Food City opens

Miracle Maker

Ernie Roberts retired at the end of spring semester 2009 after 30 years of teaching – mostly math – in the Knoxville and Knox County school systems.

That fall, he was asked to return to Bearden High School, where he’d taught since 1984, to fill in for a teacher on maternity leave.

He hasn’t had a free semester since then.

Faith is a verb Rachel Kirkpatrick believes the phrase “faith is a verb” to be true with all of her heart.

If a teacher says it’s so, it must be true.

Kirkpatrick teaches Advanced Placement and College Prep U.S. History at Powell High School. She also teaches a leadership class and film studies and sponsors the Film Club.

The big news is that Kirkpatrick has had her first book published.

The rain n didn’t hinder the turnout at the Powell Food City opening Sept. 25. A line began forming at 7:30 a.m.

The Karns High School ROTC raised a large American flag as the Crown College Trio sang “The Star Spangled Banner.” A prayer was offered by employee Howard Smith and Food City senior vice president/chief operating officer Jesse Lewis led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. Lewis welcomed everyone before handing the building keys to store manager Terri Gilbert.

The “Big Cart” even showed up for the big day.

“We’re not offering anything special today for the first ones through the door,” said Gilbert.

“Those who are waiting just want to be in here.”

Specials were offered throughout the week. The first 100 customers each day at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. through Oct. 5 will receive a free product.

On Friday, Oct. 4, the store will host the UT pep rally from 3-6 p.m., featuring free events and drawings for football tickets, gift cards and more.

Big game in town “Big game in town,” Marvin West writes. “Chance for a sizable upset. Could be a defining moment in the coaching career of Lyle Allen “Butch” Jones Jr. “I suppose that’s a reach.

The odds are seriously against it. Georgia has a sizable edge in speed, at quarterback, running back and in overall talent.”

Vol wins mean business dollars

Yet another reason to pull for Butch

By Betty Bean

He didn’t realize it then, but Crowne Plaza general manager Ken Knight says he came to Knoxville during the golden years of University of Tennessee football – years when fans booked their hotel reservations the day the next season’s football schedule was released. Home game weekends sold out months in advance.

“My wife, Tammy, and I moved here in ’93 – during the best decade in the history of Tennessee football. We got spoiled,” he said.

The most recent report on the economic impact of UT sports on the local economy released by the University of Tennessee Center for Business and Economic Research

was issued in January 2013 and surveyed data from the academic year 2011’12. It began with happy talk about fans traveling to Knoxville from all over the country to see the Volunteers play. Then it Knight conceded that attendance for home football games has declined: “Comparing the last two sevenhome-game seasons (2008-09 and 2010-11), attendance dropped by nearly 12,000 (roughly 1,660 per game). A drop of almost 37,000 in attendance occurred in the last two eight-home-game seasons (2009-10 and 2011-12). This drop is equivalent to a reduction

in attendance of just over 4,500 per game.”

Does a decline in numbers correspond to a lack of enthusiasm for spending money?

Absolutely, said a veteran employee of a West Knox establishment where Tennessee fans gather to catch away games on TV. “It’s been devastating. I’ve been talking about this all season. The crowds that come in to watch the games have been much smaller.

And when we’re losing, they quit drinking. I’ll ask, ‘You want to order anything to eat?’ They say, ‘No,’ and just sull up. People don’t feel like spending money on a losing team. Used to be, TV games had a big impact. Restaurants were like battle stations.

“Now, it just ain’t the same, and a lot of times, you don’t know whether

or not it’s even going to be on TV, when you’ve got a crappy team.

And when you think about sales tax revenue, you realize that it hits everybody in this town in the wallet, whether they know it or not.”

Out in South Knox, Ye Olde Steakhouse co-owner Cheryl Wilson doesn’t need an academic survey to conclude that football season’s not what it used to be, and it’s not solely because of the Henley Bridge closing.

“We used to have some really rowdy crowds. It was ‘Roll Tide’ and ‘Go Vols’ all weekend. We’d have a few people get into fights. But it’s been awhile. We used to do 800900 (customers) a night. Now if we get 500-600 we’re doing good.”

All over town, it’s pretty much the same. As go the Vols, so goes business. And winning teams equal busy cash registers.

“Beating Alabama in the old days was like Black Friday,” said Knoxville Chamber president Mike Edwards. “It’s been awhile.”

Knoxville man ďŹ nds the right answer at Fort Sanders Regional Feeling tired and out of breath, Joe Mackin of Knoxville, 69, mentioned those symptoms to his endocrinologist during a routine visit in July for his Type 2 diabetes. “Now that I’m looking back on it, you see things much clearer. If you’ve got Type 2 diabetes, you’ve got to pay attention because it can lead to heart problems,â€?

