Meet Mary Kerr, program facilitator for the Knox County Schools coupon books.

Kerr is the biggest fan the books could ever hope to find.

“They’re my passion,” she says of the coupon books, which students are selling through Sept. 23. “I know how much they help the schools here in Knox County. I believe in what I’m doing.”

Thank a teacher An old bumper sticker said: “If you can read this, thank a teacher.”

That bar has been raised.

Now teachers must feed students of all aptitudes and abilities through a chute for testing.

If scores are high enough, the teachers get to do it again next year. If not, there is no thanks and maybe no job.

Great Schools Partnership has set the second annual “Thank a Teacher Week,” Sept.

30 through Oct. 4. Amazingly, some teachers are saying “no thanks.” They are whispering, though, because their tenure (can’t fire me without cause) has vaporized.

Blueway update Bonnie Holloway and the Hallsdale Powell Utility District are often at odds, but that was not the case at last week’s evening meeting.

Holloway showed pictures of debris blockages on Beaver Creek near Halls Heights and Fountaincrest subdivisions and said they account for the flooding in her backyard as well as water backing up in HPUD manholes.

Emory Road ahead of schedule

By Sandra Clark

Motorists on Emory Road in Powell can expect completion of the new road by August 2014, Duane Manning, assistant regional construction supervisor for the Tennessee Department of Transportation, told the Powell Business and Professional Association on Sept. 10. Construction by the Huntsville-based Potter South East is ahead of schedule.

“This road is much needed,” he said. The project started in March 2012 and will cost about $15.5 million. When finished, it will have two 12-foot driving lanes on either side of a 12-foot center turn lane. The road will have curbs and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides.

The bridge over the railroad is complete, Manning said, and there’s a 15foot difference in elevation between the current Emory Road and the new section. Vehicles will be routed onto a temporary tie to Emory Road while the road elevation is raised, he said.

The intersection of old and new Emory roads will be signalized, as will the intersection with Emory and Brickyard roads.

“Flooding should not be a problem

Traffic signal for Beaver Creek Drive

Duane Manning and the Powell area will be safer,” said Manning.

In response to questions, he said the project does not include a budget for landscaping and there are no plans to replace the trees that were cut behind the DeRoyal Industries plant where Beaver Creek was rechanneled.

He said the current Emory Road will end at a cul-de-sac, and the new Emory Road will become state route 131. The current Emory Road through Powell will become a county road.

Knox County is spending $320,000 for right-of-way acquisition, a turn lane and a traffic signal at West Beaver Creek Drive across from the new Food City on Clinton Highway.

Commissioner R. Larry Smith made the announcement at the Powell Business and Professional Association meeting Sept. 10.

“We will be adding a 10- or 11-foot turn lane on Beaver Creek for right turns onto Clinton Highway,” said Jim Snowden, engineer with Knox County. “We looked at several different alignments, but decided to go with this design.”

TDOT will pave the new Emory Road from Clinton Highway to the Food City entrance in preparation for the store’s grand opening at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept.

25. The Clinton Highway entrance to Food City will be barricaded until the Beaver Creek intersection work is finished, probably in late November, Snowden said.

Michael Grider of Mayor Tim Burchett’s office said $250,000 was appropriated for the project in the current capital plan. Bonds were signed just last week. The additional $70,000 is coming from money left from recently closed-out projects.

Snowden said his department is dealing with owners of Thress Nursery for the right-of-way. “They are working with us. It will be good for business and traffic flow.”

The traffic signals – new Emory, old Emory and Beaver Creek – will be synchronized, Snowden said. “We want as good a progression of traffic as can be.”

Those are the only words to describe the chemistry between the co-stars in the upcoming Powell Playhouse production of “Driving Miss Daisy.”

Molly Durr as Miss Daisy and Frank Denkins as Hoke are already impressive in rehearsals, playing off each other like old friends. David Frey brings his deep bass voice and added southern accent to the role of Boolie.

Zumbathon

Zumbathon Saturday, Sept.

21, noon to 1:30, Washington Pike UMC, 2241 Washington Pike. $10 donation

to boost cancer awareness

By Betsy Pickle People who take part in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Zumbathon this Saturday will know they’ve worked out for a good cause.

“You’re sweating,” says organizer Karla Smith of Zumba, which melds choreographed movements with energetic music. “But it’s fun.”

Smith, a manager at Chesapeake’s, turned to her Zumba instructor, Melinda Wolfe, when she was trying to come up with an idea for a fundraiser.

All of the restaurants in the Copper Cellar family are raising money for the American Cancer Society’s

October campaign, and Smith is the chair at Chesapeake’s.

Wolfe not only is the Zumbathon leader, but she also secured the location, the gym at Washington Pike United Methodist Church, 2241 Washington Pike. The 90-minute event starts at noon.

