Magic at Powell Playhouse

By Betty Bean Powell Playhouse maestro Nita Buell Black smells magic in the air – Excalibur Magic. Fourth generation magician Lance Johnson, acclaimed as the South’s most gifted abracadabra practitioner, is bringing his act, “A New Twist in Reality,” to the playhouse Friday, July 19.

“This is Lance’s solo debut at Powell Playhouse, and I’m very excited,” Black said. “He has an assistant, and I don’t know whether he’s going to levitate this lady or cut her in half.”

Powell Playhouse regulars got a taste of what Johnson can do when he appeared there in January as a supporting act in a show called “Rhythm and Laughter” which featured his father, ventriloquist Wade Johnson, and his dummy,

MinuteClinic opens at CVS

By Cindy Taylor CVS has brought a new choice for medical care to Powell with the opening of its MinuteClinic inside the store at 417 Emory Road. Mayor Tim Burchett participated in the June 26 ribbon-cutting.

The clinic offers many of the same services as a physician’s office, plus longer hours than most, and promises less wait time. Pam Bolen is a clinic practice manager for MinuteClinic in Nashville.

“We provide very similar services as a physician’s office but the way we retain our patients is our customer service,” said Bolen. “When it comes down to the relationship that is what keeps patients coming back to us.”

Clinic practice manager Diane Pinkard says CVS pioneered the movement to establish medical clinics inside stand-alone pharmacies with the opening of its first clinic in 2006.

“The clinics offer accessibility, convenience and affordability while keeping quality care and customer service a top priority,” she said.

The clinic is open seven days a week and no appointment is needed.

Below, CVS staff joined Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett for the ribboncutting at the new MinuteClinic.

Tennova promises north presence after move to Middlebrook

By Betty Bean A trio of Tennova brass turned out last week to reassure a crowd of North Knoxville residents and five members of City Council that Tennova will maintain a strong presence in the facility formerly known as St. Mary’s. They also said that plans to relocate Physicians Regional Medical Center to Middlebrook Pike are moving forward.

Tennova Director of Development Melanie Robinson said Tennova is continuing to spend money on the old hospital on the edge of the inner city, primarily in renovations to the LL2 main lobby and St. Mary’s Women’s Pavilion which are in process.

She listed the assets at the old hospital – it is the only accredited

chest pain center in the county and the busiest emergency room in the county. And the presence of the Sisters of Mercy, founders of St. Mary’s 83 years ago, is a huge plus.

“There is a great culture there started by the sisters.

That’s incredibly important to us.

We have pledged Garfield to keep the sisters there as long as they want to be,” Robinson said.

But she said there are serious problems as well, foremost of which are the wishes of doctors who want to follow the population growth on the west side of town. There are also problems associated with operating and maintaining a 1.6 million square foot building, parts of which

are severely dated.

“Those are the realities,” Robinson said. “We considered four options.”

Those options are maintaining the status quo, which Robinson said was rejected by physicians, the majority of whom “… are choosing to practice elsewhere,” she said. “Our physicians bring our patients in the door.”

The second option – “status quo plus” – is a major remodel that would have to begin with an $80 million electrical upgrade.

“This would deeply interrupt patient care today. This is our largest busiest hospital and we cannot do this,” Robinson said.

Option three is to build a flagship medical center at Tennova North, the new facility off Emory Road at I-75.

“Physicians are not excited about

“We also offer free home delivery and bubblepacking services.

that option,” Robinson said, adding that staging such a move would be extremely difficult.

The fourth, and preferred, option is to move Physicians Regional Medical Center to Middlebrook Pike where Tennova has optioned 107 acres. Robinson said this move will better serve patients from an 11-county area.

Most members of the audience are residents of North Knoxville and/or Fountain City, many of whom said they were born, or had had children born at St. Mary’s. A sprinkling of West Hills residents who live near the new site were present, as well. They are upset that they were given no notice of a bill that was approved by the legislature to remove the scenic highway designation from the segment of MiddleTo page A-2

Third retirement’s the charm for Madge Cain Madge Cain doesn’t know whether she’s going to like retirement or not. After all, she retired twice before.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS She’s 85, looks at least 15 years younger and says she loves people. So, she’s particularly going to miss her part-time job as a teller at the ORNL Federal Credit Union’s Clinton Highway branch. She’s worked there for two and one-half days a week for 17 years and only had to take two sick days.

“They’ve been so good to me,” Madge says. “I didn’t want any promotion. I just wanted to keep my little window.”

Madge grew up on Cabbage Road in Halls and graduated in the Halls High Class of 1946. Her father, Will Coomer, had a dairy.

“I grew up milking cows and buttering milk.”

Will had a delivery route and one of his customers gave Madge piano lessons in exchange for milk.

She went to work at Park Bank as a file clerk right out of high school. That lasted until a young man named Charles Cain noticed the red-headed girl playing the organ during a revival at Salem Baptist Church.

Charles took one look and said, “I’m going to marry that girl.” And he did, two years later, in January 1950.

Madge stayed home to raise her children until Charles, an electrical engineer at KUB, died of leukemia in 1965. She was 38 and by that time had three girls: Anne, 12; Carolyn, 10, and Linda, 6.

“KUB offered me a job, but it just had two weeks off in the summer and I needed more time with the girls.

My two sisters were in education, so they wrote (then Knox County Schools Superintendent) Mildred Doyle a letter.”

Madge went to work as the secretary and bookkeeper at Cedar Bluff Elementary (and later Cedar Bluff Intermediate) for 13 years.

“At the time, I thought it took an eternity to (drive) there!”

