KUB launches $5 million project In partnership with the city’s North Central Streetscapes Project, KUB and its contractor were scheduled to begin work on utility improvements on Oct. 24.

This project will replace water main along a 12-block section of N. Central Street, beginning north of the railroad tracks in the Old City and progressing north to Woodland Avenue.

A section of water main on Fifth Avenue between Lamar and Williams streets also will be replaced. Combined, the KUB and city infrastructure investments will total more than $5 million with KUB’s share less than $2 million.

Rural/Metro plans new north firehall

By Shannon Carey

Rural/Metro plans to construct a new, larger firehall on Emory Road around Tennova North during 2017.

Chief Jerry Harnish said plans are firm, but the site selection is incomplete.

Jeff Bagwell, a lieutenant with Rural/Metro Fire Department, spoke in October to the Halls Business and Professional Association.

In an interview afterwards, Bagwell said the new firehall will be similar in design to the current Powell station. He said no station will be closed as a result of the new project. “We’ve seen a lot of growth� in the North area, he said. “Having subscribers makes it possible for us to fund capital projects.�

Although Rural/Metro has served Knox County since 1977, Bagwell said he’s shocked at the number of people “who don’t know who

we are.�

Knoxville residents and businesses are served by the Knoxville Fire Department, a division of city government. Residents who live in the town of Farragut or in unincorporated areas outside either municipality are served by Rural/Metro, a subscription-based company. “We receive no money from Knox County.

Our funding is from subscribers.�

He answered some frequently asked questions: Why does a fire truck come when I call for an ambulance?

Every fire truck is equipped to do everything an ambulance does, except transport to a hospital, Bagwell said.

Will you answer a call from a nonsubscriber?

Yes, we will always come, even if you don’t subscribe.

But it’s better to be a subscriber ahead of time than to pay the bill after the fact, he said.

What should families do to be safer?

Install smoke detectors and change the batteries every time you set your clocks Jeff Bagwell for the time change.

Do exit drills at home. Practice tonight by turning off all lights and making your way from your bedroom outside. You’ll find obstructions.

Clear them; keep exit pathways clear.

Check fire extinguishers. And hang them between the stove (most common source of fire) and the kitchen exit.

Panther Station opens at PHS

By Ruth White

Marketing students at Powell High School are gaining sales/ business experience thanks, in part, to a grant from Tanger Outlets. Last school year, business students created a business plan for a school store and submitted it to Tanger for a chance at winning a grant.

Teachers Susan Martin and Jennifer Morgan guided the students through the process and are excited to see the business plan come to life. “Students are involved in the buying decisions, inventory and overall process of running a business,� said Morgan.

JaJuan Chaney is the store manager and Alayna Krutsinger is the accountant and both were involved in writing the business plan for the project.

JaJuan is responsible for many duties including scheduling, ordering inventory and more. He plans to own a business after college, and Morgan knows that he will be a success one day, calling him a future CEO. Alayna plans to attend college where she wants to get a master’s in business with a focus on accounting.

Some of the items for sale include basic school supplies,

drinks, gum (a best-seller) and spirit items such as jerseys, Tshirts that were designed by the business students, cellphone cases, lanyards and more.

The new store is located near the library and is open every day

at lunch and during non-lunch hours on Thursdays and Fridays.

Through the week the store sells smart snacks (food approved by the school) and on Fridays it sells “fun foods,� which include popular candy items and sodas.

All in for Eddie, but why?

Entrepreneur students will gain experience at running a business through the school store and will take valuable skills and hours of experience in retail/sales with them after they graduate.

It had been three years since Stacey Catlett’s last mammogram.

That came as a surprise to her.

“Time gets away,” the Pigeon Forge native says. “I didn’t realize three years had passed so fast.”

Stacey, who is in treatment for invasive ductal carcinoma, acknowledges that she would have waited even longer to have a mammogram had it not been for a coworker who encouraged her to schedule one - a woman who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I was just busy,” Stacey says.

“You neglect yourself because you do for everyone else.”

Stacey had even dismissed a small lump she’d noticed in her left breast, deciding it was probably “just a cyst.” But personally knowing someone who had been diagnosed gave her the motivation she needed to make an appointment for a mammogram.

Later, walking into a radiologist’s office, Stacey saw a pink bag sitting on a countertop. She could tell it was packed with information for a breast cancer patient, and she began to cry.

“I already knew,” Stacey says.

Richard Catlett says he doesn’t often see his wife break down like that. “She’s like a rock,” Richard says. “She’s so strong because of what she’s dealt with, so I just thought she was a little nervous, and I tried not to think about it.”

Stacey still vividly remembers when she was 18 and found out her mother had leukemia. Telling her own teenaged daughter about the breast cancer diagnosis was the first and most intense of a series of physically and emotionally painful moments, known only to cancer patients.

“I just tried to explain it the best I could,” says Stacey. The Catletts made a commitment to be com-

Adair Oak named state historic tree

Fountain City resident and consulting arborist Jim Cortese, Berry Lynnhurst Funeral Home general manager Keah Deal and Fountain City historian Dr. Jim Tumblin chat about the Adair Oak, which has been designated a Tennessee Historic Tree by the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council.

