall under Highway Markings’ area of expertise. “Anything that helps make it a little bit safer when you’re driving,� Hibben said. Clients include Knox County and the Tennessee Department of Transportation, but Highway Markings reaches as far west as Jackson, Tenn., and as far east as Charlotte, N.C., employing 45-50 people during the peak season. Hibben said road markings go back to Roman times, when stones of different colors were used to denote right-of-way. The U.S. federal government regulated road signs in 1935, ensuring that signage was standard from state to state. Gas taxes paid at the pump are the only source of

Wright

Madison Wright has joined The Pointe at Lifespring as the sales and marketing assistant. Located in Northeast Knoxville, the new assisted living and memory care community is expected to be ready for occupancy in November 2016. Wright graduated from Carson Newman University with a bachelor’s degree in commu-

funding for our roads, Hibben said. He shared a graphic showing that the average person pays about $300 per year for roads. That money is divided between the state and federal government, but the federal government disperses its share back to the states. There has not been an increase in those taxes since 1989, and Tennessee ranks 39th among the 50 states in the amount of state tax levied at the pump. Since Tennessee is a payas-you-go state for roads, the state doesn’t accrue debt for roadwork. But, Hibben said those tax dollars go for

good, needed projects. “The word ‘tax’ is not necessarily the worst word in the dictionary,� he said. Highway Markings has taken part in many wellknown local projects, including the Highway 33 Bridge over Norris Lake, the I-75 rockslide, work at McGhee-Tyson Airport, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and more. “We get calls from all kinds of places,� he said. “That enables us to provide folks with jobs and keep our company open.� Info: highwaymarkings. com or 865-922-9238

Summit emphasizes green influence of cities There were two primary themes at the recent U.S.China Climate-Smart/LowCarbon Cities Summit in Beijing, says Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. The first was that the two super powers will have to work together to affect change. The second was that change will start with cities. Forty Chinese mayors and 20 U.S. mayors attended, including Rogero, who was accompanied by Erin Gill, director of the city’s Office of Sustainability. The U.S. and China are the world’s two largest economies and are the two largest contributors to carbon emissions. Aggressive goals have been set by both countries to reduce emissions, but each is in a different place, Rogero says. The U.S. is already actively cutting emissions, while China’s goals call for emissions to peak before reduction can begin. Some cities plan to peak sooner than the national commitment. At the summit, Rogero made a presentation about Knoxville’s green efforts with DuBuque, Iowa, Mayor Roy D. Buol. She talked about how important it is for cities to measure green-

house gases, and said cities need to lead by example by reducing energy consumption. Knoxville is already seeing savings from efficiency upgrades to municipal buildings. She also talked about the importance of partnering with the community, as the city did with TVA for Knoxville Extreme Energy Makeover, and Knoxville’s emphasis on green engineering practices. Rogero was impressed by the number of bike facilities in Beijing until she realized that the number of cyclists is decreasing. “What looked good was actually worse.� While China has traditionally relied on bicycles for transportation, it now faces increasing automobile ownership. Driving is restricted through practices like license tag lotteries. In recent decades, the Chinese government has focused on economic growth.

Lower premiums for Rural/Metro customers By Wendy Smith The Public Protection Class (PPC) for the portion of Knox County within the Rural/Metro service area has changed from five to three, which will result in an approximate 35 percent reduction in insurance premiums, according to Rural/ Metro Fire Chief Jerry Harnish. The change is effective Aug. 1. He explained the change to the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen last week. The PPC is the numeri-

cal rating assigned to each community by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), which prepares and develops information that the insurance industry uses to set rates. The ISO evaluates emergency communications systems and dispatching, the fire department and the public water supply. PPC ratings range from one, which is the best, to 10, which means unprotected. Only about eight percent of communities surveyed by ISO have a PPC of three or better.

A sample annual premium for a 25-year-old house with a $200,000 value and a PPC of five is $1,136. With a PPC of three, the annual premium drops to $774. Knox County had a PPC of nine in 1978. In 1995, it dropped to four. It went up to five in 2012 when all water districts began being graded together. The new Choto fire station affected the rating because it added fire engines and reduced response times, said Harnish.