She eventually found a job closer to home at Transus Motor Freight on Pleasant Ridge Road.

“I worked there for 18 years until it sold out to an-

Madge Cain is retiring from the Clinton Highway branch of ORNL Federal Credit Union on July 27. It’s her third official retirement and her fourth job.

other freight company.”

That’s when somebody at Beaver Dam Baptist, where she attends, told Madge that ORNL was hiring senior citizens.

She’s been blessed with good health and gives God all the credit.

“I’ve been in the hospital three times, to have my three kids, and that’s it. The Lord has been so good. He also helped me with my children. I don’t know how I got them through UT and all the bills paid.”

Madge says her mother, Bessie, lived with her for 10 years and helped with the children. She’s quite proud of them.

Anne Allen is the music secretary at Beaver Dam. Carolyn Lovelace is the executive assistant to the Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance in Nashville. Linda Ruth, an architect with Auburn University, leads the university’s Student Abroad program in Ariccia, Italy, 20 miles south of Rome. Madge, Anne and Carolyn visited Linda overseas, a trip she’ll never forget.

She also has five grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and was expecting another great-grandchild early last week.

Madge likes to put quilts together and enjoys yard work, although she finally gave up mowing her acre of land two years ago.

Asked about future plans she says, “I don’t know. I’ll do some kind of volunteer work. I like people. I’ve got to help people.”

She’ll also continue to sing in the Silvertone choir and the sanctuary choir at Beaver Dam. And she’ll enjoy spending time on her screened-in porch, which she calls, “My haven of rest on this earth.”

You can take one thing to the bank. Whatever she ends up doing, Madge Cain won’t be sitting still.

By Libby Morgan Friday evening, awards were presented at the Fountain City Art Center for a spectacular array of area artists’ talents submitted to the center’s annual open show. The judge, Terry Chandler, said he found it difficult to narrow down the field to just 10 awards out of 91 entries in the exhibit. The show is free to the viewing public through August 8.

Best of Show was awarded to Lee Edge for a watercolor portrait, “Por-

trait of Di M.” First and third places were awarded to Brad Parker, and Cody Swaggerty’s “Sea Turtle” took second place.

Honorable mention was awarded for works by Marty McConnaughey, Bob Weir, Janet Trewhitt, Aurora Harrison Bull, Kate McCullough and Johanna Humphrey.

Sylvia Williams, art center director, says, “We were especially pleased that an award went to Cody Swaggerty, a young artist who has worked

She’s one Johnson short, says Lance Johnson.

“My niece, Carley Johnson, will actually be doing the MC-ing, and this will be the first time in 30 years that our family has done a show together – a complete Johnson family show. I am going to open the show and go for about 25 minutes. Dad will come on and do his ventriloquist act and then I’ll come back and close the show.”

When asked to define the difference between a magician and an illusionist, Johnson cracked an old trade joke: “If you are an illusionist,

you can charge more money for shows,” he said, laughing. “An illusionist does the big box tricks. I have a warehouse full of illusions.”

Lance, whose day job is working for Chattanooga commercial developer CBL & Associates Properties Inc., says it would have been hard for him not to be interested in magic, which he started absorbing at an early age from his grandfather, James Johnson.

“From the first time I saw my grandfather practicing or doing shows, I was hooked,” he said. “Out of everyone in the family, I’m the only one who does it professionally.

diligently over the last few years since high school to improve his technique and has clearly succeeded, as demonstrated by his three entries. Another promising young artist with two pieces in the show is Brandi Lee, who won an award at last year’s open show.”

The exhibit includes pottery, amazing decorative gourds, a handmade book, a leather and fossil sculpture, oils, watercolors, pastels, graphite pencil drawings, fused glass and many mixed media pieces.

For more information about this exhibit, future exhibits, events, classes and workshops at the center: 357-2787, fcar tcenter@knology.net, www.fountain cityartctr.com or on Facebook.

The center is open Tuesday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and most Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is located in the old library next to the Fountain City Park at 213 Hotel Avenue.

of the company. But he reassured his audience that Tennova is on firm financial footing and remains committed to serving its Knoxville patients.

“We had to get on board 20 months ago and figure out why Mercy (the successor to St. Mary’s) was having so many financial difficulties. We’ve already done it. That’s behind

us. Health Management knows how to run a hospital.”

Garfield said Tennova is making a 50-year commitment to Knoxville.

The meeting was arranged by 4th District City Council member Nick Della Volpe. Also present were Mark Campen, Daniel Brown, Finbarr Saunders and Duane Grieve.

No one but me. Nobody else really wanted to do it. I have all the magic he had from years ago, and a lot of the magic he passed down to me is not made anymore, and people don’t get to see it very much. … I keep a lot of his magic in storage because it’s too valuable to take a chance on it getting broken or lost, or something.”

Lance began doing magic tricks when he was 10 years old, performing for paying audiences when he was 13.

A graduate of the Bermuda Mavericks Comedy School, he has worked comedy clubs all over the country, primarily in the Southeast. He has also performed at schools, colleges and events at Fortune 500 companies.

His assistant, Stacey Morrow, will be with him for the Playhouse gig, and they plan to do two spectacular illusions, one of which will be their signature illusion, “Tubed Out,” which he says is difficult to describe.

“To put it on paper would not do it justice,’” he said.

“It’s a puzzle illusion – she’s in a box and I put tubes and spears through the whole thing. It’s basically a dissection illusion. Pretty neat.

“These shows like the Powell show are shows I love to do – family shows, magic for kids to enjoy, as well as parents. There’s a lot of comedy and audience participation. And parents are saying, ‘Wow! How did he do that?’”

Come…let us tr eat you lik e royalty.