By Jake Mabe The mystery surrounding the location of Fort Adair has been solved -- somewhat -- thanks to the age of a historic tree.

The Adair Oak, a large, lone white oak tree located in the north section of the cemetery at Berry Lynnhurst Funeral Home on West Adair Drive in Fountain City, has been designated a Tennessee Historic Tree by the Tennessee

Urban Forestry Council. A plaque was presented to the funeral home last week by Tom Simpson, who is the state urban forester for East Tennessee and represents the forestry council.

In order to be considered a historic tree, the age of the tree has to be proven. Local arborist and Fountain City resident Jim Cortese, a former TUFC president, used historical information about Fort Adair and two

photographs to help determine that the oak was a seedling circa 1789. “It’s virtually impossible to be exactly certain, so I just tried to cross-check it somehow,� Cortese said.

First, he used an age factor as found in the 1988 International Society of Aboriculture Guide for Tree Appraisal for a white oak tree and, using an algebraic equation, determined the tree might have been plant-

Griffin writes new chapter after concussion

By Stacy Levy On Jan. 26, Victoria GrifďŹ n, a Division 1 competitive softball player and Powell native, took a blow to the head during practice.

A concussion was d i a g no s e d the next day.

DiagGriffin no s t ic i a n s said she would be ďŹ ne in a couple of weeks, no big deal right? Well, two weeks later, she was functioning with the capacity of a 4-year-old.

She couldn’t read, think of certain words; even certain noises like footsteps or the sound of her own voice were like a railroad spike through her skull. This is what Victoria called â€œďŹ‚ooding “ or overstimulus of the brain.

It took four months, two ER visits, a drug overdose (caused by a neurologist who was supposed to help her), and a desperate strug-

gle to graduate from college without being able to read or perform basic functions, until she ďŹ nally began the road to recovery. Today, she is stronger and more grateful for the life she leads. “The concussion took everything away from me. It stripped away my identity,â€? says Victoria. “On the surface, the concussion cost me my senior season of softball and four months of my life.â€?

But in reality, this injury left scars so deep that they are difďŹ cult to describe, which is what prompted her to write about it because there were no publications solely dedicated to brain injuries. Because of the lack of brain injury information, Victoria wanted to start a movement, a “story telling movement,â€? an anthology to be exact. “If I could go back in time to high school and college, I would tell my younger self not to stress and to spend more time having fun while she has the chance. I’d tell her to drink more water,

wear a face mask in college and leave the ďŹ eld the moment she was hit on the head. But I know she wouldn’t listen. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way,â€? says Victoria. “Simply telling people about concussions and brain injuries is not sufďŹ cient to nurture awareness and understanding. We need to show them. A piece of ďŹ ction has the ability to relate a truth that reality could never touch, that’s why we need Flooded, an anthology of people telling their stories,â€? says Victoria.

There are three goals to the Flooded Anthology: victims of brain injuries need an outlet, victims need a place to get information and convey realities of brain injuries, and there needs to be a place to showcase brilliant writing.

A Kickstarter program just went online Oct. 11, and will be funded only if at least $10,810 is pledged by 10:36 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 10. This program will

(Jim’s brother) standing beside it. The average human head is 6.5 inches in diameter, and Cortese found the tree is 21 millimeters in diameter. He compared that to a 1926 photograph, in which the head of a person standing in front of the tree measured 5 inches in diameter, and the tree was then 23 millimeters in diameter.

Based on that information and using the same algebraic equation, Cortese determined the tree was planted in 1803.

Finally, he used the average diameters of six white oak trees his ďŹ rm cut down in the 1990s and ultimately concluded the Adair Oak would have been a seedling when Fort Adair was built in 1788.

Jim Tumblin says the fort “supplied protection and provisions for the Cumberland Guard and pioneer settlers who were passing through East Tennessee on their way to settlements near Fort Nashboro (present-day Nashville).� “By recognizing the tree, I hope that it will improve its chance of survival for several more generations, educate the public on the historic site and bring some glory to the cemetery as curators,� Cortese said.

Berry Lynnhurst general manager Keah Deal said the historic tree designation “means everything� to the

funeral home. “We sit on Fort Adair as far as we are concerned,�

Deal said. “John Adair’s burial site is here, and we’re honored to have the tree on this property and be the guardians and caretakers of it.�

Deal also said the funeral home will soon be working with Cortese to replace dying trees and, with some location restrictions, offer opportunities for families with loved ones buried at the cemetery to become involved in the program.

As happy as he is about the age discovery and the state recognition of the tree, Tumblin doesn’t think the actual location of Fort Adair will ever be solved. “Until I found a quote from Kate White in the Knoxville Sentinel when she interviewed John Adair’s great-grandson James Harvey Smith in 1923, I always thought the fort had been on high ground. It was probably closer to the (former) Ruby Tuesday location, but it’s still a mystery in my mind. “If only trees could talk.�

Tumblin’s book, “Fountain City: People Who Made a Difference,� contains a chapter about John Adair and is available at Pratt’s Country Store, Page Fountain City Pharmacy and at the East Tennessee History Center’s bookstore downtown.

All in for Eddie

then help fund the writing anthology submissions, editing and creative process.

Written submissions will be taken starting Tuesday, Nov. 15.