A $10 donation by cash or check is requested at the door. People who simply want to donate may send checks made out to the American Cancer Society to the attention of Karla Smith at Chesapeake’s, 500 Henley St., Knoxville, TN 37902.

This is Smith’s first year leading the ACS fun-

“Ultimately, it’s not about bragging rights, she said. “It’s all about raising

money for a good cause.

It’s fun, and it is good exercise.”

She likes Zumba “because it’s exercise that doesn’t really seem like it’s exercise, but you’re sweating. If you ever go to one of Melinda’s classes, she really sweats you.”

Besides, she wanted

to try to work around the UT-Florida football game, whose time hadn’t been scheduled when she needed to make her plans.

“I know it’s away, but it’s on TV so I figured a lot of people would want to be somewhere to watch that,” she says. “I hope it won’t interfere, but we had to go ahead and decide something.”

Smith will sell “Making Strides” T-shirts, bracelet and pink-ribbon pins at the event.

Experience great results.

Sometimes a Wildcat and a Blue Devil can drive toward the same goal surgery by Art to remove his prostate gland.

Art used the da Vinci Surgical System at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. The ďŹ rst of its kind in Knoxville, the da Vinci is a state-of-the-art robotic surgery system that allows removal of the prostate with only a few small cuts. This in turn means less blood, less post-operative pain and a shorter hospital stay. “Dr. Art explained everything to me,â€? said Eubanks. “And as usual, he was very detailed.

Along with my Christian faith, prayer and Dr. Art’s conďŹ dence and our informative discussions, I was to the point of not being too worried about the actual surgery. I was more worried about telling my family of my diagnosis and needing surgery.â€?

The robotic surgery went smoothly, and Eubanks was home within two days. “My care at Fort Sanders was very good; I had no problems,� he said. “The nurses were all very friendly. You could ask them questions and they were very attentive. “I had almost no pain. I did not even take any pain medications,� said Eubanks.

Within three months, Eubanks was back to normal, doing sit-ups, lifting weights and playing tennis. When the weather warmed, he was back on his motorcycle as well. “It has now been almost nine months since the surgery and I do everything now that I did before, maybe more because I seem to want to make up for the three months lost during recovery,� said Eubanks. “I attribute my great outcome to my age, my health before the surgery and especially Dr. Art and the da Vinci robot at Fort Sanders. My only issue with Dr. Art is that he is a Kentucky basketball fan,� Eubanks said with a laugh. “I recommend all men begin having prostate cancer screening. I did, and it may have saved my life.�

Richard Eubanks of Knoxville, 50, a diehard Duke basketball fan, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the spring of 2012, after routine screening by urologist Dr. Kevin Art of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

At the time, however, Eubanks didn’t realize that Art was a devoted University of Kentucky fan. “When I saw he had a UK pin on his lapel, I said, ‘I’m not sure this is going to work,’ � said Eubanks with a laugh. “Ever since then, we always talk basketball.�

After the diagnosis of cancer – prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men – the two men set aside any basketball differences to ďŹ nd a slam-dunk treatment.

Since Eubanks was only 49 years old, on the young side for prostate cancer, Art ďŹ rst recommended surgery to remove the gland.

However, since it was at such an early stage and slow growing, Art pointed out that there was no need to rush. “My ďŹ rst instinct was ‘Cancer, get it out, I don’t want to take any chances,’ â€? said Eubanks. “But Dr. Art said there was no rush; it was likely to be slow growing and early. He explained all of my options, but he put no pressure on me to have the surgery. He said the second option would be radiation treatment, and he recommended I get other opinions.â€?

Eubanks did receive a second opinion from a radiologist, who also recommended surgery. “That made me feel reassured,� said Eubanks.

But still, Eubanks decided to wait for a few months before the surgery, to enjoy a summer motorcycle trip to Utah with his father and another trip with his wife to Hawaii. All the while, Eubanks had extra blood tests to check the cancer, which remained unchanged over the summer.

Finally in November 2012, Eubanks had Richard Eubanks with his wife, Joana

Robotic surgery at Fort Sanders Originally developed by the military for use in tele-surgery, robotic surgery has become the gold standard for prostate removal surgery today.

Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center acquired the first robotic da Vinci Surgical System in the Knoxville area in 2004. It has become very popular among physicians with 90 to 95 percent of all prostate surgeries, and many Dr. Kevin Art other abdominal procedures as well, being done by the robot. “The robotic system allows us to perform a less invasive procedure, compared to traditional open surgery,� explained Dr. Kevin Art, a board certified urologist at Fort Sanders. “The robot has replaced open surgery in most cases, although in some patients the robot may not be possible due to prior surgeries.�

Children gather around Karan Dotson at the Norwood Branch Library to enjoy reading time.