Storyteller Georgi Schmitt is surrounded by children as she “monkeys” around at the Powell Library. Pictured are Landon Godfrey, 6, Eva Boch, 3, Ethan Mittleider, 4, Chloe Godfrey, 4, Everleigh Lambright, 2, Schmitt and Clayton Bock, 5.

Stories by Schmitt Before she was halfway into her first song, entertainer Georgi Schmitt had her audience enthralled.

Cindy Taylor

Schmitt performed songs, dances and storytelling at the Powell Branch Library on June 22. Even the shy kids were practically in her lap within a few minutes.

Though she can spin a yarn with the best, Schmitt never planned to make storytelling a career. Schmitt taught dance and music classes in New Orleans and was asked by a parent if she had ever considered storytelling. The parent worked for a booking agency, and once Schmitt agreed to give storytelling a try, her new career was born. The move to Tennessee some years ago brought an even larger variety of tales to her portfolio.

“When I moved here I found stories from this area that I love to tell,” she said.

Schmitt taught American stories along with music and dance to children in Thailand for two years. She has been back in the United States for a year and has kept on telling tales. Children are drawn to her vivacious charm and love that they can perform right along with her.

“I don’t just perform for them. I get them on their feet to dance and sing with me.”

Schmitt, known as “Oma” to her five grandchildren, says she has always told them stories. That helps keep her in great form.

“They keep me on my toes. You can’t mess up a story because they will let you know.”

Schmitt has a daughter who has begun telling stories to her own children so the family tradition can continue.

The Eugenia Williams home File photo by Wendy Smith

Williams home merits protection Over two decades ago, the University of Tennessee acquired by gift the historic Eugenia Williams home at 4848 Lyons View Pike. This home was designed by the noted Knoxville architect John Fanz Staub in 1940.

The only other surviving Staub house in Knoxville is Hopecote on Melrose Avenue, also owned by UT and used for official visitors.

At the time, it was thought the house, which is over 10,000-square-feet on 24 acres, might become the residence for the UT president. In fact, a luncheon was held on April 26, 2006, at the Williams home hosted by then UT President John Petersen where a campaign to raise $3 million was discussed. Jim and Natalie Haslam were to chair that campaign.

The Haslams, prominent attorney and preservationist Tom McAdams and his wife, Melissa, and Sherri Lee attended. Melissa McAdams’ mother, Donna Kerr, and late father, Bill Gallivan, had lived immediately east of the house for many years. That home is now owned by UT Trustee Charlie Anderson.

Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam lives two houses west of the Williams house.

A 24-page brochure had been printed by UT which pictured the Haslams as leading this campaign with the house to be used as a president’s residence.

Later the idea of the UT president having a home provided by the university was abandoned and the current home on Cherokee Boulevard still has not sold despite several attempts.

Why this campaign was abandoned remains speculation. No one is really saying, although it is thought the UT trustees in 2006 wanted it dropped because it might detract from the $100 million capital campaign then starting for UT. On June 13, I toured the house with UT Trustee Raja Jubran. It was a first time visit for both of us.

Interestingly, my request to see the interior of the house had been initially turned down by the UT system public relations

though we still cannot build on that property, Helen Ross McNabb just bought the adjoining property, a church that went into foreclosure.

We can put the safety center on that property. Kudos to HRM for taking the steps to make it happen!”

McNabb Center CEO Andy Black confirmed that the community mental health agency has bought property for the safety center next door to its CenterPointe Detoxification and Crisis Stabilization Center, and that the church building on the property that formerly housed the New Vision Fellowship can be remodeled to meet safety center standards.

“We bought it simply be-

cause it is adjacent to our property. If it is accepted by the city and county, we feel that it has great potential for a safety center.”

Back in February, Black, Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and District Attorney Randy Nichols met with North Knoxville residents and presented the plan to build the safety center next door to the Helen Ross McNabb Center on W. Springdale Avenue in Oakwood Lincoln Park. They were met with complaints that the 37917 zip code has already been asked to accommodate more than its share of social service agencies – particularly those dealing with the homeless population.

In addition to saving

money by remodeling rather than building new, locating next door to the CenterPointe facility will create money-saving efficiencies, Black said.

“We will create savings in staff time and transportation. Rather than an officer arresting them and taking them to jail, they would be diverted through this safety center and triaged here. Alcohol and drug assessment is a 23-hour process, and if they have mental health issues they would have the opportunity to go through the crisis stabilization unit for up to three days.”

The Ball Camp Road property is about three miles from the Springdale Avenue mental health center.

Amy Broyles, Tony Norman and Jeff Ownby missed the vote, which failed 4-4.

Under commission rules, a successful vote must have a majority of the body (or 6 of 11), so Seymour’s challenge was to get 6 of the 8 commissioners present.

Brad Anders, in whose district the property lies, made the motion for rezoning and voted yes. He was joined by R. Larry Smith, Dave Wright and Sam McKenzie.

Voting no were Richard Briggs, Mike Brown, Ed Shouse and Mike Hammond.

Garrett cannot bring back this proposal for one year, although Seymour said afterwards he can bring a different proposal.

Seymour argued that rezoning for 8.5 dwelling units per acre simply made the property more marketable.

He noted that a buyer would have to secure approval for his site plans from all applicable authorities.

Seymour said traffic access would be onto Hardin Valley Road and there would be a 100-foot setback between the development and adjacent subdivision.

“There must be two more hearings before anything can be built,” he said.

“That’s double protection for Harrison Springs.”

Also on June 24, the

commission voted to give $35,000 to Mobile Meals (instead of the $500,000 requested by Broyles).