In the future, Victoria hopes to mentor teens. “Young athletes need to be aware that a concussion is not ‘getting your bell rung,’ and it’s not a bump on the head. It can permanently change your life, and I will do everything in my power to make that information available and understandable.�

Why are the governor and those he inuences aligned against Gloria Johnson?

Perhaps it’s because she is strongly opposed to outsourcing the jobs of career employees at UT. Maybe it’s because she gets the broader battle over charter schools and vouchers and stands ďŹ rmly on the side of public education.

Maybe it’s just because she’s a Democrat in a state that seeks to be “Red to the Roots.�

One-party rule is dangerous. It was bad for Tennessee for 100 years until Republicans started clawing back in the 1970s following the statewide elections of Howard Baker, then Bill Brock and WinďŹ eld Dunn. This writer was there then and stood with the insurgents.

Now Republicans have a supermajority and are looking for more. The District 13 race will be the county’s closest on Nov. 8. Gov. Haslam has made it about him. He’s not for Donald Trump, but he’s all in for Eddie. We’ll see soon how that plays out.

government Burchett sniffs out truth on Hoffa Everybody knows about Tim Burchett and Big Foot.

And Tim Burchett and metal detecting and Tim Burchett and motorcycles and Tim Burchett and World War II history (he lost an uncle in Europe and his dad, Charlie, fought in the Pacific).

Tim Burchett is interested in a lot of stuff.

But Tim Burchett and Jimmy Hoffa? Who knew?

Turns out the Knox County mayor has harbored a long and abiding interest in the union strong man whose 1975 disappearance has spawned decades of rumors and conspiracy theories. Contrary to myth, Burchett says there’s no mystery about what really happened to the legendary Teamster boss.

He says it was a clean, clinical, classic mob hit.

“All those legends like the one about burying him under Giants Stadium? Stupid. They (organized crime) kill people for a living. He was shot in the back of the head and cremated within an hour.”

Last week, Burchett was the featured book reviewer at the East Tennessee History Center’s “Books Sandwiched In,” sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

The book he chose was, “I Heard You Paint Houses,” by former Las Vegas prosecutor Charles Brandt.

It is the story of Frank “the Irishman” Sheeran, a mobster and a longtime Hoffa friend who decided to clear his conscience with a death-bed confession that he was the one who pumped two bullets into Hoffa’s skull on July 30, 1975. He said Hoffa’s body was taken to a local funeral home and deposited into an incinerator.

The book’s title came from Sheeran’s account of the first thing Hoffa ever said to him, “I heard you paint houses” – mobsterese for the way blood splatters the walls and floors when someone is shot in the head at close range.

Sheeran worked for East Coast Mafia boss Russell Bufalino, a business associate of Hoffa’s

Betty Bean with connections to the Las Vegas casino business.

Sheeran told Brandt that his response to Hoffa was, “Yeah, and I do carpentry, too,” meaning that he knew how to dispose of corpses.

Hoffa was elected president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 1958 and became the most powerful figure in organized labor. He ran into a streak of bad luck in 1964 when he was convicted of jury tampering (and a long list of other offenses) and sentenced to 13 years in federal prison. He stayed on as president until 1971 when he resigned as part of a pardon deal with the Nixon administration (that also involved a bribe that Sheeran claimed to have delivered to Attorney General John Mitchell).

When he got sprung, Hoffa was dismayed to learn that the deal barred him from getting his job back, and he started working to undermine it.

Which led to his sudden demise.

Filmmaker Martin Scorsese has optioned “I Heard You Paint Houses,” and Burchett is looking forward to the movie. He believes Sheeran’s story.

“He was clearing his conscience before he died,” Burchett said.

Burchett, a tee-totaling nonsmoker whose favorite epithet is dadgummit, says he can identify with Mafia stories like this one (and fictional accounts like “The Godfather” and “The Sopranos”).

“I wanted to be the honest Don Corleone, to help people – without the bad stuff. I’d see that with my dad. People would come see him; he’d make a call and take care of it.

“Hoffa genuinely cared about working people and made sure they were taken are of. And they loved him for it. He could have shut the country down.”

Thanks to election workers

Betty Watson called to thank the folks at the Downtown West early voting site. She said she has leg problems and the people there were so nice and helped her in and out of the car, and didn’t make her wait in line.

Alvin Nance seeks old job Alvin Nance, former executive director of KCDC who left to work for Lawler Wood Housing Partners, has applied for his old job back at Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation as Art Cate is retiring as director. Nance will have to compete with at least 38 other applicants, and the process will likely go into 2017. If he prevails, this will be the first time the same person has served twice as KCDC chief.

Nance was highly regarded at KCDC and would be a safe and respected choice for another tour. He would not need on-the-job training. He also would not be running for mayor in a special election in 2017 or the regular election in 2019.

■ Legislative observers are surprised at the ferocious nature of attacks between House Republicans with Democrats sitting still. Speaker Beth Harwell is blasting state Rep. Billy Spivey for his attacks on House Clerk Joe McCord and her leadership. Reps.

Andy Holt and Rick Womick are attacking the speaker and the governor.