Wayne Dake is taken down by Shannon Helton in a training exercise on self defense at Overdrive Krav Maga and Fitness.

‘It won’t happen to me’ “It won’t happen to me.”

Instructors at Overdrive Krav Maga and Fitness hope to educate women that this is an incorrect way of thinking while training them in self-defense – once each month at no charge.

Cindy Taylor

“Don’t ever let us see you walking to your car with your phone in your face,” instructor and co-owner Adrienne Bailey tells students. “Be aware, be confident, stand up tall and look people in the eye. That goes a long way in your favor.”

When beginning a selfdefense class for women, Bailey said the first thing she does is thank them for attending. She said just walking in the door shows that women are serious about defending themselves.

“Half the battle is getting them off their couch and getting them here. We do this for free to encourage women to think about their safety.

We’re still trying to figure out why participation continues to be on the low side.”

According to Bailey, the average attack only lasts about 17 seconds. So along with self-defense, instructors run stress drills to prepare students to respond to an attack by more than one assailant.

Free self-defense classes are offered for women the first Saturday of each month at noon and last one hour. Training includes avoidance, escape, third party situations, handling larger opponents, and dealing with multiple attackers, armed assailants and defending when injured.

All instructors at Overdrive will still tell you that the best defense is to get away if you can. If the time comes and that isn’t possible, they are in business to help their students be prepared.

Overdrive Krav Maga is located at 7631 Old Clinton Hwy. Info: www.overdrivema.com or 362-5562.

It’s coming!

According to Stephen Wigley of Modern Woodmen of the World, IRS penalties are less than a year away if one doesn’t have an Affordable Healthcare plan in place.

Wigley spoke to the Heiskell seniors at their September meeting about services offered by his company and supplied information about the Affordable Healthcare Act. Questions were fired at Wigley faster than a speeding bullet – and he answered every one.

Open Enrollment for Affordable Healthcare plans opens Oct. 1 and runs through March 31. Bottom line: those between ages 18-

64 need to be prepared.

“I know I will be somewhere on Oct. 1 with my laptop ready to start signing folks up,” said Wigley.

He said that any agent fees are paid by the insurance company with which the consumer signs. He also eased many worries by stating that Medicare is already a qualified Affordable Healthcare plan.

The Picky Chick

From its humble beginnings of 17 consigners in less than 1,000-square feet, to a huge room at the Knoxville Expo Center, The Picky Chick consignment sale has been serving frugal shoppers since 2004.

Beth Dishner founded the event, which now runs twice each year and features more than 200 consigners.

The idea started out small as a way to supplement the family income while Beth remained a stay-at-home mom. She asked a few friends, neighbors and family members if they wanted to consign items for a sale – and so it began.

“I have a lot of help from my volunteers, many who have followed me from day one,” said Dishner.

Shoppers can find clothing, toys, games and furniture, to name a few items, at greatly reduced prices.

Becky Swanger, Beth Dishner, Ellie Taylor, Elizabeth Tipton and Lesli Obenschaie get ready fo Stephen Wigley of Modern the onslaught of shoppers at The Picky Chick consignment sale. Photos by Cindy Taylor Woodmen of the World spoke to a full house at the September meeting of the Heiskell seniors.

Many pieces appear like new. This shopper found an entire My Little Pony Village for only $30 – including the ponies.

The fall event for the consignment sale ran Sept.

11-14, with Sept. 11 being a night to focus on charity.

Consigners, volunteers and the invited public got the first shot at great deals. Attendees are asked to pay a minimum of $5 at the door and 100 percent of that amount goes directly to a specific charity for each sale. This year, the chosen charity was A Soldier’s Child Foundation. Info: www.asoldierschild.org.

“Since we started the sale on 9/11 we thought it would be appropriate to choose a charity to honor and support our military. The volunteers here make it so great and I can’t say enough about them.”

Items not returned to consigners after the event are donated to local charities. If you missed this sale, don’t fret. Mark your calendars for the spring sale March 6-8. The 2014 event will mark the 10th anniversary for The Picky Chick consignment sale.

Yes. Those who do not have health insurance are required to sign up.

What about Medicare recipients?

Medicare recipients who are happy with their plans don’t have to make any changes, although they can shop around if they wish (an option available every year).

Becky Harmon, a registered nurse who is Knox County coordinator for the Tennessee Health Care Coalition (a volunteer group that is disseminating information about the ACA) says two significant changes are already in place for Medicare recipients because of ACA: an increasing number of preventive and wellness services, and the shrinking of the “doughnut hole” gap on prescription drug benefits.

“There are many benefits – pap smears, mammograms, flu shots, colonoscopies, etc., that are now available with no co-pay at all,” Harmon said.