Wright complained about debris on railroad rightsof-way in the 8th District, leading Brown to mention three “one-lane railroad underpasses” in his district.

Brown concluded: “That sucks.”

The agenda was finished early, perhaps leading to the absences of Norman, Broyles and Ownby for the rezoning meeting at 5 p.m.

Commissioners have a responsibility to attend the once-a-month meeting. Not showing up is irresponsible and does a disservice to citizens.

Just ask Philip Garrett.

Happy Fourth!

Don’t miss the parades in Powell and Farragut this Thursday. Both communitities will go all out to offer family fun to residents.

Enjoy!

Summer recollections NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Ah, summer! We whined and complained for months that winter would never end, spring was cold and wet, and then, there it was, Friday, June 21, the first day of summer!

After all these years, the beginning of summer still calls forth the glorious feeling of school being out, of long, hot days filled with no plans or schedules other than to be outdoors from daylight to dark, and then doing it all again the next day, and the next, for days and weeks to come.

And outdoors was the key. There was very little to hold a kid indoors then.

Being called indoors for supper was usually the main time milepost of the day. And of course there was the occasional rainy day; two in a row was almost unbearable. Mostly, it was out there with the sky, grass, trees and critters, bicycles to be ridden and creeks to be waded in.

With all those long daylight hours, it was as if Mother Nature, remembering all those cold, dreary months just gone by, was trying to get everything up and going, growing all the produce possible as fast as possible. And so summer is a time for a lot of work, too.

Look around at the flower beds full of color, the farmers putting up big fields of hay, acres and acres of rows of corn, growing by the day.

And all that hard work made those resting times even sweeter. Some of the best memories of summer

come from the sittingaround times.

After an enormous Sunday dinner cooked by a grandma, there would be a Sunday afternoon at Uncle Will’s place, just sitting in the yard in the shade, talking, looking, listening, possibly finished off with a big, cold watermelon. And the regular long weekday evenings spent sitting on the porch or in the yard were more frequent, but no less magical. We didn’t realize how close to heaven we were.

Reflecting on this summertime environment, I couldn’t help but think about some of the creatures great and small that provided the background scenery and music for those events, now turned to memories.

Think, for example, of all those fireflies that came out as dusk fell, first low over the grass and then later, up into the trees, as if they were reflecting the lights of all those thousands of stars that could be seen on a clear summer night. A bug that could fly around making its rear end flash with a cool yellow glow? They were great fun to catch and keep in a jar for a little while, but I don’t remember any major discussions about the science behind the phenomenon.

Against the backdrop of stars and fireflies was the orchestra – the music of the summer night. We always felt that the noisy song of the jarflies, mostly our common seven-year ci-

cadas, made it really, officially, summer. And slightly less loud, but a lot more numerous and melodious, were the katydids, sawing away on their little fiddles until well into the night.

And the birds? As summer grows, the birds become much quieter. Courtships are over, parenting duties mostly completed.

The cacophony of early morning birdsong has thinned down and tapers off much earlier in the day.

There are a few diehards, however. One of our most numerous birds, the red-eyed vireo, still sings on and on, well into the afternoon. This has earned him the nickname “preacher bird,” because of his apparent problem of knowing when to quit his vocalizations.

And then there is our voice of the summer night, the mockingbird. He blesses us with his beautiful, ever-changing song, sometimes all through the night.

One used to sing to me each morning as I grudgingly trudged through the predawn hours, delivering the Knoxville Journal, centuries ago.

Of course, in all of this idyllic panorama there has to be a villain or two. For most of us the summer villains are bugs. “Bugs” is a term that covers a whole spectrum of life forms.

Some folks greatly fear caterpillars, others loathe spiders. But for me, the villains that most disturb my enjoyment of a peace-

ful summer evening in the yard are mosquitoes.

People have fought mosquitoes for centuries. DDT proved to be our most effective weapon. We sprayed it on our crops, we sprayed it on the children playing in the streets. The problem with DDT, it turned out, was that it killed everything else, too, including us. And some of the mosquitoes became resistant to it. The mosquitoes are a foe nearly as hard to defeat

as it is for the Vols to beat that other serious pest, the Crimson Tide.

Therefore, it gives me great satisfaction to sit out on a summer evening and watch my allies in this struggle, the bats, the chimney swifts and the swallows, up there working the skies for an enormous harvest of bugs. They catch all their food on the fly (no pun intended, but it does work), and are as skillful maneuvering in the air as those

little “Star Wars” fighter-jet things. They eat tons and tons of insects every night.

And even if one or two of the evil little blood-suckers does get me, I am still happy in the knowledge that thousands of their kin are being consumed right there over my head.

Summer is a marvelous time. I hope we can all still slow down occasionally, just to sit and watch it and listen to it. It sure makes great memories.

It’s genetic; what can I say?

I know that!

I also know that it is sinful.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus chastised his listeners about worry. “Do

not worry about your life,” he said, “what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”

Then he went on to say, “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon

interesting people are not.

Big man Jeronne Maymon does have good news on the sideline. He could be 100 percent healthy by the end of July. Or maybe August. Or soon thereafter. The season doesn’t begin until November.

After Maymon is 100 percent healthy, when he can run full speed and do stop-and-go drills, he has to get into basketball playing condition. That will involve losing weight and regaining quickness.

Antonio Barton, transfer-to-be from Memphis, is healthy but occupied with three Internet courses and an internship. He must finish those to graduate. He must graduate before he can switch schools for his fourth season of eligibility. Some NCAA rules are quirky like that.

Barton and Maymon are very large in Volunteer plans for this winter. An-

tonio is projected as the starting point guard. Maymon is the missing link to the NCAA tournament.