Normally, a speaker would not criticize a minor House member (especially one who is retiring), which would only serve to elevate his public attention. Harwell accused Spivey of being a Jeremy Durham supporter when in fact he is not. She would have been better advised to have downplayed

Victor Ashe

the accusations and said where the actual charges stood as opposed to a heavy attack on Spivey himself. It achieved little for her record of calm, reason and stability.

House Republicans have created a circular firing squad with these frequent attacks. Harwell is not a Ned McWherter, Jimmy Naifeh or Ron Ramsey in her speakership. She is more like Gov. Bill Haslam and less given to cracking the whip on dissident members.

She will likely win reelection to her Nashville House seat but also faces a serious opponent in Jimmy Matlock for her Speaker post. Her problem is that her House district is moderate and her House caucus is much more conservative, making it very difficult for her to represent both at the same time.

■ The Gloria Johnson/Eddie Smith race for state representative is hot and both are going all out.

Smith is linking himself to U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan and Haslam. Both have appeared for him, along with U.S. Rep. Diane Black, who is mentioned as a candi-

date for governor in 2018.

Jim Haslam, father of Gov. Haslam, has been especially vocal in his backing for Smith. The governor has appeared in Smith TV ads.

Johnson has had retired UT football coach Johnny Majors and Mayor Madeline Rogero doing appearances for her. Rogero has also assured Smith that she will be measured in her backing of Johnson and appeared with him in Sequoyah Hills’ Talahi Park last week for a check presentation. This is an attempt by Rogero to hedge her bets if Smith wins and she has to deal with him as chair of the Knox delegation for two more years. The fact is, Rogero is playing both sides on this one.

■ David Kustoff, GOP nominee for Congress in West Tennessee, benefited from a small fundraiser at Cherokee Country Club last week hosted by Duncan, Jim Haslam and developer and UT vice chair Raja Jubran. Kustoff, former U.S. Attorney, won a 13-way contest in August and is assured of winning Nov. 8. He, along with Democratic U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, are both from Shelby County. This marks the first time Tennessee has had two members of Congress who are Jewish.

Cohen is a liberal Democrat while Kustoff is a conservative Republican.

■ James Corcoran, who ran a strong race for state representative against Martin Daniel, has endorsed

Daniel on the grounds “his economic policies will be better for Tennessee” than his opponent’s (Brandi Price). Corcoran and Daniel combined for 64 percent of the GOP primary vote in the West Knox County district.

■ Knoxville lost a great friend and history proponent with the death of Bud Albers, 91. A wellknown and s uc c e s s f u l businessman, Albers was an avid Bud Albers historian active in the East Tennessee Historical Society.

■ The Coffee County GOP has condemned Gov. Haslam for opposing Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for president. Coffee County is the home of Tullahoma and Manchester as well as the site of the Bonnaroo festival.

Next year could be critical for the future of the festival, which sold only 45,000 tickets in 2016, down from 70,000 tickets sold in 2015. The GOP committees in Lincoln (Winchester) and Macon (Red Boiling Springs) have adopted similar resolutions.

This is unprecedented.

■ Early voting has been very heavy with over 9,200 voting on the first day.

Victor Ashe is a former mayor of Knoxville and U.S. Ambassador to Poland.

Show me the money

By Lauren Hopson Several weeks ago, I had the privilege of witnessing the drumlines from Halls and Powell High Schools perform at the opening of the new Kroger Hopson in Powell.

It was a proud moment as a parent, not only to watch my son perform and show off the results of untold hours of hard work, but to witness bands from rival schools exhibiting an air of collaboration and sportsmanship so often lacking in today’s world.

An exciting moment of the event occurred when the Kroger staff presented $500 checks to the directors of each band, Eric Baumgartner and Richard Shaw.

Don’t get me wrong, I was happy and appreciative that Kroger understood the need to value those programs and express it in a very tangible way. However, I couldn’t help thinking of the statistic I heard at my very first band parent meeting just over a year ago.

Apparently, our school system provides band programs across the county with just $750. Not per student. Not per game. Per year. That amount doesn’t even pay for the expenses incurred during one away game, much less music, uniforms, instruments or instrument repair.

Then, I thought about how much it costs parents out-of-pocket to support their children who have musical aspirations. A parent whose child is involved in marching band and spring percussion ensemble puts out around $1,000 just so his or her kid can participate.

Then I thought of the crushed dreams of the kids who don’t get to participate because they can’t afford it.

Finally, I thought about the amount of money school systems are required to spend on standardized testing, computers for testing, test prep materials, and other unproven initiatives.

I wondered what has happened to our priorities.

We are supposed to have a system of free public education in our country so that

no student receives less of an education due to lack of ability to pay. In Knox County, we are proud that we haven’t had a tax increase in eons.

Are we proud that we need a Teacher Supply Depot just to outfit classrooms with necessary supplies?

Are we proud that we require working families to pay hundreds of dollars a year in class and supply fees?

Yes, I know families can get waivers, but if everyone decides not to pay, then what will our children have to go without?

I like to think that, over the last several years, I have helped to hold our school system accountable for how it spends money. However, we still have a lot of work to do in prioritizing how to al-

locate those funds.

Do we need layer upon layer of administration, technology for 5-year-olds and expensive tests that tell teachers what we already know, or do we need to invest in the actual learning of our students?