Mackin said.

The doctor talked him into having a stress test on his heart, which measures blood ow to the heart muscle at rest and during exercise. “I unked it,â€? said Mackin. “Then they did an angiogram in cardiologist Dr. (George M.) Krisle’s ofďŹ ce, to look inside my veins. I unked that, too. I was 100 percent clogged on my main artery, and the other two were 75 to 80 percent blocked.â€?

After that, the best course of action was coronary bypass surgery, also called Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). During this surgery, a healthy piece of vein is taken from the leg or other area of the body and is grafted onto the blocked coronary artery to “bypass� the blockage.

CABG requires cutting through the chest wall. It’s major surgery and requires weeks of recovery time.

Knowing that, Mackin struck a bargain with his doctors. “Well I had already planned to go to my sis-

Sara Gray Mackin, Joe Mackin and their 13 year old bulldog, CB

ter’s wedding in Chicago,� he said. “I told them, ‘Look, I’ve made it this far. I’d like to go to Mackinac Island for the wedding.’ “But I was pretty careful.

I got a packet of nitroglyc-

erin for the trip,� he said.

Nitroglycerin dilates blood vessels and is used in emergencies to improve blood ow to the heart.

Off he went, enjoying the wedding in Michigan. When

he got back, Mackin headed straight for Fort Sanders and heart surgery on July 25 with his cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville.

The surgery went smoothly, even though

Mackin had a slight setback after surgery. “There was a nurse named Michelle on my oor, and she picked up before anybody else that I had water in my lungs because of

her acute ears and stethoscope,� he said. “She was able to correct it, she was outstanding. It might have turned into early stage pneumonia, but they treated it very quickly.�

Mackin was in the hospital ďŹ ve days. After returning home, he started heart rehabilitation sessions at Fort Sanders, which he continues today. “It’s a great program because they really know what they’re doing. I’m doing a very responsible threepronged attack of exercise, better diet and lower stress,â€? said Mackin.

Plus, he said he is taking care of his diabetes more closely. “Before, I knew a lot of information but I didn’t pay attention to it. I didn’t watch my diabetes closely enough,� he said.

Mackin said he would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone who needs cardiac care. “It was a top-notch experience, triple A,� he said. “From the doctor all the way down to the people who took care of the room and cleaned it up, everybody was tremendous. “They really seem to have a commitment to total care, starting with surgery and continuing with the postsurgery care. A lot of times you don’t know what you’re getting into until you get there,� said Mackin. “I just feel very fortunate I got the right people.�

Fort Sanders Cardiac Surgery earns 3-Star Award For the second time in a row, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center earned a 3-Star Award from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

For the most recent analysis of national data from January 2012 through December 2012, Fort Sanders’ performance was again in the highest quality tier. This

national designation means that Fort Sanders is among the top 10 percent of cardiac surgery centers in the United States, based on a complex set of measurements considering severity of illness, complications from surgery, hospital stay and overall outcomes afterward. “In Washington, they consider this the gold standard for looking at how well cardiac surgery programs do,� said cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville. “It’s great that we got this, but it really speaks to the dedication of the

whole heart team.�

Harville explained that it takes dozens of staff members, from surgeons and nurses to technicians and staff, to care for each patient. “It’s just all of us, taking care of patients,� Harville said. “We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do, and minimize the likelihood of problems occurring.�

The award focused on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, commonly called “cabbage.� It is a surgical procedure in which arteries or veins from other parts

“We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do.� – Dr. Lacy Harville of the body are grafted onto heart arteries to bypass blockages.

It is a very detailed surgery, and many things can go wrong, said Harville. “If you do enough high risk surgery, which heart surgery is, you’re not always going to have a

great outcome,� he said. “So you want someone with a great batting average, and Fort Sanders is really good at all positions.� “You have to look at more than just numbers, but patients are in very good hands at Fort Sanders.�

Bits N’ Pieces

Bits N’ Pieces Quilt Guild welcomed quilt artist Susan Lenz as guest speaker at its September meeting.

Lenz brought more than 20 of her works of art featuring the technique of grave rubbings on fabric.

Lenz says her love of fiber and stitch brought her to art quilts.

“I didn’t come to this with a traditional background,”

Cindy Taylor Bits N’ Pieces Quilt Guild members Elizabeth Tavner, Pat Melcher and Cyndi Herrmann admire the work of quilt artist and guest speaker Susan Lenz.

Speaker and Registrar Martha Cummings she said. “I discovered art quilts in 2008 through cemeteries and the words on tombstones.”

Lenz said walking through a cemetery will impact you with a sense of history. She wanted to stitch and create items with lasting impressions. Once Lenz has her quilt background she uses stitching and repurposed items to complete a fabulous work of art.