Those two may determine when or if Cuonzo Martin gets a raise.

I like Butch Jones’ brick-by-brick campaign to rebuild Tennessee football.

If that is an original idea, the College Football Hall of Fame, under construction in downtown Atlanta, has copied it.

The hall-to-be is selling commemorative bricks, to be engraved with a name and a message, for $100.

Larger bricks are $200 and $300. I don’t know how much a wall costs but if you want to buy one, I’ll find out.

Twenty-one former Volunteers plus Bob Neyland and Doug Dickey are in the Hall of Fame. The new home in Atlanta is supposed to open in the fall of 2014. It might happen earlier if you buy enough bricks.

in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.”

I have had the privilege of standing on the green, sloping hillside where Jesus spoke those words, looking out over the Sea of Galilee. There were wildflowers growing all over that hill, even in the March winds. There was a souldeep peace in that place, a peace that made me feel that I could lay down all my worries right there, and walk away from them.

Of course, being a worrier, I picked them up again.

But the Talmud tells us about the angels who at-

tend to each blade of grass.

And if each blade of grass has its own angel, then surely I do as well. And so do you!

It is hard to hang onto that assurance sometimes.

I recognize that. However, Jesus insisted that if we would “…strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, …all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6: 33) Or, as one of my college professors assured me, “Be where you are supposed to be; do what you are supposed to do; and everything will be fine.”

It is all about priorities. And apparently we – you and I, all of us – are God’s priorities. And if we make God our priority, and stand faithfully on God’s promise, then what have we to worry about?

It takes prayer and faith that God can handle all our fears, because worry is really a form of fear. And you know what? Three hundred and sixty-five times, the Bible says (in one form or another), “Fear not….”

That is one “Fear not” for every day of the year. That is good enough for me!

What? Me, worry?

Getting ahead of generational poverty

By Wendy Smith The Compassion Coalition helps churches, individuals and social service agencies understand generational poverty with an approach called Bridges out of Poverty. Later this month, the nonprofit will offer its first workshop for those living in poverty.

According to Jessica Bocangel of Compassion Coalition, the workshop, “Getting Ahead in a Just Getting By World,” answers the question that typically follows Bridges Out of Poverty training: now what?

Jim Ott, a school psychologist who has facilitated the Getting Ahead workshop for five years in Iowa, spoke to a packed house at the Compassion Coalition’s Salt and Light luncheon last week at Messiah Lutheran Church.

“I call myself a Bridges out of Poverty evangelist because I’ve seen how lives have been changed by it,” he said.

Getting Ahead applies concepts from Bridges out of Poverty, like using an interactive, relational approach to helping those who come from generational poverty. That separates it from other programs that are set up like a school, which reminds participants of a time when they were not successful, Ott says.

When he first began working with kids from generational poverty, he saw people doing things that made absolutely no sense to him. He believed what he calls the middle class myth: If you worked as hard as I do, you wouldn’t be in poverty. Now, he realizes that his success doesn’t come from hard work, but from his ability to succeed in school.

Another Bridges out of Poverty concept that makes Getting Ahead effective is self-analysis.

Participants examine their physical, spiritual and emotional resources as well as their financial resources. That opens their eyes, he says.

The Getting Ahead workshop is effective, but participants need a support system as they emerge from poverty. Ott helped establish the Circles Initiative in Dubuque, Iowa, which brings people to-

gether from across class lines to provide circles of support to participants.

Wealthy people are experts in provision, and members of the middle class are often experts in planning, he says. The circle also requires experts in poverty – those who have escaped from generational poverty themselves. They understand what it’s like to live only in the moment and to feel like your voice is never heard.

The Compassion Coalition is currently taking applications for the upcoming Getting Ahead workshop.

Participants should be 18 or over, living in poverty, mentally stable and free from substance abuse, and willing to make changes to move toward financial stability. Twelve will be chosen for the 15week class that begins on July 21, and participants will receive a stipend.

Churches and community groups are also needed to provide food and childcare for the workshop.

NEWS FROM POWELL CHIROPRACTIC

Rule #5: If the digestive system isn’t working correctly

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener The second branch of the autonomic nervous system is the parasympathetic system, which works to conserve energy and rebuild tissue. This Dr. Wegener is also the branch that helps slow your heart rate down and get your body back to a normal resting state after you get out of the emergency situation that I described earlier in the sympathetic nervous system. So you can see one branch of the system speeds you up while the other branch slows you down. This is how your body achieves homeostasis. It does this by lowering blood pressure and putting the digestive process to work. Because of the environment we live in today, this branch of your nervous system is usually under-stimulated, and most people do not eliminate their waste properly because this branch does not function the way it should.

Now that you understand the two branches of the autonomic nervous

system, you can see that our body and digestive system were designed to get the most nutrients we could from our food and get rid of the rest.

By the time your food reaches the large intestine, the good nutrients that our body needs have usually been absorbed, and the body needs to excrete the remaining waste. However what happens if we are overly sympathetic, dehydrated and our digestive system is not working correctly? The waste product sits in our colon longer than it’s supposed to which can allow some toxins to be reabsorbed back into our system, making the job even harder on our liver.

This can also affect the good and bad bacteria that are in your colon. Your body will be more concerned with getting rid of the toxins than it would dropping a few extra pounds of fat.

Ospedale and Ripely have been playing together for about eight years. They just started their band with Zach Barneson eight months ago after finding

him in a bar jamming to the guitar. This is Barneson’s first time playing in a band.

Ospedale said he wanted to come down to Knoxville all the way from Wisconsin specifically for the Blue Plate Special on WDVX. It’s an easier way to get the band out there because they performed live on the radio.