“And there’s the shrinking of ‘doughnut hole.’ which will disappear by 2020.

Starting that year, beneficiaries will be responsible for 25 percent of the cost of their drugs, no matter the size of their bill.

We’ve demonstrated support for individual teachers, principals and community schools. We’ve both been jarred by the feedback we’re getting from those who will talk.

There’s a tremendous disconnect.

An example was the new principal of Powell High School, Nathan Langlois, telling the Powell Business and Professional Association last week that he will have failed if he does not add weight to the diploma of his graduates. What does that even mean?

The business leaders in the room would be happy with graduates who can read, write and operate a computer. We want to win a few football games and graduate kids who can move on with their lives without dropping out of school or getting killed on area roads.

This closure will happen over the next 10 years, with 2020 seeing savings of 75 percent of brand named and generic drugs.

“We would get calls at the Office on Aging from people who couldn’t afford their insulin anymore.”

For in-person assistance, watch the media for announcements.

“Organizations like Cherokee Health Systems will be working with their own patients, and the rest of us will be volunteers. The state has not chosen to put any money into assisting, so all the information, education and enrollment in the Volunteer State is being done by volunteers,” Harmon said.

PBPA members have contributed thousands of dollars toward teen driver safety, a program initiated by now-school board member Kim Sepesi Severance.

Langlois left with pledges of support for at least seven iPads for his new lab. Powell residents vote every day by sending their kids and grandkids to public schools.

Many who can afford to send their young’uns to private schools are supporting PHS. It must have come as a shock to hear their principal say the diplomas lack “weight.”

I’ve yet to hear a reasonable explanation for why principal Ken Dunlap was demoted to assistant principal at West High School.

Last year Powell was the only county high school designated a Reward School by the state.

If parents and business leaders are happy with the outcome, what’s driving the push for reform of public schools that are working?

Staples responds Rick Staples, candidate for city council from District 4, has responded to last week’s story about Nick Della Volpe’s response to the Fraternal Order of Police.

Yes, Staples is Rick Staples a member of FOP. Yes, he announced his candidacy at the FOP meeting. But he says his candidacy is about more than support for the police and deputies’ pension.

“My vision is of Knoxville becoming an even better place to live. An important part of achieving this vision is working to build strong and safe neighborhoods. …

Ensuring the people who protect us every day can retire in dignity sends a clear message that residents care about public safety.

“A competitive pension plan is essential to attract and retain the best and brightest police, fire, and city workers to protect and enhance our neighborhoods. … When we give them retirement peace of mind, we also keep our neighborhoods safe.”

Hailing the hobo

Dormitory life of yesteryear

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

D

uring a conversation with a young couple in the lobby of the Clarence Brown Theatre several months ago, we finally got around to talking about dormitory living.

It was apparent that they lived in the same dorm, and when I acquired about co-ed dormitory living they said, “Oh yes, we live in the same dorm.” My query also produced a quizzical look on their faces that said, “What’s so strange about that?”

I never tried to explain how it was 50 years ago, but our conversation did bring back some fond memories.

My wife and I first met at the university some 53 years ago, when women and men lived in separate dorms.

And it was not often that a man was allowed to enter a women’s dorm beyond the sitting area, where he would pick up his date.

Also vivid in my memory are house mothers. These were usually elderly women whose job was to ensure that their students were in the dorm before curfew. They actually treated their students as if they were their own children. When it was near curfew time, they often positioned themselves near the front door to see who got in and who got locked out.

I can remember running up the sidewalk with my date trying to beat the 11 o’clock curfew, and the house mother standing behind the glass door smiling and locking it just as I reached for the door knob.

Of course, this didn’t go over very well with my date because it meant she was confined to campus for two weeks. They called it “being campused.” One trick I learned was to set my watch back five minutes and try to show it to her through the glass door. This worked for a while, but then she caught on to me.

During breaks between quarters, I often took my date home, which was some 50 miles away. I also helped her carry her suitcase down the stairs while the house mother ran ahead of us in the corridor hollering “man in the hall, man in the hall.”

At that point you could hear the doors creak open slightly to allow the girls to get a look at the intruder, and there were often wolf whistles.

There was, however, some interaction between the men’s dorm and the women’s dorm, and one such interaction was “panty raids.”

This fad, like phone booth stuffing and goldfish swallowing, actually began at the University of Michigan and reached its zenith as one might expect, at the University of California, where 3,000 students rushed a women’s dorm to shuffle through their rooms collecting panties and other undergarments.

This fad never reached that proportion at UT, but such raids did take place from time to time. Often the girls would write their names and phone numbers in their panties and drop them out the windows to the boys. There would then be a mad scramble to catch them. For the lucky boy, this usually resulted in a blind date with the lingerie’s owner.