“This is a great medium for self-expression for me. It gives a great sense of memory and legacy.”

Lenz’s work has been accepted in national shows and magazines. Her largest work is a collection of vintage crochet bought at auction and stitched into a 10 x 18 canopy. She will be teaching a class on grave rubbings at Arrowmont School in Gatlinburg next spring during legacy week.

Bits N’ Pieces Quilt Guild meets at 1 p.m. each fourth Wednesday at the Norris Community Center. Guest speaker for October will be author and quilter Merikay Waldvogel. Waldvogel is considered a key player in the late 20th century quilt history revival. Info: Cyndi

Your kid at school Let’s take a different approach this week. Think about your kid or a kid you know. Does their experience with Knox County Schools prepare them for college or a job?

Sandra Clark

If so, you should thank a teacher. If not, you should get behind Jim McIntyre and his band of bean-counters to reform Knox County Schools.

There’s not much middle ground.

We asked how many hours a kid spends being tested. We got back a testing schedule called an assessment landscape. It showed no child spending more than 15 hours (two days per year) in tests, many of them state- or federally-mandated.

Yet a teacher in the field disputes the chart. (Note: the charts plus the KCS response to six questions from last week’s column are reprinted in full on our website at www.

ShopperNewsNow.com.)

The teacher said only an administrator could say the CBM is 3-5 minutes and proceeded to reveal a process that includes a trip to the gym and individual tests out in the hall. (We’ve got her response on the website, too.)

“When you look at this assessment chart Knox County has created, at first glance you think, ‘Oh, that’s not much.’ But when you look at what a child has to do in one 9-week period, you realize why teachers and children feel like all they ever do is test.

“An even bigger issue is whether or not parents understand all of this and are aware that their child is taking all of these tests, since a lot of the time the only tests that they know about are the weekly tests in math, reading, etc.”

While our questions to the superintendent were specific, a broader concern is to what extent does the community support student regimentation and testing?

End-of-course tests are expected, but we’ve gone overboard.

We’re told that the Common Core state standards will bring teaching that’s

richer, more in-depth. But it seems we will be implementing this plan while testing on the old TCAP model. What’s up with that?

A teacher called Friday to say that she received a “conference of concern” while her grade-level colleagues got good evaluations.

“We were asked to teach to the Common Core (as a pilot last year), and I did.

They didn’t. Instead, they pounded 20-30 multiple choice questions to their students every day.

“On TCAP tests, their students scored out the top, and the teachers are walking home with a bonus.

“My kids found six ways the multiple choice questions could be right or wrong. They thought themselves into a hole and took me with them.”

Bean-counting doesn’t work well, even in business, and much less in education where little tykes need their noses wiped while they’re learning the ABCs. The Chamber of Commerce has culpability. It created the “data warehouse” and made testing its top priority for Knox County Schools.

Teachers have a dilemma. They are evaluated on two instructional methods (rich and richer?) while subjected to multiple unannounced evaluations.

But it’s really about the kids. Your kids.

A teacher said she often shuts down a kid who is trying to tell her a story in order to hop to the next item on her daily plan. She would be in serious trouble if an evaluator dropped in to find her “off-task.”

Off-task. That used to be called teaching.

According to Brewer Ingram Fuller Architects, the Eugenia Williams house reflects a number of different architectural styles. The banister on the front staircase, marble mantels and ornate molding are Greek revival.

Eugenia Williams commissioned her childhood friend, John Fanz Staub, to design her home in 1940. The ornamental fretwork over the front door continues around the house.

Williams estate needs solution

Three months ago, I visited the historic Eugenia Williams home at 4848 Lyons View Pike which is owned by the University of Tennessee. It is one of only two houses in Knoxville designed by famed architect John Fanz Staub. The other is Hopecote on Melrose Avenue, which is a guest house for special UT visitors. It is well-maintained.

Staub, raised in Knoxville, spent most of his years in Houston where he designed the house built by oil heir Ima Hogg which later became the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

On Sept. 20, I made a return visit to see what changes had occurred since late June. I met with Terry Ledford, Gina Stafford and Justin Dothard. Clearly, UT maintenance crews had worked hard this summer to remove the almost junglelike vegetation encircling the carriage house behind the main house (not visible from Lyons View Pike) as well as the driveway leading Meetings ahead to it.

apparently dead.

All this occurred during three unfortunate presidencies which ended under unhappy and/or unpleasant circumstances.

Today, Joe DiPietro is nearing the end of his third year as president. He is innocent in the decision to acquire the house and failed attempts to deal with it. In fact, he has the opportunity to turn what has become a lemon for UT into lemonade by bringing a solution to a story which is not going away. DiPietro, along with the UT board, needs to deal with this issue. He has a reputation of being a problem solver.