The Sisters of Mercy were on hand last week for the dedication of the heritage garden in the courtyard at Tennova. Pictured are sisters Mary Martha Naber, Margaret Turk, Janice Brink, Marie Moore and Albertine Paulus. During the dedication, Steve Diggs with Emerald Youth Foundation called the group and their work at the hospital a “gift from God.”

The Sisters of Mercy

By Joshua Mode The Sisters of Mercy heritage garden was dedicated to the group of nuns who founded the original St. Mary’s Hospital, later Mercy Medical Center.

Five members of Sisters of Mercy attended. To cover the event was a once-in-alifetime opportunity.

This all took place at Tennova (the former St. Mary’s Hospital) in the Physicians Regional Medical Center courtyard.

The event was a very

touching dedication to the sisters. Each was very kind in everything they did, even when everyone was asking for their picture together.

We had a great time hearing the stories of these caring ladies and what they experienced while working in a fast-paced hospital setting.

The garden had a beautiful fountain, colorful flowers, tables where folks can relax and eat, and a bronze bird bath that symbolized

the great importance of these founders.

The garden is to be used as a peaceful spot for staff, patients and family to relax.

These Godly women have touched the lives of a great many people in our region and should be very proud of the honor which they received. However, and true to their calling, they received the honor with humility and the humbleness for which they are known.

The Shopper interns were given a tour of Clarence Brown Theatre by one of its artists in residence, David Alley, who teaches, acts and directs at CBT. Alley first told us the history of the theater and its founder, Clarence Leon Brown.

Brown was admitted to The University of Tennessee when he was just 15. He was fascinated by moving pictures and how they worked, so he moved to New Jersey where he eventually became French fi lm director Maurice Tourneur’s assistant. Brown went on to direct more than 50 fi lms (some of which were Oscar® winners) and was nominated five times for best director at the Academy Awards but never won.

In November 1970, the first permanent theater on the UT campus was dedicated and named after Clarence Brown. It cost $2 million to build, of which $500,000 was donated by Mr. Brown.

Now there is discussion of building a new theater that would cost $70-80 million.

The Clarence Brown Theatre Company was formed in 1974 by British actor Sir Anthony Quayle and Ralph Allen.

Alley also talked about CBT today. One third of its production budget each season comes from a

The historical wall inside the theater features photos of famous Knoxvillians, including David Keith, John Cullum and Dale Dickey. $12 million endowment left

by Brown’s wife, Marian, in her will. CBT also has one of the best graduate acting programs in the country as well as a graduate design program for costumes, set and lighting.

All the programs and classes at Clarence Brown are based on Brown’s quote “The mixing up of young actors and designers with first class professionals is manifestly the only right method of training future theater artists.”

Alley explained how most shows on the main stage are cast with mostly graduate students and professional actors, although CBT also likes to include members from the community in its shows. Its annual production of “A Christmas Carol” and an additional yearly musical accepts younger and older non-company members and non-UT students.

We got to tour the building starting with the main

stage and auditorium. There are 576 seats in the main auditorium. The stage is remarkable because the first 3 rows of seats can be lowered using a hydraulic lift so an orchestra pit can be put in.

There are trapdoors all over the stage to add water features to performances and also so the actors can exit a scene quickly.

Other features in the building include prop, set and costume shops that can be used to teach students as well as to make things for productions.

There are 400-500 lights that can be used for each production. They are all taken down after each production, redesigned and restrung.

Our tour ended with a visit to the dressing rooms.

The men’s dressing room is almost double the size of the women’s. This is because acting was mostly a male profession when the theater was constructed.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Bridging the gap Summer program helps at-risk students

By Jake Mabe Sometimes all you need is an outstretched hand, a bridge, if you will, to help you reach your destination.

The Knox County Schools Summer Bridge Program is designed to do just that. At-risk 8th grade students give up eight weeks of their summer to participate in the program, which aims to qualify them academically for the 9th grade.

Karns High School assistant principal Mike Toth is the principal of the program at Halls High this summer. Most of his 33 students attend Halls Middle School, but a few are from Holston Middle. If successful, they will attend either Halls High or Gibbs High in the fall.

“When I talk to the individual students, I ask them why they are here,” Toth says. One student lost a parent this past year and gave up on school. Some have gotten into serious trouble. And a lot of them have a poor work ethic.”

Middle school administrators look at TCAP scores, particularly in reading, Language Arts and math, and the rate at which a student is passing classes. If they see multiple red flags, they recommend that the student take the Bridge program.

“It’s a year-long conversation.

They know it is coming and their parents know it is coming. The middle school team will determine whether they (the students) will go on to the 9th grade.”

The program is comprised of three components. During the month of June, students take an English/Language Arts class, a computer class and a study skills class.

“In the study skills class, we talk about the importance of an education. We talk about the dollar value of a high school education versus the dollar value of a job if you drop out.

And we go over the dollar value of some kind of post-secondary education, whether that’s college or a trade school. We also work on leadership skills and team building.”

After a week’s break for the Independence Day holiday, students begin a math class and computer programs to supplement the class, as well as continuing the study skills class. Three more students will enroll for the second half of the program.

Toth said the secret to the program’s success is the relationships that blossom in the smaller classroom setting.

Mike Toth chats with a student during the Summer Bridge Program at Halls High School, which helps at-risk 8th grade students qualify academically for the 9th grade. Photo by Ruth White “When you have a classroom of 25-30 kids, you can get lost. Here, in a classroom of 10-20 kids, you get more attention from the teacher and they get to know their principal. Research shows that having a relationship with the adults in the (school) building is as important as a teacher’s ability to teach and the student’s level of intelligence.”