After we were married, we gave up dormitory life and moved into a private apartment near campus.

The university did offer married student housing, which we used some years later when my wife was in graduate school. We rented a university married couple apartment on Kingston Pike that overlooked the Cumberland Avenue strip. It was a highrise building and we were near the top floor.

For the most part, it was a good experience since it put us in contact with other married couples, some of whom have become lifelong friends. There was, however, one inconvenience. There were only two elevators, and one was usually tied up with someone moving in or out. This left only one elevator for regular use, and when you

lived near the top floor, the wait could often be as long as 10 minutes.

Looking back, the socalled “sexual revolution” that began with panty raids has resulted in freedoms that would have been beyond the comprehension of students 50 years ago. And I doubt that the young couple we were talking with in the Clarence Brown Theatre lobby would have believed that just getting into the reception area of a girl’s dorm to pick up your date was done under strict supervision and scrutiny. And I also doubt that many of today’s students have ever heard of house mothers, curfews or being “campused.”

The French classic author, Francois de la Rochefoucauld, once said, “The only thing constant in life is change.”

Coming to grips with that reality makes one realize that change is inevitable and is not all bad. It would, indeed, be a boring world if things never changed, and that includes changes in dormitory life during the past 50 years.

One can only imagine what the next 50 years will bring. But one thing you can count on: It will not be boring.

smoke from the engine’s smokestack. I’d dream about being an engineer. Or a brakeman. Or, hell I’ll say it, a hobo.

It got worse the first time I heard Jimmie Rodgers.

Somebody – I think it was one of my grandfathers – had some Rodgers hobo songs on 78s. Later, I heard Merle Haggard, and then Dolly, Emmylou and Linda, sing Jimmie’s “Hobo’s Meditation.”

Tonight as I lay on the boxcar, just waiting for a train to pass by; What will become of the hobo whenever his time comes to die?

At Clear Springs Baptist Church, I heard “Life’s Railway to Heaven” and figured that’s where the hobo was ultimately headed. It’s the way I want to go, I’ll tell you for sure.

The itch endures. If I could, I’d take off tomorrow and ride every line that

Amtrak serves. Oh, I’d pay for a ticket, of course, which is why this will remain a dream, at least for now.

But I admire the hobo of yesteryear. It’s easy, you see, for it to seem romantic from the comfort of one’s easy chair.

I love the television series “The Fugitive.” I always perked up when David Janssen’s Dr. Richard Kimble would hop a freight. In a couple of episodes at least, such an action comes back to haunt the good doctor.

As it is, I sit here, dreaming my dreams, living vicariously through shows and songs, lamenting the life of the hobo.

There’s a Master up yonder in Heaven; got a place that we might call our home.

Will we have to work for a living? Or can we continue to roam?

You’ve heard our opinion, what’s yours?

I

don’t know whether it is because of, or in spite of, the fact I’ve lived in the same town my whole life, but I have a yearning, burning urge to wander.

The good news is that I have seen 47 of the 50 United States, some of them on what used to be called the blue highways.

But every now and then, usually on Friday nights when I am driving east on I-640 near Broadway, I will see a freight train. And wish I could hop aboard just like in the movies, a modernday Jimmie Rodgers, riding the rails.

I’ve always loved trains.

Most boys do, for whatever reason. I first entered Manhattan by rail (10 days before 9/11). I would travel that way exclusively if I could.

But those days are long, long gone, unless I move to the Northeast. Even then, it will never be the same.

It all started when I was 3 or 4. My dad bought me a model train set of the Chattanooga Choo Choo. It even came with some kind of liquid that would produce

No point in going back to the beginning of time. The two schools had a few early connections and played an occasional game but for this Marvin tale, let’s start with 1963.

Doug Dickey was first Once upon a time, this choice. match of salty words and The switch worked for hard hits was really big. most of six seasons, un-

til Florida wanted Dickey back in Gainesville. That idea hatched in late summer 1969. What followed were denials, lies and damn lies. The Gator Bowl, bringing together Tennessee and Florida, was the depths of awkwardness. There remains some question as to where Dickey’s heart was that day.

A funny thing happened the next September. Dickey had to bring his new team to Neyland Stadium to play the guys he left behind. The Vols annihilated the Gators.

In no other so-called rivalry has there been so many sticking points.

Consider 1977: the Gators scored with 46 seconds left to build a 10-point lead. The Vols responded with a fumble. Game over, right?

The Gators gained easy ground. With three seconds remaining, they surprisingly called time out. More surprisingly, quarterback Terry LeCount threw what looked like a TD pass to Wes Chandler. Officials interceded and said out of bounds.