Our kids need to feel the support for their dreams in tangible ways. We can’t just support the dreams of kids going off to college to be doctors, lawyers and scientists, but also the dreams of the ones who will fi x our cars, build our homes, or perform on Broadway or at Madison Square Garden.

Show me the money for that student in auto-body class or the one in the art studio. Show me the money for that kid in the drumline.

Lauren Hopson is president of the Knox County Education Association.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ In case anyone cares, I’m voting for Hillary Clinton ■ Respected conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote that Trump “offered a dazzling array of reasons for disqualification: habitual mendacity, pathological nar-

cissism, profound ignorance and an astonishing dearth of basic human empathy.” I agree.

■ Krauthammer can’t vote for Hillary, though. He’s voting for Gary Johnson.

Glamour and heartbreak

For generations, Tennessee football has been the biggest show in town.

It is a glamorous game, full house at Neyland Stadium, color, pageantry, Smokey, standing ovations, “Rocky Top” again and again – and even ESPN GameDay if excitement peaks.

Fans worship the Volunteers. Have you ever been to the Vol Walk?

Thousands and more renew wedding vows with the Vols each spring when they skip a car payment to buy season tickets. Lives are planned around the schedule.

Memories are forever.

Long run. Pick six. Eightyyard pass on the opening play. Letterman status carries all the way to obituaries. We never forget.

Danny was down and ing gear, country music, big not moving much.

Teammates grasped the gravity of the situation. They took a knee.

Medical experts feared the worst, critical head or spinal injury. They called for a big board to support the big body and gingerly lifted him onto a John Deere wagon to be hauled away.

That was the last we saw of Danny, 11:44 to go in the fourth quarter.

There was good news at the hospital, no debilitating damage. He recovered sufficiently to fly home with the team.

A few hours later, he got fired.

Butch Jones said it was a violation of team rules. Butch didn’t make the decision. The penalty came down from the university. Best guess is a third failed drug test.

Teammates expressed surprise and hurt. Danny was very popular. As a fifth-year

senior, he had seen it all, losses to Vanderbilt, coaching changes, seasons of hard labor, no recognition, no complaints.

Danny could have been chased away earlier. On the early Sunday morning of Feb. 9, 2014, in the fallout from a loud party directed by A.J. Johnson and Dontavis Sapp, sheriff’s deputies charged Danny O’Brien O ’ B r i e n with criminal impersonation, resisting arrest and underage consumption of alcohol.

The real sin was the fake ID. Jones imposed what he considered proper punishment.

The court eventually dismissed the case.

Danny got in trouble again in September 2015.

He was suspended. He said the correct things, that he was learning from his blunders, “partying mistakes and all that stuff,” and that he would cut out the distractions out of respect for the team. He missed two games.

Finally came the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Tennessee football didn’t end right for Danny O’Brien. I was sorry to see him go. Down deep, he is a good man who made bad decisions. He got a degree but gave more than he got.

I liked something else.

Danny’s dad, Kelly, and grandfather Phil served in the Army. Danny was proud of that. On Veterans Day, he said, “Thank you to the true heroes who defend our flag and freedom.”

No question that Danny O’Brien stands for the national anthem. I like that.

Making the case for Donald Trump This election is rigged.

All of it. And if Donald Trump somehow comes back to win on Election Day it will be the biggest upset since Harry Truman came back to defeat Thomas Dewey in 1948.

When I write that the election is rigged, I’m not referring to the vote itself (at least not around here).

Tennessee has hard-working election officials who will ensure the integrity of the ballot.

This election is rigged because the national media and Democratic Party have never been so coordinated in their efforts to destroy the Republican nominee and influence the outcome of the election.

The (now infamous) recorded conversation between Donald Trump and

Scott Frith

Billy Bush occurred 11 years ago, and it’s easy to speculate that NBC had that audio tape before the Republican primary.

And they waited until now to use it.

If NBC were a news organization, instead of a political organization, they would have released the audio prior to the primary, and Republicans (if so inclined) could have nominated someone else.

NBC didn’t. They didn’t care about keeping Trump out of the White House.

Republicans could have

Larry & Laura Bailey

stopped Trump in the primaries. Instead, and more revealingly, NBC waited until weeks before the general election – for maximum effect – to help put Hillary Clinton in the White House.

In fact, a cynic might even say that Trump was a media-empowered Trojan horse used to destroy the Republican Party in 2016.

Think about it.

The purpose of these daily media frenzies isn’t just to defeat Donald Trump, but it’s also to elect Democrats to Congress. In states like Florida and Arizona, previously safe Republican incumbents like John McCain and Marco Rubio are threatened by this incessant anti-Trump media barrage.

If these incumbents were to lose, and enough congressional seats switch parties in

These concerns are legitimate and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

In fact, it says a lot about the state of our politics that Republicans are forced to vote for a scoundrel to prevent the election of Hillary Clinton – the most corrupt major party candidate in a generation.

Powell Church partners with homeless ministry

By Stacy Levy In 1987, preacher Bob Burger and his wife, Mary, started the Highways and By-Ways Ministry. It has had many locations over the years, but since 2012 its home has been at St. John’s Lutheran Church. Powell Church began its partnership with Highways and By-Ways in 2000, and this Powell Church ministry has had a tremendous effect on hundreds of the homeless and on the members of Powell Church as well.