Toth sees to it that those relationships continue throughout a student’s high school experience.

In addition to Halls staff members, Toth plans to ask a Gibbs High counselor or staff member to meet with students who will be going there in the fall, “to give them a familiar face and have that point of contact.”

Toth wants to reward his students at the end of the program, so he’s taking them to the Mountain Challenge, a ropes course at Maryville College.

He recently secured a $600 gift from

the Halls Business and Professional Association to pay for the trip and Beaver Dam Baptist Church is paying for lunch.

“These guys are giving up their whole summer and I wanted to give them something for successful completion. It gets them outside and it’s something that has meaning and purpose but is also fun. The leadership and problem-solving parts of it will put to use some of the things they learned this summer.”

Toth, who has a wife and five kids, is giving up his summer, too. He honestly says part of his motivation is the extra pay, but quickly adds that he wouldn’t be part of the Bridge program if he didn’t love kids. He’s participated in the program twice in the past three years.

Toth grew up in Paw Paw, Mich., earned a bachelor’s degree in vocal music from Michigan State and came to UT as a graduate assistant in the opera program. But, he took a couple of years off, started working at SunTrust bank, and met the principal at

Knox County Council PTA

Alcoa Middle School, who one day asked him, “When are you going to be a teacher?”

He joined the Lyndhurst Program at UT, which was designed for those choosing education as a second career, and earned his certification and a master’s degree in education. He has also earned an Ed.S from LMU. He taught second grade for seven years at Green Magnet School and has been an assistant principal at Karns High for three years.

Toth says the Summer Bridge Program gives students a sense of accountability.

“There’s a checkpoint. If they’re not going to do work, there’s a consequence for it.”

But, more than anything, it shows the students that someone cares about them.

“We set up a structure that’s going to help them. We tell them you have a face and a name and we know who you are and are going to be with you every step of the way. That’s what it’s all about.”

Up a creek…

Family ily even event nt promotes stream health, education

By Jake Mabe

Nothing was going to stop Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett from joining in the fun at the first Families in the Creek event at the Halls Greenway on June 22.

Burchett showed up, put on a pair of waders, jumped in the creek and was holding a fish in about two minutes.

He knows his stuff, too.

“Beaver Creek is the only tributary that begins and ends in Knox County,” Burchett said.

Hizzhonor and a host of families all were sporting big grins that Saturday, just what organizers wanted for the free event.

“Basically, this is family education. We hope to teach them a little about watersheds, mainly stream health, but it’s more about fun,” said Knox County Watershed Coordinator Roy Arthur.

About 40 people took turns in four rotations.

The first rotation was a

fish assessment, in which a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) biologist helped participants collect and identify the fish, the type and number of which are indicators of the creek’s health.

The second rotation involved what Arthur called “kicking up and capturing” bottom-dwelling bugs, which also serves as an indicator of the creek’s health.

The third rotation involved a stream walk, using the Natural Resource Conservation Service visual assessment to help participants evaluate the stream’s health based on a variety of conditions.

The fourth rotation was a scavenger hunt in which participants used observational skills to look at the relationship between land uses and stormwater and how it can affect creek health. Participants were given opportunities to identify actions they could take to reduce these impacts.

The event was hosted by the Beaver Creek Task Force (including the Knox County

News from Rural/Metro

Program, the Stormwater Pro Tennessee Water Resources Research Center, the Knox County Soil Conservation District and Hallsdale Powell Utility District) and Knox County Parks and Recreation.

Arthur said organizers hope to make Families in the Creek an annual event.

Sponsors include Cannon and Cannon, AMEC Engineering, No Pile Left Behind Waste Removal Service, Water Resources LLC, Third Rock Consultants LLC, Food City, and Patterson Trucking and Hauling.

Volunteers included TDEC biologists Larry Everett and Jason Mann, Beaver Creek Task Force members Parci Gibson and Roy Arthur (Knox County Stormwater), Knox County Soil Conservation District members Amy Man and Matt Ledford, UT Tennessee Water Resources Research Center rep Ruth Anne Hanahan, and CAC AmeriCorps members Gabrielle Cantor, Elliot Weidow, Maeghan Chapin, Stephanie Carlson, Chelsea Peters and Chris Woudstra.

Stay safe on the Fourth

By Rob Webb

During the Fourth of July, we commemorate our nat ion’s independence with wonder f u l t r a d i t ion s celebrated with family Webb and friends, including cookouts, wearing the stars and stripes, and fireworks displays.

Unfortunately, our paramedics, firefighters and EMTs see too many holidays ruined by unsafe use of barbecues, grills and fireworks.

More than half of the 11,000 injuries that occur every year from fireworks and grill fires happen within the first week of July, according to the National Fire Data Center.

Before heading off to a fireworks show, many Americans pull out their grills to cook burgers and hot dogs. Make sure that you follow some simple safety tips when lighting up the grill.

■ For gas grills, clean and check integrity of grill hoses before use. Use a pipe cleaner or wire to clear blockage.

Check all hoses for holes, leaks or sharp bends.

■ Move the gas hoses as far as possible from hot surtheir food sources as pos- faces or install a heat shield. sible led them to a spot on ■ If you do detect a gas the northern edge of Sharps Chapel, on a 10-acre hillside with a big eastern sky orientation, a modern house, including processing their and plenty of open space for own chickens.

leak, disconnect immediately and keep open flames away from grill.

■ Never use a gas or charcoal grill indoors. Charcoal burns CO2 gases, which can be harmful in enclosed spaces. Ensure the charcoal is completely extinguished before moving it indoors.