Trying to pile on points and further embarrass beaten visitors caused an explosion. All heck broke loose. There was a genuine brawl at midfield.

Said John Majors: “Our time will come.”

It took a while.

After growing up in Johnson City, Steve Spurrier went off to be a Gator great, returned as coach and added other insults to injury. He scored far more points than necessary and made big jokes at Tennes-

There is a crack in everything.

That’s how the light gets in.

(Leonard Cohen)

In my first job after college, my boss was a man whose most famous quote was, “Don’t bring me problems! Bring me solutions!”

In his discussions (argu-

ments? banter?) with the Pharisees, Jesus was the consummate debater.

He discussed and sparred with them, taught them and led them into traps designed

see’s expense.

Florida was the beneficiary of the infamous fax of the Tennessee playbook.

Florida was the beneficiary of the Jabar Gaffney noncatch. Florida did miss a field goal in 1998.

Phillip Fulmer had serious difficulty with the Gators. The hall-of-fame coach lost 12 of 17. Peyton Manning was in the eye of that storm. He did not beat Florida. Some setbacks were not all his fault.

Consider 1995: The Gators, trailing 30-14, scored 48 consecutive points to turn an exciting game into a 62–37 romp. Danny Wuerffel threw for six touchdowns and won the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Consider 1996: The Gators scored five touchdowns

in the first 25 minutes.

Later, Tim Tebow inflicted hurt on the Vols but Eric Berry got him for a big one, a pick and 96-yard interception return. Alas, Florida won, 59-20.

Lane Kiffin was a lot of help. He popped off, accusing Urban Meyer of cheating. Next he said he was going to sing “Rocky Top” all night long after his Vols beat the Gators. I suppose you recall how that turned out.

Nothing happened during Derek Dooley’s three years but the losses were not runaways.

Tennessee-Florida needs serious rejuvenation. When you are talking to Butch, ask him to begin to start to turn this thing around.

understandings, to learn, we can begin to find answers to our questions.

That is when we grow and become.

I remember when my daughter Jordan came home from college for her very first fall break. She described her experience in classes as “honing my mind,” and she accompanied that statement with a movement of her head as if she was sharpening a knife on a whetstone. She was discovering the “crack in everything” and the light was pouring in.

There are some folks who are afraid to ask questions, particularly about matters of faith, about the Bible.

They think it is impertinent, or sacrilegious.

I believe that the Bible is sturdy enough to stand up to our questions, and I believe that it contains the answers we need to find our way to God. It is a compass that points us in the right direction. It is a whetstone that we can hone our souls on.

Our questions are “the crack in everything,” the opening that lets the light in.

Ask your questions. Ask them over and over, if need be. Ask them of different people. Ask them of God. Keep on asking, until you find answers, until the light gets in.

‘Mr. Anthony’ steps out on field named for father a

By Betty Bean Anthony Anderson knows he’s being watched.

And that’s OK. It’s part of his job as the Emerald Youth Foundation’s elementary and middle school Just Lead coordinator at Mount Zion Baptist Church, one of 21 churches and faith-based organizations in the Just Lead Network. Anthony’s been there since January, and he started by recruiting kids from Sarah Moore Greene and Green Elementary Schools as well as Vine and Holston Middle Schools to attend the after-school program.

Once he gets them there, it’s his job to interact with some 50 children and teens, many of whom don’t have a father figure in their lives.

It’s also part of his job as an assistant football coach at Austin-East, where

young,

inexperienced Roadrunner team started the year with three losses and is looking for better days to come.

It was part of his Anderson life as a high-profile student athlete at A-E and as a football player at the University of Tennessee.

And most fundamentally, it is part of the legacy passed down to him from his family, where he learned the importance of role models at an early age.

“I see some of these kids who don’t have the father figure I have, or the mother I have, or the grandmother or the uncles or the world’s coolest aunt, and I know

God has put me in this position to be someone they can talk to. This is a huge opportunity that Emerald Youth Foundation’s given me to be back in East Knoxville to try to mold and maintain what’s left of the community.”

He’s “Mr.” Anthony to the kids, and at the ripe old age of 24, he tries to pass along the lessons he has learned.

“We make sure they do their homework, and go into the Bible with them.

We have life conversations to see how they’re thinking.

They like talking to Mr. Anthony, they say I’m young, but yet they say I’m old at the same time, because I’ve known some of them since I worked at the city rec center when they were little kids.

“We had Orange and White Day the week of the first game, and I brought my

jersey and helmet and stuff.

It shocked them. I played from 2007-11, and they say, ‘We were in elementary school!’ They tell me they’re faster than me. They can tackle me. They’re stronger than me. I explain you’ve got to work hard and set goals. If you find something you want to do, write it down. I write my goals and have them in my Bible.