“They have become our neighbors, we hear their stories and we get to know them. We share together the encouragement and hope we have in Jesus while we get to know them and try to meet their current needs,” says volunteer Jamie Bauknight.

The ministry meets every second, third and fourth Thursday nights, and it averages about 100 people each week. Powell Church is

responsible for making sure the meal is provided each week, and over the past 16 years, Powell Church has prepared and served over 60,000 meals.

Highways and By-Ways provides a safe place for anyone to come and find grace and rest from the streets, but it also provides a time of worship with music, preaching, distributing of clothes and of course sharing a meal together. The ministry also provides greeting cards and postage to help the homeless get back in touch with loved ones. Several people each year get reconnected to their families through this effort.

However, this ministry would not be possible without the help of many volunteers all over Knox County.

Powell Church welcomes other churches and community groups to get involved.

Some groups prepare the meal, some groups serve the meal, and some do both.

cross currents Lynn Pitts, lpitts48@yahoo.com

Powell Church has about 25 volunteers who are involved each week. Not everyone attends the service at St. John’s Lutheran, but they cook and gather supplies or run errands for the ministry during the week.

“Anybody can get involved, through prayer, monetary donations, socks, underwear, men’s clothes, bus passes, gas cards, or just volunteer your time,” says Bauknight. January through March is the most difficult time for the min-

istry because much of the attention the homeless get around Thanksgiving and Christmas fades away.

Bauknight says, “I have seen men and women come to the service with anxious and wearied looks who were moved to tears followed by smiles through simple expressions of God’s love for them. When a person comes into contact with the love Jesus has for them, lives are changed.”

As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous. …

(Joshua 1:5b NRSV) Joshua has always been one of my favorite Biblical heroes. I freely admit that part of my affection for him is founded in the fact that John Derek played Joshua in Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,” and he was quite a handsome young man! (I also freely admit that was many, many years ago, when I was not yet a teenager.)

In the years since, I have seen many torches passed: from generation to generation, the responsibilities, the stories, the dreams, as well as the heartbreaks and failures are handed down and remembered. They become part of who we are.

What started me thinking about the passing of torches, I suppose, is the coming election. One of the most impressive aspects of our electoral system is the fact that our votes are cast, counted and recorded, and the outcome is accepted by the populace. The changing of the guard — the handing over of power — happens without warfare, and thankfully, the government goes on.

We Americans are blessed to be able to choose our leaders. We all have opinions to which we are entitled, and we get to express our opinion by voting. Part of our covenant as a nation is that we accept the outcome of the election. Whether our candidate is elected or not, when the voting is over, we are still America, and so far at least, the Republic has survived.

It behooves us to be involved, to be aware, to think deeply about what is at stake.

And it behooves us to remember that we are “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Traditional or standardized report cards?

By Kip Oswald Report cards came home last week, and grades became the hot topic of conversation in our family!

While we were at our friend’s football game, I heard Mom and Aunt Becky talkKip ing about how they didn’t understand report card grades. So I asked Mom later and she explained.

Mom has two friends whose kids are in fourth grade but in different schools. Both of them made an A in math, but one of them has not even started working on two- and threedigit multiplication while the other one has and is even starting division.

The parents are worried that the A’s don’t really mean the same thing although they are given on the same report card.

Mom’s other friend’s daughter, Lucy, goes to Gresham Middle, where she receives a report card that shows which skills she has learned and which skills she needs to work on. It is called a standards-based report card.

Evidently, Mom’s friends were saying that all schools should have this type of report card. Since we had never heard of it, Kinzy and I began our researching and boy, we found a lot of information!

We found that most states have specific skills students are expected to

know at each grade level and standards to show kids’ understanding of the skills.

A lot of schools are changing their report cards to show how a student is doing in learning the standards. So, instead of the familiar A - F in each subject, this new report card has a number that shows whether the student has reached, exceeded or not yet met those expectations or is advanced, proficient, basic or below basic for each standard.

Advanced does not equal an A on a traditional report card.

For example, if I receive A’s on every math test during the semester, I would probably receive an A on a traditional report card. If those math tests measured only the concepts seventhgraders are expected to master, those A’s would be the equivalent of “proficient” on a standards-based report card; I would be doing what I should be doing, but not necessarily more.

The skills-based report card keeps all kids graded on the same grade-level skills and parents can see exactly which skills and knowledge their child has learned. If Mom’s friends had gotten this k ind of report card, one kid would have been at the basic level and the other at a more proficient level. Then grades don’t vary from school to school as they can do with regular report cards.

Do your own research into standards-based report cards and send your comments to oswaldsworldtn@ gmail.com

Co-principal Susan Espiritu points to Hawaii on the globe.

Espiritu shows principal’s other side

By Sandra Clark Co-principal Susan Espiritu met with the Leaders Club at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy after school last week to discuss her experiences in Hawaii. Although she grew up in Fountain City, when she was 15 her family picked up and moved to Hawaii after a pleasant vacation there.

“They sold their business and their house,” she said. After nine months, they decided to return.

She met the man she would eventually marry, Charlie Espiritu, there. He was born in the Philippines but grew up in Hawaii. A great swimmer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a SEAL, she said. They’ve been married 43 years now and have three children and several grandchildren.