Knox Heritage and its able attorney, Tom McAdams, have outlined a legal course of action to allow a sale of the house with restrictions as to its use subject to court approval.

Restrictions could prevent the 24 acres from becoming a new subdivision or the house being demolished.

State government presents a complicated process for sale of property, but there are people in Nashville who know the property well. Gov. Bill Haslam drove by it every day when he was mayor to get to work at the City County Building, and state Commissioner of Finance Larry Martin also knows the property. They would work to make a reasonable plan for the house succeed.

Today, UT clearly has no plan (or at least not one which UT officials will discuss on the record). DiPietro

has the chance to move this unending problem into a solution. Its location on one of the most scenic and affluent streets in Knoxville guarantees thousands of motorists see it daily and UT does not come off well. It is time for UT to turn its creative thinking onto this issue. The stars could be aligned to secure a win solution for the University if its leadership wants it to happen.

■ Louise Zirkle, longtime Republican activist, turns 94 years young today. She still lives in Sequoyah Hills where she moved 55 years ago with her husband, George, and family. She still follows politics. For over 40 years she worked the polling site at Sequoyah Hills Elementary School. She chaired the GOP precinct committee there for some 30 years, following attorney Richard Stair Sr. She

never missed a countywide GOP convention. She was a delegate for Richard Nixon to the GOP national convention in Miami in 1968.

Zirkle now lives adjacent to Talahi Park where she advocates its revival as a park.

A longtime friend of former council member Jean Teague, she allowed her name in the early 1980s to be written in as a council candidate for the West Knoxville district Teague represented in order to prevent some Teague opponents from fielding a last-minute rival thru the write-in process. Zirkle won the write-in votes and then withdrew as a candidate.

Candoro Rocks: y’all come

By Betsy Pickle It’s a little bit country, a little bit rock ’n’ roll and a whole lot of marble.

Candoro Rocks will bring it all together this weekend with a celebration of the marMajors ble sculptures of the late Albert Milani and a tribute to Hank Williams.

A reception 5-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, at Candoro Marble, 681 Maryville Pike, will showcase the art exhibit featuring Milani sculptures and other marbles. John Majors, former UT head football coach, will be the special guest.

One of the sculptures is a bust of his late brother, Bill Majors, a UT coach killed tragically at age 26 in a cartrain wreck after a UT game.

The sculpture, including a sculpted pedestal, once resided in the Hall of Fame at Stokely Athletics Center but has been in storage for many years. Brimer Monument Company is moving the 800-pound statue without charge.

The reception is a First Friday event and is free and open to the public. Musician Luke Wilkerson will perform. Valet parking will be available.

“This happened really because of the great marble exhibit we’re about to do in conjunction with it,” says Sherby Jones, board member of the Candoro Arts & Heritage Center. “It will have five of Albert Milani’s large pieces that we have found.”

Milani was chief carver at Candoro for 40 years. In its heyday in the 1930s and 1940s, the marble works contributed to many significant buildings throughout the United States.

On Saturday, the focus will switch to music in an event Candoro hopes will become an annual fall festival. The origins came from a Hank Days celebration previously hosted by Candoro, so the heritage center tried to find a way to incorporate that theme via the bands playing throughout the day.

“They’re all required to play a Hank Williams song,” says Jones. “They may all play the same tune, who knows.”

Participating will be the Meltones, Vestal Riders, Rose Hawley, the Knox County Jug Stompers, Electric Healing Blues, Exit 65 and the Samuel Williams Orchestra. The audience

will decide the winner of the Hank Williams Championship Contest, judging the best rendition of a Williams song.

The bands will perform on two stages, with Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis hosting the mainstage.

A third stage will feature performances by belly-dance artists including DeLacey Ault, Humaya Tribal Fusion

and the Sandsations.

“They’re not going to do Hank Williams,” says Jones.

“I tried to get them to.”

Candoro Rocks will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. In addition to the music and dancers, there will be food and craft vendors and children’s activities. Items sold at the Candoro Café will benefit the Candoro restoration fund.

Of all the promotions aimed at keeping South Knoxville businesses afloat during the Henley Bridge closure, this may be the coolest one yet: Scott Miller will perform a set at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the Disc Exchange, 2615 Chapman Highway.

Before you ask which limb store owner Allan Miller had to sacrifice to get the renowned Americana musician to visit, listen to this: “We called him,” says Scott Miller. “Those people have been so good.

“How can you not help the Disc Exchange? They’re dying on the vine over there.”

The music store is certainly turning the evening into an event, offering free beer along with the free music. Miller also will sign CDs and get fans revved up for his 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, show at the Bijou Theatre.