Family Anthony is the son of Jean and Sam Anderson.

His mother is a music teacher at Ritta Elementary School and his father was the first African-American to chair the Knox County school board. Before that, he was a successful head football coach and athletic director at Austin-East, a

position he left when he was tapped by former Mayor Victor Ashe to work for the city as director of Parks and Recreation.

“My freshman year in high school, the first thing anybody asked was ‘What’s it like to play on that field named after your father?’ I’d pull out my ID, where it says ‘Samuel Anthony Anderson,’ and I’d say, ‘I won’t know until I score my first touchdown on my dad’s field.’

When I did, the announcer said ‘Touchdown Anthony Anderson on Sam Anderson Field!’ And I scored not just one, but three.”

He says it felt pretty good.

Anthony has another close relative – his twin sister Jenae, a Georgia Tech graduate who was a member of track team there, and is now a law student at Florida A&M University.

Anthony’s years at UT were turbulent. He was recruited by Philip Fulmer

and played under Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley. He has fond memories of Kiffin’s year here, and, except for the way he left, doesn’t hold his bolting for the University of Southern California against him.

Anthony, who gladly claims the title Vol For Life, doesn’t say much about Dooley, except that he “liked Kiffin 10 times better.” But he has high hopes for Butch Jones, whom he credits with restoring faith among players and alumni.

“Coach Jones makes you feel at home, and the players trust that he means what he says.”

Which brings Anthony back around to his own upbringing: “People always say I smile a lot. That’s because I was raised by people who gave me opportunities, and without those opportunities, I wouldn’t be the person I am.”

Calling (and helping) KARM

By Cindy Taylor Once a yard sale is over, the job of packing and moving what’s left can be overwhelming. Not to the United Methodist Women (UMW) at Faith UMC. They just call the Knox Area Rescue Ministries and anything not sold is picked up to go to another worthy ministry.

Twice each year members of the UMW hold a yard sale to raise money for

specific church ministries.

The sale will fund flowers for funerals and purchase The Upper Room pamphlets. But money also goes to help people directly.

“With these funds we can provide several meals to people at Wesley House,” said UMC member and UMW president Lynn Blair.

Wesley House Foundation caters to inner-city residents and is sponsored

by UMW.

Afterschool care and tutoring is provided and seniors frequent the Wesley House facility during the day for activities and lunch.

Necessities are often provided to those in need.

Sales at Faith UMC are held in the spring and fall with items donated entirely by church members who also work the sale.

KARM workers trucked off some great leftover items for future use.

‘Driving Miss Daisy’ at Powell Playhouse

By Cindy Taylor Unbelievably cute.

Those are the only words to describe the chemistry between the co-stars in the upcoming Powell Playhouse production of “Driving Miss Daisy.”

Molly Durr as Miss Daisy and Frank Denkins as Hoke are already impressive in rehearsals, playing off each other like old friends. David Frey brings his deep bass voice and added Southern accent to the role of Boolie.

Durr is a seasoned actor, a Powell High School graduate and former English and drama student of the play’s director, Nita Buell-Black.

“I love the theater and I love this play,” said Durr.

On Saturday, Birchwood Kennels in Powell celebrated its 30th anniversary with a party and scholarship fundraiser for UT Veterinary School.

Kennel manager David Boone said, “It’s awesome to see the Sheriff’s Office take part in this, and B97.5 donated their time – it’s great to have them here.”

Owner Rob Satoloe was thrilled to have raffle prizes donated by Lowe’s, Walmart, Knoxville Catering and the UT Athletic Department.

Sunday brought the annual Doggie Dip, benefiting Young-Williams Animal Center, at Inskip Pool. The dogs were kicking up their heels, splashing, retrieving and enjoying the cool water.

Pool manager Randy Love had scheduled the event during Labor Day weekend in years past, but delayed it a week this year and was thrilled with the turnout.

“It will be a ‘Sunday after Labor Day’ event from here on out,” he said.

No doubt many tired pooches slept soundly in their doggie beds after so much fun!

Don Royer of Karns has been coming to Birchwood since Goldendoodle Bailey was a young pup.

Crazy over coupon books Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

By Betsy Pickle

Judging by recent Facebook posts, there are plenty of parents of Knox County schoolchildren who are not excited about the annual campaign to sell the school system’s coupon books. But there’s one woman who greets the selling season with as much enthusiasm as a Vol fan on the first game day of fall.

Meet Mary Kerr, program facilitator for the Knox County Schools coupon books.

Kerr is the biggest fan the books could ever hope to find.

“They’re my passion,” she says of the coupon books, which students are selling through Sept.

23. “I know how much they help the schools here in Knox County. I believe in what I’m doing.”