Remember: fireworks are illegal to buy, sell, use or store in Knox County. Fireworks are unpredictable explosives that can dangerously malfunction through improper usage, storage or manufacturer defects.

Never let children use fireworks – even sparklers.

Sparklers can burn up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and catch clothes on fire or cause eye damage. If you live outside the county, store fireworks in a cool, dry location. If you do live in the county, fireworks are illegal to own – even if you don’t use them.

The best way to safely enjoy fireworks this holiday is to take advantage of one of the many local professional shows. The city of Knoxville hosts a free annual Festival on the Fourth at World’s Fair Park with an Independence Day concert from the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. and a spectacular fireworks show at 9:35 p.m.

Keep safety in mind this Fourth of July, and have a wonderful Independence Day!

“I really enjoy helping small startups and have taught classes in online marketing, which I hope to do here at some point,” says Bernadot.

Getting to know Tamara and Darren made me come away thinking there’s nothing they won’t tackle when it comes to independent sustenance, and with their energy and smarts, there’s nothing they can’t do.

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Summer fun at Grace

In June and July, students can experience a week or two of academic enrichment, or they can develop their knowledge and skills in other areas such as art, science, writing, cooking, dance, drama, math, knitting and much more. Each course brings creative and interactive ways to learn, while keeping minds sharp over the summer break.

There are some outstanding summer camps offered this year, each of which offers a different type of challenge and learning opportunity.

For example, the iWrite Camp provides the opportunity to write and present an essay for a live broadcast, giving insight into the world of journalism with first-hand experience.

A STEM Camp allows students to discover an app called Monster Physics, allowing them to learn about air resistance, acceleration and construction of space vehicles. The students then create lunar modules from straws, cardboard, rubber bands and note cards, with marshmallows serving as astronauts.

Their goal is to build a module that can be dropped from various heights while keeping the astronauts safe.

Additional camps use practical teaching methods to convey important lessons on Zachary Shannon completes a grammar, real-life mathematgusher of a science experiment at ics, critical thinking using Grace Christian Academy’s sum- Legos, and even an ACT Prep course that lets students get mer camp.

Af After the h finall b bell ll rang iin May, one would think the doors of the school would be closed until August. However, for many students, summer takes on a whole new look through the many summer camps offered at Grace.

a leg up on college placement exams.

On a slightly different note, there is a camp called Beautiful You which teaches students how to care for skin and hair, including techniques for wearing makeup and dressing for particular body types, followed by a fashion show to celebrate all that was learned.

And, for those students with a dramatic flair, there is a camp called GCA’s Got Talent, where they can learn about acting through monologues, theater games, song and dance.

This camp will culminate with a talent show, where newlyacquired skills can be demonstrated for a live audience.

While every student needs a well-deserved break over summer, these camps provide tools during those months off that offer fun challenges, keep their minds engaged, offer continued social interaction, and afford the chance to learn something that may be completely new! Even during the summer months, the halls and classrooms of Grace Christian Academy are bristling with students eager to learn.

New principal for Teen Board honors three from Grace Grace high school

By Shannon Morris

Three Grace Christian Academy seniors are among a select group of area high school students who will be recognized for their community service by the Teen Board of Knoxville Aug. 3 at the Knoxville Coliseum. This event honors young people who have given at least

By Shannon Morris Grace Christian Academy is excited to announce that, after an extensive search and much prayer, Nathan Stevens has accepted the position of high school principal. Stevens comes to Grace from Hilton Head Preparatory School, where he served as Head of the Upper School. We are confident that Stevens will strengthen our academic foundation and give great leadership to our high school staff.

We will most certainly miss the leadership and presence of our previous principal, Randy Down, who has accepted a position as headmaster at a Christian academy in Naples, Fla. We are tremendously grateful for his five years of tireless service to Grace Christian Academy, and his smiling face will be missed. We pray God’s continued blessing on Down and his

50 hours of volunteer service divided between five or more community-building projects sponsored by the Teen Center.

The Teen Center was founded

by Frances Moncier who, after her daughter was killed by a drunk driver, wanted to provide a positive outlet for area teenagers.

The three Grace students being honored are Ashlyn Bryant, Rachel Asher and Sam Hudson, each of whom was selected as an Outstanding Teen. We, too, would like to honor these terrific seniors and recognize their investment of time and commitment to our city.

Grace welcomes coach Mitch Turner

By Shannon Morris Nathan Stevens is the new principal at Grace Christian Academy’s high school. wife, Kathy, as they embark on this new and exciting journey.

Even though these are large shoes to fill, we believe that God has provided the perfect person for the job. Please pray for both Stevens and Down as they transition to the next phases of life and ministry.

Mitch Turner, who assisted with the team this past season, will be back in 2014 as the Grace Christian Academy high school baseball coach. Turner attended East Mitch Turner Te n ne s s e e State University. After redshirting his freshman year at ETSU, Mitch transferred to

Walters State Community College where he competed in the NJCAA Junior College World Series. The team finished third in the nation.

Mitch graduated from Lincoln Memorial University with a bachelor’s degree in business management and administration, and over the last seven years he has been a business consultant for smallto medium-sized businesses in the Southeast.

When he is not consulting or coaching, Mitch is doing

his best to be successful in his real job as a husband and a father. Mitch is married to Danielle Turner. They have two children, daughter Payton, age 4, and son Easton, 18 months.

Turner, who played for Bearden High School and has coached competitive baseball for 12 years, hopes to continue the tradition of excellence that has been the standard for GCA varsity baseball. The Rams will enjoy having Turner in the dugout again this season.