Miller, who established his music career in Knoxville after moving here in 1990, returned to his native Virginia a couple of years ago to help his octogenarian father run the family farm near Staunton. He has kept close ties with Knoxville and makes it a point to schedule shows here.

Next week’s visit will be like a homecoming as he promotes his new album, “Big Big World,” with a Blue Plate Special at WDVX and makes the media rounds.

He’s abandoning the cows for a month as he travels in support of “Big Big World,” which is technically a solo album but also a collaboration with Nashville producer, songwriter and musician Doug Lancio.

To create the album, Miller would take his typewriter and make a “little nest” in an office at Lancio’s studio, writing lyrics to music Lancio wrote.

“The only person I’ve cowritten songs with (before) was Mic Harrison from the V-Roys,” says Miller. “Maybe that’s because we were taught by Steve Earle a lot of tricks and things, or because Mic and I naturally

approached songs the same way – we were simpatico there.”

He felt relaxed with Lancio because the lyrics he wanted to write and the music Lancio kept supplying were in the same vein.

“The thing with Doug was, he didn’t really want to mess with the lyrics; he was all music,” says Miller. “The music part is not my strong point. Never has been. I’m always, like, three-chord guy. Doug also has pop sensibilities. He’s proven it with Patty Griffin and these other people that he’s produced.”

The songs on “Big Big World” take Miller out of the Americana box and let him play with varying forms of rock, country and even African beats.

“This is different than any other record I’ve made,” says Miller, who adds that he had to open himself up to trust Lancio’s input. “Probably my fans will hate it. But it’s what I wanted to do. And if you don’t want to do it and if you’re not happy doing it, who’s going to want to let you do it anyway?”

On his days off during the October tour, Miller will fly to catch up with Griffin and open for her on her tour.

It will be a grueling month, but he’s ready.

“Working on the farm now, I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been,” he says. “I feel good. Whether I look good, I don’t know.”

A-6 • SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 • POWELL Shopper news

There’s a big game in town two John Majors passes to Buddy Cruze, down and out, then down and in, to the Tech 1. Tommy Bronson scored the touchdown in a 6-0 victory. Other highlights included Majors quick-kicking 68 yards and tackle Jim Smelcher finding a fumble when Tech was driving.

There were other defining moments. Two years later, a Wyatt team lost to Chattanooga.

Strange that a couple of ties would be big deals in Doug Dickey’s time at Tennessee. Knotting up at 3-3 with nationally-ranked LSU in Baton Rouge was the bright spot for his first team. That was 1964.

Fighting defending national champion Alabama to a 7-7 tie in Birmingham

the next season was the liftoff to a strong finish. Snake Stabler contributed by throwing away the football to stop the clock – only to discover it was fourth down.

There were several other definitive games in the Dickey era – the Rosebonnet win over UCLA, three in a row over the Tide, weeks and weeks in the top 10. Do not skip lightly over Dickey’s success.

Alas and alas, there was no way for Bill Battle to shake off the kick-return loss to North Texas State, the fake punt against Georgia and missed extra points against Duke. I prefer to remember the rain game against Auburn, smart punts on first down, 21-0 Tennessee victory.

Defining event for Majors

as coach was Jan. 1, 1986, Sugar Bowl, 35-7 romp over No. 2 Miami. I’m not sure the mighty Hurricane ever figured out what hit it.

Phillip Fulmer had a defining season, 1998, overtime victory over Florida, miraculous comeback against Arkansas, national championship triumph over Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Derek Dooley had a defining game, the chaotic, last-gasp loss to LSU at Baton Rouge. Losing to a Kentucky team that had no quarterback was worse.

If the current Vols put the bite on the Bulldogs, it will be the first few feet – or maybe a city block – on Butch Jones Boulevard.

Words of grace and wisdom

in the faith, the grace that makes us the person God envisioned at our creation.

That is a process that takes the whole of the rest of our lives.

That is the part of God’s grace that is left out of the quote. It is true that God doesn’t care who you were.

It is very true that God cares who you are now.

Most of all, however, God cares who you are going to become. And who God wants us to become is perhaps best described by C. S. Lewis: “Christ says ‘Give me All. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don’t want to cut off a branch here

and a branch there. I want to have the whole tree down….The moment you put yourself in My hands, that is what you are in for. Nothing less, or other, than that. You have free will, and if you choose, you can push Me away. But if you do not push Me away, understand that I am going to see this job through.

Whatever suffering it may cost you in your earthly life, whatever inconceivable purification it may cost you after death, whatever it costs Me, ‘I will never rest, nor let you rest, until you are literally perfect – until my Father can say without reservation that He is well pleased with you, as He said He was well pleased with me. This I can do and will do. But I will not do anything less.’ ”

or bad, priceless gems or sore spots that never heal, unforgettable either way.