Kerr’s talent may not lie in the classroom, but her services have been invaluable to the children of Knox County. Last year’s sales raised almost $1.4 million for the schools.

Kerr has been with the program since the beginning, 25 years ago.

Actually, in the first year, she was still working with the Title I program.

“They had some glitches in that first year, and they asked me to help them, and I’ve been helping them ever since,” she says, sitting in a large room at the Knox County Central building that’s packed with boxes of coupon books and incentive items for the kids.

Kerr and her boss, Scott Bacon, supervisor of business partnerships for KCS, both came at the couponbook program obliquely. In 1989, Bacon was with Roddy Coca-Cola Bottling Co., the presenting sponsor.

“New Coke drove me over here,” he jokes.

Over its 25 years, the book has gone through several name changes.

It’s now known as The Original Knox County Schools Coupon Book.

The program started when Earl Hoffmeister was superintendent. Kerr says he got the idea from the superintendent of Hamilton County Schools.

“Hamilton County Schools has done it one year longer than we have,” she says.

After working with outside producers for four years, Bacon and Kerr decided to handle the books in-house in the fifth year.

The first four years, the schools kept $6.50 from each book, says Kerr.

“Now they’re getting $8 of that $10.”

The 1989 coup pon book coupon is tiny compa red to the compared current one.

Another 70 cents pe per book redistributeed among is redistributed h l i llower-i schools in lower-income communities and 13 cent communities, cents goes to school libraries.

While Kerr calls Bacon the “front man,” Bacon says Kerr does most of the work of enlisting merchants.

“After 25 years, it pretty much sells itself,” Kerr says.

It’s easy to see how Kerr’s warm personality would endear her to business owners and managers. She seems never to have met a stranger.

“It’s all about relationships. I have a relationship with just about every business in the book.”

Kerr was born in Coffeyville, Kan., while her father was serving in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, but as soon as she and her mother were released from the hospital, they came home to Knoxville.

She graduated from Central High School in 1963.

After working at what’s now JCPenney and going to UT at night for a couple of years, she got a job in accounts payable for Knox County Schools. Superintendent Mildred Doyle insisted that she keep working after she had her first child, and she put Kerr to work at home logging support data for Title I. Her duties expanded after she returned to work full-time.

In addition to the coupon books, she also is involved in Partners in Education, Dine Out for Education, Principal for a Day, Teacher of the Year, the Teacher Supply Depot and Career Day at the Knoxville Expo Center. But the coupon books are her baby.

“The beautiful thing about this program is that each school decides how they want to spend their money.

“It’s a win-win-win. It’s a win for the merchants because they get extra traffic in their stores. It’s a win for the customer because they save money. And it’s a great, huge win for

New faces at Powell High

By Cindy Taylor

Forrest Waldrop reads to kindergarten students at Pleasant Ridge Elementary. Waldrop, 92, lives in the condos behind the school and visits four days a week to water the flowers and read books to students in the pre-K and kindergarten classes.

“I get a lot of satisfaction coming over and helping the students,” he said. Waldrop was a chemical engineer at Y-12 and has lived in the area for 15 years. Waldrop may get satisfaction from reading to students, but you can bet the students get a lot out of his weekly visits. Photos by Ruth White

Pleasant Ridge kindergarten teacher Kara Israel and Kynleigh White listen as Forrest Waldrop reads a story to students in Israel’s classroom.

Powell High School has several new staff members this year.

Three of those are Kristi Jeffers, Tobi Kilgore and Jason Grove.

Jeffers graduated last May from ETSU. She is teaching social studies and this is her first fulltime school position. Jeffers grew up in Scott C o u n t y Jeffers but really wanted to teach in Powell.

Jason Grove is the new phys-ed and wellness teacher and assistant football coach. He has been teaching for three years and moved from being a traveling teacher Grove with Knox County Schools and a coach

at Farragut High to teach and coach at Powell.

Cancer survivor ‘Ambassadors’

By Shana Raley-Lusk A group of local gentlemen with a common goal recently came together to share their passion with the Knoxville community. Known as the Proton Ambassadors, these men are all prostate cancer survivors. However, cancer survival is not their only commonality. When faced with the devastating diagnosis of cancer, each of these men chose the innovative treatment option of proton therapy.

Now cancer free, they are all more than ready to share their proton therapy experiences with the world in a special television commercial spot for Provision.

Holloway said Heath Haun, Knox County construction inspector supervisor, had promised to start work on Wednesday to remove the blockages. He found 41 places to clean in a 5-1/2 mile stretch of Beaver Creek and five were full blockages. Three are behind Fountaincrest, she said.

Contacted later, Haun said the debris clearing is scheduled for this week. It is permitted because Beaver Creek has been designated a blueway, a state waterway where individuals can ca-