Parkwest Medical Center has received designation as a NICHE hospital. The Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders designation indicates a hospital’s commitment to elder care. “The NICHE designation shows our dedication to providing patient-centered care for older adult patients,� says Lynn Cagle, BSN, MBA, CENP, vice president and chief nursing officer at Parkwest. “Through our participation in the NICHE program we are able to offer evidencebased, interdisciplinary approaches that promote

Guy Haworth weathered the Depression classroom. He instructed calmly and added an encouraging word. He was not into yelling or screaming or baiting officials. He was not Vince Lombardi or Knute Rockne. He was not big on fiery pep talks. There was never enough money. Uniforms rarely matched. There was a season when the football team had only one football. There wouldn’t have been enough money at the Haworth home had Guy and the family not been frugal and enterprising. Kate Mae Haworth, also a graduate of Carson-Newman, was qualified to teach, but Knox County had a no-nepotism policy. That meant both scrounged for odd jobs. Haworth worked one summer on construction of Norris Dam. He said he got that job because he wrote “football coach” on his application. The personnel manager interpreted that as “probable leader.” Mrs. Haworth started a kindergarten class at her home. She also taught piano lessons. One Saturday morning, Haworth made a very good move. He bought 17 acres fronting on Emory Road at auction. The bidding came down to him and Lynnus Gill. Haworth had $200 more in his pocket. Gill settled for adjoining property and built a building supply business. Haworth eventually traded his purchase to Knox County for a house and lot and $2,000. Powell High School was built on that Emory Road property. Incidentally, the Haworth home became a conversation piece. In the mid-1930s, the Smithsonian Institute built a new gallery on the mall in Washington. It featured Tennessee pink

By Marvin West One hundred and sixty dollars a month didn’t sound like all that much in historic Powell Station in early S eptemb er 1929. It sounded a lot betGuy Haworth ter a little later, after the devastating collapse of the stock market, after unemployment soared to overwhelming, after the economic world was left standing on its ear. Guy Haworth graduated from Carson-Newman College early that summer and went immediately to the Knox County school board to apply for a job. Because he said he could teach science and coach, he got one that proved priceless. He was assigned to the high school at Powell Station. Already in place were principal B. Frank Evans, Evelyn Anthony and Mary McLeod. Knox County had not yet heard of equal pay for women. Mary was to receive $145 per month. Evelyn’s check would be $130. Haworth’s $160 was an OK start for a married man but nothing to get excited about. Of course Evans was at a higher scale, $230. Black Tuesday, the Wall Street crash, was Oct. 29. It was the official beginning of the Great Depression. Banks closed. Industry gave up. Foreign trade evaporated. Many panicked. Millions just wrung their hands. Young Professor Haworth weathered the storm. He had a job. Haworth did what he said he could do. He taught and coached – football, boys and girls basketball and baseball. Powell Station did not have athletic teams before his time. His style in sports was much the same as in the

marble from a quarry in Knoxville. Stones were cut to fit and shipped ready for assembly. A lot of scrap marble was left behind. Haworth purchased enough to build a new house, stone all around from ground to roof. He paid $52. Trucking it to Powell Station cost half again that much.

The crew wrestled with the visual of a learned man, college graduate, teacher and coach sweating in the summer sun and getting his hands dirty. Guy was motivated. The previous home had been torn down to rebuild on the site. He, his wife and young son Alvin were living in the garage. Or maybe it was the school gym. The house was modern. It had an electric refrigerator. The house was almost too big a project. There were always little things that needed finishing. Mrs. Haworth spent months sanding and staining door facings and baseboards. (The marble house still stands on Wells Road.) Haworth was always alert for financial opportunities. He worked on Saturdays selling shoes in Knoxville. He recalled his last day: 20 pairs of shoes sold, 95 cents in commission. Community physician Lawrence Cruze believed in fresh milk. He had several

Fireworks = family at Dixie Lee By Betty Bean

Watermelon, swimming holes, lightning bugs and the sharp whine of sky rockets just before they light up the night-time sky – summertime is fireworks time in East Tennessee, and Knox Countians are stocking up on old-school sparklers, bottle rockets, skyrockets and multiple shot repeating items. Dixie Lee Fireworks, a longtime purveyor of consumer fireworks, has all of the above, plus new-fangled products like three-foot sparklers, solid gold sparklers, special wedding sparklers and sparklers that change colors as they burn. And how about this year’s hot item: longfused, reloadable mortar shells that shoot tubes 100 feet into the air, where they explode into colorful starbursts? Dixie Lee has those, too. “The shell, if shot properly, goes straight up into the air,� said proprietor Bill Sharp, who is straightforward about legalities and counsels customers to stay sober and have grownups in charge. “Just make sure there’s enough space around you and someone of the proper age and proper state of mind to be shooting them,� he said. “It is illegal to possess, use

or sell fireworks in Knox County.� This, of course, is why driving to the nearest county line to pick up firecrackers is a holiday tradition for countless Knox countians, who become happy scofflaws every Fourth of July. Dixie Lee Fireworks has been in business since 1948, when William “Benny� Goodman and his wife, Dot, moved their store to Kingston Pike just across the Loudon County line after fireworks were outlawed in Knox County. The Goodmans considered other locations, but chose the junction of the Lee Highway and the Dixie Highway, the major tourist routes leading south and west in those pre-interstate days. And they did very well. So well in fact, that 68 years later, their grandchildren, Bill and Dottie, are keeping up the family tradition. Bill Sharp’s job as a second-grade teacher at Farragut Primary School

leaves his summers free to focus on the family business during the key fireworks season from Memorial Day to Labor Day, which he’s predicting will be busier than ever, since the city of Knoxville is discontinuing its big Boomsday celebration. And he’s proud to be continuing his granddad’s tradition of keeping fireworks affordable. “He used to say a kid should be able to come in here with their lawn-mowing money and be able to shoot fireworks for a long, long time. You shouldn’t have to spend a whole lot of money to get a good show.�

Celebrating Independence at Marble Springs By Betsy Pickle

E

very U.S. citizen knows that July Fourth is the day the original American colonists declared independence from England, but that meaning tends to get lost amidst barbecues, fun at the lake and fireworks. Liberty will be front and center, however, on Monday at Marble Springs State Historic Site, 1220 W. Gov. John Sevier Highway. Events throughout the day will revisit aspects of 18th-century life, leading up to a “Let Freedom Ring� ceremony at 2 p.m., when local participants will join people across the country in ringing a bell for each of the 13 original colonies. “John Sevier, who resided on the property and was the first governor of Tennessee, played a vital role in the independence of the United States, having been a Revolutionary War hero, fighting at the Battle of King’s Mountain, which many

historians consider a pivotal turning point in the war for independence,� says Anna Chappelle, executive director of Marble Springs. “Those ties are naturally going to be there, that he fought for our liberty and for our freedom.� A June 26, 1963, resolution by the U.S. Congress established the commemoration of the bell-ringing that took place at 2 p.m. July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia to announce the signing of the Declaration of Independence. “You don’t really see something like this every day,� says Chappelle. The General Henry Knox Chapter of the Tennessee Society, Sons of the Revolution and the newly formed John Sevier Chapter of the Overmountain Victory Trail Association will present the day’s programming. There will also be guided tours of Marble Springs. Terry Sisk, now president of the Gen. Henry Knox Chapter of the Tennessee Society, Sons of the Revolution, instructs a young attendee as she takes part in the July 4, 2014, bell-ringing To page 4 ceremony at Marble Springs State Historic Site.

A log cabin, constructed from a kit, was the site of numerous Fourth of July celebrations on Watts Bar Lake.

Lake fun

Fun on the water revolved around a lime green Fabuglas runabout.

on the

Fourth of July By Wendy Smith

T

he founding fathers had a vision for our country when they signed the Declaration of Independence, but they couldn’t possibly have imagined how that historic event would be celebrated by future generations. In East Tennessee, many of our Fourth of July festivities take place on the water. When I was a kid, my family observed the holiday at a log cabin tucked in a small cove on Watts Bar Lake. In those days, lake houses weren’t status symbols. They were generally rustic affairs, filled with throwaway furniture that couldn’t be damaged by kids in wet swimsuits.

We had no air conditioning during our first summer at the cabin, so my mother’s candles melted. When our well pump malfunctioned, we bathed in the lake. I was proud of the bathroom vanity that my dad found at the dump. He always stressed that the cabin was an investment rather than a frivolity. But we had plenty of fun anyway, especially on holidays, when friends made the trip to Sugar Grove Valley to join us. On the Fourth, they arrived early enough to enjoy the water before the evening festivities. That meant piling onto our lime green runabout to ski or ride the Zip Sled, a bulky plastic board with a rope handle that almost any kid could ride.

#7 & # +) :

If I got my way, we headed toward the Sandbar. Scads of boaters anchored along the edge of this sandy peninsula, and kids headed to the point, where they could wade out 100 yards and still be in waistdeep water. It was loud and rowdy, so children loved it and parents endured it. On the way back, I’d beg my dad to ski. We didn’t have a fancy boat or expensive equipment, but nothing was more entertaining than watching my father take one of his two skis off and tuck it under his arm. When we got back to the cabin, the kids would play on black rubber inner tubes or sling mud at each other. Sometimes, especially brazen children removed their swimwear. At least one bikini top was lost until the following winter when the water receded from the cove. As the sun began to set, the men would light the grill, and the kids light the daytime fireworks, like firecrackers, smoke bombs and charcoal snakes. Bottle rockets made a delightful sound when they exploded under the water. The real fireworks began after the

burgers. The mothers sat up at the house while the kids and dads ran the show. My mother continuously protested that the children were too close to the fireworks. As careful as we were, a Roman candle would sometimes misfire and almost hit the house – or the mothers – and this would end the show early. We no longer have that log cabin in the cove, but I’ll always cherish the memories. Ben, Tom, John and company couldn’t have had more fun on the Fourth than we did.