Robert R. Neyland had a really good one on Oct. 20, 1928, Tennessee against Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

The young coach had to be a salesman just to secure spot on the Tide schedule.

Marvin aAlabama was big time. It West had been to the Rose Bowl.

far, far ahead.

Alabama never got far, far ahead. Tennessee sophomore Gene McEver returned the opening kickoff 98 yards. The Vols won, 1513. The Tide was stunned.

Many of us consider this the real beginning of Tennessee football.

First defining game for coach Bowden Wyatt was Nov. 10, 1956, Tennessee against Georgia Tech in downtown Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets were ranked No. 2 in the country, the Vols No. 3.

It was one of the most intense and exciting battles in Tennessee history, selected some time later as the second greatest game ever played. I can’t remember what was supposedly better.

The outcome swung on

Then the son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” But the father said to his slaves, “Quickly, bring out a robe – the best one – and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!”

(Luke 15: 21-24a NRSV) God doesn’t care who you were. God only cares who you are now. (“Cowboys and Aliens,” Scott Mitchell Rosenberg)

Wisdom comes to us through many avenues.

Sometimes we learn through reading and studying the Bible. Sometimes we hear a life-changing sermon. Occasionally the

oracle speaks through the voice of a good and faithful friend. Perhaps once in a lifetime, one hears the voice of God. (That is a column for another day).

It is not often, however,

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

that God’s wisdom comes to us through a Western movie.

“Cowboys and Aliens” is not my favorite Western. Not even close. But I was watching it one night with my husband, and when I heard the line quoted above, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote it down: “God doesn’t care who you were; God only cares who you are now.”

There it is, I thought:

God’s grace in one sentence.

Except that there is one important part left out.

John Wesley famously understood the grace of God in three distinct ways: prevenient grace, justifying grace and sanctifying grace. Wesley believed and preached that God’s prevenient grace was the grace that goes before (hence the prevenience of it). It is the grace that gets our attention.

Justifying grace is the grace that sets us right with God, the grace that washes away our sins and makes us clean and whole.

Sanctifying grace is the grace that “grows us up”

Blalock Construction had agreed to help with the project if the site was located near one of its projects. As it happens, Blalock was building a bridge near Clapp’s farm.

Lincoln Memorial University professor Dr. Earl Hess served as a consultant to make sure the northwest bastion of the fort was built to the original’s exact height and depth based on descriptions by the fort’s engineer,

Built in 2007, the northwest bastion of Fort Sanders (originally located near 17th Street on the UT campus and lost in the early 1900s) has been replicated to scale.

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

Roberts just can’t say ‘no’ to teaching “Just when I thought I was out … they pull me back in.”

– Michael Corleone, “The Godfather: Part III”

By Betsy Pickle Unlike Michael Corleone, Ernie Roberts has no one to blame but himself. To paraphrase another movie character, Ado Annie in “Oklahoma!,” he’s just a guy who can’t say no.

Roberts retired at the end of spring semester 2009 after 30 years of teaching – mostly math – in the Knoxville and Knox County school systems. That fall, he was asked to return to Bearden High School, where he’d taught since 1984, to fill in for a teacher on maternity leave. He hasn’t had a free semester since then.

“I think it’s the teamwork that I find rewarding,” says Roberts. “I wind up building relationships with students, parents and fellow staff members. You can put all these forces together and see something very productive as a result.

“I can leave each day and feel like something has been accomplished, sometimes on a very large scale, sometimes on a small scale.”

Roberts, who started out teaching Spanish but ended up instructing every type of math class except calculus during his career, says he loves it when a student gets it and has an “aha!” moment.

“When they get excited, I feed off that energy,” he says.

This semester, Roberts teaches two morning classes in honors geometry at Bearden. Each afternoon, he drives to Carter High to teach AP statistics.

Since “retiring,” he also has taught at Gibbs and Richard Yoakley while teaching almost every semester at Bearden. Sometimes he’s managed to schedule his teaching assignments in the afternoon.

“I was determined to sleep late one semester to see what it felt like to be retired,” he says. “Sleeping in – I enjoyed that.”

Born in Cincinnati, Roberts grew up in Cookeville and Raleigh, N.C., until his family returned to his father’s hometown of Knoxville when he was a sophomore.

He graduated from Central High School, then went to UT where he majored in foreign-language education (Spanish) and earned a math certification. He followed up with a master’s in mathematics.

He started his teaching career with three years at Fulton. The last two, he was junior-class sponsor and had to help organize the prom.