The whole family will return to Hawaii in December to visit family there.

It’s a 10-hour flight from Atlanta to Hawaii, which lies some 2,500 miles from Knoxville.

Espiritu gave each kid a lei, and teacher Porscha Harris led them on a virtual tour of Hawaii via Chromebook.

Ruth White and I learned more about Hawaii than we ever knew, and now Ruth wants to go for a vacation. Here’s what our junior reporters noted:

KeShawn Jackson – Men and women wear leis; they use a sling with a spear to catch fish; they eat octopus; music is the biggest thing; they play all types of sports. Hawaii is the only island with a live volcano.

The Hula is a dance show story.

There are no snakes, no poison ivy, no air conditioning, no alligators. There is lots of sushi, lizards and tropical birds.

Ja’Maya Hollis – Their houses are not like those on the mainland.

(They tend to have single wall construction without insulation because the weather is temperate. There’s no need for heating or air conditioning, although they do have fans.)

Zora Freeman – Mrs. Susan Espiritu moved to Hawaii to see Hawaiian culture. She travels there by plane and returns to see her husband’s family and for the beach.

Ja’Niyah Thornhill – She recalled the principal’s story about the time Charlie and his brother dived for octopus. The way to kill it is to turn the skin on its head inside out so the inky poison paralyzes the octopus.

One time they brought a dead octopus up for Susan to hold and it wrapped its legs around her legs. “They could

hear me screaming at the bottom of the ocean.” The islands have snow on high mountains … no air conditioning, alligators or poison ivy.

Ashaundae Bowman – They dive and fish for sea animals. They boil the fish, then eat it. Some things they eat raw. They cook pigs at a luau (a big pig buried in a hole and a little pig turned on a pole stuck through the pig) … They have a volcano and volcanic ash (black beach).

Donnisha Garrett – Mrs. Espiritu’s family lives in Hawaii. They wear leis and have parties.

Bench helps build friendships

By Ruth White Members of Brownie Girl Scout troop 20366 came up with a way to help students find a friend when playing at Powell Elementary.

Thanks to a suggestion from teacher Emily Russell, the group helped create a Buddy Bench. Russell had mentioned to the troop members that on many occa-

sions, students come to her on the playground and talk about not having a friend to play with during recess.

The girls didn’t like the idea of someone not having a friend and wanted to make a difference. The Buddy Bench was installed on the playground over fall break and troop members plan to be on the lookout for someone needing a friend.

When asked why someone might not have a friend, the girls gave some thought and came up with some great answers—someone might be new to the school, friends might have had a falling out or someone might just be sad. Whatever the reason, the girls are eager to make new friends and show kindness to others.

The group would like to thank Jason Terry and Home Depot for the donation of time and materials for the project. The bright green and colorfully painted bench is a beautiful addition to the school playground.

Powell Elementary student Landon Godfrey interviews members of Girl Scout troop 20366 for the school’s new station.

A year ago this week – the actual date was Oct. 28, 2015 – “The Rotary Guy� made his debut in The Shopper News. Most weeks it appears in all eight editions, from Halls to South Knoxville and from Union County to Farragut.

The Rotary Guy was created by the publisher of The Shopper News, Sandra Clark, a professional I have known and respected since we first met many years ago. Even the name – The Rotary Guy – was her idea. I am a member and past president of the Rotary Club of Farragut and a Rotarian of 26 years. I write the weekly newsletter for my club and was a newspaperman for 35 years.

Here’s how this Rotary Guy started. In September 2015 Sandra visited a Wednesday meeting of Farragut Rotary. “Hey, we need to talk after your meeting.� Then she laid out her idea for this weekly column. Every week? “Yep, every week,� she said. I wondered then – is there enough happening in these seven clubs for a weekly column? After the year it’s clear that there is – and then some.

As this one-year anniversary approached, I asked Sandra how and why she created The Rotary Guy. When the Halls Shopper started a Bearden edition, Sandra

wanted to meet the “movers and shakers.� She began going to Bearden Rotary every Friday. “I met some of the best folks in town. Not only did Phil Parkey and Richard Bettis buy my lunch, but they donated $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation in my name, making me a Paul Harris Fellow,� she said.

These days you can often find her at meetings of the North Knox club. “Then we launched the Farragut Shopper and you started nagging me about the abundance of Bearden Rotary news in the Farragut Shopper ... and the lack of Farragut coverage,� she said. “You were incensed. That got me thinking about The Rotary Guy. “So you and I crafted the idea of Rotary Guy. You’re a member, but you’re also a news professional. You’ve hit the perfect pitch in talking about clubs and Rotarians.�

It’s an honor to be “The Rotary Guy� and to spread the news about the good work and the good Rotarians all around us.

Sandra added this: “I love this column and know that others do as well.

That’s why we have complaints when it’s left out of the Powell zone – and Powell doesn’t even have a Rotary Club.�

It’s been a great year.

The Rotary Guy thanks Rotary and Sandra Clark!