His extracurricular experience helped him dive in when he moved to Bearden. He immediately was tapped

to advise the whitewater-rafting club, which he did for three years.

Early on, Roberts was asked by then-guidance counselor Tal Hooker to help with Key Club. The group was in a slump, but it soon took off.

“The first year we had 43 members; within two to three years we had over 100,” he says. “I believe in 1995 we crossed the 200 mark. It was the first time any Key Club in the history of Tennessee and Kentucky Key Clubs hit 200.

“We had so many projects, so many hours.

What I found was, students want to be in a group that’s active.

It was important to be a member of that club. You’re working and helping other people, serving the school, serving the community.”

That’s the perfect way to describe Roberts. In addition to his school “work” – which includes announcing BHS basketball games and announcing the graduates at commencement – he’s vice president of the board of the Love Kitchen, vice president of News Sentinel Chari-

ties, cohost of the raffle tree at the Fantasy of Trees, associate drama director for the Nativity Pageant and newly elected board member of the WordPlayers.

He’s a regular cast member of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Front Page Follies, an occasional member of the Knoxville Opera Chorus, music director at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church and choir member at Central Baptist Church of Bearden. He’s on the home tour committee of Historic Old North Knoxville and is treasurer of the homeowners association in Black Mountain, N.C., where he bought a vacation home last year.

In his free time, he likes to hike and go rafting. He also acts in commercials and locally produced crime re-enactment shows. He’ll be seen this fall in a five-episode arc of a DIY show called “Uncondemned,” which chronicles the process he and some friends went through in renovating a house in their neighborhood.

“Flexibility is the best thing going in life,” says Roberts, who was one of six finalists for state Teacher of the Year in 2002 and has worked on numerous curriculum revisions at the state level for Algebra I.

Knox County Council PTA

Roberts is back advising the Bearden Key Club again. He’s faithful about helping members park cars at Ronald McDonald House for every UT home football game. From 1997 through 2012, the club raised more than $105,000 for Ronald McDonald House.

“The kids get out there and pull it together, and they have fun doing it,” he says. “People like to park with us.”

He plays down his role but admits, “As a geometry teacher, I know how to arrange cars.”

Roberts says he likes to keep things fun and light in the classroom and out, but the important thing is helping students learn.

“Contrary to popular belief, students are also usually very appreciative of the things you do for them,” he says. “It’s a warm feeling.”

Carpenter is National Merit Scholar semifinalist

National Merit Scholar candidate Amanda Carpenter Powell High senior Amanda Carpenter is a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist and has earned the right to compete for the National Merit Scholarship award.

Carpenter hit the upper bracket on her PSAT test scores but she still has a long road ahead to qualify

as a finalist, including taking the SAT. Carpenter is working with guidance counselor Martha McCluen.

The highest achieving students in the National Merit Scholarship Program will be designated as National Merit Scholars, representing less than 1 percent of the initial pool of entrants. Winners are candidates judged to have the strongest combination of academic skills and achievements, extracurricular accomplishments and potential for success in rigorous university studies.

If successful, Carpenter will participate with other finalists in receiving scholarships totaling close to $35 million.

Amanda is the daughter of Chester and Martha Carpenter.

Brooks supports AP State Rep. Harry Brooks, who represents East Knox County and Powell, chairs the House Educ at ion Committee.

During his tenure, Harry Brooks he’s come up with some good ideas (and one very bad one – the Virtual Academy).

Today (Monday, Sept.

30) at noon at Carter High School, Brooks will announce a plan to pilot exam

fee assistance for students who take Advanced Placement (AP) courses in five local high schools. You’ve gotta guess one will be Carter.

Brooks also pioneered the “dual credit” concept that allows high school students to get community college credit.

Harry served on the Knox County school board for several years and is married to retired teacher Mary Brooks.

It’s hard to know which has had the greater impact on his thinking. (We’re betting on Mary.)

Ryan Siebe: A Grandparents Day at Copper Ridge rewarding job Carter High School’s new principal, Ryan Siebe, really stepped into something when he came on board this year. As was Powell in 2012, Carter High was named a 2013 Reward School and Siebe will be the first to say that he wasn’t responsible for the great outcome.

Ruth White

The school earned the honor based on its student growth. “We didn’t just grow, we far exceeded,” said Siebe. Students at Carter placed in the state’s top five percent of growth, and Siebe credits the teachers and students for the honor.

“No one in the building is afraid of hard work,” he says.

Siebe expects to see a continuation of great things, including creating sustainability by receiving student input to help guide and continue the growth. He would like to see the academic growth overflow into areas

such as student government and PTO. Siebe has been at the reins for a short time, but he knows a good thing. Carter High is fortunate to staff great teachers and support personnel and to have the support of a wonderful community.

Before coming to Carter High, Siebe was the curriculum principal at Austin-East Magnet for two

years. He is a graduate of the Leadership Academy and interned at Fulton and Bearden high schools.

In his free time, Siebe enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys on the soccer fields, hunting and fishing. He is a 1994 graduate of Milligan College and is originally from Evansville, Indiana. He says he has no intention of leaving East Tennessee.

NEWS FROM HIGH AND PICKETT ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY

High and Pickett Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery expands

By Anne Hart

Dr. William R. High, seated at left, with new associate, Dr. David O. Pickett, and the office staff at High and Pickett Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Standing, from left, Misty Seal, dental assistant; Cindy Sprinkle, office manager; Sharon Keith, dental assistant; Sarah Douglas, patient coordinator and Barbara Randolph, insurance coordinator.

With the recent addition of Dr. David O. Pickett, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice of Dr. William R. High, founded in West Knoxville almost 35 years ago, has seen a dramatic transformation.

And there has been another kind of growth as well. The first week in September the practice opened new offices in a much larger space on the top floor at 248 North Peters Rd., next door to its previous location.

Patients are delighted with the new site, which offers a spacious and beautifully decorated reception area as cozy and comfortable as any home, and plenty of convenient parking right at the door.

Dr. High has always been known for the quality of his work and also for his attention to every detail of

patient care and with the addition of Dr. Pickett, patients will find the same level of care. The practice specializes in wisdom teeth, dental implants, bone grafts, extractions, TMJ treatment, biopsies and facial reconstruction. Dr. Pickett will be introducing cosmetic surgery and BOTOX injections to the practice’s menu of services.

Dr. High and Dr. Pickett also maintain trauma services at UT Medical Center, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, and Ft. Sanders Parkwest Hospital and enjoy the challenges this entails. Both doctors proudly wear the UT Medical Center’s Guardian Angel pins, indicating that patients have donated to the Center in their honor.

Dr. Pickett is a native of Utah who holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees in microbiology

from Brigham Young University. He graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2009 and received specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery at UT Medical Center, where one of his professors was Dr. High.

Dr. Pickett says he came to the profession of dentistry naturally.

His Dad is a dentist in Utah, “and I grew up working in the back.” Dr. Pickett and his wife, Erin, have a son and two daughters.

He says the decision to move to Knoxville was an easy one. “It seems like a family-oriented town – a good place to raise a family. We’re very happy here.”

Office hours for High and Pickett Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 691-0918.

The website is being updated and will be available soon.

NEWS FROM ANGELIC MINISTRIES

Help for families in crisis

By Nancy Whittaker Enthusiasm, dedication and commitment were all evident when Sandra Clark and I entered Angelic Ministries. Betsy Frazier, founder, says she was called to minister to families in crisis, “the working poor.”

Her husband, Mike, owns Knox Rail Salvage. In 2001, Mike placed a bid on the old Merita Bread factory at the corner of Central Street and Oklahoma. He and Betsy agreed that she would use part of the building for her warehouse and distribution center and he would use the remainder for storage. Betsy says that plan didn’t last long.

Angelic Ministries grew so rapidly that they were soon using the entire 65,000 square feet. As for the landlord, Betsy smiles and says, “He’s never seen a dime.”

During our visit, we met some amazing people and will be sharing their stories in future editions. Tony Earl, former pastor at

Oakwood Baptist, is now pastoring at Angelic Ministries.

As Betsy and Tony gave us the grand tour, it became clear how much good Angelic Ministries has been doing. Last year, more than 5,000 families in crisis were helped. Betsy emphasized that they aren’t just giving out furniture, household goods, clothing, hygiene products and food. The people who come to them must be referred by a church or agency. Angelic Ministries wants to help these families with immediate needs, but they also want to help them to become independent and get jobs.

We encountered volunteers and people working in the ministries’ enhancement program. We also learned how the public can help.

Joe and Whitney Book of Farragut admit, “We’re so jazzed!”

Sharon Montgomery of White Pine (with her husband Mike) is a zoo volunteer, but says, “I’m a customer today!”

Pam Cunningham, Cynthia Hobday and Jeff Pinion of West Knoxville enjoy the evening. “I bought something last year,” says Cynthia, “so we’re adding to the collection!”

West Knoxville residents Rebekah and Heyward Baxter pose with downtown residents Marcus Goodreau, Carrie Sorensen and Jacob Price. It was a first visit for all but they’re looking forward to next year.

Barbara Brower, who works in development, poses beside her spectacular cake made for the occasion. She also does cakes for family birthdays and special events, but resists going professional. “I have to have a connection to the recipient,” she says, “or it’s not any fun.”