The event is a fundraiser for the facility with the proceeds going toward needed programs. The Greater Knoxville Sertoma Club and R. Larry Smith made sure all food was covered for the block party, stretching the proceeds even further to make a difference in the lives of residents. “Senior adults are the center of the community, they are living history,� said Lawson. “We want the neighbors to know that they are part of the community, and the block party is one way to get everyone together.�

Manor volunteers helped serve up supper for guests. Pictured are Andy Bevers, Pat Kline and Jan Johnson.

By Ruth White The Manor at Northgate hosted its third annual Fall Block Party and Mother Nature did her part and held off on the rain and cooler temperature.

The back patio was transformed into a gathering spot for residents and members of the community as sounds of the band A.M. Station filled the air with great oldies, the grill was popping with burgers and crowds joined in the dancing and fun.

Engineering and surveying by RGC

By Sandra Clark The spotlight fell on Robert G. Campbell & Associates at the October meeting of the Halls Business and Professional Association.

Robert Campbell, P.E., talked about the business founded by his dad, Bob Campbell. Robert said he’s lived in Halls since age 4 and he’s been in the business for 35 years.

Bob Campbell worked for the Tennessee Department of Transportation for 17 years before starting the Halls BPA board members Joe Pratt and Denise Girard are ready company. “He named it Volfor a tour of the tank which is expected to be operational by unteer Engineering but later year’s end.

“This really helps smaller counties.”

Three facets of the company are: Site designs: “We laid out most of the subdivisions in Halls and designed the David Jones Industrial Park in Anderson County.”

He said a recent project in Hancock County brought 90 new jobs to the poorest county in Tennessee.

Utility design services: RGC has designed 10 water filter plants. It installs water lines and does sewer line rehab. It also works as a consultant for Hallsdale Powell Utility District and contracts with other utilities for inspection services.

Construction services: “Once you design something, you want to be involved (with the project) until the end,” Campbell said. The company often works with contractors until the projects are complete.

business It’s time to plant dogwoods It’s dogwood planting time in Tennessee, and Vicki Baumgartner, program manager for Dogwood Arts, has all the details.

In Halls last week, Baumgartner said the Fountain City trail will be featured in 2017 with special attention to the trails in North Hills and Timberline.

“You can buy trees online or from one of our nursery partners,” she said.

Small, bare-root dogwoods are just $25.

The festival requires a constant replenishing of new dogwoods.

Baumgartner She said the average urban dogwood has a 25- to 30-year lifespan. Dogwood Arts was organized in 1955 with the first festival in 1961. Trees planted at the outset are now 60 years old, if still alive.

Bazillion Blooms is a promotion, now in its eighth year, to plant 10,000 trees in 10 years. It’s on track with nearly 8,000 April-blooming, disease-resistant dogwood trees having been planted.

Baumgartner joined the Dogwood Arts team in 2015, coordinating the outdoor component of programming. A graduate of UT, she has served on the Dogwood Arts board and volunteered on several committees including Bazillion Blooms and Dogwood After Dark. She served as interim director at the Knoxville Botanical Garden.

She has also served on the board of Random Acts of Flowers and the French Broad Preservation Association.

Sarah McAffry: Photographer

By David Hunter While looking for a story in downtown Powell, I checked out the Renaissance work being done around Emory Road and Spring Street, where the business most familiar to my generation, Groner’s Grocery, used to operate.

As far as I know, nobody else has used the term, but Renaissance in its simplest definition just means “a new birth,” and that’s what’s happening in Powell and other places close by.

Rather than destroy old buildings that have already had one life, Realtor Justin Bailey, whose mother, Laura, is also prominent in real estate, is putting buildings to new use, saving the architecture of a past day for the use and enjoyment of people of the 21st century.

Where teenagers once bought sliced bologna and

bread for sandwiches – after sneaking off campus from Powell High School at lunchtime to shop at Groner’s Grocery – other things are now happening. One of those things is “Photography by Sarah McAffry,” located in an upstairs studio.

The elegant lettering on the door, “Photography by Sarah McAffry,” says it all: A photographer plies her business from a building built long before she was born with simplicity and dignity.

A photography studio with no specials advertised, and an artist letting the work posted on her studio walls speak for itself.

Incidentally, all the busi-

nesses in the building are owned by women.

McAffry, who grew up near her present studio, is a Powell High graduate and a graduate of the University of Te n ne s s e e .

Her major was English and she taught at Powell High for six years before getting into wedding photography part-time.

So how does a veteran teacher and amateur photographer become a professional with a studio in a renovated building with historic background?

“The doors just started to open,” McCaffry recently told me. “Teaching English was my passion, but photography became another passion. Now I

support my family taking photographs.”

Born on the cusp of Generation X and the Millennial generation, McCaffry is laid back, casually dressed in a manner envied by this old Baby Boomer, who grew up in an era that defined “casual day” as no tie for men and maybe slacks for women.

Beards, long hair on men and women in jeans were forbidden. I like these new times better.

In addition to portraits, including school senior portraits, McAffry is doing portraits of “older women who haven’t had a portrait made in 30 years.” Said McAffry recently, “Women who very often don’t see themselves as attractive any longer, are often amazed at how much different a good portrait is than how they actually viewed themselves.”

Amen to that and a tip of

the hat to McAffry that one so young recognizes that people don’t stop being what they were before because of a few added years. Our culture didn’t begin with MTV and Madonna.
